Dedicated LGBTQ+ Erotic History Series
The magazine documents and celebrates queer erotic history, spotlighting pivotal figures, works, and movements that shaped sexual liberation. This archival work preserves important cultural memory. The series is dedicated to exploring diverse topics including BDSM, kink, fetish, polyamory, non-monogamy, power exchange, ageplay, and more. It seeks to create an accessible space for people to learn about these histories while also critically examining their legacies within broader sociopolitical contexts.
The magazine features interviews with influential activists who have contributed to this field, such as Annie Sprinkle, Gayle Rubin, and John Money. Each issue profiles pioneers in art, literature, film, music, fashion, and other media that have advanced queer culture. Additionally, it includes in-depth discussions on how different cultures across time and geography have approached gender and sexuality.
Annual subscriptions are available at $20 for print copies or $15 digital access. All proceeds benefit educational programs and scholarships for marginalized communities through its nonprofit organization, Queering Sex Education.
The series' editorial team has a background in academia, community organizing, and publishing. Their goal is to provide rigorous research and engaging storytelling without sacrificing nuance or complexity. They hope to inspire readers to think differently about their own identities and relationships while recognizing the importance of collective liberation efforts.
As a special bonus, each issue comes with an exclusive erotic zine featuring original works from contributors of all genders and orientations. This supplement encourages readers to explore pleasure beyond traditional boundaries and challenge normative understandings of desire.
