Taboo and Before: Once Again "The More Things Change..." - by William Dean (11/26/03)

"Popular icons love to mimic their more shocking and startling predecessors in that special way that is both absorption and homage. The latest example to smear itself across the American cultural stage (literally) is Boy George (pop Brit icon) imitating the inimitable performance artist Leigh Bowery (pop Australian icon) in Broadway's new show 'Taboo' produced by Rosie O'Donnell (pop TV icon)."

This is FNN, The Fetish News Network... - by William Dean (11/19/03)

"Co-ed couples are paired up and have a one-minute flash of sexual fame in which they mouth dialogue and sounds to accompany clips of porn movies shown on screens and television sets in the clubs. The audience then votes on which couple did the best faking-it job and they are awarded prizes."

Maggie, We Hardly Knew Ye: A Glimpse of America’s Avant-Garde Lesbian - by William Dean (11/12/03)

"It was this which set the stage for the great controversy over obscenity in America. The first section of Joyce’s Ulysses arrived at the magazine’s office in February 1918. Anderson and Heap knew it was special and worthy of promotion."

EDITORIAL

San Francisco from Porn to Poetry - Bill Noble (11/18/03)

"At one point, the narrator, in a frenzy of gluttonous foreplay, dresses his lover's cock as a submarine sandwich."

Thirty Thousand Days - Susannah Indigo (10/29/03)

"Personally, I'd like to think that somewhere around day 30,001 we all get evaluated on just the basic things -- how many days did we really listen? How many hugs and kisses and gentle caresses did we squeeze in? Hours of kindness? Moments of passion? Or maybe it will all come down to just how many really good dirty stories we read...."

EROTIC TALES: SERIALIZED

Thanksgiving - by Mike Kimera (11/27/03)

"Peter wants me to fuck him, and he wants everyone to know its happening. Joy spreads through me like liquid sunlight. Peter wants me. He's been watching me figure it out. When he sees my smile start, he kisses me. I am sleeping beauty being brought back to life. Except I'm going to reward my Prince by reaming his ass as hard as I can."

American Violet -- Chapter 2 - by Patricio (11/05/03)

"She laughs. It's a blessed release, the Flutterfly, the laughter. She straps it on herself, then puts on a simple dress -- yes, of purple -- that she treated herself to earlier in the week. She walks out in the rain, sheltering under an umbrella, playing with the remote control."

Clean Sheet-ology: Sagittarius, Ass Up in the Grass - by Nola Summers (12/03/03)

"The great outdoors appeals immensely to the Sagittarian, and not sex in the car in the parking lot; fucking in the forests, fellatio in the fields, green knees instead of rug burns when you’re ass up on a carpet of moss."

EXOTICA

Ribs - Bella Voz (12/03/03)

"He kisses me and I kiss him back, loving despite myself the sweet taste of animal flesh on his tongue. His hands encircle me and pull me down under him."

Velvet Babe and the Absolute Rogue in "Timeless" - Adrianna de la Rosa (11/26/03)

"Rogue parted his lips and sucked her gloved finger very softly for quite some time. His eyes were closed, and he was trembling mightily. Babe finally withdrew it and traced his mouth tenderly, and then ran the warm wet finger all around his face. The rogue thought he was going to melt at its softness. His cock was so stiff, he felt it was going to punch a hole through his trousers."

Real - Amber Hipple (11/19/03)

"Legs around his and my face, cheek, nestled against the broadness of his chest, gyration and undulation. Hips and hips. Smiling and watching his face, his breath...and heartbeat in my ears. Pristine clouds, I feel supported. Worshipping him as he thrusts. Most holy of holies and I understand love again."

The Person Who Changed My Life - Alicia Housman (11/12/03)

"His tongue swept over me, rough like a cat’s. He darted in and out and over me and spread the ice cream over me. I could tell that he was dizzy with the combination of tastes, the lemonade sherbet and my skin and the salt on it and the wetness between my legs."

FICTION

Jake - M. Woodhouse (12/03/03)

"This is your first time having sex with a penis. You've grown it carefully, ensuring the vas deferens and ejaculatory duct are in the right place, and even including balls and a prostate -- everything. You've checked for the correct number of nerve endings, and it’s more sensitive than a finger. And softer. Perhaps just because it's new."

Oasis - Nik Flandré (11/26/03)

"Her hand was again buried between her legs, but this time with the skirt all the way up. She wasn't wearing any panties. Her middle two fingers slipped in and out of her puss. Her bush was carved into a thin, glossy arrow pointing to her shining sex. Red-lacquered nails raked the baby-smooth skin of her thighs."

This Hurts Me More Than It Hurts You - Stephanie Schaeffer (11/19/03)

"I was in college the first time a man asked me to spank him. It was in the dorms at Columbia. I was fooling around with a sophomore after consuming quite a bit of alcohol, and as soon as we got naked he handed me an ordinary leather belt and told me to hit him across the butt with it."

Unlocked - A. Mills (11/12/03)

"I sat there for a long time, thinking what an innocent I must seem. Quiet, good grades, sports, didn't show much skin. I was nineteen and hadn't had intercourse. Still, I was by no means ignorant, and I didn't feel like a virgin."

POETRY

The way you were taut - Derek Adams (12/03/03)

"The sheer stockings dark..."

Forbidden - David G. Salkeld (11/26/03)

"I love it when you ride me / and forget yourself"

Curiosity Killed the Cat - Kathy Kubik (11/19/03)

"drunk butterflies dance in my belly, / your voice drips with sex, / each touch a promise of sin --"

Jungle Fever - Jessie Sandlin (11/12/03)

"You brought the overheated coffee / wrapped only in that damn red dragon kimono / and a pearl necklace"

REVIEWS

Exploring the Gender Frontier - by Mariette Pathy Allen Reviewed by David Steinberg (12/03/03)

"What distinguishes Allen's photography from so many other images of people who fall outside conventional notions of male-female polarity is the depth of her understanding of, and identification with, the people she is photographing."

Great Erotic Movie Moments: Patricia Charbonneau Seduces Helen Shaver in Desert Hearts - directed by Donna Deitch Reviewed by Gary Meyer (11/26/03)

"The lovers aren't shot to display their body parts; they're shot to show their intimacy, their connection -- plenty of kissing, facial caresses, slow embraces. Their nipples collide in brief close-up, Cay's larger breasts nuzzling Vivian's smaller ones, then back to kissing. Vivian finally rolls on top, her back arching in climax."

Urban Friction: A Modern Romance - directed by Marianna Beck and Jack Hafferkamp Reviewed by Adrianna de la Rosa (11/19/03)

"As a woman who's never seen sex scenes outside of mainstream films, this was like opening a giant box of special chocolate truffles, for my solo, naughty enjoyment. How wicked!"

Great Erotic Movie Moments: Marilyn Monroe Gives Love Lessons to Tony Curtis in Some Like It Hot - directed by Billy Wilder Reviewed by Gary Meyer (11/12/03)

"Her voice caresses the lyrics as sensuously as her gowns cling to her refreshingly well-fed form. As they rise above her diaphragm, the dresses dissolve into gauze and a pair of discreetly placed spangles. Monroe's formal wardrobe constantly jars the viewer with the illusion that she's running around topless."
