Herotica 7

Herotica 7 is the seventh colection of woman-authored and focused erotica from Down There Press. In Herotica 7 we've focused on a multicultural approach, asking how ethnic or cultural backgrounds can affect a person's sex life, solo or partnered. Are you a first, second, third (or more)-generation immigrant? Have you been involved with someone from another race/culture? If so, what were the effects, positive or negative, of cultural differences on the sex in these encounters/relationships? What did you learn from one another? What issues did you struggle with? How did you work them out? The collection offers stories of substance that illustrate how ethnic or cultural differences get played out in the bedroom.

This volume of Herotica has been edited by Marcy Sheiner, a contributor to the first three volumes and the editor of Herotica 4, 5 and 6. Mary Anne Mohanraj, contributor to Herotica 6 and author of Torn Shapes of Desire, has served as Consulting Editor.

The Herotica series has been acknowledged by The Nation as "representing images of desire for the nineties." Kirkus Reviews describe it as "the most successful series so far of erotica written by women." Other mentions have appeared in numerous publications, including the New York Times, USA Today, SF Chronicle, Whole Earth Review, Playboy, and Publishers Weekly.

We are currently in the final editing phase of this anthology, which will be forthcoming in 2001.
