The Erotic Mind of Heidi Champa — Podcast #202 — 04/26/10

[Look for the podcast play button below.]

Hey sex fans,

After the last couple of weeks of nothing but Q&A, I am so happy to get back to The Erotic Mind podcast series today. And boy, do I ever have an exceptionally charming…and I might add smutty…guest for you to meet. I’m delighted to welcome Heidi Champa to the show.

Today we travel to the wilds of south-central Pennsylvania to spend some time with Heidi in her natural habitat. We discover that lurking behind her mild-mannered and unassuming exterior there is an erotic powerhouse. We also discover that she is just hitting her stride as a published author. So look out world! Which only reinforces my belief that there is a creative erotic impulse hidden in all of us; that once let loose it will transform us and our world. Exciting stuff this, sex fans!

And to show you what I mean, Heidi will read a tantalizing selection from the fruit of her Erotic Mind. It’ll make you want to touch yourself impurely; I promise.

Heidi and I discuss:

  • Her website and her collection of stunning eye candy.
  • Why she self-identifies as a smut peddler.
  • Writing under her real name.
  • Who is this Heidi Champa person anyway?
  • What, in her life, sparks her erotic creations.
  • The skill necessary for creating petite yet powerful works of art.
  • Writing a “snapshot”.
  • Using words that arouse as well as startle.

Heidi invites you to visit her on her website HERE!

[Look for the podcast play button below.]

Hey sex fans,

We’re back with more of The Erotic Mind of the marvelous author, Rick R Reed. And we really get down and dirty this week. Ya know, since the beginning of this podcast series, well over two years ago, I’ve been wanting to discuss the connection between sex and suspense and sexuality and horror. But not until Rick showed up on the scene was this conversation possible. In this, Part 2 of our chat, I discover his uncanny ability to delve into people’s psychosexual motivations. No wonder he is the master of his craft.

Part 1 of my chat with Rick appeared last week at this time. But wait, did you somehow miss last week’s installment? Well that’s just not right! But don’t worry; you can make it up. All my podcasts are archived right here on my site. All ya have to do is use the site’s search function to your right.  Type in Podcast #194 and PRESTO! But don’t forget the #sign when you do your search.

Rick and I discuss:

  • The different writing skills involved in producing a short story and a novel.
  • His writing is all character driven.
  • The intimate connection between sexuality and suspense.
  • The physical response to fear is similar to sexual arousal.
  • The excitement of danger.
  • Gay fiction and the sizable straight female audience.
  • What he looks for in the erotic art of others.
  • His inspirations.
  • His sexual heroes.
  • What the future holds for him and his work.

As a special treat, Rick will share with us two more dark and fanciful selections of the fruit of his Erotic Mind.

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.

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.

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

[Look for the podcast play button below.]

Hey sex fans,

Rob Clark

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.

Aunt Becky and I discuss:

  • How she started her blogging career.
  • Working with a fellow blogger on the Mushroom Printing blog.
  • Launching Mommy Wants Vodka in 2007.
  • The trouble that name causes.
  • Back to school to study microbiology.
  • Family details.
  • Writing under her real name.
  • Being comfortable enough in her own skin to write autobiographically.

For more of Aunt Becky and her sex writing visit her on her Mommy Wants Vodka website HERE!
