The Surrender: An Erotic Memoir

"I am sitting on the threshold. Perhaps this is the final paradox of God's paradoxical machinations: my ass is my very own back door to heaven. The Pearly Gates are closer than you think." Bentley is writing of her rhapsodic experience with sodomy. So some will call this memoir blasphemous, others spiritual; some pornographic, others erotic. What it is, is wonderfully smart and sexy and witty and moving, a tale of unbounded passion that leads to transcendence. The tale is paradoxical in more ways than one: aside from Bentley's ass leading to heaven, she finds that submission leads to freedom—-a freedom she had never known as a dancer with the New York City Ballet (about which she wrote her first book, Winter Season), nor in her failed marriage, nor in any of her other polymorphously perverse sexual experiences" (Publishers Weekly).

Elmer Batters: Legs That Dance to Elmer's Tune

This large book is loaded with full-color and black-and-white images of the work of Elmer Batters, and came from the publisher wrapped in a genuine nylon stocking. Batters passed away in 1997, and this is a great tribute to his work. For collectors of foot and leg fetish art, this is the book for you. There are some graphic images, which some may find as explicit matetial. (out of print)

Exquisite Mayhem

In the early Seventies, Ehret began to stage and photograph female wrestling scenarios in his studio. This erotic photographic genre has come to be known as 'apartment wrestling'. Shot on sets with controlled lighting, his photographs have a sense of uncanny drama absent from previous examples of the "cat fighting" fetish style. This book is the first to present, to a mass audience, the golden age of pro wrestling and its illegitimate sibling: apartment wrestling. By bringing together, for the first time, these two separate bodies of Theo Ehret's work, Exquisite Mayhem presents the roots of today's overtly eroticized theatrical world of pro wrestling.
