Dirty Poetry

About Dirty Poetry

I talk to people about sex. They come back and tell me they are having more better sex. Listen to a few episodes of Dirty Poetry. It could be you having the more better sex. I'm Jack Cairn, your host for Dirty Poetry. After many years of traveling all over America, I’m back at the ranch for what was supposed to be a quiet retirement. Through the years I’ve had a long series of successful romances, affairs, and marriages. Successful in that they're over, and almost entirely without bloodshed. I've had the great good fortune to have been loved by some amazing women. My manhood has been shaped by these beautiful, brilliant, wondrous women who shared their affections with me. One of the most constant threads throughout my lifetime has been that I’ve been reading erotic literature. Not the picture books. Well OK, maybe a few of the picture books. But primarily erotic novels and short story anthologies. I lost my entire library in Hurricane Harvey. A lot of out of print classics and a few truly rare volumes. A lifetime’s collection. Gone. It was a disaster. I am rebuilding. I want to invite you to come along with me on this adventure of building an erotic library. See the new collections in the Dirty Poets Bookstore, https://shop.aer.io/DirtyPoets It seems that circumstances have come together to make this now, the right thing, in the right place, at the right time. We have all the technology we need. You and I can share intimate moments any place, anytime, but always in the privacy of your own mind. Having been a longtime reader of erotica, I think I’ve grown into the editorial discernment needed to find powerful stories, skillfully written material, from the best and most creative erotic minds. I’m not embarrassed to talk about sex in public. In fact, it appeals to my exhibitionist tendencies. Add into all that, the fact that people have been telling me most of my life that I have a ’late night radio smooth jazz voice’. I’ve always brushed that off, made light of it. I’m finally ready to own it, ready to speak that voice to you in the service of seduction. This has become my life’s calling. I want to invite you to come along with me on this adventure of discovering and exploring the best erotic minds. I want you to share along with me, the power and beauty and grace that the expression of our erotic imagination creates in all of us. Join me on this adventure we call Dirty Poetry. Using the word poetry very loosely of course. See the Dirty Poets Bookstore here: https://shop.aer.io/DirtyPoets https://www.dirtypoets.com/support

   Libraries And The Goddesses Who Inhabit Them

   There you have it, the beginning of another episode of Dirty Poetry, using the word poetry very loosely. This episode is couple of stories about libraries and librarians. Before we get to the goddesses who bring life to these hallowed halls, let’s give some credit to the students and researchers who find their adventures back in the stacks. Our first story is about a grad student who, in a haze of exhaustion, discovers what she is really looking for. Between The Pages by Z.S. Roe That was Between The Pages written by Z.S. Roe who describes himself as a book lover, a tea addict and by trade, a glass worker. Z.S. Row is primarily a poet but nevertheless has 10 published short stories, the latest being what Grew Before the Sun, which was published in the Big Book of Orgasms, Volume 2 that came out in 2022. For many of us who came from a time before there was an internet, libraries were our window on the world. Like diving into an ocean, there was always so much more to explore. They were all, large and small, places that were cherished and revered. They were, and are, populated by brilliant women. Brilliant women who work so hard at being contained and proper. But to my eye, they are goddesses who bring life to hallowed halls. And they are always so much more a woman than their work allows them to be. When I was young, I would travel to one of the great libraries, sometimes several hours on a bus. There were statues by famous artists at the entrance and great art hung in the halls. The main reading room was huge, long and cavernous with a high arched and vaulted ceiling. As you entered there was the scent of old books with the promise of ancient knowledge for those who would dig. All of it, free to the people. It was a hallowed and solemn place. For a time, I would go there every week or two. The subject I was interested in those days was propulsion units. This caught the attention of a particular research librarian who set herself on the hunt for me. I would stop by her desk to pick up her list of references and the bundle of photocopies she had collected for me from the latest journals and sometimes even restricted government research. She was brilliant. And beautiful. When there was occasion to come around the desk, I could catch the faint flowery springtime perfume of my librarian mingled with the scent of fresh photocopies copies on her desk. All of that with the bassnote of old books and leather that permeated the place. Those memories have not faded. I do have a confession though, it was not until very recently that I realized that I am not the only one who has fantasies of the Goddesses who inhabit libraries. I’m not the only one who thinks intelligent women are sexy. Who knew? Joe Cocker sings ‘you can leave your hat on’. Well, as far as I'm concerned, you can leave your glasses on too. No doubt, the libraries were where my fascination with intelligent women began. And speaking of intelligent, interesting women. Our next story is written by Susannah Indigo. Susanna Indigo is a character in her own right. She is, and has been for many years, a very active and prolific erotic short story author. She has edited many erotic short story anthologies. She founded in 1998 the erotic literary journal Clean Sheets, which, in it’s day, was a home to many great erotic writers. She has since co-founded and is currently an editor at Slow Trains, a general literary journal that covers a wide range of subjects. Many of today's greatest writers have found a home there. The next story that I have for you, I read years ago and it...

