Comedian Margaret Cho to Moderate a Special #SexTalkTuesday on Monday January 5th
Groundbreaking comedian and actress Margaret Cho is slated to serve as special guest moderator of #SexTalkTuesday on Monday January 5 at 4:45 EST, the Twitter-based show announced today.
“Margaret is in every way an ideal person to lead a #SexTalkTuesday discussion,” said Angie Rowntree, owner of Sssh.com and producer of #SexTalkTuesday. “She’s incredibly witty, candid, brave, outgoing and very experienced in speaking frankly about subjects a lot of other people would rather avoid.”
According to the New York Times, "Margaret Cho has performed at Madison Square Garden and Carnegie Hall, and much of her comedy is so profanely unprintable that any attempt at paraphrasing would not do it justice. Starting in January, Ms. Cho will co-host a show on the TLC channel called All About Sex [premieres Saturday January 10 at 11 p.m.], a title that conveys some of her brand of humor."
“Talking about sex has been central to Margaret’s comedy and social commentary,” Rowntree said. “We’re honored to have her bring her insight and wit to #SexTalkTuesday.
A prolific performer with a long history of critically acclaimed work covering everything from books and stand-up comedy specials to her one-woman off Broadway show I’m The One That I Want (later made into a best-selling book and feature film by the same name), Cho received a Comedy Album of the Year Grammy nomination in 2012 for her album Cho Dependent.
A fun and provocative Twitter-based chat, #SexTalkTuesday is hosted and produced by Sssh.com, the web’s premier erotic site for women and couples. During each show, a guest moderator asks thought-provoking questions to a large and active group of participants. The result is a lively and entertaining discussion that invites participants to be open and candid with their thoughts and opinions on sex, life, love and the humor of it all, in a way that fosters a supportive and compassionate environment for the conversation.
To join the discussion, go to twitter.com and use the #SexTalkTuesday hash tag during the show. Please remember SexTalkTuesday will be at a special day and time: Monday January 5 starting at 4:45 pm EST.

'The Master of O' by Ernest Greene #TheStoryOfO #Erotica
In Ernest Greene’s incendiary update of the great erotic classic, Steven Diamond is an ace L.A. criminal lawyer with a roster of A-list clients affording him a life of lavish indulgence. A polished dominant with skills to match his appetites, he’s the silent partner in a highly exclusive club for connoisseurs of feminine submission. Exquisitely beautiful, rigorously trained sex slaves from all over the world await the opportunity to serve him. He seems to want for nothing.
His orderly world is turned upside down, however, when his younger half-brother Ray, publisher of a slick kink-sex magazine, gifts him with the irresistible and enigmatic O. She’s an accomplished photographer, sophisticated fetishist and passionate seeker of a master worthy of her total surrender.
Captivated, Steven is determined to possess her totally at whatever cost, little knowing how dear that cost might be.
Set against the grit and glamour of modern Los Angeles, these three people and the colorful characters in their orbits act out a dramatic tale of erotic power at once familiar and exotic.
I welcome you to their distinctly modern world with all its dark delights, shocking revelations and hidden challenges as seen for the first time from a dominant man’s perspective.
"For me, reading Master of O evoked old feelings and also stirred new ones. The story has the quality of lived experience, elegantly yet explicitly capturing the way a certain elite likes to play. Modern erotica seems to have recently piqued interest of the mainstream, but Master of O keeps its promises!"
– Dita Von Teese, author of Your Beauty Mark
"Sexy, decadent, powerful and fun - exactly what you want in a date and in a book!"
– Margaret Cho – Author of I’m the One I Want
“Master of O has teeth. Just be careful where it bites ... If Anne Desclos, Dashiell Hammett, and Henry Miller had a threeway, this would be the product.”
– Zac Unterman, Producer of Ted
"Ernest Greene's The Master of O is more than a welcome snapshot of a side of the sexual spectrum we never see; it's a dense, poignant, and often hilarious document of a dark world full of collars, snaps, cinches, creases, ornamentation, red marks, and things that need to be just so. It is also brutally erotic. The California Stephen Diamond, Esq. and the intriguing O inhabit is our California, just 50 shades sexier."
– Author of A Porn Valley Odyssey: Making "The Facts of Life XXX”
"A master work from a true Master. Relentlessly authentic and red hot in its eros."
