  • Love And Sex With Robots
    2022/11/13

    And there you have it. Just a taste of this episode of Dirty Poetry,

    using the word poetry very loosely, of course. Stay with me for all

    the rest.


    The title of this episode of Dirty

    Poetry - Love and Sex With Robots is intended to commemorate the

    annual research conference of the same name, Love and Sex With

    Robots. Recent advances in electromechanics, artificial intelligence,

    speech recognition technology, have changed the nature of our

    relationships to our non human, digital entities. This changing

    relationship has raised an entirely new set of questions, that have

    in turn, created a whole new field of research. Every year,

    researchers and technologists come together in the month of November

    to talk about these new questions at the annual Love and Sex With

    Robots research conference. Some of them are entirely new questions

    that we never thought to ask before. Others are old questions that

    now have a newfound importance. Questions like, what does it mean to

    give and receive pleasure? And what balance do we as humans need

    between the two? Our next story examines just that question. Let's

    take a listen.


    All Dolled Up written by Shawna Hunter


    That was All Dolled Up written by Shawna

    Hunter. Shawna Hunter is Canadian from Toronto. Her greatest passion

    is BDSM. Interrupted only by her passion for writing erotic short

    stories. All Dolled Up is from the erotic short story anthology Love

    Taps. Published 2020, in print and available at Dirty Poets

    Bookstore.


    We live in a time when digital

    assistants have become ubiquitous. If you don’t have a Siri or

    Alexa digital assistant, you probably know someone who does. There

    has been a wave of recent advances in artificial intelligence and

    speech technology. Among other things, this will soon allow digital

    entities to judge your mood from your vocal inflection and delivery,

    and to respond accordingly. Our digital assistants will soon become

    full fledged digital companions. Couple that with recent advances in

    robotics and electromechanics, it becomes possible that for many of

    us, our digital companions will be embodied as android companions.

    This raises all the questions of the human relationship to our non

    human companions to a whole new level of importance.


    As fascinating as all these new

    developments are, we should recognize that human erotic fascination

    and sexual arousal with machines is not new. For example, Washington

    state in the US, a man named Edward Smith says that he has had sex

    with hundreds of automobiles. Yes, full copulatory sex with hundreds

    of automobiles, a few airplanes and even a helicopter. Not to be

    concerned though, he has settled down to the quiet domestic life in a

    committed, age appropriate relationship with a 1968 Volkswagen Beetle

    that he calls the love of his life. And, there are a whole series of

    other stories very much like that. Human sexual fascination with

    machines has been in the popular culture for a long time. And as

    recently as 2021, when the movie Titane received a controversial

    award at the Cannes Film festival. Titane is in part, the story of a

    woman impregnated by a Cadillac. She lactates a high viscosity motor

    oil. And who can forget when Carmen Diaz had sex with a Ferrari in

    the 2013 movie The Counselor written by Cormac McCarthy. Those of us

    who go back far enough to remember 1996 will remember the blazingly

    erotic movie, entitled “Crash” starring James Spader and Holly

    Hunter. That also received a very controversial award at the Cannes

    Film Festival. The story that movie was based on comes from the 1973

    novel written by J. G. Ballard entitled

  • Libraries And The Goddesses Who Inhabit Them
    2022/10/27

    There you have it, the beginning of another episode of Dirty Poetry,

    using the word poetry very loosely. This episode is couple of

    stories about libraries and librarians. Before we get to the

    goddesses who bring life to these hallowed halls, let’s give some

    credit to the students and researchers who find their adventures back

    in the stacks. Our first story is about a grad student who, in a haze

    of exhaustion, discovers what she is really looking for.

    Between The Pages by Z.S. Roe


    That was Between The Pages written by Z.S. Roe who describes

    himself as a book lover, a tea addict and by trade, a glass worker.

    Z.S. Row is primarily a poet but nevertheless has 10 published short

    stories, the latest being what Grew Before the Sun, which was

    published in the Big Book of Orgasms, Volume 2 that came out in 2022.


    For many of us who came from a time before there was an internet,

    libraries were our window on the world. Like diving into an ocean,

    there was always so much more to explore. They were all, large and

    small, places that were cherished and revered. They were, and are,

    populated by brilliant women. Brilliant women who work so hard at

    being contained and proper. But to my eye, they are goddesses who

    bring life to hallowed halls. And they are always so much more a

    woman than their work allows them to be.


