Best Sex Writing 2006
Newman, Felice and Frederique Delacoste, eds.
Cleis Press
This series is the perfect non-fiction counterpart to the Best
American Erotica series. Each essay is a take on sex as it
happens in today's culture — from New York teenage girls frequenting
nightclubs to writer musing on what her time in Porn Valley meant for
her to what today's abstinence only sex ed is doing to our teenagers —
and the result is an eclectic, but fascinating, book. We laughed at
some, shuddered at others, but overall it's just a great, provocative
read. (2006, 197 pp.)

Best Sex Writing 2008
Bussel, Rachel Kramer (editor)
Cleis Press
Sure, we all like having sex, but the true secret we're all
keeping is that we're all really into thinking, reading, and talking
about sex, too. So much of the world revolves around, relates to or
relies upon sexuality, and if you don't think so, you should definitely
give this book a read (and if you agree, you'll find lots of fascinating
examples to entertain and enrich you here). Best Sex Writing of
2008 is a collection of essays and personal accounts that touch
on, examine, pick at or mock today's sex culture. From hilarious essays
on whether Jewish women really give the best blowjobs, to inspiring
essays on sex rehab for spinal cord injuries, to truly disturbing (of
the "I cannot look away" type) about menstrual blood (porn's last
taboo!), this is an eclectic, but fascinating, book. Don't miss the
provacative essay "Sex in Iran" by Pari Esfandiari and Richard Buskin,
which examines how a celebrity sex tape released in that culture is
changing the way that fundamentalist Islamic society views female
pleasure. With offerings from Greta Christina, Violet Blue, Tristan
Taormino, Lux Nightmare, Trixie Fontaine, and many more, this is book
smart, fun to read and stimulating for your mind. (2008, 208
pp.)
