A Night of Delicious Erotica
Here are some luscious photos from book release party for Sex and Candy: 22 Succulent Stories (Pretty Things Press) edited by Rachel Kramer Bussel, held December 14 at Pete's Candy Store.
Editor Rachel Kramer Bussel, host and Sex and Candy contributor Jen Dziura, and Molly Crabapple look good enough to eat.
Keavy MacPherson Landreth of Kumquat Cupcakery made all 144 mini cupcakes in six different flavors, including peanut butter frosting with chocolate cake!
Tables were strewn with all kinds of candy and attendees munched on mini cupcakes. Jen Dziura, Tsaurah Litzky and Rachel Kramer Bussel all read from the book—respectively, "The Fat Box" (about some well-placed Twizzlers) by Jen Dziura, "Old-Fashioned Fudge" by Tsaurah, and Rachel read from Stan Kent's "Cupcake," in which the narrator actually has sex with (a la American Pie) a cupcake. Jen did erotic Mad Libs with some of the stories, having the audience call our appropriate (or totally random) responses, producing some hilarious results, and we gave away prizes including furry handcuffs and bondage tape.

Sugar Rush
by Rachel Kramer Bussel
Sweet. Creamy. Gooey. Luscious. If you ask me, sex and candy have a lot in common. Both can make us lose our minds a little, getting into a frenzy where all we care about is tasting it, swallowing it, having it that very moment. Sex and candy make us reckless, wanton, hungry, horny. As Michele Zipp puts it, “The desire for candy as a child is like the lust for sex as an adult. It’s craved, it satiates, it even calms.” For me, quite often, sugar makes me ravenous for someone else to share its sweetness with, or at least, makes me want to lick someone else after I’ve gotten done licking the frosting off a cupcake, savoring a Kit Kat or Nestle Crunch, or devouring a smooth soft-serve ice cream cone on a blazingly hot day.
When publisher Alison Tyler asked me if I’d like to make my dream of a sugar erotica collection come true, I was actually sitting in my favorite bakery, sugar Sweet sunshine, on Manhattan’s Lower East Side, enjoying a delicious vanilla cupcake. I often go there on weekends to write and people watch, and sometimes I don’t even need to sample their delicious treats to absorb the thrill of being surrounded by sugar (though I do often satisfy my craving for a cupcake or slice of crumbly, cinnamon-and-sugar-emblazoned coffee cake). The air simply sings with it, and I think that’s the reason I’ve witnessed many people heading there while on a date.
Sugar is sensual, and when we indulge in it, we really do indulge. I’ve never been one for raisins in my salad or pears in my main course; I firmly believe that dessert is for dessert. I like to take my time when I eat sweets, giving them the proper attention they deserve, kindof like sex. I don’t love quickies because I’d rather roll around in bed all day, or for as long as I can, going back for more and more and more. I like to savor a mouthful of ice cream, letting the creamy goodness slide along my tongue and down my throat. I like to suck on candy canes for as long as I can, savoring that sweetly spicy taste. I love dipping my finger into a bowl of cookie dough batter, tasting the tang of salt and sugar and the occasional chocolate chip. And, surprise surprise, all of these treats make my whole body ache. When I’m alone, indulging my sweet tooth, I always long for a lover to come and kiss his way down my back, his tongue making me melt just like the sugar disappears on my tongue. I long for a gorgeous woman to part my legs and lick me to ecstasy as the sugar soars in my bloodstream. A surefire way to make me melt is to bake for me or simply offer me a sweet treat, preferably consumed directly from your fingertips. Maybe it’s because I have a decided oral fixation, but I’m certainly glad I’m not the only one.
In the scrumptious stories collected in this book, you’ll read about everything from Turkish Delight to cinnamon rolls, pudding to cotton candy, taffy to Twizzlers. These tales are funny and quirky, sensual and tasty. Some are the equivalent of slowly savoring a lollipop or peppermint stick, sucking and sucking until your tongue turns colors. Others are the kind you want to gobble down immediatelyæthe candy bar that you can’t wait until you get home to try, or the ice cream of SékouWrites’s “TimeReleaseDessert,” melting before you’ve had a chance to truly savor it, making you need to eat it in a hurry.
The authors here have gone all out in their quest to show you just how much pleasure can be wrung out of some “Old Fashioned Fudge.” They take you all the way to Italy for some delicious gelato and to New York for some of Magnolia Bakery’s famed cupcakesæbut Stan Kent’s story would’ve been way too racy for Sex and the City. I can guarantee that you’ll never look at a luscious, shiny candy apple in quite the same way after reading Radclyffe’s sizzling “Cinnamon Secrets.” Sacchi Green’s protagonist in “Sugar on Snow” gets asked a vexing question: “Which would you prefer, ravishment or eating?” But these lusty guys and girls know that you can have your dessert and get eaten tooæin fact, they excel at wooing their lovers with sugary delights.
Donna George Storey opens Sex and Candy unfolding “Six Layers of Sweetness” that will arouse and move you, making you yearn to peel back the layers of your desireæand to ask her to make you a Venetian. Then enjoy the guided tour through all manner of candy, baked goods, chocolate, and a few surprises, concluding with my personal favorite, the cupcake, which appears twice, in Jolene Hui’s “Banana Afternoon” and Stan Kent’s closer entitled, simply “Cupcake.” The word itself a naughty double entendre (if you’ve ever said to someone, “I’d like to taste your cupcakes,” you’ll immediately see what I mean).
To me, sex and candy are two of life’s most perfect delights. Combining them, whether you’re feeding your lover a bit of brownie, getting beaten with a big lollipop, licking ice cream off someone’s chest, smearing frosting all over yourself, or teasing someone by sucking suggestively on a popsicle, can truly make your head spin.
I suggest settling down with some of your favorite candy or sweets, whatever they may beæthis is a book meant to both satisfy and whet your appetites, and I’m pretty sure you’ll finish each story even hungrier, and hornier, than you were when you started.

Cupcakes Take the Cake!
Wear this cupcake necklace while reading Stan Kent's delicious cupcake-themed story in Sex & Candy.
From Cupcake by Stan Kent.
I couldn’t help but notice that Lizzie put the camera down safely out of my reach. I would have loved to have pictures of her eating away at my bulbous pink cupcaked cock, but I’d have to settle for the memories as she steadied the slick shaft in her hands and nibbled away at the pink frosting and the cake, working her way around the head as she stroked my shaft. Accompanying her nibbling was a delightful series of slurps, moans and pronouncements of how good I tasted as she masturbated my cupcaked cock into her mouth.

Candy Apple Cool
From Cinnamon Secrets by Radclyffe:
Our lips met, the candy apple joining us, and we both sucked on it. My head was getting light from not breathing, and the steady rush of blood into my clit was making it ache. I could feel her nipples like small stones crushed against mine. Finally I bit through my half and she sucked the other part into her mouth. I swallowed it fast; so did she. And then our mouths were fused again, free of everything but the taste of cinnamon and sex.
