Having gained the reputation as one of the world's leading writers on sex and sexual politics, Susie pleasures us with her always provocative, often hilarious prose = touching all the bases on the sexual playing field and challenging the idea that a woman cannot be a mother and a sex goddess at the same time.

SEX AMONG THE LOTUS (An Exhibit)/ 03.18.04 Sex Among the Lotus (www.museumofsex.com/lotus) provides a sweeping survey of the culture's erotic heritage. It examines the archeological record and literary sources of China's carnal obsessions and places China's well-known visual erotica within the larger historical context of the culture. The exhibition includes over 300 works of art from private and public collections in the U.S., Europe and Asia - from the explicit imagery of 200 BC tomb tiles and sexual escapades of Tang dynasty emperors to the latest pornography hot off China's commercial presses. On display are rarely seen artifacts from such distinguished lenders as Kinsey Institute Museum, Gallerie Myrna Myers, Joel & Edie Frankel, Glenn Roberts, and China's Sex Museum in Shanghai. Objects include a 10th century rock-crystal penis, exquisitely painted pillow books created to educate young brides and concubines, an extraordinary selection of shoes for bound feet, and remarkable photographs of sex workers from Shanghai's notorious red light districts.
