An evening of smut and sexy, techy stuff!

As part of our Shero celebrations this month, we're delighted to announce an evening of aural smut + sex tech talk led by award-winning erotica author & sex toy designer Tabitha Rayne.

Tabitha Rayne has been writing award-winning erotica to tease, tantalise and turn you on for nearly 10 years. It was during a rather hot writing session that she realised she wanted a sex toy to grind on while typing out hot sex words. She was surprised to find there was nothing on the market and so began exploring forms with clay and the first rudimentary Ruby Glow was born. After trying out prototypes with like-minded friends, she pitched the idea to Rocks Off, the UK's biggest sex toy manufacturer at that time and they agreed to take it on as part of their range.

Fast forward five years and there are now several ride-on vibrators that offer a full vulva massage and Tabitha is delighted to be showcasing the brand-new Ruby Glow Blush at the Sh! Sheroes event.

Tabitha believes in orgasms for all and hopes that her sexy tales and vibrator designs go some way to achieving that. She loves collaborating and celebrating other creatives and can’t wait for you to spend time with her and her amazing sex-positive guests (see below) in this very special venue.

With erotic readings from legendary authors, and talks on sex tech, sex toys, and indy porn, she hopes you'll leave feeling uplifted, informed and a perhaps little bit excited...

Sh! says: "Tabitha is a one-woman band of pleasure; not only does she write exquisite erotica, but she has also designed a ride-on vibrator that can be enjoyed hands-free whilst reading her hot stories!"

Meet The Guests: K D Grace

For K D Grace, penning a good tale is a physical act. When she’s not writing, K D is veg gardening or walking. Her creativity is directly proportional to how much soil is under her fingernails or how quickly she wears out a pair of walking boots. She’s having a mad affair with a pair of kettlebells at her local gym and an even madder affair with a stainless steel pole in the pole fitness studio just across the street. She’s fascinated with mythology and fairy tales, which inspires many of her stories. She loves to read. She loves anything that gets her out of doors. But she loves writing a story best of all.

Tabitha says: "KD is the absolute queen of the sensual story - she's like the Earth Mother of Lust and nurtures anyone she comes into contact with. I adore her."

Meet The Guests: Victoria Blisse

Victoria Blisse is known as the Queen of Smut, Reverend to the kinky and is the Writer in Residence at Cocktails and Fuck Tales. She’s also an angel. Ask anyone. Mancunian Odd Duck, her northern English quirkiness shows through in all of her stories along with her own particular brand of humor and romance that bring laughs and warm fuzzies in equal measure. Passion, love and laughter fill her works, just as they fill her busy life. 

Tabitha says: "Victoria is THE minister of Love and Smut! All of which she shares freely - what a woman to know and have on your side!"

Meet The Guests: Jayne Renault

Jayne Renault is a long-winded smutty wordsmith who likes to fill her pages with bisexual babes, scandal and infidelity, smug masturbation, and a little magic. A good metaphor turns her on more than a pretty face ever could and she is the resident Smut Queen at Bellesa.

Tabitha says: "We all know her best at Queen Jayne and that sums it up - what an absolute legend!"

Meet The Guests: Posy Churchgate

Posy Churchgate has been writing erotica since 2016, and often shares it on her own blog.  Posy wants to expand to different genres and styles of erotic writing and reviewing and plans to become a contributor to various other sites.

Happily married and heterosexual, Posy embraces experimentation within her relationship, including something she has experienced in every scenario she creates.  “I’ve discovered that my libido is much like a muscle, use it or lose it!” Posy jokes, “so I’m ensuring I give my libido a regular work out to keep a spring in my step!”

Tabitha says: "Posy is one of the sexiest story writers I've read - she always gets my juices flowing with her delicious words."

Meet the Guests: Evie Fehilly

Evie Fehilly is a cabaret and theatre-maker from Birmingham, a graduate of theatre and clown at the prestigious Ecole Philippe Gaulier in Paris, and, in the words of QX Magazine, "hilariously unhinged". Having honed her talents on the London cabaret scene, working with creators such as Caroline Horton, Ursula Martinez, Duckie, and David Hoyle, she is now producing some of the boldest and sharpest work in London. Currently, Evie is working on a solo show about friendship and loneliness and was a founding member of Cabaret group Queerlective.

Evie wants to make people laugh and make people (well, mainly herself) feel a little bit better about the world.

Sh! says: "If you like your sex education with a slice of E X T R A, Evie is your woman. No topic is off the table and we guarantee you'll have a great time in her company!"
