He calls me into his office and closes the door . . . to promote me. He promotes me again and again. I am wild with ecstasy.

Imagine a world where all erotica was written by feminists: Their daydreams include equal pay, a gender-balanced Congress, and Tom Hardy arriving at their doorstep to deliver a fresh case of LaCroix every week.

Both light-hearted and empowering, New Erotica for Feminists—based off of the viral McSweeney's piece of the same name—is a sly, satirical take on all the things that turn feminists on. From a retelling of Adam and Eve to tales of respectful Tinder dates, New Erotica for Feminists answers the question of “What do women really want?” with stories of power, equality, and an immortal Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

Review

Praise for New Erotica for Feminists:

“This erotica made my loins enflamed with desire... to smash the patriarchy. I would gladly read a whole book of it and pay even a whole Man’s Salary to purchase said book. It deserves to be promoted as much as any high-performance woman in the workplace.”
—Alexandra Petri, Washington Post columnist

"Might be the funniest book of the year (I LOVED this)."
—Joanna Goddard, A Cup of Jo

"New Erotica for Feminists accomplishes what the best satire always should: it's smart, funny, and, most importantly, necessary. I loved it. So will you. I could have kept reading forever."
—Mike Sacks, author of And Here's the Kicker and Poking a Dead Frog

"This book left me hot, bothered, and pining for more equality. Which is generally my default setting...but still. This is the kind of fantasy that gives us what we really want: men who understand emotional labor and an immortal Ruth Bader Ginsburg."
—Gemma Hartley, author of Fed Up: Emotional Labor, Women, and the Way Forward

"We've never been so amused and turned on at the same time."
—HelloGiggles

"I love fantasy novels, and a whole book of satirical feminist erotica like this ridiculous hilarity is more of an escape than any sword-and-sorcery epic. I also hope that these broads included elves in the book, but if they didn't, I still want to tell everybody to buy it."
—Sara Benincasa, author of Real Artists Have Day Jobs --This text refers to the paperback edition.

I laughed out loud. What more could a modern feminist ask for?

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on December 18, 2018

This book is smart, witty and downright hilarious. The short pieces -- like the original viral article -- each hold their own and make the book utterly bingeable. You'll plan to read a few pages before bed and end up reading the whole thing. Do yourself a favour and pick up a copy, you'll be happier for it!

A Fun Ode to Equality!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 4, 2019

From my Instagram review:

"New Erotica for Feminists" is a world of decadent pizza-scented candles, Benedict Cumberbatch safe words, and Tom Hardy wearing "Wild Feminist" t-shirts and playing with rescue dogs. Oh, and Ed Sheeran pens an ode to Agatha Christie with "I Love Your Body...of Work".

This book is a fun play on the erotica genre and I could not count the number of times I laughed out loud or had to explain the title: "It's not what you think, it's better!"

So grab this quick read, enjoy the "salacious" stories of respect, all while watching "Salt" with Angelina Jolie over and over again, and by all means, eat pizza. And nachos, for goodness sakes, the nachos. 😂

Truly a joy to read, a great gift for you or another feminist in your life. Also, there's a great list of ways to keep the work of achieving equality going at the end of the book. First on the list? "Read"!

Equality served with a side of titillating humor

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 29, 2018

Many vignettes are laugh out loud funny, but I must say I was particularly impressed with the literary and historical sections, which are next-level in their irreverence as they also show a deep familiarity with subjects and stories often relegated solely to academia while being downright hilarious. The writing here in New Erotica for Feminists is succinct and whip smart; even the longer vignettes are quick reads, packing as many witty wallops as possible into the prose. The winking-eye tone is consistent and clear throughout, which is no small thing for a book with four authors (kudos to them and their editors). Plus, by keeping most of the identifiers gender-neutral throughout, the book makes it easy for ANYONE to imagine themselves in these "erotic" situations as all good erotica, even the satirical kind, should do.

This is a book for anyone and everyone who believes in equality. Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie said "we should all be feminists," and through its satirical prose, New Erotica for Feminists makes the case that basic equality shouldn't just be a titillating idea but an every day practice for us all.

Based on the viral piece. If you loved that...you know the drill.

This is a great book to read a section at a time.
You'll want to "binge" it because the stories are so nice and bite-sized, but resist. (Pun KIND of intended.) The satire is much sharper if you read a section a day, imo.

Oh, and don't be scared away or threatened by the title. :) There is something for everyone here, men included, and this ex-football playing Star Wars fan actually laughed the hardest at a "Scarlett Letter" story, and stopped to think after "the elevator story" so don't skip a single one!

I staged a photo that seemed appropriate with my kindle copy of the book in homage to one I actually saw on Twitter.

Hilarious AND Important

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 15, 2018

When "New Erotica For Feminists" came out on McSweeney's, I loved it. It was brilliant satire and a gymnastic subversion of some of the tropes of porn (am I allowed to say porn on an Amazon review?) and erotic fiction. Then I heard it was going to be a book and I was THRILLED. I eagerly anticipated it and when it finally arrived, I devoured it in one sitting.

This is a book that is hilarious to read. And then you read it again and you start to think about the injustices that it is pointing out and you start to want to take action! Fortunately, the authors have anticipated this feeling and have put some very helpful tips about how to do just that in the last section of the book.

I think anyone with a sense of humor will get a kick out of this book. And maybe they'll think about some things from a new perspective. Basically what I'm saying is that I think this book should be taught in schools.

Not Feminist or Erotic

Our book club read this. We all thought it was more like ZERO stars. Like reading an unfunny social media page of internet memes strung together in a book. No stories, just people saying things about how when their husbands do housework it makes them hot. Waste of time and money.
