Sex Writers lose their Voice
By Kuono • Oct 1st, 2008 • Category: In the News, Sex PositivityThe Village Voice recently fired “Pucker Up” sex columnist Tristan Taormino, according to Hamilton Nolan of Gawker. Tristan had been with the publication nine years. Only months ago, the Voice also fired “Lusty Lady” columnist Rachel Kramer Bussel. Gawker kept us up to date on that as well thanks to Emily Gould. Let’s see… what else did the voice do? Oh, they ended their site NakedCity.com, a collection of bits and ends and reviews and other points of interest for the adult industry which was edited by Audacia Ray. (Still partially online.)
Fortunately for us, we can still find these authors/editors at their individual sites, which we should support. Long live sex writers. (Check out these NYC Sex Writers 2009 Calendar — )
Audacia Ray – Waking Vixen (her site) – Live Review Girl (her awesome review site)
Tristan Taormino – Pucker Up (her site) – Opening Up (open relationship site)
Rachel Kramer Bussel – RachelKramerBussel.com (her site) – LustyLadyBlog (her blog)
