Erotic Author Suzannah Weiss performs

Suzannah Weiss will read as long as she can while using a hitachi.

Hysterical Literature Performance

Writer and sexologist Suzannah Weiss just published Eve’s Blessing: Uncovering the Lost Pleasure Behind Female Pain, a collection of stories and a guide for women on leading pleasurable lives.

To celebrate, she’ll be reading from a poignant passage with a vibrator between her legs, demonstrating what it looks like to live life orgasmically.

See how long she can focus on the words before the vibrations overtake her. She’ll sign copies of the “hysterical edition” of the book—with each line she orgasms on highlighted. Buy one there or order it in advance here.
