‘Exploring Desire’
The third issue for the recently relaunched Erotic Review is another brilliant collection of writing addressing modern sexuality and desire. Expect short fiction, essays, photography, extracts from novels, personal reflections and more.
Plus an essential essay for anybody interested in the role of magazines: Brit Dawson looks back at previous iterations of Erotic Review, examining them in the context of their times, and reflecting on how society’s attitude towards sex and desire has changed, and how the new magazine reflects this.
That change is summed up by editor Lucy Roeber: ‘We believe that our erotic lives inflect our entire existence. Desire is both intensely personal and can connect us to our common humanity... the idea of a different discourse, and its potential to transform who and how we could be in this world, has become the imagined centre of this project. We hope your experience here is deeply satisfying.’