    When I was young, I would travel to one of the great libraries,

    sometimes several hours on a bus. There were statues by famous

    artists at the entrance and great art hung in the halls. The main

    reading room was huge, long and cavernous with a high arched and

    vaulted ceiling. As you entered there was the scent of old books with

    the promise of ancient knowledge for those who would dig. All of it,

    free to the people. It was a hallowed and solemn place.


    For a time, I would go there every week or two. The subject I was

    interested in those days was propulsion units. This caught the

    attention of a particular research librarian who set herself on the

    hunt for me. I would stop by her desk to pick up her list of

    references and the bundle of photocopies she had collected for me

    from the latest journals and sometimes even restricted government

    research. She was brilliant. And beautiful. When there was occasion

    to come around the desk, I could catch the faint flowery springtime

    perfume of my librarian mingled with the scent of fresh photocopies

    copies on her desk. All of that with the bassnote of old books and

    leather that permeated the place. Those memories have not faded.


    I do have a confession though, it was not until very recently that

    I realized that I am not the only one who has fantasies of the

    Goddesses who inhabit libraries. I’m not the only one who thinks

    intelligent women are sexy. Who knew? Joe Cocker sings ‘you can

    leave your hat on’. Well, as far as I'm concerned, you can leave

    your glasses on too. No doubt, the libraries were where my

    fascination with intelligent women began.


    And speaking of intelligent, interesting women. Our next story is

    written by Susannah Indigo. Susanna Indigo is a character in her own

    right. She is, and has been for many years, a very active and

    prolific erotic short story author. She has edited many erotic short

    story anthologies. She founded in 1998 the erotic literary journal

    Clean Sheets, which, in it’s day, was a home to many great erotic

    writers. She has since co-founded and is currently an editor at Slow

    Trains, a general literary journal that covers a wide range of

    subjects. Many of today's greatest writers have found a home there.


    The next story that I have for you, I read years ago and it...

  • Shopkeeper Sex
    2022/10/12

    Stay

    with me for this episode of Dirty Poetry. Go ahead. Take it all. The

    whole enchilada.

    This episode of Dirty Poetry is about shopkeepers who happen to be

    big women. Women like sex. Big women like sex. Let's see how that all

    turns out. Let's give a listen to our first story.


    Small Packages by Tenille Brown


    That story, Small Packages was written by Tenille Brown, who

    describes herself as a shoe shopping, wine drinking southern writer.

    She is an author of erotic short stories who has been at her trade

    for quite some time. She's been published in over 30 different erotic

    story anthologies among them Fast Girls, Making The Hookup, Best

    Bondage Erotica, F Is For Fetish, and the anthology that our stories

    in this episode come from, which is entitled Curvy Girls edited by

    Rachel Kramer Bustle.


    Ms Bustle has edited over 30 erotic story anthologies. Her erotic

    short story writing has been published in over 100 anthologies. She's

    been an editor at Penthouse on television appearances, and had

    regular magazine columns. Our Curvy Girls anthology comes to us from

    a name that you probably recognize Rachel Kramer bustle




    In this anthology, Curvy Girls, she asked April Flores to write

    the forward. In that forward. Ms Flores says, “For the longest time

    we've been told the lie that being thin equals being beautiful, happy

    and desirable. And somewhere along the line we've also been led to

    believe that fat people don't enjoy sex or possibly that we're not

    worthy of enjoying sex.” All right, let's back up a little bit

    here. April Flores is herself a big beautiful woman and, in addition

    to many other things, she is a model and a porn star. In the forward

    to Curvy Girls she says, “Women enjoy sex. Fat women enjoy sex. I

    am one of those women and have had the extreme privilege of being

    able to explore and express my own sexuality within my work. I've

    been able to live out many fantasies while making an effort to send

    my message of body and size positivity. I am an exhibitionist by

    nature and performing in adult films and posing for photographers and

    artists has allowed me to expand on my exhibitionism. I've been so

    lucky as to have been able to broaden my sexuality by working with a

    diverse range of performers who representative variety of races,

    gender identities and levels of experience with each shoot. I have

    learned from my partner and have been able to take away something

    new. In my opinion, confidence is what makes someone attractive. You

    have good sex when you feel good about yourself, regardless of your

    body size. The characters and curvy girls are enjoying every bit of

    their sexuality and I enjoyed experiencing their sexuality too.”

