What They're Saying
Critics Review
“[A] funny, provocative primer on kink and fetish. Superfreaks introduces readers to common (and less common!) kinky practices in nonjudgmental and easily approachable language, advocating for an open, fun, and consensual sexual landscape.”
—Booklist
“Knowledgeable, nonjudgmental, and playful, Superfreaks is your guide to the universes that lie beyond conventional sex. Seldom will you find a volume more responsible in its approach that is still great fun to read.”
—Janet W. Hardy, coauthor of The Ethical Slut
“As cerebral as it is titillating, Greenberg’s Superfreaks leaves no stone unturned in this deep dive into the history, language, politics, iconography, and rituals of kink and fetish.”
—Tristan Taormino, editor of The Ultimate Guide to Kink
“Infused with good humor, extensive research, and great taste in music, this is an experienced pervert’s refreshing guide to enjoying perverted adventures. Poet and professor Greenberg has created an approachable, friendly guide to kink culture in contemporary life. I predict it will help a lot of people feel less alone in this world.”
—Tina Horn, host and producer of Why Are People Into That?! podcast
