Synopsis
From the beginning of time, erotic art has played an enormous role in how cultures and societies are viewed by history. But scant attention has been paid to the artists themselves, leaving a hole in the study of how erotica reflects how society views its sexuality. In this groundbreaking work, contemporary writers of erotica such as Patrick Califia-Rice (Public Sex, Macho Sluts), Felice Picano (Onyx, Late in the Season) and Cecilia Tan (The Velderet, Sextopia) reflect on how their work originates, how their sexuality shapes their words and, more importantly, how their words have affected their sexuality.
