Don’t Know What To Wear?
Check out our webpage at www.sensualskills.com for some ideas. A good way to think about “erotic attire” is something that makes you feel sexy that took and obvious effort our attire screeners at the door can see. Some options include Halloween costumes, historical and fictional characters, non-traditional clothing materials and of course we love lace, lingerie, latex, and leather. There are many local and online stores who can help you find what you are looking for. What is the minimum you ask? Well the ladies must have their nipples (just the nipples) covered and everyone must wear a minimum of a thong/G-string. There will be no nudity at EROTICON. If you just can’t find anything to wear we do offer $20 tickets for those who arrive in basic club wear.

Parking
Please park at the parking garage at 7th and Walnut or use on-street parking to avoid being towed.

Photography
Please do not take any photos at EROTICON – including cell phone shots or videos. This policy is in place to protect our guests who may be more concerned about their privacy for job, political, housing or parenting reasons. This will be strictly enforced. The only photographers at EROTICON will be our volunteer staff and they will only take photos of our volunteer crew and our guest service of Polaroid photography.

Respect
Everyone who attends EROTICON deserves to enjoy the event free of harassment and unwanted touching. Our events over the past 9 years have proven relatively free of both. However if you experience or see any unwanted attention please inform an EROTICON volunteer or AXIS security.

EROTICON is a Bloomington tradition! And a great place to express your sensuality in a safe and comfortable environment, while keeping your sexuality personal and private. Our goal is to help guests become more comfortable with their sexuality so they are more likely to take care of them selves and talk with their sexual partners about risk reduction. Our great crew of volunteers have been rehearsing, promoting, and preparing for this event for months – we really hope you will enjoy yourself!

Looking forward to seeing you in your erotic finery next Saturday!!

They are seeking “personal essays and reportage” and the series features exciting, arousing, and intelligent nonfiction sex writing. (After years of Best Lesbian Erotica and other annual titles, I’m glad to see a nonfiction series!) The maximum length for submissions is 6000 words, which should be pasted into the body of an email (not an attachment, and snail mail isn’t accepted). The emails should be sent to Felice Newman and Frederique Delacoste, who are fnewman and fdelacoste respectively, both @cleispress.com. The subject line should be “BSW06 ” and you should include a biographical note and information on previously published work. The deadline for submissions is October 1, 2005 – so start writing!

Violet Blue edited last year’s edition, so you know it’s gonna be quality.
