Queer/Kinky/Erotic Media for 2025
Nov. 13th, 2024 09:21 pmRogan: Hey, so, a friend was asking for recommendations on erotic work to stockpile and activated my amateur semi-library tendencies. And I wrote off so many I thought I should make a post about it. All of these are available in hard copy, or at least WERE. (Making this list made me realize how many had gone out of print... lament.)
Feel free to ask if you want specific kinks or themes! Leave your own recommendations in the comments! Anon comments are turned on!
( Hey kid, wanna buy a horny comic? *opens trenchcoat, displaying countless pockets filled with books* )

Mac: When we went to the Brattle Bookstore with ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
nevanna, we found a gem: The Playbook for Men - About Sex by Joani Blank (AKA the founder of Good Vibrations). It's a little 23 page sex-ed workbook/pamphlet/zine thing that's almost fifty years old and really good! Definitely making me feel inspired for Multi Orgasmic 2! (AKA Multi Moregasmic!)
Joani Blank made three of these workbooks: one for women, one for men, and one for children. Only the one for children has ever been digitized, and she did it herself after Down There Press, which she founded, got sold off to someone else who took all her stuff out of print. Now you can only get them secondhand for like $45 on Amazon.
Our own copy is this beautifully handlettered work of art, and still holds its own today. Basically every sex ed manual we've encountered since owes a debt to these. We feel like a lot of people would find it handy today, so we digitized it. (It's not screenreadable. That's a problem for Future LB.)
Ms. Blank died a few years back, and these zines look to be impossible to find, so we hope this means you can print out copies for yourself to use! Keep her memory alive!

Sex With Noncorporeal Beings: A Pleasure Pie Sex Salon Talk
Summary: “By placing it into the hands of physicians, spirit sex is relegated to the status of a disease that must be cured. […] by regarding sex with spirits as a psychological disorder of the mind, it can be dismissed as a mere fantasy or illusion, probably induced by some childhood trauma, that has no value to or significance in the so-called real world. The view is that once a person who is under the ‘illusion’ that he or she is having sex with a spirit has been successfully counseled, the aberrant notion will simply fade away like a forgotten dream.” (Tyson, 25)
Series: Essay (sorta)
Word Count: 3000ish
Notes: Rough transcription and expansion of a talk I gave for the Pleasure Pie Sex Salon in November 2023; it was the blow-out winner of the writing poll! Mentions of psychiatric abuse, exorcism, rape, violence, harassment, negative side effects of tantric training, and suicide. Despite all that, this is a happy essay.
Hello! We are Rogan and Mac of LB Lee. We are multi (multiple personalities by popular parlance), we’ve been together since 2007, and we’ve been making comics about it since 2008!
Pretty quickly in, we realized that people had no idea how we have sex, and there was no way for them to learn, asides from asking us rude, intrusive questions. There were no books, no pamphlets, no guides—even the Internet barely mentioned such things, except as “this happens” and “what a freak show!” So we started making works like Alter Boys In Love (2010-2017) and Multi, Orgasmic (2022). But this is a live talk, not a comic, so let’s get into the nuts and bolts: what, exactly, do you do with a noncorporeal partner?
( This is a text-only medium so you just have to imagine us waggling our eyebrows. )
Mac: while reading a book about a sex educator who married a spirit in the 1890s, I came across the wildest thing: apparently one of the damn reasons people were so against touching clits (including this woman) was because IT MADE YOU GAY. (Or, as they called it at the time, "homogenic." Genic multis take note.)

Queer Pride, Kinky Joy
Summary: Our experience at our first kinky play party. NSFW.
Series: Personal story
Word Count: 3800
Notes: This story was paid for by our generous Patreon supporters and originally made for a sexual assault survivors’ sexuality anthology that seems to have disappeared. Contains explicit sexual and BDSM content, all consensual: fetish wear, puppy play, D/S, Daddy/boy play, butt plugs, three ways, and sex toys. Also glancing mention of sexual assault, but this is a happy story. This story is also part of our prep work for the forthcoming Multi, MOREgasmic.
My husband Mac held up the tight black booty shorts and waggled his eyebrows.
“Oh nooo,” I said.
“Oh yesss,” he replied with a wicked grin.
( Considering the political climate, I felt like going public with this. When the box is suffocatingly small, you kick out a wall. )

Rogan: It is a source of great satisfaction to me that two of my titles have ended up on Goodreads and they're Alter Boys In Love and Multi, Orgasmic.
Yes! YES! Remember me for my happy cuddles'n'dicks work, Internet! Remember me for that! Help me laugh in the face of the idea that the only meaningful creative work that a multi can make is about suffering! Ahahahaha!
(Seriously, I get such pleasure that Multi, Orgasmic has only been out for six months and has already become my of-all-time #2 ebook seller, far and away outstripping all the rest except for All in the Family, which has been out for years, got a huge hit boost because it was the main feature of that Vulture article about me a few years back and also had a Kickstarter behind it. My #3 ebook bestseller has a third the sales that Multi, Orgasmic does, and AllFam is only ~20 copies ahead, despite its long lead time.)
(Then again, Multi, Orgasmic sells like garbage on paper. Certain books, I've learned, just sell way better in paper or as ebooks specifically. I have not yet figured out the criteria of what makes or breaks each category.)
