 If
you can understand the rapturous thrill of dressing up, showing off, talking
dirty or flaunting it, join co-editor Rachel Kramer Bussel and contributors
Stan Kent, Simon Sheppard and Eros Zine editor Thomas Roche for an afternoon
reading from Caught
Looking: Erotic Tales of Voyeurs and Exhibitionists. "I can't deny that I have an exhibitionistic streak," writes Bussel. "After all, I have naked and topless photos of me floating around the internet (and an old copy of On Our Backs for those who remember that far back), I write about my sex life for The Village Voice, and I detail my fantasies in my erotica. I sometimes get off on people watching me show off my body, but I'm much shyer about actually having sex or even making out in front of people. Whenever I'm making out at a bar, I'll look up and feel myself blushing at the mere idea that someone might have seen me. "So as much as I may be a sometime exhibitionist, I'm even more of a voyeur. I love watching other people make out, grope, masturbate, and have sex. I love hearing about other people's dirtiest thoughts, which is why I love listening to and hosting erotica readings because then I also get to see the audience squirm as they get aroused by the words as well. I like watching a lover masturbate or just staring at their body when they might not know what I'm up to.  "With
Caught Looking, I think we've captured some of the best parts of
showing off and being watched, and you really see how sometimes a slow reveal
can be the hottest thing of all. When you're watching a lover, whether they're
on their own or with someone else, you get to truly observe them in a way
that you may not get to when you're in the throes of passion. They say that
men are more visual creatures than women; I don't know if that's true or
not, but I certainly get off on looking, whether it's at a hot woman's ass
walking down the street, imagining what a stranger passing by would look
like naked, or staring at a lover's eyes right before them come.  "The
best thing about voyeurism and exhibitionism is that they can be practiced
every day. Now please don't take that as a license to blatantly ogle the
woman sitting directly next to you on the bus so as to make her uncomfortable.
That's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about a sidelong glance,
checking someone out on the sly in a way that makes you hot they never even
need to know. Try to figure out what kinds of panties she's wearing, or
if she's wearing any at all, based on her reading material. Or flaunt your
tightest pants or reddest lipstick and try to be the most stared at person
as you walk to work, if that floats your boat. Sometimes the right kind
of prying eyes can make you want to flirt and flaunt. Exhibitionism and
voyeurism can be totally down and dirty, which you'll find in our stories,
including mine, which is called "Sharing the Perfect Cock," or on the lighter
side, such as in Teresa Noelle Roberts's "Burlesque and Answered Prayers,"
or you can incorporate both. You may never even actually meet the person
who's been getting off on looking at you . . . though if you do, watch out!
I might watch my lover while he's in the shower, but I also look at him
while he's eating dinner, especially if his head is turned and he's talking
to someone else, and it's those offhand moments, the ones that are subtle,
but also special, that make being a voyeur so much fun. "So I encourage everyone to come to Good Vibrations on Saturday, November 4th, and be both voyeurs as you watch us and exhibitionists as we stare back at you as we read . . . and feel free to imagine us naked while we spin our tales." If your appetite has been whetted by Bussel's wicked words, you can read an excerpt here or purchase Caught Looking: Erotic Tales of Voyeurs and Exhibitionists at Amazon.com. Better yet, if you're in the San Francisco area, visit Good Vibrations on Saturday, November 4, and enjoy some down and dirty readings.
