I keep a book called How to Write Erotica on my shelf next to my other reference books about grammar and proper citation rules, because the glossary is a never-ending source of knowledge. Like, did you know that three or more people constitute an orgy? Or that a House of assignation is a predecessor to a motel with hourly rates? The rest of the book is a bit dated; the author completely dismisses the idea of a market for transsexual erotica. But I gathered one main point from its advice and examples: writing good erotica is really fucking hard (pun intended).

Luckily, with New York being a huge city, there are enough talented writers to have an entire reading series of erotica stories. In the Flesh happens every third Thursday of the month at Happy Endings, and asks readers to share an erotic story surrounding a similar theme. Tomorrow night’s theme is perfect for an August evening: summer sex and sex on the beach. And as a bonus there will be free cupcakes from Baked by Melissa and a chance to win one of four waterproof vibrators from EdenFantasys! Happy Endings hasn’t been this hot since you could actually get a happy ending there!

Kiley E - Ragamuffin Researcher

After years of denial, Kiley has finally admitted to baring a striking resemblance to Velma from Scooby Doo. Instead of traveling in a van hunting ghosts, she prefers wandering on foot in search of tacos, cheap beer, and fake birds. Growing up in Portland, Kiley enjoyed the balance of urban and green spaces. Then she spent her four years at Ithaca College, and found herself craving more sprawling asphalt in her life. So she moved to Williamsburg, Brooklyn, where most of the buildings look like they're about to collapse. Kiley's favorite activities include: getting lost, crafting, sewing, biking, and geeking out at museums. Her love of taxidermy probably makes her a terrible vegetarian, but she doesn't care.
