Switch Hitters by Carol Queen; Lawrence Schimel

Switch Hitters

Lesbians Write Gay Male Erotica and Gay Men Write Lesbian Erotica

Carol Queen; Lawrence Schimel

Publisher’s Note

Can hot gay porn flow from the pens of lesbian writers? Can a gay man write convincingly of female sexuality? Can art remake same-sex desire? Switch Hitters answers an emphatic ‘yes!’ to all these questions, celebrating a truly queer approach to sexuality, where hot sex is more important than gender labels.

Industry reviews

”Switch Hitters’ asks many interesting questions: Is there a homoerotic sensibility independent from gender? Do we explore different facets of eroticism and the erotic body in cross-gender writing than we do when writing porn for our own gender? And, does our erotic writing speak more to questions of gender or to questions of sexual orientation? These are not easily answered questions, either in the ensuing stories, or in any other context. They are, though, questions that, with the stories as vehicles, provoke fascinating conversation. I had to stop more than once while reading ‘Switch Hitters’ to do a double-take on what the author’s sex was. That alone makes their point.’
