[Look for the podcast play button below.]

Hey sex fans,

This here is a SEX WISDOM podcast, don’t cha know. The series where we chat with researchers, educators, clinicians, pundits and philosophers who are making news and reshaping how we look at our sexual selves. And today I have something astonishing for you. What if I told you I could introduce you to someone who, through his photography, chronicled our cultural history for the better part of last half-century and is still doing so today? And since a huge part of our cultural history is our sex history, he is the ideal guest for this series.

My guest is none other than Andrew Epstein, photographer, artist, illustrator, art director and cultural raconteur. He is here to chat with us about his life’s work; the people he’s known (and loved) who have changed the course of our society. Among them; Richard Schmiechen, Edmond White, Teri Garr, Roger Ebert, Ann Landers Bette Midler, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Robert Mapplethorpe, Mary Kay Place, Ann Bannon, Grace Jones, Margo St. James, Jeff Bridges, Fred Halstead, Tom of Finland, Leonard Matlovich and Peter Allen. This conversation is not to be missed!

Andrew and I discuss:

Photographing history.
Friends, Lovers and other Assignments.
Being part of the era he captured.
How his involvement with is subjects makes for a more intimate portrait.
The Queer Culture Exhibit.
Reclaiming queer history.
Ann Bannon.

Andrew invites you to visit him on his blog HERE!

The Erotic Mind of Rick R Reed — Podcast #194 — 03/22/10

[Look for the podcast play button below.]

Hey sex fans,

I’m happily closing in on my annual Spring Break; at which time I get a well-deserved week off. Glory Hallelujah! I gotta tell, I’ve been going at such a break-neck speed since the new year that the hiatus can’t come a moment too soon. I need a freakin break already.

But before we get to our respite; it’s full steam ahead! We continue The Erotic Mind podcast series today with and outstanding guest. He lives here in Seattle so he mozied on over to mi casa for a little tete a tete. (How’s that for mixing cultural allusions?) I have the distinct pleasure of welcoming a true master of the erotic horror novel, the one and only Rick R Reed.

If you know anything about the contemporary thrillers and speculative fiction market, you’ll know that his name stands out as a beacon of excellence in the genre. In fact, he has been called “the Stephen King of gay horror”. No faint that; I can tell ya! And I’m delighted to report that Rick is not nearly as scary as his novels. He’s a sweetheart and charming as all get-out!

Rick and I discuss:

Being a master of the horror and speculative fiction genre.
How he writes.
Tales Of The Sexual Underground.
Writing under his own name.
The evolution of the erotic component in his work.
Common theme in his work — sexual obsession.
The creative life is a difficult life.

As a special treat, Rick will share with us a mouth-watering selection of the fruit of his Erotic Mind. I’ll make your naughty bits all tingly, I promise.

BE THERE OR BE SQUARE!

One last thought, I hope you’re also following my two other interview series, which appear on Wednesdays. One is called Sex EDGE-U-cation — I converse with prominent practitioners, educators and advocates of unconventional sexual expressions and lifestyles. And we investigate the world of fetish sex and kink. The other is called SEX WISDOM — here I chat with researchers, educators, clinicians, pundits and philosophers who are making news and reshaping how we look at our sexual selves. I can assure you that these conversations will be well worth the time you spend with us.

Sex Wisdom with Jesús Ángel García – Podcast #191 – 03/10/10

[Look for the podcast play button below.]

Hey sex fans,

Ok, so here’s the deal. As you know, I’m all about bringing you the very best interviews I can for all my podcast series. Not to long ago I hooked up with this exceptional author who I think is absolutely perfect for The Erotic Mind series. But midway through our conversation I realize that we are discussing stuff that would fit equally well in my SEX WISDOM series.

So what am I to do but officially declare our very first twofer! Allow me to introduce you to Jesús Ángel García, the remarkable author of the multimedia novel badbadbad. His novel can be read on many levels. Those looking for a very engagingly and smutty erotic story will not be disappointed. However, his work is also infused with profound insights into the philosophy and psychology of why we are sexual. Getting to the marrow of this man and his complex novel is a sheer delight. You won’t want to miss this, my friends.

Jesús and I discuss:

How the man with such the heavenly name, Jesús Ángel, come to write such a devilishly profane book.
Why he writes under a pen name and the derivation of that name.
Is it a memoir or is it fiction?
The multimedia nature of his novel.
The intent and origins of badbadbad.
The prominence of religious imagery.
How psychological complexity is reflected in sexual expression.
His novel as a morality tale.

Adding to the sexual tension of today’s show, Jesús reads from badbadbad.

The Erotic Mind of Rob Clarke — Podcast #190 — 03/08/10

[Look for the podcast play button below.]

Hey sex fans,

Today we continue The Erotic Mind series. Only instead of a literary artist, like the last couple of weeks, we have an immensely talented visual artist joining us. I have the pleasure of introducing you to Rob Clarke.

As you know, for nearly two years now I’ve been chatting with noted erotic artists, both visual and literary, from all over the freakin world. I started this podcast series as a means to uncovering something of the creative process involved in this specialized art form. And I’m thrilled that many common threads are beginning to appear in these conversations. For example, Rob approaches his work in much the same way as many of his illustrator peers that we’ve met in this series, but his perspective and the fruits of his erotic mind are uniquely his own.

Rob and I discuss:

Dogboy Scoot, the embodiment of the male animal.
His personal life and how he got his start as an artist.
1986, the year his erotic images begin to show up.
Being an artist and an illustrator.
Moving into animation.
Emerging trends in erotic comics.
Belonging to a community of fellow artists.
The erotic in art; the art in the erotic.

Be sure to check out Rob and his delicious artwork, especially his newest creation — Dogboy Scoot, on his site HERE. And don’t forget to join his yahoo group.

Take a peek at some of Rob’s work.

[Look for the podcast play button below.]

Hey sex fans,

We’re back with more of The Erotic Mind podcast series. Over the last two years we’ve spent numerous hours with talented authors who have talked with us about their erotic short stories or novels. Late last year we began to diverge a bit from that standard fair to broaden our perspective to include another type of sex writing — the memoir. Today we go even further a field to include blogging.

Today I am thrilled to welcome one of my favorite personalities of the blogosphere, the enormously funny and delightfully smutty, Becky Sherrick Harks. She is the remarkable woman behind the wildly popular blog, Mommy Wants Vodka. She also freelances and contributes to other online sites.

Aunt Becky, as she is known online, will read two hilarious selections from the fruit of her Erotic Mind. You’ll be laughing out loud as she skewers modern sexuality.