    Amen Sister. Confidence is sexy, and we all want to be sexy.


    The next story in this episode also from the Curvy Girls anthology

    is written by Lolita Lopez. Ms Lopez is actually a serial novelist.

    She generally tells her stories in a series of novels. Her writing

    style is what she describes as super sexy science fiction. Her titles

    include Dead Sexy Dragon, one of the Dragon Heat series, Caught By

    Menace, one of the titles from the Grabbed series, Margaritas and

    Mayhem from the Holiday Menage series. In 2021 she was invited to a

    group writing project with some of today's greatest science fiction

    writers that was published under the title Cyborg Redemption. In this

    episode of Dirty Poetry, Ms Lopez, known to her friends and fans as

    ‘Lo’, has written an erotic short story about a big beautiful

    woman. Lo is a Texas girl and she's written us a sexy short story

    about a shopkeeper in Houston. A baker...

  • Old Friends, New Sex
    2022/02/06

    And there you have it, just a taste of the Dirty Poetry yet to come.

    Stay with me for all the rest of this episode of Dirty Poetry, using

    the word poetry very loosely.

    Our first story is about a group of old

    friends who have known each other for years and years. They've

    traveled together and had adventures and have been a part of each

    others lives for a long time. They know each other well. They have

    for a long time, had a monthly card game. Everything was always

    friendly and normal... until tonight... when things got strange.

    Let's take a listen.

    That was Heads-Up Poker. Written by

    Susan Di Placido. Ms Di Placido is a prolific author. She has, to

    date, published ten novels and one collection of short stories. Her

    stories almost always involve gambling and card playing and many of

    them are set in Las Vegas. But regardless of the setting, Ms Di

    Placido always manages to work in a lot of steamy spicy sex scenes.

    Her work has been recognized and awarded in the literary world. Her

    short story, “I, Candy” won the Spirit Award at the 2005 Moon

    Dance International Film Festival. Her short story collection,

    American Cool won the bronze medal in the 2008 IPPY Awards and it was

    a finalist for the 2008 Indie Book Awards. Her novel Shuffle Up and

    Deal was nominated for the Romantic Times Reviewer's Choice Award for

    Best Erotic Fiction in 2010. Susan Di Placido’s work has been

    published in many places. Among them, Maxim Jakubowski’s Mammoth

    Book Of Best New Erotica in both volume six and volume seven, Zane's

    Caramel Flava, Run Devil Run, Slow Trains Literary Review, Rebellion:

    New Voices Of Fiction, Clean Sheets and Susie Bright’s Best

    American Erotica 2007, which is where we found our story, Heads-Up

    Poker.


    Let's take a moment and address the

    elephant in the room. Okay, one of the elephants in the room. You

    might notice that both of our stories in this episode of Dirty Poetry

    are written by women, one of them decidedly lesbian, but both stories

    are told from the perspective of heterosexual men. This kind of

    gender bending perspective shift is, and always has been, common

    among the authors of erotic literature. As readers and listeners,

    these stories allow us to walk a mile in someone else’s panties.

    And our authors also take an equally joyful turn at that switch. In

    fact, part of the beauty of both erotic literature and our own erotic

    imagination is, that in the privacy of our own minds, we can all

    allow our imaginations, our desires and hungers, to roam freely, to

    venture into places that we would never allow to happen in our real

    lives. With all of our real life expressions of sexuality that are so

    tender, loving, comforting, well... okay, even with the ass slapping,

    hair pulling excitement that we want in our real life sexuality,

    still there are places, many places that our imagination goes that we

    would never allow to see the light of day. Good writers take us to

    these forbidden places and bring us safely back again from the

    adventures of foreign travel in exotic lands. With our own erotic

    fantasies encouraged to take wing, our sexual imaginations are now

    allowed to travel to places that are unlikely, improbable. Places

    that stretch the boundaries of what sexuality is, and occasionally

    even jump the fence into the impossible. Stories that can arouse

    possibilities that we would have never imagined. But somehow they

    become real for us for just a few brilliant moments in the privacy of

    our own minds. It is there, in the privacy of our imagination that we

    can begin to discover our own most primal sexual arousals. It is

    great writers with their wild tales, with their exotic erotic...

