Susie Bright on Erotica and More!



I just stumbled upon an interesting article with feminist icon Susie Bright I thought I'd share.

At what age did you get bored?
As a teenager—the height of my babysitting years—when I was starting to have my own sexual experiences and got more sophisticated about reading. With really fantastic erotic fiction, you’re aroused on so many levels—the sensual, cerebral, aesthetic. I can’t predict what every person out there would get off on. All you can do is [find] great stories that will stick in people’s minds in some way.

What’s a story from 2008’s BAE that stuck in your mind?
“Blue Light” by Stephen Saylor. He’s a famous novelist, but he writes as Aaron Travis in his gay-man porn persona. I hadn’t had the experience of something supernatural scaring the bejesus out of me that was also profoundly erotic. [The story involves a man who gets screwed with his own detached penis]. I remember another oldie I wanted to include was Patrice Suncircle’s “Tennessee,” which [is set] in the rural South and involves a young girl and her fascination with a [another] girl who was a woman or a man, she couldn’t tell. [Suncircle] wrote that [in 1994] before the word transgender ever existed.
