Step Back, Shut Up, Fuck Off

I began this one initially as a plea to playwrights. Having had the pleasure of seeing a bunch of my one-acts produced across the U.S. (even some of a more ‘adult’ nature) I thought maybe I could pass along...
De-balling, Retracting and Playing It Safe: How Cultural Inclusionary Language Is Killing Sex Writing

My part two of this three-part article of the essential parts of erotica, this time foreplay, again sees us traipsing down very personal considerations. As much as I can't tell you how to set up a seduction—where it should take place, how...
