Plus, those two pick what Jera will livetweet THIS SUNDAY March 14 over on Twitter. Mark your calendars!

Meg Weber recently released her first memoir: A Year of Mr. Lucky about a year-long D/s relationship. Melissa Febos called it "a portrait of longing so vivid and agonizing that I could not turn away." Jera spoke to her about the writing and publishing process. Meg is also a mom and a therapist, and you'll hear about publishing an explicit memoir while protecting her family and her practice.

It's our Valentine's episode, but you could also call it Two Angry Black Lesbians. Listen as Karen remembers a slew of queer 90s films and Princess tries to recommend her canon of good lesbian rom-coms, but not many pass the McDowell test.  Follow Feminist Erotica on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, and email us with questions/comments/concerns at [email protected].

Karen and Jera talk about the books they've been reading and their various relationships with violence, romance, and sex: a thriller series featuring a polyamorous triad, paranormal romance novels with wolf shifters and vampires, memoirs with BDSM ... it's so common to pair sex and violence. Do we just accept it? Embrace it? Listen in and share your thoughts! Books mentioned include: Pink Slip by Katrina Jackson Big Bad Wolf by Suleikha Snyder Blow Your House Down by Gina Frangello Blood Ex Libris by Raven Belasco
