In February, I documented what I thought was strange case about Fanny Hill. Or more precisely, a certain edition of the book. Within a week of making a post, another copy of that same addition appeared on eBay, this one with its illustrations found into the book — satisfying proof that the unbound illustrations accompanied […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
In erotica, Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure is something of a bible. More popularly known as Fanny Hill, it has since its debut in the late 1740s rarely been out of print, much pirated, and (well, unlike a bible,) often prosecuted for obscenity. Among the first pirated books in America, Memoirs first saw print […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
As a collector of erotica and “curiosa,” an old bibliophile’s codeword for the pornographic, I come across a lot of unusual publications. Some are historical interesting — like a rare pre-Civil War erotic novel — and some are downright silly…
While I buried myself in finishing Desire’s Pursuit – now renamed Training Desire (w00t!) for Ravenous Romance, one of my self-imposed reading assignments was delving into Daniel Bergner’s The Other Side of Desire. The book’s garnered a lot of media attention, from the NY Times to Salon and NPR. Bergner even blogged over at Powells […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I’m slogging my way through my final edit on the Next Novel with the most intense effort coming later today after I receive corrections from my proof/first reader. Thus, in-depth blogging won’t resume until next week. You can, however, find entertainment at the Ravenous Romance website where a new story “Hot Fling” is yours for […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Seems the sex memoir is coming into its own. I’m not talking Jenna or Meliss P, the Euro wondergirl, but more mainstream individuals like Glora Vanderbilt and fomer ballerina Toni Bentley. From a NY Observer review which is no longer on-line,* it would appear that Vanderbilt’s book looks tad vapid, big on breathless wonder and […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
With conservatism at something of an apex in its push to own America, lock, stock, and barrel, both a novel and a movie about Alfred Kinsey come into being. To me, it almost feels like a cosmic reminder: Don’t forget what we freed ourselves from — those moralistic, repressive post-WW II constraints. It started whenKinsey […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

I use to peak in on the Toronto Inernational Film Festival annually because it proved to be a solid source for discovering films with erotic content. That seems to hold true this year if the NYT is any indication. I’m keen on the seeing the Kinsey movie (although I don’t think Liam Neeson is going […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