   Shopkeeper Sex

   Stay with me for this episode of Dirty Poetry. Go ahead. Take it all. The whole enchilada. This episode of Dirty Poetry is about shopkeepers who happen to be big women. Women like sex. Big women like sex. Let's see how that all turns out. Let's give a listen to our first story. Small Packages by Tenille Brown That story, Small Packages was written by Tenille Brown, who describes herself as a shoe shopping, wine drinking southern writer. She is an author of erotic short stories who has been at her trade for quite some time. She's been published in over 30 different erotic story anthologies among them Fast Girls, Making The Hookup, Best Bondage Erotica, F Is For Fetish, and the anthology that our stories in this episode come from, which is entitled Curvy Girls edited by Rachel Kramer Bustle. Ms Bustle has edited over 30 erotic story anthologies. Her erotic short story writing has been published in over 100 anthologies. She's been an editor at Penthouse on television appearances, and had regular magazine columns. Our Curvy Girls anthology comes to us from a name that you probably recognize Rachel Kramer bustle In this anthology, Curvy Girls, she asked April Flores to write the forward. In that forward. Ms Flores says, “For the longest time we've been told the lie that being thin equals being beautiful, happy and desirable. And somewhere along the line we've also been led to believe that fat people don't enjoy sex or possibly that we're not worthy of enjoying sex.” All right, let's back up a little bit here. April Flores is herself a big beautiful woman and, in addition to many other things, she is a model and a porn star. In the forward to Curvy Girls she says, “Women enjoy sex. Fat women enjoy sex. I am one of those women and have had the extreme privilege of being able to explore and express my own sexuality within my work. I've been able to live out many fantasies while making an effort to send my message of body and size positivity. I am an exhibitionist by nature and performing in adult films and posing for photographers and artists has allowed me to expand on my exhibitionism. I've been so lucky as to have been able to broaden my sexuality by working with a diverse range of performers who representative variety of races, gender identities and levels of experience with each shoot. I have learned from my partner and have been able to take away something new. In my opinion, confidence is what makes someone attractive. You have good sex when you feel good about yourself, regardless of your body size. The characters and curvy girls are enjoying every bit of their sexuality and I enjoyed experiencing their sexuality too.” Amen Sister. Confidence is sexy, and we all want to be sexy. The next story in this episode also from the Curvy Girls anthology is written by Lolita Lopez. Ms Lopez is actually a serial novelist. She generally tells her stories in a series of novels. Her writing style is what she describes as super sexy science fiction. Her titles include Dead Sexy Dragon, one of the Dragon Heat series, Caught By Menace, one of the titles from the Grabbed series, Margaritas and Mayhem from the Holiday Menage series. In 2021 she was invited to a group writing project with some of today's greatest science fiction writers that was published under the title Cyborg Redemption. In this episode of Dirty Poetry, Ms Lopez, known to her friends and fans as ‘Lo’, has written an erotic short story about a big beautiful woman. Lo is a Texas girl and she's written us a sexy short story about a shopkeeper in Houston. A baker...

