Live Nude Elf: The Sexperiments of Reverend Jen

Live Nude Elf chronicles Reverend Jen's two-year stint as sex columnist for nerve.com; she details her sexperiments, ranging from harrowing (working as a live nude girl at Wiggles) to embarrassing (fellatio school) to transcendent (reaching a mystical state through tantric sex). Along the way there is transvestitism, female ejaculation, opium smoking, and heartbreak.

In the Rev's art star world, where a young bisexual boy named Orion has sex with a jar of mayonnaise, the more mundane acts of romancekissing, buying dinner for a lover, and just making eye contact in the sackbecome rare and subversive. The experiments, orgies, balloon fetish parties, a stint as the lube girl on a porn set, the lab partners, and the late nights begin to wear on the Reverend, who craves normalcy, and the columns change their tone: Jen takes care of a friends baby, navigates yuppie bars trying to snag a millionaire hubby, and dates a silver fox, someone older, distinguished, wealthy, and simply grooving with the eternal now.

After a decade of New York City affairs, Jen unexpectedly falls in love and must decide: Does the life required of an artist and a sex columnist preclude her from monogamous romantic love?


"This is one of the most unusual sex memoirs you'll read all year, but without doubt the most entertaining."
UK Forum

"Jens candor, well-developed sense of humor and honesty prove endearing; shes a hard narrator to dislike, with enough charm for anyone with an opinion on Sex and the Citytheres enough wry cynicism and disbelieving-but-nonjudgmental attitude for lovers and haters."
