In mainstream media, the erotic identities, sex lives, and fantasies of transgender and genderqueer people are often oversimplified, sensationalized, or invisible.
Take Me There is an erotica collection unlike any other that celebrates the pleasure, heat, and diversity of transgender and genderqueer sexualities. The power of seeing and being seen is a central theme in the anthology; it's not simply about passing or not passing (an idea often explored with transgender characters), but about being acknowledged and desired in a sexual context.
The book takes you from San Francisco to Israel, from heartache to lust, from stranger sex to a 10 year anniversary, from ballet shoes to butt plug bondage tables, from fumbling teenagers to leatherclad bears, from MTF and FTM--and in between and beyond. Featuring renowned authors Kate Bornstein (
Gender Outlaws: The Next Generation), Patrick Califia (
Speaking Sex to Power), S. Bear Bergman (
Butch is a Noun), Ivan Coyote (
Missed Her), Julia Serrano (
Whipping Girl), Laura Antoniou (
The Marketplace), Helen Boyd (
My Husband Betty), Rachel Kramer Bussel (
Gotta Have It), Toni Amato (
Pinned Down by Pronouns), Alicia E. Goranson (
Supervillianz), filmmaker Tobi Hill-Meyer, musician Rahne Alexander, songwriter Shawna Virago, bloggers Andrea Zanin and Sinclair Sexsmith, and more.
"There was something about the way she touched me that made it clear she was touching the body I felt I had rather than the one I actually had. Oh, my god, her hands felt so good." --from "The Perfect Gentleman" by Andrea Zanin
