My name is BD Swain. I’m a butch dyke who enjoys writing queer smut – not just because it’s fun, but because sex and pushing my sexual expression is what makes me feel most alive. I am turned on by trust and by pushing the boundaries of it.
Follow me @bdswain on instagram, @redswain on twitter. Ask me what BD stands for (bdswain.xo at gmail).
If you’re looking for some fun, check out my latest project – a custom deck of playing cards featuring a different erotic photograph on each card at http://bdswain.squarespace.com.
You can find my stories in the following erotica anthologies:
Best Lesbian Erotica 2015
I used to read your erotica a lot, five years ago, when I was trying to figure out the right labels and boxes to put myself into.
I stumbled back onto your site today and I see it’s been a while since you posted much. That’s alright. Lives move in squiggly lines and tangents.
I just wanted to say you were important to me. To some confused queer kid across the world, you made a difference.
I love how much your sex reads like a struggle. Maybe I’m projecting? Sex is often a struggle for me too.
Thank you for making me feel a great deal less alone.
Thank you for giving me a slice of normality.
I hope things are going alright for you, in all the ways that matter.
Hey – thank you for coming back and checking the site out and letting me know my writing means something to you.
I’m good. I’m a little quiet, but good. Doing some private writing and seeing what comes next.
