From notorious kink writer Tina Horn, and featuring a diverse group of artists comes SFSX (SAFE SEX), an LGBTQ, feminist social thriller about sex, love, and torture. It's Sex Criminals in Gilead, Hustlers with a Sunstone twist. In a draconian America where sexuality is strictly bureaucratized and policed, a group of queer sex workers keep the magic alive in an underground club called the Dirty Mind. Using their unique talents for bondage and seduction, they resolve to infiltrate the mysterious government Pleasure Center, free their incarcerated friends, and fight the power! Collects SFSX (SAFE SEX) #1-7. Select praise for SFSX: "For SFSX, a jailbreak heist action-adventure, skills like bondage and pole dancing are about to become quite useful." --Rolling Stone "In Tina Horn's racy sci-fi thriller, sex workers are the heroes we always needed. It asks us: What does society look like when sexuality is policed and monitored with the full weight of a fascist dragnet?" --Playboy "Deeply relevant." --The Los Angeles Review of Books "Handmaid's Tale, 1984, and Vonnegut, all filtered through the sensibilities of queer punk." --The Hollywood Reporter "The action-filled story of an anti-sex dystopia, but with heart. NSFW as heck." --Polygon "SFSX shoves its sparkly stiletto heel right in the face of anyone who has ever tried to keep sex workers down. Tina Horn's work reminds us how important sexual freedom is to the American spirit." --Stormy Daniels "Visceral, arousing, and terrifying. Tina Horn's writing gave me goosebumps." --StoyaAuthor Biography