   Old Friends, New Sex

   And there you have it, just a taste of the Dirty Poetry yet to come. Stay with me for all the rest of this episode of Dirty Poetry, using the word poetry very loosely. Our first story is about a group of old friends who have known each other for years and years. They've traveled together and had adventures and have been a part of each others lives for a long time. They know each other well. They have for a long time, had a monthly card game. Everything was always friendly and normal... until tonight... when things got strange. Let's take a listen. That was Heads-Up Poker. Written by Susan Di Placido. Ms Di Placido is a prolific author. She has, to date, published ten novels and one collection of short stories. Her stories almost always involve gambling and card playing and many of them are set in Las Vegas. But regardless of the setting, Ms Di Placido always manages to work in a lot of steamy spicy sex scenes. Her work has been recognized and awarded in the literary world. Her short story, “I, Candy” won the Spirit Award at the 2005 Moon Dance International Film Festival. Her short story collection, American Cool won the bronze medal in the 2008 IPPY Awards and it was a finalist for the 2008 Indie Book Awards. Her novel Shuffle Up and Deal was nominated for the Romantic Times Reviewer's Choice Award for Best Erotic Fiction in 2010. Susan Di Placido’s work has been published in many places. Among them, Maxim Jakubowski’s Mammoth Book Of Best New Erotica in both volume six and volume seven, Zane's Caramel Flava, Run Devil Run, Slow Trains Literary Review, Rebellion: New Voices Of Fiction, Clean Sheets and Susie Bright’s Best American Erotica 2007, which is where we found our story, Heads-Up Poker. Let's take a moment and address the elephant in the room. Okay, one of the elephants in the room. You might notice that both of our stories in this episode of Dirty Poetry are written by women, one of them decidedly lesbian, but both stories are told from the perspective of heterosexual men. This kind of gender bending perspective shift is, and always has been, common among the authors of erotic literature. As readers and listeners, these stories allow us to walk a mile in someone else’s panties. And our authors also take an equally joyful turn at that switch. In fact, part of the beauty of both erotic literature and our own erotic imagination is, that in the privacy of our own minds, we can all allow our imaginations, our desires and hungers, to roam freely, to venture into places that we would never allow to happen in our real lives. With all of our real life expressions of sexuality that are so tender, loving, comforting, well... okay, even with the ass slapping, hair pulling excitement that we want in our real life sexuality, still there are places, many places that our imagination goes that we would never allow to see the light of day. Good writers take us to these forbidden places and bring us safely back again from the adventures of foreign travel in exotic lands. With our own erotic fantasies encouraged to take wing, our sexual imaginations are now allowed to travel to places that are unlikely, improbable. Places that stretch the boundaries of what sexuality is, and occasionally even jump the fence into the impossible. Stories that can arouse possibilities that we would have never imagined. But somehow they become real for us for just a few brilliant moments in the privacy of our own minds. It is there, in the privacy of our imagination that we can begin to discover our own most primal sexual arousals. It is great writers with their wild tales, with their exotic erotic...

   A Life Of Seductions

   The reading in this episode of Dirty Poetry is entitled “A Life Of Seductions” written by Nancy Sasha Long. This is an erotic short story that appeared in the anthology Seductions, Tales Of Erotic Persuasions edited by Dr Lonnie Barbach. Our editor, the good Dr Barbach has this to say in the introduction; “When I think about the most erotic moments of a sexual experience, I am drawn to the delicious and unpredictable build up, the dance of seduction. A sexual experience often lodges in the memory most vividly because of the events that led up to the actual physical lovemaking. The invitation to sensually, provocatively play, the anticipation of an experience charged with pleasure and delight. Consequently, I have gathered a collection of stories that emphasis these openings, stories that set the stage for the sexual encounters that follow. Seduction is the kindling of romance. It ignites the spark of sexual desire and intensity. Unfortunately, the art of seduction becomes a lost art in many long term monogamous relationships, although it is usually an important part of nearly every courtship. This is a tragic loss because in its absence, relationships can become deprived of sexual liveliness and passion. The connection becomes humdrum, The mundane creeps in and the relationship is diminished. The word seduction comes from the latin term meaning to lead away. In every seduction, some psychological or emotional resistance is implied and must be overcome. The resistance may be something as simple as the preoccupation and routines of everyday life, or it may be as complex as a romantic involvement with another. In either case, one person begins to entice the other, drawing his or her attention away from its current focus and onto a new agenda. Yet every seduction is a cooperative venture. Ultimately both partners must be willing to play the escalating erotic game. At any point, one person could abdicate or drop out. The seduced could rebuff the seducer’s advances and the interaction would end. In humans, romantic pathways are more extensive and complex than in any other species. We alone use fantasy and imagination as an important part of our seductive encounter. We have the capacity to raise seduction to a form of art though we are still animals. Our brains have been programmed to respond to someone that we are attracted to through a physiological chain of events that heightens feelings of pleasure in both the seducer and the one being seduced. When someone excites us, our bodies respond with a gush of natural chemicals that stimulate the nervous system, causing us to feel euphoric, energetic and optimistic. Our hearts be wildly. We’re turned on and maybe following in love, or at least in lust. We may experience a racy sense of exuberance and power at these times, with some creative thoughts and attention. An artful seduction can create a surge of natural chemicals even in a relationship of long duration. We never lose our capacity to resurrect these pleasurable experiences. It remains with us for our entire lives.” Our story tonight is the story of a woman who's fantasies become so constant, so all consuming, that she is drawn into dangerous situations in real life and ultimately becomes an entirely different woman because of her fantasies. Our editor, Dr Barbach and the author, Nancy Long had this to say about our story; “Rather than moving towards someone, the motivation behind some seductions is to escape from a certain set of circumstances. When life is depressing or distressing, when a relationship is having difficulties, we may find ourselves moving away from a drab or uncomfortable reality, seeking relief through an illicit sexual relationship or seductive daydream. We may seduce ourselves with a fantasy and create the perfect lover who will rescue us from the emptiness...
