The latest “ink” on Lust<\/strong><\/em>: a post on BoingBoing<\/a> links to an interview on The Reverse Cowgirl<\/a> (thanks, Susannah!); nice posts in Electrolicious<\/a> and Boinkology<\/a> for Lust<\/strong><\/em> and the “kinky, pinky” downloadable wallpaper<\/a>; a review in Fleshbot<\/a> (in a list called “Valentine’s Day Presents Don’t Have to Suck Unless You Want Them To”); and a sweet review in Detroit’s Metro Times<\/a> by Sean Bieri, which introduced me to the word “squick”<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Forney has a golden knack for making even the fringiest, most squick-inducing sexual practices look fun, funny, sexy and human (if not exactly “normal”), without robbing them of their edge.<\/p>\n

In Lust<\/em><\/strong>, rather than poke fun at the advertisers, which would be easy, or exaggerate their kinkiness, which would be hard, she takes a wholly individual approach that celebrates the kinksters without slavishly illustrating the ad copy. …<\/p>\n

Now this<\/em> is a sexual education, and one that can’t help but bring a smile to the face of all but the most uptight readers.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

AND!! I’ll be doing another Lust<\/strong><\/em> reading in Seattle, at Bailey Coy Books<\/a>, on Thursday, February 28, at 7pm. This one is more of a sit-down affair, and there’ll be more sexiness, with dancer Fuschia FoXXX<\/a>, and cute, scantily-clad persons distributing chocolates. Please come!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
