Quotes by Simon Sheppard  (?)

“This excerpt includes both a cautionary tale of being caught en flagrante and a stirring defense of getting fucked.

Redeeming social value, indeed.”
Simon Sheppard, Homosex: Sixty Years of Gay Erotica

“One might—if one were, say, a gay sex writer—make a case that there's still a vibrant role for queer dirty words. While highly commodified mass-market DVD porn and its kinkier "specialty" cousins shows how sex looks, erotic texts are still the best mode to convey how sex—and its pesky cousin, desire—feels, and what it all means.”
Simon Sheppard, Homosex: Sixty Years of Gay Erotica

“It's certainly hard to find fault with a work that quotes Shakespeare, Homer, and a dirty limerick about "the young man from Oswego.”
Simon Sheppard, Homosex: Sixty Years of Gay Erotica
