Acerca de esta escucha
Is sex with The Hulk technically a threesome? Does The Flash do everything faster? Has Wonder Woman really never faked an orgasm?
Explore these questions and more with this collection of speculative, comedic essays on how superpowers might affect the sex lives of famous superheroes. Based on genuine scientific research and both Marvel and DC comic book and movie canon (and more!), Sex Lives of Superheroes is a refreshingly frank and fun deep dive into the pros, cons, and plot twists of superpowered sex.
Drawing from biology, physics, psychology, and more to play out (wild, fictional) scenarios about superheroes' sex lives, this in-depth analysis will definitively answer your burning questions, including:
- How does sex ed from the 1930s and 1940s stack up to today's (and what does that mean for Captain America's love life)?
- Can Spider-Man do whatever a spider can . . . in bed?
- Does Green Lantern prove that sex is better in space?
With interludes detailing some of the strangest sexcapades in superhero history, and the closest sexual equivalents we have in the real world, Sex Lives of Superheroes is a testament that sometimes life is even stranger than fiction.
This enhanced audio edition features a bonus chapter of excerpts from the author's award-winning podcast Talk From Superheroes.

The Trojan War is ancient history. The gods of Olympus are silent and have not appeared to mortals for generations. In the city-state of Sparta, young Gorgo’s mother gives a warning with her dying breath: the Persians are coming. The princess Gorgo, weaned on her nurse’s stories of gods and shapeshifters, never forgets her mother’s last words. When at last the drums of war begin to sound, she is swept up in a dangerous game of politics, treachery, and vengeance.

Cawley “Caw” McMackin lost his father when he was just a boy. More specifically, he saw his dad get torn apart by a massive monster that was slumbering beneath the surface of a North Carolina lake. Now he’s a grown man who has dedicated himself to guarding the very same lake, ensuring that no one else awakens the creature. That is until the arrival of Vaha Verma, a hotshot tech CEO who claims to want to buy the lake and turn it into a vacation spot.

During his journeys around Japan, Smith recorded ancient Japanese myths and legends in his personal diaries. The result is a fascinating collection of historical legends from all over Japan, with themes including ghosts, unrequited love, Shinto landscape, tree and ocean spirits, samurai culture and tales driven by Bushido and Buddhist ethics. Gordon Smith's writing combines a realist style with supernatural elements, resulting in an anthology of 'magic realist' tales which will bewitch and captivate listeners.

In 2018, during an interview with journalist Tanya Pearson, Shirley Manson lamented: "It’s a blanket fact that after September 11th, nonconformist women were taken off the radio.” This comment echoed a reality Pearson had personally witnessed as a musician and a fan, and launched her into a quest to figure out just what happened to these extraordinary female figures. Pretend We’re Dead seeks to answer two big questions.

Nearly seven million Americans live with Alzheimer’s disease, a tragedy that is already projected to grow into a $1 trillion crisis by 2050. While families suffer and promises of pharmaceutical breakthroughs keep coming up short, investigative journalist Charles Piller’s Doctored shows that we’ve quite likely been walking the wrong path to finding a cure all along—led astray by a cabal of self-interested researchers, government accomplices, and corporate greed.

Research
The amount of science that went into examining what was a humorous and hypothetical topic was quite surprising. I honestly thought the book would be entirely comedic, but in the best possible way as someone who also likes science, I enjoyed this both as a learning and laughing experience.
Andrew's reading brought a certain amount of wryness to the audiobook, you can imagine him slyly smirking through many of these passages. Possibly the only other person I'd have liked to read this aloud to me, would have been Diana herself.
Great job everyone, and I really hope there *IS* a sequel.
