Tummy Ache #05

"Made With Feeling" Tummy Ache boldly and softly explores mental health, emotional honesty, and modern culture through interviews, essays, poetry, and visual art. 

In this issue: The Horny Issue 

Issue #5 explores the intricacies of sexuality, desire, the body as sex object, site of objection and abjection. Pleasurable and political, intimate and public; horniness is increasingly difficult to locate. Within a culture that manufactures desire, monetizes attention and sells our sex back to us, Tummy Ache attempts to engage curiously and openly with wants and wanting. This issue is "dripping in abjection; sweat, piss, cum and spit." Highlights include extracts from LA Warman's Debt, Megan Wallaces' The Friction-inducing Charm of BDSM, Pêá Castro Alves' cybercruising/anticipation, Chloe Filani's Salt Bath, Harriet Richardson's The Hottest Thing That's Ever Happened To Me, Ruby K's XXX/Shame,Power,fantasy, and Aaron Moth's Fragments. Plus interviews with Stefan Dickens, Katherine Angel, Alan Sears, Vex Ashley, and T. Venkanna.
