Frank R. Larkin is an ardent advocate for shame-free, consensual sex. A survivor of sex abuse perpetrated by a predator-pediatrician in Omaha, he saw firsthand how communities and religious institutions rallied around his abuser, believed to have molested hundreds, perhaps thousands of children in his medical practice, and in his youth sports league. Frank believes that the coached sexual shame we're subjected to as children not only protects abusers and the institutions who foster them, but plays far too significant a role in the lives of millions of sexually dissatisfied men and women.

There are always a million things to write about, and there’s a million ways it could all go to shit, but if you’re sitting there worried about all the ways it could go to shit or all the things you can’t think of, that’s not writer’s block, that’s just sitting there and not writing. Stop believing this fucking thing you’re working on has got to be some fucking masterpiece and start moving your brush. Look at all the masterworks that are essentially do-overs, literally painted on top of some other fucking thing that artist put shitloads of time into and said, fuck it, this isn’t working. Go be that artist, but don’t call it art. Call it sweeping the floor and you’ll get farther. Let others or history itself decide whether or not it’s fucking art. If you’re not doing it for you, I don’t think it can be art, but if you’re not doing it at all, I know it can’t be.

How to Eat Your Lover’s Asshole

Before you endeavor to eat your lover’s asshole, reparations are in order. You see, the asshole is a sensitive thing, and you’ve been hurting its feelings your whole life, possibly without knowing it, as if that’s any fucking excuse. The asshole takes a butt-load of criticism, gets a bum rap if you will, mostly for doing a pretty shitty job in a crappy part of town. Butt ask yourselves, is it yo

F.R.’s Quotes

“When the soul of a man is born in this country there are nets flung at it to hold it back from flight. You talk to me of nationality, language, religion. I shall try to fly by those nets.”
