Title: Sexy Book Club
Location: The Smitten Kitten
Description: This month we will be reading The Ethical Slut by Dossie Easton and Janet Hardy. If you have already read this one, feel free to look at other texts on the subject of non-monogamy, like Tristan Taormino’s Opening Up. Come prepared to discuss the successes and failures of the book in terms of communicating about the subject as well as some good talk about the subject in general.

Join us for Smitten Kitten’s Book Club! Each month we plan to read a different type of erotica or sex-related literature. At our monthly meetings we’ll discuss what we’ve read, ask questions, analyze and deconstruct erotic genres… and enjoy snacks, coffee and tea while we think, laugh and chat about sexy, smart writing.

Title: The Smitten Kitten Book Club First Meeting
Location: The Smitten Kitten
Description: Join us for the very first meeting of the Smitten Kitten Book Club! Each month we plan to read a different type of erotica or sex-related literature. At our monthly meetings we’ll discuss what we’ve read, ask questions, analyze and deconstruct erotic genres… and enjoy snacks, coffee and tea while we think, laugh and chat about sexy, smart writing.
For our first month of reading, we’ll be looking specifically at short erotic fiction anthologies.
Pick an anthology to read and come to our February 28th meeting prepared to discuss your selection, as well as the genre as a whole.
Short fiction anthologies are a very specialized sub genre of erotic literature, but how exactly do they operate as erotica, and how are readers expected to respond to them? We’ll discuss the craft and composition of short erotica stories and anthologies, as well as how kink and fetish fit into the genre.
To make the things more interesting, try a type of story you wouldn’t normally read. There are erotica anthologies themed around everything from candy and food to gay cowboys… here are some suggestions!

Slave to Love
Queer Papi Porn
The Sex Workers of Planet Taurus
Cross Dressing
Sweet Life

Title: From the Top
Location: The Smitten Kitten
Description: So you’ve been fantasizing about taking charge with your lover, or you’ve been fondling the spanking & flogging toys when you visit sex shops…or maybe you’re already exploring but want to learn even more. Trust us when we tell you - you’re not alone! Sarah Sloane, experienced sex educator and BDSM practitioner, will give you a fun, practical, and tantalizing guide to being the person in control. From the inside jobs of determining what you want and how to get comfortable with getting it, to negotiating your fantasies with a partner, we’ll take the concept into the realm of reality - from the top! You don’t need to be solely interested in the top side to come - in fact, if you’re more interested in the other side of the coin, you’ll learn plenty about how top’s think and how to communicate with them even better!

Title: Bottom’s Up
Location: The Smitten Kitten
Description: The desire to submit, whether physically, mentally, or emotionally, is a vitally powerful one - and amazingly erotic! Yet so many people are confused about what their desires really mean, and how to get them met. Fear not! Sarah’s class will walk you through the many different ways that people enjoy being on the receiving end, how to identify which fantasies you can make into reality, how to ask for - and get - what you want, and some key tools to take care of yourself as you dip your toes into the pool. Tops can feel free to come with their partners, or alone - and learn new ways to encourage the bottom in your life to explore the bottom side.
