Not nearly enough! In 1996, visionary Adrienne Benedicks hooked up and plugged into the internet and discovered that while there was loads of porn on the World Wide Web, there wasn't much GOOD porn.
Okay, she decided. If I can't find any, I'll put some up myself.
Thus was the Erotica Readers And Writers Assocation born, the most high-class, most sophisticated, most intelligent, most raunchy, most smutty, most dirty, most bear-down-fuck-your-brains-out kickass website for quality porn (excuse me...erotica) on the internet.
After ten years of asking for and delivering the most high-quality literary and non-literary smut on the internet, Adrienne decided it was time to expose the print world to what the rest of us have discovered. The ERWA is home to some damn good writers, and it's time to put some of their work onto the printed page.
Thus was CREAM, The Best Of The Erotica Readers And Writers Association born. With the indispensible help of Lisabet Sarai, literary smut writer and editor extraordinaire, (may her red-ink pen never run dry), Adrienne sifted through the ERWA vaults for some, (not all....there are only so many trees to devote to the cause) of the website's best works, and CREAM is the result.
One of the most entertaining elements of this book is the diversity of the writing, and of the smut contained within its pages. The exotic elegance of Lisabet Sarai's "Mad Dogs," the culturally uplifting kink of Cervo's "An Evening at Katzenspieler's," the darkly noirish "What Was Lost" by Robert Buckley, the just plain hot "Challenger Deep" by Kathleen Bradean...I could go on and on.
Suffice it to say, part of the problem with erotica is the stereotype that erotic writing has to be crap. CREAM is proof positive that it's not. If you haven't done so yet, check out the Erotica Readers And Writers Association here. If you haven't yet picked up CREAM, it's still on sale at Borders and other fine bookstores, or you can go to Amazon here.
Well worth your time.
