While posing for Playboy magazine, freelance Bill of Rights defender Karen Finley was told, while chocolate dripped down her nipples, that her smirk wasn’t “Playboy sexy.” When writing for nerve.com, the so-called erotic on line magazine, she was told she would need to replace the word “cock” with something – something less objectionable?

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Edited by performance artist Karen Finley and with an introduction by Richard Hell, Aroused runs the erotic gamut fiction, drama, poems, essays and several pieces that defy categorization. (There are photos, too: director John Waters's offering is a series called "Twelve Assholes and a Dirty Foot.") The contributors from Wallace Shawn, Mary Gaitskill and bell hooks to Annie Sprinkle, Lydia Lunch and Richard Lewis are as diverse as the subject matter, which ranges from cybersex to autofellatio. Irreverent, hip, intelligent and frequently kinky, here is a welcome break from the one-note erotic anthologies that currently proliferate.
