The Erotic Mind of Howard Cruse — Podcast #156 — 09/28/09

[Look for the podcast play button below.]

Hey sex fans,

howardcruse2 I have a spectacular interview for you. I welcome the granddaddy of gay comix, Howard Cruse. He is here as part of The Erotic Mind
podcast series. As you know, for well over a year now I’ve been chatting with noted erotic artists, both visual and literary, from all over the freakin world in an effort to try to uncover something of the creative process involved in this specialized art form. Howard is the most senior person to join me in this effort. And he brings with him a historical perspective unlike that of any other of my previous guests.

In fact, I think it is safe to say that very gay or lesbian who has put pen to paper to create a comix or cartoon over the last 40 years can trace his or her lineage back to the groundbreaking work of my guest. This is remarkable stuff, kids; you don’t want to miss a moment of this.

Howard and I discuss:

His erotic novel, Stuck Rubber Baby.
Why he’s know as a bigfoot cartoonist.
Adding words to his illustrations.
Why he contends his work is not erotic per se.
From Headrack to Claude.
The evolution of the character, Headrack. in Barefootz.
The man behind Claude of Then There Was Claude.
Being there — The Stonewall Inn, June 1969.
His personal coming out story.

Both of these very talented women are taking a lead role in helping change our society’s perception of female sexuality and the gift of physical beauty. And each is doing it from what might, at first glance, appear to be the polar opposite of the other. But I believe appearances can be deceiving.

[Look for the podcast play button below.]

Hey sex fans,

helen_green_0027_sample Over the next two weeks, and in both of my podcast series on Mondays and Wednesdays, I will be featuring two absolutely amazing women. Both of these very talented women are taking a lead role in helping change our society’s perception of female sexuality and the gift of physical beauty. And each is doing it from what might, at first glance, appear to be the polar opposite of the other. I love my work! You’ll just have to tune in on both days to see what I mean.

Today I have the honor of introducing you to an exquisite photographer from Ontario Canada. We scrutinize The Erotic Mind of Leanne Bell. She, along with her equally talented husband, Dwayne, takes the photography of women to a new level of simplicity and sophistication. They unabashedly celebrate female physical beauty in the most extraordinary and riveting way. It’s as if they dress their models in nudity. You won’t want to miss a moment of this intriguing conversation.

Leanne and I discuss:

Her photography being both eye candy and mind candy.
The apparent contradiction of nudity and moral values.
The art of poising her models in everyday situations.
Nudity as an organic part of the photograph.
Cultural opposition to celebrating female physical beauty.
The gift of beauty and how it is often denigrated.

And for more of Leanne’s thoughts and vision, I encourage you to visit her website HERE.
