Episode 355: The Rise of Sentient Object Romance
Manage episode 456547396 series 3316149
“Sentient object romance” is an increasingly popular erotica genre in which humans get ravished by inanimate objects that come to life. Some of the most wonderfully absurd titles I’ve seen in this area include “Glazed by the Gay Living Donuts” and “This Pumpkin Spice Latte Gets Me Off.” In today’s show, we’re going to explore the appeal of sentient object romance with an author who has published dozens of books in this area.
I am joined by Chuck Tingle, a USA Today bestselling author, two-time Hugo Award finalist, and Bram Stoker Award nominee. He is a mysterious force of energy behind sunglasses and a pink mask. He is also an anonymous author of romance, horror, and fantasy. Chuck writes to prove love is real, because love is the most important tool we have when resisting the endless cosmic void.
Some of the topics we dive into include:
- What do people find appealing or arousing about sentient objects?
- Why are some people attracted to objects in real life?
- How does attraction to objects intersect with neurodiversity?
- What’s the political subtext behind sentient object romance?
You can check out Chuck’s website to learn more about his work, and check out all of his books here.
