10 Zen Monkeys has an interview with Susie Bright. It was a fun and interesting read -- she seldom disappoints.
Here is the obligatory tease:
The New York Times called Susie Bright “the avatar of American Erotica.” She was co-founder and editor of the first Women’s sex magazine, On Our Backs: Entertainment for the Adventurous Lesbian, from 1984-1991. Since then, she’s written and edited about a zillion books,
and taught many courses on sexuality. Currently, she posts regularly on her own blog. Her audio show, In Bed With Susie Bright, is distributed by Audible.com. She was a sex-scene choreographer and consultant for the Wachowski Brothers’ first film, Bound
, in which she also had a cameo role.
Susie appeared on two consecutive episodes of The RU Sirius Show, primarily to discuss the anthology, The Best American Erotica 2007, which includes stories by Dennis Cooper and the lae Octavia Butler, among many others. (She’s been editing the Erotica series since 1993.) We did, of course, digress quite a bit from the main topic.
As with the audio interview, we are running these text edits in two segments, so stay tuned right here for the second half in about a week.
RU Sirius Show co-host Diana Brown joined me in interviewing Susie Bright about her “Ted Haggard Betting Pool,” teen sex, and other illicit thoughts.

RU SIRIUS: The introduction to The Best American Erotica 2007
is quite an intense little piece. Would you please read a segment from it?
SUSIE BRIGHT: Sure. I called it “The Lolita Backlash.” Every year, the stories in the book tend to magnetize to a certain theme. And this year, it had to do with a rather vicious generation gap.
Read the rest.