  • To Watch And Be Watched, The Voyeur And The Exhibitionist
    2021/10/01

    “They fuck all over the house. And I watch.

    Lynette spreads her legs on the toilet and pees for Clifton. And I watch.

    She sits on his face while he lounges on the couch with an after dinner glass of wine.

    I sit on the adjoining couch. And I only get the wine.

    But I watch.

    I watch, and I stroke myself off into one of the handkerchiefs I purchased the third day”


    and then there is this...



    “This time he reached between his legs and soaped his balls,

    slowly stroking and squeezing them while the soapsuds ran down his leg.

    Lauren moved her foot from the floor and brought it up on the bench next to her,

    while she bent her knee away from her body, opening herself even wider.

    By the time he turned around to face her again she had two fingers buried to the second knuckle.

    Seeing the state of his hard cock, she groaned softly and began to pump her fingers

    in and out of her wet pussy grazing her clit just enough

    to bring her to the edge of coming and keep her there.”



    There you have it. Just a taste of what’s to come

    in this episode of deliciously Dirty Poetry.

    Stay with me for the rest of the episode

    and I'll give you the whole enchilada.


    The theme of this episode is to watch and be watched. The voyeur and the exhibitionist. Our first story is about a possibility that you might not have considered. In today's world, even with our infinite variety of blended families, even with all of our polyamory and our monogamish relationships, and the multitude of a romantic and erotic and domestic arrangements...

    Still... perhaps you might not have considered the possibility of the live-in voyeur.


    You'll discover that uncommon arrangement in “Making Myself At Home”, the first story in this episode of Dirty Poetry. This flight of fancy, this ingenious invention, is a product of the soaring mind of the author, Jeremy Edwards.

    Jeremy Edwards is the author of what he calls the erotocomedic novels, "The Pleasure Dial" and "Rock My Socks Off" along with the erotic short story collection "Sparked My Moment”.

    His stories have appeared in over 50 short story anthologies, including several volumes in the Mammoth Book of Best New Erotica series. The editor of the Mammoth Book erotica series, Maxim Jakubowski says:

    “Jeremy Edwards leads the pack of a new scintillating generation of American erotica writers who combine wit and sexiness in equal parts”.


    Both of our stories do come from the volume in that series that is entitled “The Mammoth Book Of Quick And Dirty Erotica”, an anthology of very short erotic stories edited by Maxim Jakubowski.


    Our second author is an experienced craftsperson in the world of erotic writing. D. L. King has written short stories that have appeared in over 75 different anthologies. Among them, “Best Women's Erotica”, “Best Lesbian Erotica”, “Girl Crazy”, “Frenzy”, “Yes, Ma'am”, “Yes, sir.”, and “The Mammoth Book Of Best New Erotica” from our own editor, Maxim Jakubowski.


    In addition, D. L. King has edited 13 anthologies of short stories herself. Among them, “The Harder She Comes, Butch Fem Erotica”. That one was the winner of the Lambda Literary Award and the Independent Publishers Gold Medal.

    D.L. King lives in New York City.


    The exhibitionist and the voyeur depend on each other for their stimulation. One needs the other and many of us have both the urge to watch and to be watched balanced in us. Many of us can switch from one to the other.


    Our second story, “Her Turn”, is a tale of one of those situations that turned from the watched to the watcher.


    Give this episode of Dirty Poetry a listen.

  • A Life Of Seductions
    2021/08/20

    The reading in this episode of Dirty Poetry is entitled “A Life Of Seductions” written by Nancy Sasha Long. This is an erotic short story that appeared in the anthology Seductions, Tales Of Erotic Persuasions edited by Dr Lonnie Barbach. Our editor, the good Dr Barbach has this to say in the introduction;

