An Inclusive Litany
3/10/97
In her book
Erotic Faculties, University of Nevada
art history professor and performance artist Joanna Frueh sets out not
merely to study pornography, but to generate it. In a section called
"Mouth Piece," she declares: "You call me Joanna the Slippery. I
like this, my c**t wet for you. I put my finger in my c**t, in and
out, slowly, as we're talking on the bed, then to my mouth, and taste,
lick it—almost as if I'm not aware of what's happening." Frueh
claims that her writing style is politically motivated: "The erotic
scholar is willing to be sloppy as sex is sloppy," she writes, adding
that "tight" prose is something required of women by heterosexual
men, for obvious reasons.
