We spoke to Lucy Roeber, founder and editor at the Erotic Review. The Erotic Review was relaunched as a biannual literary and art journal for a contemporary audience in spring 2024. A cultural platform that explores desire through essays, stories, poetry and art.

We spoke to Lucy about how censorship has influenced the work she does with the Erotic Review, how she believes we should tackle this as a community and what the future brings for the Erotic Review as a creative pleasure advocate.

Some 📕 recommendations from Lucy:

1. At Certain Points we Touch - Lauren John Joseph
2. This Dark Country: Women Artists, Still Life and Intimacy in the Early Twentieth Century - Rebecca Birrell (just read)
3. LoversXXX - Allie Rowbottom

What does genuine consent culture look like practically in a nightlife setting? How do well-run venues actually implement it?
