Surprising Reading Habits of Seniors Revealed by Cleis Press' Pundit Rachel Kramer Bussel
(PRWEB) July 17, 2013 -- Rachel Kramer Bussel, one of the stars of erotica, named by BUST Magazine as one of the best editors around in 2013, wrote an editorial on "Erotic Lit Your Grandmother Will Like" for The Daily Beast. She discusses the growing market for this form of erotica as more seniors are becoming open about their sexuality.
Bussel discusses the new trend and reaction to "senior erotica," which is erotic fiction written about characters over 50 years old. Joan Price, 69, took is one step further by doing an anthology with writers who could only be over 50. Bussel, a proponent of every kind of sexuality, focuses on Joan Price because her mission is to "teach readers that intimacy doesn’t end at 50 or 60 or any set age."
“I see this as a chance to show from a mature vantage point that celebrating sexuality is a very good thing. Intimacy can change when you reach a certain age but it shouldn’t stop.” —Joan Price
Rachel Kramer Bussel is the editor of more than 40 anthologies, including Best Sex Writing 2013, Obsessed, and Irresistible: Erotic Romance for Couples. She writes widely about romance, dating and pop culture, and is a blogger at Lusty Lady and Cupcakes Take the Cake. Her books Passion and Gotta Have It have become bestselling audio books.
