Angela Carter wrote that the pornographer is like a terrorist of the imagination who has the power to overturn society’s most basic notions of sex relations. As a terrorist, I have my counter-alliances. I am not only working for one side, that is, I am not only working for the gratification of a male audience. I think that pornographic fiction, with its possibility for multiple points of view on sex experience, is incredibly fertile ground for the thrills of gender vengeance.

This is something I think about. If you play “modern Robin Hood” for long enough, if you’re good enough at taking money from the rich, it’s probable that you someday become wealthy yourself. Only chances are it’s something you never notice because you forget how many people in the world are not rich. Then your 150k a year, 200k, 250k looks measly in comparison with the millionaires who got you there, even if you’re making double or triple what many entire households earn.
But I don’t know what to do.” That’s always what I think in my most desperate moments, which are never clear dilemmas or important choices but rather crises over the simple circumstance of being alive.
