BedPost Confessions: Real Sex. Real People. Real Stories.

By Mia Martina

BedPost Confessions, the award-winning live storytelling show in Austin, TX about sex and sexuality which regularly draws sold-out crowds, celebrates its fifth anniversary with the publication of "BedPost Confessions: Real People. Real Sex. Real Stories," an anthology of the many stories, poems and essays performed since the show's inception in 2010.

Also included are hundreds of confessions - the anonymous audience sex secrets, regrets and desires that are read aloud in each live show and have become a runaway fan favorite part of the experience.

Selected from over 100 shows, the anthology features 35 of the most heart-wrenching, hilarious and titillating first-hand and fictional stories about sex and sexuality from BedPost Confessions' community of performers, which includes nationally recognized writers, and musicians.

Organized by year of performance, the compilation illustrates the rapid and rave response to the show, with all-time audience favorites "Fast Food Nation" by Devin Person, Rosie Weaver's "The Little Lovers" and "Coming and Going" by Wayne Alan Brenner of The Austin Chronicle each pulled from Year One.

The anthology includes personal accounts of sexual struggles and discoveries, both real and imagined, like the poignant "Anonymous Questions 6th Grade Boys Ask Their Sex Education Teacher" by award-winning poet Ebony Stewart, comedian Daniel Webb's hysterical "Aurora Whorey Alice," best-selling author Mo Daviau's "Come On Feel the Noyes," and musician Adam Sultan's "Negroni."
