From the Introduction of Coming and Crying

So even in the very beginning we were not alone.

We knew from our earliest conversations that Coming & Crying was meant not to be erotic but true. We wanted to make a book that charged people with telling real stories about sex but didn’t pressure them to turn anyone on. Coming & Crying aims not for conclusions about sex but for the truth that is found in our shared experience of it. We recognize each other as human not through a singular narrative, but in our own particular stories.

There are twenty-four stories in this book and we hope all of them will knock you out or wake you up or make you feel less alone. You’ll encounter at least twenty-four people in a way one does not usually. Some of the names you’ll recognize, because they are established writers or your friends or people you follow on the Internet already….

if you haven’t ordered your copy yet, please consider doing so. it really was a true treat. the first story in this collection of experiences is called ‘i hit her.’ we’re thrown immediately into bed with a guy and a girl. they’re fucking and she asks him to hit her. she wants it. it turns her on.
these girls know what they’re doing. down to the order of the stories. the rest of these stories hit us just like he hit her. because we want it. we keep reading. because with each new story, something else inside us is turned on. is touched. there is tender. there is strange. there is hurtful. and awkward. and dangerous. and unexpected. and beautiful.
