A golden shower in the shower and Flavorwire wants you to read Women in Lust

I edit the weekly Sex Diaries at Daily Intel, and am always on the lookout for outspoken anonymous literary exhibitionist types to write one (yes, it pays). If you're interested, email me at sexdiaries at nymag.com and tell me why you'd make a good diarist - you don't have to be in NYC and definitely don't have to be a writer (I'd actually love to see some offbeat professions in the diaries, if you know anyone who'd fit the bill).

This week's diary is "The Publicist Whose Breasts Are the Perfect Size to Be Peed On" and last week's was "The Lesbian Whose Dreams Are Much Dirtier Than Her Sex Life".

And a lovely boost for my book Women in Lust, the one with the hottest of my 40+ covers, in my opinion, a plug from Flavorwire on their list of "10 Risqué Books Worth Buying a Kindle to Read". They say:

Women in Lust is a kind of celebration of female sexuality. The twenty short pieces of erotica revolve around the theme of (you guessed it) lust, and the boundaries it allows people to cross. Being an anthology, it offers a little bit of everything (including romance), but the book definitely leans toward the submissive hetero female, à la Anastasia Steele from Fifty Shades of Grey. Just so you know what you’re getting into.

Great interview with me about In The Flesh at Flavorwire

I love this interview Mandy Van Deven did with me over at Flavorwire about In The Flesh called "The Mouth is the Hottest Part of the Body." Complete with video and everything. Do check it out (and if you like it, please rate it at the bottom).

FP: So sex sells and all, but what do you think draws people to the event?

RKB: I bring a lot of food! (Laughs.) Chips, cookies, candy, and cupcakes. I’m the founder and co-editor of the cupcake blog Cupcakes Take the Cake, and am also one of those people who never shows up to a party empty-handed. I go to Trader Joe’s every month and stock up on snacks galore, plus now we have mini cupcakes from Baked by Melissa. I think food, especially chocolate, is sexy — so they go together. It’s also part of the whole throwing-a-party vibe.

We also have giveaways every month, like the game Sexy Slang or a gift basket from Good Vibrations. I wish I could give everyone a goodie bag to take home, but I try to feed them and give out prizes so they walk away with something more than just the stories they’ve heard — and hopefully want to return.

Oh, and everything is free! Having the event be free is very important to me. I wouldn’t feel comfortable charging money for people to hear me read, and if people show up and aren’t into it, they can leave without having lost anything.
