Author preciousharlot has posted a sex and submission story at Lusty Library:
My Submissiveness is taking over my body.. and it scares me a little
I can feel it all around me Closing in to my core
I feel that i cant control it any longer, i used to be able to
i don’t know what happened… A friend says that I’m craving something
i need something…. a Dominate part
Rachel Kramer Bussell, author of over 100 erotic stories, teaches an Erotica 101 workshop, does erotic readings and more:
The double-edged sword of personal writing is evident in some of Bussel’s favorite work. Her 2001 story “Lapdance Lust,” about her first lapdance, contains no sex. “There’s a – not necessarily a naivete, but a willingness to believe in the fantasy of the strip club that’s sweet in a way,” she says now. Another favorite piece is about a breakup, a true story (called “The End”) about someone who wound up reading it later. While they’re friends now, she says, writing about real life is “a tricky thing. It’s important to be totally free when you’re doing the writing, but afterwards, it takes on a life of its own.”
Let’s be blunt here. Ang Lee’s Chinese language film, Lust, Caution is not just a sex story. To call it that is to ignore it’s depth of character, the lush story and dark undertones, the masterful crafting of a story that pours out of the screen in gushes. For a movie with such serious and explicit erotic scenes that it was banned in China, sex hardly has anything to do with it.
This is one of the the most amazing films you will ever see. But be forewarned; it is going to affect you.
Western moviegoers may not be familiar with Tony Leung, but he is without question one of the finest actors living today. Leung has made a name for himself over the past twenty four years playing the romantic hero. In this film, he fills the screen as the gentle and dangerous Mr. Yee, a Japanese sympathizer who carries out brutal justice on his own Chinese countrymen. Yet, he knows inwardly that he is a doomed soul, carrying out the killing orders of people he does not respect. He is lost to his fate, and he knows it.
As Leung puts it, Lust, Caution is a love story between ‘Evil and Human.’
Considering that the lead of the film, playing opposite Leung is actress Tang Wei in her first film, it is astounding that she equally fills the screen, and it is even more astounding that she plays two distinct characters perfectly and flawlessly. As her character transforms from a Chinese everywoman into the guise of a socialite wife of a Chinese businessman, she literally becomes larger than life in the role. It consumes her.
The story of Lust,Caution is intertwined around these two, as she is bent on seducing him to have him assassinated, while he seems aware that she is not what she seems; yet still he is touched by her.
This is more than a love story. It’s real. It’s a struggle.
The movie ‘Deception’, which is being billed as an erotic thriller, has been dubbed as ‘dull’ in a review by PhillyBlurbs. It is a astoundingly damaging statement to make about a file that is supposed to strike two of our favorite pleasure zones - how one can set out to make a file that is supposed to thrill and arouse and achieve neither is almost an effort unto itself.
Sex and Business
We could go on and on about the deal between Zanox and ObsessionArt, but the article is full of dry corporate speak, so we’ve hit upon one key point that we found interesting:
The ObsessionArt gallery has been designed as the world’s first specialist online retailer of high quality nude, figurative and erotic art, boasting a vast range of exclusive prints and original art from internationally acclaimed artists and photographers, including classic realist painter Lee Jones, who is known for exhibiting alongside the likes of Damien Hirst and Tracey Emin.
Basically, the two companies are teaming up to offer affiliate programs and advertising for erotic art.
Sexy Circus
British columnist David Adams poses the question, ‘Is the circus sexy?’
Well, let’s take it a step beyond and ask ‘Why isn’t anyone making a sex circus?’
The Prague Post has a piece discussing the exploration of the erotic and exotic at Book World Prague, a show that takes place April 24-27 in, well, Prague of course.
Straight Women, Gay Sex
Neal Plakcy poses the question “Can a straight woman write convincing gay fiction?” over at GayWired.

The Bookworm07 Blog has an interview with paranormal erotica writer Kathleen Dante, in which she gives us a glimpse of how here writing life goes:
I’ve never suffered from a block, per se. My writing might slow to a crawl (a hundred words a day), but generally, if a scene is giving me problems, I just jump to another scene. If the writing is going really slow, I break out the dark chocolate.
Rupert Smith expounds more on his life writing erotica for the L.A. Times, in which he waxes about how erotica has found a home online, but still cannot be visible in more traditional outlets:
Bookstores and supermarkets are happy to stock titles in which children are abused, women victimized and men brutalized, but if you look for books in which consenting adults enjoy each other for the sexual entertainment of readers, you’ll be lucky if you find a few dog-eared copies hidden away at the back, near the bathroom. Erotic books don’t get reviewed, and you won’t be seeing their authors on “Oprah” any time soon.
It is true, and interesting that a movie with lots of sex gets shunned but bloody gore gets greenlighted several times a year.
Gracie McKeever gives an account of her book signing at the Victorian Lady Boutique, which suprised us as a new outlet for erotic authors to sell their books. Victorian Lady Boutique is a shop offering designer intimates, and a seemingly a natural fit for the right kind of erotica.
We’d like to bring to light the online blog offerings of erotic story authors when we find them, so we are delighted to share with you the online musings of Lacey Savage.
It is interesting to keep up with the musings of any good author, and it goes to reason that the most interesting blogs on the web usually belong to authors.

Big Steam for the Small Screen
Britain’s ITV1 is bringing an erotic thriller to the small screen, and has tagged Adrian Lester, an actor whose face is becoming more well known every day, as the lead. You might remember Lester from his days on the sitcom Girlfriends in the US.
