I want more people to write frankly about sex. I want to see an end to erotic illiteracy and to the censorship or sexual speech. I want to gut the stupidity and stereotypes that surround so many public discussions of sex and art.

One of my followers is “a 25-year old who hasn’t had enough sex in her life”. She’s welcome to stick around and learn how to get even less.

We’re not the only ones,” I said, disparagingly. Ridiculous to pretend we’d invented nudity, or hotel trysts. I was being a killjoy—that’s supposed to be part of the fun: the naughtiness, the unseemliness, the uncommonness. Except this is all so very common.

Hit Me Harder

9 August, 2009

from The State-Line Stripper

Embarrassing—
I got lost. And then I lost my fear.
Strangers and high places
and nightly publishing myself
naked except for a fireman’s hat.
I danced and Jehovah’s Witnesses
came unglued in the parking lot.

My creation was like the earth’s.
In the beginning there was shame,
then the body after shame,
dangerous happiness—
If I could remember how I got here
I wouldn’t be lost.

Yet my body recommends me.
All that I promised that I would not do, I did.
I got over my fear of darkness
when it seemed to me anything out there
would probably be better
than what shone here in the light.
