Episode Description
Katharine Gates’ bestselling book Deviant Desires: A Tour of the Erotic Edge—the classic exploration of niche kinks, sexual misfits, and DIY fetish—is now back, revised and updated! Author Katharine Gates, curator of the year-long exhibition KINK at Museum of Sex, has added a new introduction, plus chapters on Cannibal Play ("Eat Me!"), Suburbs of the Foot Fetish, and more. The expanded book also includes a handy "kinkmap"–your guide to the erotic imagination (versions of this map have been used in university-level psychology textbooks). Often imitated but never equaled, this book is required reading for those who understand rule #34 of the Internet: if it's out there, someone is getting off on it.
