Rachel Kramer Bussel, former Village Voice Columnist and author of many fantastic erotica books as well as a great blog called the Lusty Lady is going on a virtual blog book tour to promote her newest books: She's on Top and He's on Top - erotica of domination and submission. On May 6th, she will be wrapping up her tour at Babeland! Check back here then to read an excerpt from one of the books and a review from yours truly, check back here on May 6th. And be sure to visit the official tour site to check out all of the other fantastic blogs that Rachel will be visiting.One of the things I like best about Rachel Kramer Bussel's erotica collections is that they tend to focus on a particular topic - spanking, voyeurism, cross-dressing, etc for those of us who know what we want and don't want to fuddle around with a lot of stories that aren't quite doing it. Anthologies that range far and wide are great for beginners who need a sense of all of the possibilities. But once you know that lesbian cowboys are your thing (ahem), then stories that take place in spaceships and don't involve rope might not be quite as exciting.One of the reasons that I love all erotica is because I get to supply the pictures on my own. I love to watch porn, but sometimes I prefer not to have every toss of the head and slap of the ass pictured for me. When I read erotica, I can imagine the types of people I'm most attracted to and I can adapt the location to suit me. Is that kitchen a cozy, vintage style or sleek and modern? Is that woman leaning against a cool, sub-zero fridge or a quaint porcelain sink? It's up to me.The other great thing about erotica is that it's inexpensive and new, good erotica is being written everyday. For some of the best, check out Sugasm, a weekly collection of the best sex writing, both information and enticing. It's a great way to explore new erotica and get a lot of great tip and tricks as well - and watch out for this blog, because we're sometimes in there!Digg!
