Erotic Review
The Erotic Review podcast explore's desire through art, essays, short stories and poetry.
Our erotic lives can direct our entire existence, yet so much of our experience and longing is left unspoken. Our desires have been repressed and punished and directed throughout history, celebrated, objectified or hidden. The object of our desire can obsess us, drive us to despair or compel us; often they are the imagined centre of a more satisfying existence. And at the core of our desire is the hope for transcendence, almost religious in its fervour, if only ever fleeting. We believe that although desire is intensely personal, it can connect us to our common humanity.
