Since its online debut in 1997, Nerve has been publishing brazen, titillating, and intelligent prose and photography. Nerve: Literate Smut highlights some of the webzine's most acclaimed stories and essays by writers such as Norman Mailer, Sallie Tisdale, Rick Moody, Thom Jones, and Dr. Joycelyn Elders, as well as striking photographs by Andres Serrano, Richard Kern, Sylvia Plachy, and others. Nerve's founders frame the texts and photos with original and revealing essays on the many sides of sex - from shame and habits to taboos, debauchery, and, of course, love.
Masturbation, practiced consciously or unconsciously, cultivates in us a humble elegance – an awareness that we are part of a larger natural system, the passions and rhythms of which live on in us.
