Open Market Desire - Erotic Short Story for Women

When she started writing her book, Turned On: Science, Sex and Robots in , sex robots were little more than a twinkle in the eye of a tech developer. A year later Harmony sex robots, from California-based Realdoll, are rolling off the production line: All aimed at men. Sex robots are stuck in an engineering groove. Another female pleasure zone is on offer at the annual Shambala music festival in Northamptonshire, where visitors were invited to sit in a giant vulva known as the Lady Garden installation.

The installation started life in , with the idea of creating an anatomically correct representation of female genitalia that would stimulate conversations about female sexuality while also providing a cosy place to hang out. Visitors were also challenged to find the Glitorus, an anatomically correct sculpture of a clitoris hanging up among trees, which was covered in eco-glitter.

Not everyone could, which added to the pun. Reactions to the installation varied, depending on the time of day and the age of the visitors, says Mason. I also wanted it to be quite funny and playful, and to tie in the idea of recycled materials, as well as educate people about the structure of the vagina and clitoris. During its first year, boys aged came along. I think boys find it hard to understand that and so do girls. Girls are much less likely to discover how it works for themselves and they depend on the boy.

Once a girl has figured that out for herself, she can impart that knowledge to whoever she is having sex with. For psychosexual therapist Kate Moyle, a vulva cave is just what we need. She wants more women to vocalise their desires to their partners and to talk about their problems. The narrator's memories of the recent past are visited, briefly, like the train's stops along the line. In another tale, O'Halloran employs the manic motion of a rollercoaster at an amusement park to underscore the emotional struggles of her characters; translating the clack and whine of flanged wheels and groaning track into the roaring, full-throated cadences of erotic release.

Yet, there's more than mere quasi-poetic gimmickry to this writing. Reading through the five wonderful short stories in this collection reveals a multi-faceted talent; from the structural tour de force of the title story, to the delicate, jewel-like impressionism of "I Always Cry in the Rain": She perched against a table, the lights of the city rooftops behind her. She dresses like a wayward fifties bridesmaid--in red with a froth of petticoats swirling around her legs, a crimson rose punctuating her hair. Outside the heat is like syrup, thick and heavy. Inside is white and clean and crisp.

Inside, everything floats on the surface. He tries to ignore her, but she buzzes like an exotic insect at the edge of his vision. She is never totally still. He doesn't need to be close to her to know: She turns through people. Kathryn O'Halloran's "Desire" is not to be missed. See all 10 reviews.

What does that mean? Well, it's what you say and how you say it that's important, it's about sex but it's also about feelings and morality. It's the fire that burns in our heads and hearts as well as our loins. It's more about what goes on above the waist than below it.

It's about the animal in us that makes us human and how much we've evolved as a species -- and how much we've stayed the same. Milk Sugar is a literary journal that was formed with the creative writer in mind. We want to provide a forum where writers feel free to express their creative side in an environment that actually promotes creativity and not the status quo. Milk Sugar is not meant to be your typical literary journal, hence the name.

We want the erotic, the fantastical, the existential, the dirt, the grime and most of all the ultimate beauty that is a well-written piece. Allow us the privilege of finding out who you are through your work.

We enjoy explicit descriptions of sex written in white ink. Multiple orgasms with multiple climaxes.

The playful touching of intertextuality. Deliberately elusive linguistic weavings.

Words who slow dance with Aphasia and flirt with Amnesia. Words wet with formlessness. Words pregnant with child. With twins, with quintuplets. Sexology wants your personal essays, fiction, and poetry that examines sex as a cultural phenomenon and encourages potential discussion with our readers.

Submissions should be no more than words for prose, no more than words for poetry.
