Since launching in October 2005, In The Flesh has drawn an impressive array of accomplished readers from around the world, including a veritable who’s who of the erotic and sex writing worlds: Laura Antoniou, Mo Beasley, Lily Burana, Jessica Cutler, Stephen Elliott, Valerie Frankel, Polly Frost, Gael Greene, HoneyB (Mary Morrison)Andy Horwitz, Debra Hyde, Maxim Jakubowski, Emily Scarlet Kramer of CAKE, Josh Kilmer-Purcell, Edith Layton, Logan Levkoff, Suzanne Portnoy, Sofia Quintero, M.J. Rose, Lauren Sanders, Susan Shapiro, Danyel Smith, Grant Stoddard, Cecilia Tan, Carol Taylor, Dana Vachon, Veronica Vera, Susan Wright, and Zane.
The series has drawn praise from Dr. Ruth (“Take these sexy tales home and let your imaginations loose during your own read-along for two while you and your partner share your wildest sexual fantasies. This is one event that will literally knock your socks off.”), Flavorpill (“We’re sure Bussel will only be satisfied if you come again and again.”), and the New York Times’ UrbanEye newsletter (“Writer and host Rachel Kramer Bussel welcomes eroticism of all stripes, spots and textures to the Happy Ending lounge on the Lower East Side.”), among other publications. Previous In The Flesh theme nights have included True Sex Confessions, Comic Sex Night, Virgin Night (first-time readers/authors), and Revenge of the Sex Columnists.
“I’m thrilled to be hosting such an impressive lineup of readers, several from out of town (Donna George Storey from Berkeley, California and Fiona Zedde from Atlanta, Georgia) all about one of my favorite topics: oral sex. I love seeing the audience react to our readers; it’s not unusual for couples to go out in the hallway and make out. We have a mix of sensual, sexy, funny and intense stories that appeal to a wide range of listeners,” said Bussel. “Plus, I have an oral fixation myself, so make sure to feed everyone each month with candy, cupcakes, and chips, and give them freebies like erotic books to take home.” Copies of Tasting Him and Tasting Her, headshots and images from previous readings are available upon request. Photos and video from Oral Sex Night will be available the following week. For those unable to attend, mark your calendars the special 3rd anniversary event on November 20th.
