Does Sex Make a Book 'Adult?'

July 2, 2026 · 1 h 9 min

Show notes

Victoria and Soman go straight at the big question of the moment – do all adult books need sex? And what has made our brains so… horny? They also answer questions about the difference between AI and a ghostwriter, and how they plan their careers and decide what to write.  Soman is mourning the Wimbledon crash-out of Serena Williams, and Victoria wants to get through next week’s photoshoot without a meltdown.
