Stoya’s Book Club was for people who enjoy reading, and talking, about sexuality. We covered classic and modern sexual fiction (think Georges Bataille’s Story of the Eye through Saskia Vogel’s Permission,) the suggestive to the erotic, and educational material like Emily Nagoski’s Come As You Are. When possible, authors were invited to speak about their work.
We received a number of requests over the years for a full list of books we’ve covered at Stoya’s Book Club. Some were great, some were awful, and many were somewhere in between. Here’s the list:
