Not a piece of critical writing about sex(uality) per se but RRW writes some of the most sensual, sublime, dangerous, delectable poetry about sex and all it has to contain — sex work, lust, queer sex, yearning, on and on.
Highly recommend the Paradise Edition if you can find it!!

well-written article analyzing cronenburg's films and contrasting them with today's sexual politics and lack of eroticism.
passage i enjoyed: In fact, we are not impermeable packages of preformed desires, importing our likes and dislikes around with us from one encounter to the next like papers in a briefcase. An erotic craving is inextricable from the ferment that foams up when oneself is sluiced into another. Not only is it impossible for us to know whether an encounter will be deflating or transformative but we cannot know what sort of metamorphosis will ensue if the sex is as jarring as we can only hope it will be.
