May is National Masturbation Month, and Femina Potens is celebrating with an auto-erotica reading extravaganza at SIZZLE. Carol Queen, Dusty Horn, award winning porn star, Madison Young, and sizzling burlesque performer, Chica Boom, will set the self-pleasuring stage with their pud-pulling pieces of fantasy and real life. Carol Queen, the quintessential sex and culture maven will captivate the crowd with stories from her sexual cannon of debauchery. Dusty Horn will spank spectators with stories from her seductive zine of exploits as a pro BDSM switch.  Chica Boom, award winning burlesque performer who holds the title of Miss Gay Latina, will tempt us with her seductive burlesque performance that involves electric vibrations and earth shattering orgasms or is at least an homage to such sexually astounding experiences. Madison Young, will blow your mind and break your literary and performance hymens with her latest erotic acts in exhibitionism. Madison Young, clad in a letter sweater, will seduce the words on the page as she tantalizes her type writer and fists her **********.  Show up to Sizzle to hear Madison Young read from her forthcoming memoirs and find out what ********** stands for. Afterward, our aroused audience of literary patrons will be invited to question the sizzling experts and artists at our Q&A panel.

Carol Queen is the author of Real Live Nude Girl: Chronicles of Sex-Positive Culture and has also written or edited 10 other books. She’s the Founding Director of the Center for Sex & Culture (www.sexandculture.org) with her partner Robert Morgan Lawrence, with whom she innovated the Live Masturbate-a-Thon (www.masturbate-a-thon.com) after helping develop the original private masturbate-a-thon at Good Vibrations. She still works at Good Vibrations as Staff Sexologist (www.goodvibes.com), where she also occasionally blogs. You can now keep up with her on Facebook and Twitter, and look for more detail about her writing at www.carolqueen.com.

Always a literalist, Dusty Horn has taken the act of making a name for herself to absurd lengths. As a porn performer and practitioner of professional BDSM for over two years, she goes by Christina Mabry Horn, and you can call her Tina if you’re lucky. Vast legions of bike punks and DIY rockers know her by a monosyllabic moniker referencing her resemblance to a 14-year-old English schoolboy. As for what they call her when she’s at home, only her attorney knows for sure. Horn earned her BA in modern literature from UCSC and King’s College London which may go some way towards explaining the Marxist-feminist-paraliterary critical theory slant, and also the body hair. Among her accomplishments are writing for Mcsweeney’s the Believer, penning, publishing, and distributing her nominal sex worker memoir zine, releasing her former band’s 7 inch on her own label, booking three punk tours, and getting DP’d alongside a who’s-who cast and crew of erotic artists and activists in her very first porno, Layover. Her double life as a social worker and volunteer for a variety of non-profits and art galleries keeps her honest. She is a show business impresario, an urban cowboy cyclist, a part-time hippie, a loud fast and loose drummer, and a face-melting wah rhythmn guitarist. A hopeless rambler, Horn currently sets up shop in the San Francisco East Bay and cannot begin to tell you how badly she could use a spanking right about now.

Madison Young , your kinky girl next door, is making waves in feminism one orgasm at a time with her award winning queer production company Madison Bound Productions (www.madisonbound.com) and her award winning nationally recognized art gallery and performance space Femina Potens (www.feminapotens.org).  Femina Potens is a sex positive art gallery and performance space dedicated to women and transgendered artists.  Madison the world with her sex positive performances, workshops, panels, art work and readings from her upcoming memoir “The Tail of a Bondage Model”.  Madison ‘s writings have been published in On Our Backs and Girlfriends Magazine and can also be found in the anthology “Baby Remember My Name”.   Madison has been featured on MTV’s LOGO channel program Out and About, the documentary Lesbian Sex and Sexuality Porn Today: Pushing the Limits, and was featured in Brian Alexander’s recent book release “America Unzipped”.

The tantalizing Chica Boom is a modern marvel to be reckoned with!  By day Chica Boom is a community organizer and facilitator, by night Chica Boom is the quintessential Xicana Burlesque Mistress, who will dance her way into your corazon and leave you feeling caliente!
