Sex Still Spoken Here: An Anthology

by Carol Queen (Editor), Jen Cross, Amy Butcher

Sex Still Spoken Here is not just a steamy, eclectic mix of hot stories, it's also an inspiring call to action, staking another fierce claim on importance of voicing the erotic. The Erotic Reading Circle--held monthly since 2006 at San Francisco's Center for Sex & Culture--is a community where writers put words to our complex desires and longings, and in which our erotic stories are celebrated and honored, not dismissed. This collection is culled from that Circle, representing the many writers who've dared to wrestle with the erotic muse.



Sexy, skillfully-crafted stories from 27 Erotic Reading Circle participants.



A wide-ranging conversation with the editors about the history of the Erotic Reading Circle and the importance of sex-positive writing spaces for both new and developed erotic writers.



Plus a how-to guide so you can start your own Erotic Reading Circle!



Contributors include Sinclair Sexsmith, Horehound Stillpoint, seeley quest, Simone Corday, Jeff Jacobson, Avery Cassell, Dorothy Freed, Scott Bentley, Joy West, Anaín Bjorkquist, Christine Solano, Lilycat, Jack Fritscher, Norman Armstrong, Holly Zwalf and more!

[Sinclair · Rating 5 out of 5]

Brilliant collection of stories, memoir pieces, essays, and dirty romps from the Erotic Reading Circle. This book makes me want to write more erotica, to reach out of my range and beyond my norm. It inspires me.

[Lynn Sunday · Rating 5 out of 5]

I am one of the authors but even if I wasn't I'd still give Sex Still Spoken Here a big thumbs up. This book is more than a collection of hot stories. It is the collective voice of the Erotic Reading Circle, an awesome community of writers focused on the importance of the erotic side of life.

I'm one of the editors of this book and I'm so proud of how it turned out! Activist erotica, electric reading, and hints on how to stir up trouble by forming your own erotic reading circle. And it's pretty. What's not to like?
