Best Sex Writing of the Year, Volume 1: On Consent, Bdsm, Porn, Race, Sex Work and More
Description
This first volume of Best Sex Writing of the Year features a number of significant bloggers and some of the most important stories of the past two years. Alexandria Goddard is the blogger who made the important connections in the historic Steubenville Rape Case; Epiphora is the most renowned and saucy sex toy reviewer who has legions of dedicated followers; Lux Alptraum has recently sold the wildly successful Fleshbot and taken an editorial position at Nerve. These contributors (and many others) know the words that sell online, and their presence in this collection will carry tremendous weight with readers.
At the same time, this anthology features topics that have not received as much attention in previous editions. Jiz Lee raises exasperated hands to the ongoing ban of fisting in porn. Internationally acclaimed musician Ember Swift recounts her sexual appetites while she was pregnant. David Henry Sterry remembers his experience as a sex worker providing service to an 82-year-old woman. People -- including those beyond the sex community -- are learning to consider sex from many different angles, and this collection covers a great number of them.

Reviews
Just be warned that this is a book that will likely make you throw everything you think you know about sex and chuck it out the window. It's thought provoking and in some cases an emotional read and I can't recommend this book highly enough.-Clitical
I devoured Best Sex Writing of the Year from Cleis Press. I gulped down the articles in droves, rarely letting up, and as if with cheeks full of delicious thoughts and new ideas, I yelled These are the conversations we should be having. This book is a conversation-igniting megaforce to be reckoned with that features some of the best sex writers out there. -PeepsScoop
I did not find one story among the 20 that was not worth a read. Best Sex Writing 2013 is, as its name boldly states, just that: the best. --Washington Times, in praise of Best Sex Writing 2013