    “When I think about the most erotic moments of a sexual experience, I am drawn to the delicious and unpredictable build up, the dance of seduction.
    A sexual experience often lodges in the memory most vividly because of the events that led up to the actual physical lovemaking.
    The invitation to sensually, provocatively play, the anticipation of an experience charged with pleasure and delight.
    Consequently, I have gathered a collection of stories that emphasis these openings, stories that set the stage for the sexual encounters that follow.
    Seduction is the kindling of romance. It ignites the spark of sexual desire and intensity.
    Unfortunately, the art of seduction becomes a lost art in many long term monogamous relationships, although it is usually an important part of nearly every courtship.
    This is a tragic loss because in its absence, relationships can become deprived of sexual liveliness and passion.
    The connection becomes humdrum, The mundane creeps in and the relationship is diminished.
    The word seduction comes from the latin term meaning to lead away. In every seduction, some psychological or emotional resistance is implied and must be overcome.
    The resistance may be something as simple as the preoccupation and routines of everyday life, or it may be as complex as a romantic involvement with another.
    In either case, one person begins to entice the other, drawing his or her attention away from its current focus and onto a new agenda.
    Yet every seduction is a cooperative venture. Ultimately both partners must be willing to play the escalating erotic game.
    At any point, one person could abdicate or drop out. The seduced could rebuff the seducer’s advances and the interaction would end.
    In humans, romantic pathways are more extensive and complex than in any other species.
    We alone use fantasy and imagination as an important part of our seductive encounter.
    We have the capacity to raise seduction to a form of art though we are still animals.
    Our brains have been programmed to respond to someone that we are attracted to through a physiological chain of events that heightens feelings of pleasure in both the seducer and the one being seduced.
    When someone excites us, our bodies respond with a gush of natural chemicals that stimulate the nervous system, causing us to feel euphoric, energetic and optimistic.
    Our hearts be wildly. We’re turned on and maybe following in love, or at least in lust.
    We may experience a racy sense of exuberance and power at these times, with some creative thoughts and attention.
    An artful seduction can create a surge of natural chemicals even in a relationship of long duration. We never lose our capacity to resurrect these pleasurable experiences.
    It remains with us for our entire lives.”

    Our story tonight is the story of a woman who's fantasies become so constant, so all consuming,
    that she is drawn into dangerous situations in real life and ultimately becomes an entirely different woman because of her fantasies.

    Our editor, Dr Barbach and the author, Nancy Long had this to say about our story;

    “Rather than moving towards someone, the motivation behind some seductions is to escape from a certain set of circumstances.
    When life is depressing or distressing, when a relationship is having difficulties,
    we may find ourselves moving away from a drab or uncomfortable reality, seeking relief through an illicit sexual relationship or seductive daydream.
    We may seduce ourselves with a fantasy and create the perfect lover who will rescue us from the emptiness...

  • Terroir Of Sex, The Good Parts
    2021/08/13

    Exploring how sun and soil, time and place effect the varieties our sexual expression. From electrically charged sex toys to sex inspired by farm animals, despite all of our regional and ethnic differences, we all have that same universal urge to merge.

    Our readings are from "The Good Parts, The Best Erotic Writing In Modern Fiction", an anthology of erotic writings edited by J.H. Blair. This is a collection of short stories and excerpts from most acclaimed and awarded, the very best American literary authors of the last half of the 20th century.

    The first story in this episode is "The Ring Of Brightest Angels Around Heaven", a story that requires an electrostim cockring and buttplug to be told. Written by Rick Moody from Brooklyn New York, who is extensively published with a series of novels. This is the title story from his short story collection.

    Our second story is about sexuality informed by midwestern American farm life and occasionally inspired by farm animals. Our reading is an excerpt from the Pulitzer prize winning novel "A Thousand Acres" written by Jane Smiley from Ames Iowa.

    Dozens of stories from America's finest literary minds, each one exquisitely individual from all the others, and yet every one trying to feed and fulfill the erotic urge that wells up in every one of us.

    Every warm blooded human

    wants to find their way to the glories of sex

    in every city, town, and village on the planet

    humans passionately press themselves together

    to try to make sex

    men and women feverishly rub themselves together

    to try to make sparks

    deep in the night

    under the cover of darkness

    in the broad daylight

    backed up deep into a shady turnoff

    out along some old country road

    as long as women know what they want

    as long as men know where to go

    we will stoke the fires of human sexuality

    in our multitude of ways

    in every space and place

    men and women will live out

    the urge to merge



    Using the word poetry very loosely.
