Perversion in the News: Slurry Pervert Strikes Again!
0Today’s entry in Perversion in the News comes to us from the UK and concerns a man with a curiously unique fetish for dung and mud.
I am reminded that no matter how unusual someone’s fetish, there invariably seems to be others who share it. Still, I can’t quite wrap my mind around how on earth this fellow would write an honest personal ad and who on earth would respond to it.

Pornotopia Issue 3
0Edited by M.A. Sirk
Published in 2010 by Pandora Press
As always, in the interest of full disclosure, my copy came compliments of Pandora Press.
Pornotopia Issue 3 continues in the same vein as the first two issues but shows Sirk’s progress as a writer and editor. Unlike previous issues, this one features more content from other contributors.
This issue begins with another essay of about exhibitionism and is followed by a short illustrated article about Australian feminist Germaine Greer’s decision to pose nude. The next article titled “The Great Mother and Daughter Photo Scandal” establishes the unstated theme of this issue, mothers and daughters.
Sirk’s other articles include his reminiscences about past lovers and a nice, but too short, commentary on the limited number of English words available to discuss sexual acts and body parts, Also included is Sirk’s best fiction to date and a few reviews including a review of a work by yours truly.
While some might think printed zines passé, Pornotopia, with its intimate writing and focus on underappreciated topics, shows the zine format at its best.

Hey Stranger
0Written and published by Stephanie Kulick in 1992.
I can’t remember where I acquired this tiny 8 page zine which consists wholly of an ode to body piercing. Written just as body piercing was becoming more common, this is a sweet little tome which celebrates the author’s love of body modifications. While I would expect my favorite drawing to be of the pierced perineum, it was actually the drawing of a pierced fingernail on its opposite page that proved my favorite.
Much of this zine’s charm is that it is unmistakably handmade. The back cover is decorated with a Scotch® sealed lipstick kiss and the binding features a tiny ring evocative of the subject inside. My copy also came with a tiny sliver of paper inside where Stephanie promises to add additional rings to the binding if you return it to her with a stamp. The whole package serves as a reminder of how self-published zines can provide a level of intimacy mass published works cannot. Good stuff all around.
