Hey sex fans, welcome back.968A1383-Edit-2

This here is The Erotic Mind show. And as you probably know, this is the series where I chat with noted erotic artists, both visual and literary, from all over the freakin’ world. Today we turn our attention to the visual end of the artistic spectrum because we are about to meet one of the most talented photographers I have had the pleasure of interviewing. My guest today is Ryan Edward Scott.

If that name is unfamiliar to you, it might be because Ryan calls little attention to himself; he lets his work speak for itself. However, if you know anything about erotic photography you have probably seen his work. And wait till you get a load of the samples he has selected for the slideshow in today’s podcast posting. It is pretty astonishing! Don’t miss it.

Ryan and I discuss:

  • His photography as an outgrowth of his inner life, and how it infuses his personal life;
  • The bearded man;
  • The sensuality of his naturescapes and urbanscapes;
  • Traveling the world looking for his muse;
  • His “day job;”
  • Commissioned work;
  • His super-religious and sexually repressed early life;
  • The beginnings of his photography;
  • Where he finds his models;
  • Shooting in a studio vs. shooting in natural light.

[Look for the podcast play button below.]

Hey sex fans,

We’re BAACK!  It’s a brand new year!  And while I enjoyed my brief respite from podcasting, I’m eager to get back at it.  During the break, these last two weeks, I’ve been busy lining up an amazing array of outstanding guest who will make 2010 a banner year.

We open the new year with yet another addition to The Erotic Mind podcast series.  And speaking of outstanding guests, I have the pleasure of welcoming a true master of the erotic short story and novel, the one and only DL King.

If you know anything about erotica, her name will stand out as a beacon of excellence in the genre.  On top of being a world-class author and editor, DL also publishes an erotica book review site called Erotica Revealed.  But don’t let all these high-faultin’ credentials fool you, because she is brilliantly funny and smutty as all get out.

DL and I discuss:

  • Who is DL King?
  • Her site Erotica Revealed.
  • The need for thoughtful criticism about the erotic in literature.
  • Her numerous publications, both hard copy and web-based.
  • The joy of makin’ ‘em laugh and cum at the same time.
  • Joining her writer’s group.

As a special treat, DL will treat us to a mouth-watering selection of the fruit of her Erotic Mind.  You won’t want miss this, people!

Hey sex fans,

The hilarious Kevin Keck is back with us again this week.  And we are treated to an even more intimate look into The Erotic Mind of this enormously talented essayist, poet, teacher and comedic genus than we got last week.  As you know, this is the podcast series where noted erotic artists of every stripe come to talk to us about the creative process involved with this specialized art form.  Kevin’s insights are both humorous and poignant, and not to be missed.

You did hear last week’s show, right?  If ya didn’t that’s ok, because Part 1 of our chat is archived right here on my site.  Simply use the search function to your right.  Type in Podcast #167 and voilà!  But hey, don’t forget to use the #sign when you search.

Kevin and I discuss:

  • People’s response to his confessional sex writing.
  • The universality of awkward sexual moments.
  • When sexuality goes awry.
  • Happening truth, story truth and emotional truth.
  • Self-consciousness about bodily functions.
  • The work of Rachel Kramer Bussel.
  • Being the father of identical twin daughters.
  • His father to son talk about girls.
  • Telling stories that entertain.
  • How sexual issues creep into his other writing.

Kevin treats us to a brief reading of his work during our conversation, but I think we deserve even more.  So I’ve taken the liberty of tacking on an audio clip of Kevin reading a full segment of the fruit of his Erotic Mind.  Stay tuned after the show for this extraordinary treat.
