Very popular book fetish erotica - listen free now on Rose Caraway's podcast!

I am a very proud editor today upon seeing that the free podcast with "Book Lover" by Donna George Storey, from my favorite of my anthologies, The Big Book of Orgasms: 69 Sexy Stories, is #6 on iTunes' sexuality charts, behind Dan Savage and Sex Nerd Sandra! It's all due to the genius of podcaster and audiobook narrator extraordinaire Rose Caraway, who I wish I could work with on every audiobook because she simply is excellent at her job, both her sexy narration and bringing audio erotica to the masses. I don't know how she does it but I'm thrilled! She's got 68 more hot flash fiction erotica stories for you in The Big Book of Orgasms audiobook. You can listen to more of her by subscribing to her podcast The Kiss Me Quick's on iTunes, and get another The Big Book of Orgasms freebie with "Pushing Boundaries on Public Transport" by Victoria Blisse. Also through April 30th you can get the Gotta Have It: 69 Stories of Sudden Sex audiobook for only $3.99 when you buy the Kindle edition for $1.99. More from me and Rose very soon too!

This is what book fetish erotica looks like

Would you sniff a book? Lick a book? Take a bite out of one? One of those happens in book fetish erotica story "Book Lover" by Donna George Storey, which you can now listen to for free at Rose Caraway's podcast The Kiss Me Quick's. Another freebie podcast listen is "Pushing Boundaries on Public Transport" by Victoria Blisse and for 69 stories, including those, listen to The Big Book of Orgasms: 69 Sexy Stories audiobook narrated by Rose Caraway. I love so many things about this story, but most especially that it highlights a fetish that's a bit unusual and makes it seem plausible, whether you've ever wanted to get that intimate with a book or not. It's sexy and a little funny and creative and features a fetish being shared by lovers. It's everything I look for in an erotica story and I'm so glad you can now listen to it for free. You can also subscribe to the podcast in iTunes so you don't miss any episodes.

My dishwashing fetish story "Doing the Dishes," podcasted

Thank you to the amazing and wonderful Rose Caraway, narrator of the Gotta Have It audiobook, for bringing my story "Doing the Dishes" to life in podcast form, free! This is a favorite story of mine and one I'm definitely including in my first erotic short story collection, to be published by Cleis Press.

Fishnet fetish

Alison Tyler reminded me of a story I wrote for her book F Is for Fetish called "Fishnet Queen." Here's an excerpt, and see her blog for more fetishy goodness:

First thing I see are her legs, clad in the kind of stockings that make me hard just by thinking about them: fishnets. Her legs are long, and in her mini skirt, which rides up her thigh, I can see her pale skin augmented by the tightly woven black pattern that seems made just for her. She doesn’t just wear the fishnets, she owns them. I've seen women try to rock fishnets who simply can't pull them off, who wear them as if they were any other kind of stockings, tugged on hastily during a rushed morning, ripped in spots, slammed into sneakers, used and abused in the most careless manner possible.

There should be some kind of test when purchasing such delicate garments, I think, like an ID for cigarettes, but in all things fishnet, the test should be for class. I can always tell when a woman really cares about her fishnets, when she's the type who shakes them out before holding open the hole and sliding her foot into it, aware of every nuance of sensuality involved. I can tell when she makes sure that the seam up the back is perfectly even, forming a straight line right up to her ass, one I love to trace with my tongue, when she cares enough to buy the kind that have a seam. I can tell when the mere act of donning a pair of fishnets sends a rush of blood to her clit, when she morphs from gorgeous to goddess in the act, when she lets them transport her from ordinary to sex goddess. The rest of her outfit doesn’t really matter, nor how tall or short she is; a woman who wears fishnets like they’re her birthright is the kind I want to fuck, the kind whose fishnets I want to kiss and stroke and caress before ultimately peeling them down and plunging my cock inside her. Fishnet girls are all about foreplay, leaving me on the edge of arousal for as long as we both can stand it. That's the kind of woman I look for, who wears her fishnets not simply as artifice or armor but amour, who steps into her dominance one foot at a time.

What's funny is that while I remember in some way all the stories I've written (I think I'm probably up to 100 or so by now, will have to count at some point), I don't always remember the details of the content, but I remember other things. I wrote most of this story at the Starbucks on Delancey on the Lower East Side. I remember where I was sitting, remember thinking the story was too outlandish and over-the-top in its fetishism to work. I tend to gravitate toward the places where a piece of writing clicked, hoping I can pull it off again. Sometimes it even works!

YourTango wants your fetishes

YourTango editor Nicole Perri asked me to pass this on. The pieces will be paid but you'll have to talk to Nicole about the specifics of that.

Call for submissions

Do you have a fetish? YourTango is looking for personal essays from people with sexual fixations on objects, ideas or body parts. We want to get inside your head and learn what you think and feel about your proclivity and how it affects your relationships.

Your preference can be common or unknown—cross-dressing, erotic asphyxiation, plushies, pony play, etc—all are welcome. You can be an intense fetishist—you need to incorporate your preference into every sex act in order to experience pleasure—or someone who enjoys the activity but doesn't require it for pleasure.

We're not looking for erotic writing or graphic descriptions of what goes on in your bedroom, although the essay will probably need an overview of how a particular preference works. Instead, we want to understand the psychology behind your desire.

Some questions to get you started:

When did you discover you had this preference? How did you begin to incorporate into your sex life? When did you first suggest it to a partner, and how did that person react? If you're single and dating, how do you introduce the idea to a new lover? If you're married or in a long-term relationship, how have you incorporated it into your sex life? Has the fetish ever caused disagreements or fights between you and a partner? Has it brought you closer to someone? What are your emotions surrounding your fetish? Would your love life be different if you didn't have this preference?

We also welcome pitches from fetish newbies or one-timers—you don't need to be a knowledgeable insider to tell an insightful, interesting story. Write about doing something you'd always thought about but had never tried, or the time a date asked you for a sex act you'd never heard of, or attempting a wacky idea with your partner just for the heck of it. Did you like it, or decide it wasn't for you? What did you think and feel before, during and after the act? How did you talk about it with your partner? Did it bring you closer together or further apart, or neither? Did you learn anything from the experience?

Send pitches to Nicole Perri, Nicole@yourtango.com. Thanks!
