Tonight on Cult of Gracie, I'll be talking with Alessia Brio about the sexy humanitarian effort Coming Together, the series of erotica anthologies which raises funds along with libidos.Coming Together is a series of anthologies containing short erotic stories which have been favorably compared to Susie Bright's Best American Erotica series ~ but the books do more than provide randy entertainment:

I've got two words for you for this week's Cult of Gracie show: Nina Hartley.If you don't know her from the 600+ videos and films she's made, two decades of dance tours, and thousands of personal appearances (including Oprah), then you must have been living under a rock to have missed the woman who is arguably the most enduringly popular star in the history of the adult entertainment industry.A
