Description

Your friendly neighbourhood spider person with radioactive sperm, an Amazonian warrior who gets tied up, and a caped crusader who likes to fight with his female opponents - it’s time for some heroic bedroom activities!

In this episode, Nikki & Meg are joined by writer & podcaster Diana McCallum to discuss her book, Sex Lives of Superheroes, and the many considerations about what it takes to date & mate a super powered human.

Join their very scientific conversation about:

* how to talk to your lover about your superhuman sperm, super stretchy genitals, or your many speeds of attack

* whether it’s better to be…intimate…with a strong superhero or a psychic one

* our FMK bracket for supes of all kinds
