JAMESBURG, N.J.—SexIs magazine and parent company Eden Fantasys joined forces with venerated erotica publisher Cleis Press to launch The Naked Reader, an online book club for literate libidos.
Each month selected Cleis titles will be reviewed by members of EdenFantasys’ online community, who will then spark lively discussions in the EF forums. In addition, through a series of exclusive interviews and feature articles, SexIs and EdenFantasys will offer deeper insight into provocative themes—including “Sexuality and Race,” “The Limits of Monogamy” and “Sexual Healing through Surrogacy,” as well as such titillating fare as Oral Sex Month—based on the featured works.
Look for insights from Best Sex Writing 2010’s Rachel Kramer Bussel; “The Trollop with a Laptop,” celebrated erotica author/editrix, Alison Tyler; Cleis founder Felice Newman; author, performer and web celeb Violet Blue; and conservative nemesis Paul Krassner, author of In Praise of Indecency. Among the books discussed will be Best Sex Writing 2010; Best Fetish Erotica; Do Not Disturb: Hotel Sex Stories; Playing With Fire: Taboo Erotica; The Ultimate Guide to Fellatio and The Ultimate Guide to Cunnilingus, both by Violet Blue; Afternoon Delight, Erotica for Couples; Pleasure Bound; Peep Show; and Best Women’s Erotica 2010.
To kick off the Naked Reader launch, EdenFantasys.com is hosting well-known Cleis Press author and blogger, Mitzi Szereto on the Community Interview. Mitzi will be answering questions all week and sending her books to readers who ask the best questions.
