susiebrightToday is Susie Bright's birthday! Susie is one of the premier rock star goddesses of the sex-positive movement. We owe much of where we are today to her efforts. Babeland would like to take today to wish her a very happy birthday! Just take a look at what she's accomplished in her awesome career.Susie founded On Our Backs, the first lesbian porn magazine. Although it's now defunct, On Our Backs consistently had the hottest photos I've ever seen.Susie also founded the first women's-erotica book series, Herotica and also edits the Best American Erotica series which always has hot, original and fun new pieces. She's written a lot of other non-erotica books too.She also has a fantastic podcast called In Bed With Susie Bright. You can get it through Audible.com. I highly recommend it as each podcast is filled with politics, sex and Susie's great sense of humor. If that's not enough, you can also check out her Journal (blog). It too is filled with great information, fun links, and a very lively comments section.Anne Semans, Babeland employee and friend of Susie's sends her birthday wishes:
?Susie?s sexual activism and prolific pen have inspired many hours of better sex in bedrooms across the land. One of the things I remember Susie telling me when she was choosing stories for her erotica anthology, The Best American Erotica, is that she used the ?wet test.? You can figure out what that means I?m sure, but could there be a truer gauge for good one-handed reading?!?
