Susie interviews me


Because one of my stories is included in Susie Bright's beautiful X: The Erotic Treasury, here's a short interview she did with me. It was conducted over the vast expanse of the interweb, and not in bed as I would have preferred.

Have you ever won an award- or condemnation- for any of your talents?

I lost out on a Golden Phallus statue at the 2007 Erotic Awards, which I lusted for, but I have yet to be invited to any gala events where I might have to step onstage and make a speech.

Mostly I think there isn't an award that matches my ambitions in life. If there was some sort of Cunnilinguist award, combining writing and oral sex, I think I'd be a strong contender.

Have you ever used a pen name of the opposite gender from yourself?

No - well, "MonMouth" isn't exactly gender-specific - but a number of people who read my blog seem convinced that I am a woman. I find it enormously flattering, but it makes me wonder what exactly I would try to change if I attempted to write under a female pseudonym. Perhaps I write in a sort of hermaphroditic style?

Well, I don't know about anyone else, but I have always pictured you in lipstick and fishnets when reading your erotica.

*rubs thighs and gurns a bit, lustily*

Sisters, I scored 70% "woman" on Genderanalyzer, so the results are in: It's not just the occasional human who thinks I'm a girl, some machines think so too.

Cunnilinguist award?

Umm I like this idea.

Scarlet said...

well according to that website I'm 59% male..... Not entirely sure it's all that accurate Mon x

MonMouth said...

Charlotte, you know where to send the application if you want to get on the judging panel;)

Scarlet, this is clearly a direct challenge to you and your femininity. There's only one thing to do here: You've got to start putting up more nudie pix on your blog:)

Well, those are some pink, pretty lips you've got there.

Your writing is sexy, under any pseudonym.

I had to google 'gurn'. Must be a Brit thing. I am stil not sure how one gurns lustily. Photo anyone? :)

Who could possibly think you're a woman?? That's an interesting link -- says Sex Talk is written by a woman, but my own blog is written by a man! Perhaps I'm a bit of both. Shame I can't fuck myself. xx

Why do readers always assume male writers are female, and female writers male?

Sabina, you have to admit it all feels a bit kinkier if your gender is up for grabs:)
