Cougar, the New White Elephant

Join me over on Four Strong Women today, while I discuss cougar politics and cultural perspectives on sex. Or was it cultural perspectives on politics and cougar sex? You’ll see. Just go read it…

It’s Here!! National Masturbation Month!!

I love it! There likely won’t be wide news coverage of the event; thus, I’ve done my part to promote it all week. Talking about it, I mean. It’s pretty awesome that we live in an age that such a glorious celebration of the self can exist. Not quite steeped in the clout of say, American Heart Month (February) or Classical Music Month (September), National Masturbation Month has its own kind of allure. If nothing else it begs questions like, “How do you celebrate National Masturbation Month?” Is it like the Super Bowl? Do you tailgate? Do you invite friends over and prepare iconic snack treats? Do you wear costumes? Do you just fly solo in solemn reverence to your most perfect lover?

Few know this, but under a different guise I worked for a while as an editor for Whispering Lily, a wholly sex-positive site website dedicated solely to the art of masturbation. The site featured reader-submitted stories about their self-love experiences alone or with others. The admins also provided in-depth articles on safe self-sex, toys, techniques. Needless to say, it was a very interesting job—almost right up there with my ideal employment, which is copywriting descriptions of toys for an adult catalogue (I was sold on the job years ago when I read a description for fake nipples: “Looks real! Won’t slip! Dishwasher safe!”). It was all at once hot, scary, and refreshing to learn all the creative ways that people get themselves off, and how eager they were to talk about those experiences with others. It was also an editorial side show, as I’m sure you can well imagine.

That’s all fun and frolic, but the most poignant commentary I ever read on masturbation was from Eric Francis, Planet Waves astrologer (the one who got me the Whispering Lily gig, don’t ya know) and all-around great guy. He wrote a treatise on the relationship between masturbation and sexual orientation, the point of which being, if you masturbate, you are at least bi if not homosexual. In order to cathartically learn and produce the response needed for orgasm, one must be deeply connected to the physical, psychological, and emotional (I’d also argue spiritual) processes of one’s love object. One must crave such intimacy. The ability to achieve that for one’s self, according to Francis, suggested that not only is everyone bi at minimum, but was, from cellular beginning.

His words were more eloquent than my awe of them. Maybe he’s right, maybe he’s not. Regardless, it was inspiring that he allowed an otherwise totally selfish pursuit to potentially widen his awareness on humanity. It certainly never occurred to me to wax philosophical while getting myself off. Combine the theme of the month and Francis’ ingenuity, surely one of us will come up with the solution to all of the world’s problems.

So, what are you doing for National Masturbation Month? It turns out I have a new interracial erotic novella coming out, and you have… all the right stuff to enjoy it… alone. I think celebrations are in order!  Gigolo Seduction, available today from Decadent Publishing! Enjoy it with the free Reader’s Guide.

Olivia Starke, Bringing Love to the Urban Undead

You’ve read paranormal erotica, but unless it had zombies banging their way through Sin City, I promise you’ve haven’t really read it. Author of love that goes bump in the night, Olivia Starke is making a name for herself, giving paranormal fiction new life–or should I say, “infecting it” with a modern twist.

New from Decadent Publishing’s The Edge series is her trio Zombies in Vegas. Currently released, Zombie Lovin’ is the first installment of steamy secrets that stay in Vegas, soon to be followed by Vegas Is Dead, Baby and Living is Overrated. Along with a healthy dose of humor, the series is chock full of sexy stiffs and beguiling biters. “My zombie series is dedicated to my love of silly horror movies, because it’s a little silly as well.”

I asked Starke what drew her to write such niche PE, and among her influences she noted Haven, The Walking Dead, and Being Human. “I’ve always loved horror movies and Halloween, even when I was a child, terrified of horror movies and Halloween. I guess it’s the way my brain is wired. I’m a huge science geek.”

When she’s not brainstorming salacious stories of sex with shufflers Starke works in retail management and lives in a little town in southern Missouri, which she describes as “smack dab in the middle of the Bible Belt.” She keeps her writing a secret out of concern for her day job, saying,”Here, all conception is immaculate conception.”

Despite her penchant for penning the creepy, Starke says she’s not sold on the notion of spooks being real. “I want to believe. Weird things happen at the store where I work, after we close at night. Balls come bouncing through the store out of nowhere, motion activated toy dolls talk in the back and no one’s around but us up front, dark shadows pass by the surveillance camera in the stock room when it’s empty. A couple weeks ago the girls were working stock after we’d closed. A broom had somehow fallen off the rack and balanced on its bristles and stayed that way all night until I got to work the next morning. We all got pics. The store is next to a nursing home, so maybe we get ghostly visitors? I go with random coincidences.”

When she’s not working, Starke enjoys reading historical and regency romance. “I’m a huge fan of the classics like Anna Karenina, Madam Bovary. Currently on her bedside table is a collection of short paranormal stories by New York Times Bestselling Authors titled Huntress.

Starke has loads of titles coming out soon, including Her Moonlight Lover and Midnight Madness, and Dreaming In Blue all from Decadent Publishing. Later this spring she will also be releasing a title on her own–A Free Taste Of Sin.