- Howie Gordon . . . aka Richard Pacheco, Author of Hindsight
"An opulent, lushly detailed re-imagining of The Story of O set in a chic, contemporary world where secret sexual fantasies and forbidden sensual pleasures draw a beautiful woman to surrender herself completely to one man's erotic mastery."
– Dr. Gloria Brame, author of Different Loving
"In Master of O, Ernest Greene expertly manages a deft balancing act of sacred and profane. If you are looking for a wickedly debauched romp, you will not be disappointed. But look out- it is the truly thoughtful and profound narrative of transformation that will sneak up from behind and hold you captive!"
-Jillian Lauren, NY Times bestselling author of Some Girls: My Life in a Harem
"My wife left this book 'lying around.' Now she is in big trouble. Ernest Greene rocks. Hard."
– Scott Shriner, bassist for the band Weezer
"This is The Story of O for the new millennium. Brash, crass, terribly hip and framed in decadence and a fierce, in-your-face passion for fetish. An epic saga of desire so powerful it consumes the hearts and minds so elegantly hidden beneath designer names, fantastic settings and couture kink."
– Laura Antoniou, author, The Marketplace
"Ernest Greene was put on earth to write Master of O. Reading this erotic noir is like rediscovering Mickey Spillane and the entire oeuvre of Grove Press in one sitting. Greene insightfully captures the psychic mysteries of S+M longing in this super-hip and trenchant thriller. His characters are superbly drawn and achingly sexual. Master of O is an astonishing novel. Why haven’t we heard of Greene before this? He is a master storyteller."
– Mel Gordon, author of Voluptuous Panic: The Erotic World of Weimar Berlin
"Ira Levine’s long, loving riff on the most significant sexy book of all time is the real deal—gripping and pervy, knowing and witty, sexy and moving. If The Story of O played out today, here’s what the other side of that classic tale would look like: brainy and literate, scarily observant of the details of the kinky LA good life, where exotic furs are faux, whips are Jay Marston, flight attendants wear translucent blue latex, and the power-trappings of masculine dress finally get the fetish stylist they deserve. Read it for the dead smart vocabulary and cryptic Jethro Tull reference, or read it for the hot, hot characters and the searing sex—but read it!"
—Carol Queen, PhD, Author of The Leather Daddy + the Femme, Co-founder, The Center for Sex + Culture
"Ernest Greene’s Master of O masters the reality of life in a dominant/submissive relationship. Written from the inside of the BDSM culture, Master of O is infused with hot sex, laced with pleasure and desire, sadism and masochism and sprinkled liberally with some fictional mystery dust. The delicious result takes the reader into the minds of both dominants and submissives in a way only someone with intimate knowledge of the real world of BDSM can accomplish. Other books are fiction with a dose of fictional BDSM. This is the real thing with a small smattering of fiction. I highly recommend this book to anyone who isn’t satisfied with fifty shades of anything and wants to get the full 100%!"

Going Down? II (Ladies' Night)
Here is where the blog takes a 180 degree turn, from two posts about children's books to one that's strictly for grown-ups.
In September I read Violet Blue's The Ultimate Guide to Fellatio:How to Go Down on a Man and Give Him Mind-Blowing Pleasure. The other day a little package arrived for me from Cleis Press. This time, it contained Blue's The Ultimate Guide to Cunnilingus: How to Go Down on a Woman and Give Her Exquisite Pleasure.
By the way, which is better--exquisite or mind-blowing?
The foreword by Margaret Cho begins with "Pussy is a wondrous mystery." Vaginas and vulvas are a mystery, but Violet Blue does her best to educate the carpet-licking public. Her introduction is as enlightening as her men's guide intro was. It's sad in a way that years after the first production of The Vagina Monologues, we're still living in a "pussyphobic" culture, but Blue is right.
As in the guide to men's pleasure, there are line drawings. They're fun, though they neglect genital piercings, unlike the male-centered guide. Neither illustrations nor text are heterosexist, so lesbian and bisexual women can enjoy it just as much as straight women. There is also a chapter for women with disabilities. Sidebars on how not to muss your lipstick and what to do with a tongue piercing are fun, and again, Alison Tyler contributes short erotic fantasies to the nonfiction.
The chapters are yummy and informative, but the best part may be the resource guide at the end, updated for the second edition. It tells you where to buy woman-positive and sex-friendly supplies in the U.S., Canada and Europe.
If you're a woman with a partner who's reluctant to go down on you, buy your boyfriend/girlfriend this little volume. It'll open up her/his eyes to the possibilities and deal with all the concerns people usually have about "going down there."
