Interview with M. A. Layton

Published 2020-02-12.
Why do you write?
To recreate my most erotic experiences and to amplify them. It's so cool and it makes me super horny, not to put to fine a point on it, man!
What are you working on next?
More wankery!
What inspires you to get out of bed each day?
The thought I can return to bed and have fabulous sex.
What do your fans mean to you?
Oh, man I don't have any! LOL. I hope people enjoy the books and get off on them.
Who are your favorite authors?
Robert Heinlein, Philip Roth, Anthony Burgess, John Keats, Shakespeare, David Mamet, Tom Wolfe -- a whole bunch more! Got a lot of screenwriters I love, too!
When you're not writing, how do you spend your time?
I have my own business that I love and that takes nearly all my time. I gotta make money for my old age, which is approaching man!
How do you discover the ebooks you read?
I don't. When I search for E-books on my obsessions, I rarely find them (although I haven't been dedicated to the search.) Usually though I think what I write about gets short shrift -- it may be a small speciality taste -- as opposed to a more standard BDSM model where the sub slave just RECEIVES pleasure through punishment. I have little desire to slap women silly just to inflict erotic pain, I need there to be purpose in my domination, and it is to receive the pleasure of their eagerness to worship me, not my simple desire to worship them (which I do, but in my own way.) I need my erotic art to do a more thorough job of exploring sub slave sexuality where the sub does more than simply submit to punishment, but is eager to perform sex, eager and hungry to give sexual pleasure, not simply receive it passively as a bound object. Several times in my life I've been lucky enough to find a woman who was hungry for cock and hungry to get the cock off, especially with her mouth. This is my deep pleasure and fantasy. I don't see much of it in the existing erotic literature, but like I said, I could be wrong -- I haven't done an exhaustive search. It's my taste. What can I say?
Do you remember the first story you ever wrote?
I do. It won a pretty big award and I could never write again.
What is your writing process?
Frustrated horniness, sublimation, and the desire to have sex. (I used to act this out as a sex addict, but it didn't make me happy and it ruined my relationships.) So, instead I channel it into erotic writing, which I believe is a sublimation devoutly to be wished. I'm not saying anyone else should do this, but it works for me.
Do you remember the first story you ever read, and the impact it had on you?
No. Probably a comic book. My childhood was not a precocious one full of high literature. I did love The Jungle Book, I loved Hans Christian Anderson, I loved Robert Heinlein, and I loved an obscure series of children's sci fi/fantasy called Voyage To The Incredible Mushroom Planet. I deeply enjoyed the Tom Swift series, the Sugar Creek Gang series, and some of the Hardy Boys. There was also a horror story that emulated an American masterpiece about The Headless Horseman, but most classical literature left me cold -- I was not an intellectual or high toned reader, and never have been.
How do you approach cover design?
Gingerly and eager to get it over with. I do enjoy finding a picture however. As a recovering sex addict, I don't look at porn, and this is the only chance I have
to cull through porn to find images. The interesting thing is, I don't really miss visual porn. It was a dead end for me. I prefer a live body, despite the enormous hassle
this creates in one's life. Live is just better, no matter how I tried to slice and dice it otherwise. Internet video porno ruins a lot of relationships. Ironic, coming from me, I suppose. But I think that erotic literature is not the same kind of crack cocaine poison at all as internet porn with it's nearly infinite cornucopia of sexual fetishes to fit every single taste on earth -- and all free, for God's sake! I think internet porn has fundamentally harmed a lot of men's ability, or even desire, to interact with real women. But I could be wrong -- I'm just speaking for myself. My sex addiction was primarily to real life women for many years, and I moved to internet porn as a way - I thought -- to get healthier. But it wasn't! It actually ruined my marriage. Of course, even written porn could ruin your relationship to real live women, if one just let oneself whack off endlessly to a page. As human beings we are built for physical contact, and all the robots in the world won't change that. Having said that, I'm sure a lot of lonely people are gonna buy robots. What was the question again? LOL...
What do you read for pleasure?
War histories, mostly. I WOULD enjoy erotic literature if I could find any that serviced my particular kink -- oral sex received from extraordinarily passionate female sub slaves - but as I said, I can find very little on this particular kink, so I've created my own. I don't think anyone ever picks what turns them on -- it comes from deep inside, and it's silly to fight it. (I don't think anyone has 'vanilla' taste in sex, by the way, no one's desire is politically correct.)
I find much 'mainstream fiction' to be tedious and boring -- but then I am not an intellectual and assume that it simply goes over my head. If I had a decent teacher showing me why it was great I would be much more of a fan, I am sure. In college, this was how I learned to appreciate Shakespeare, Nabokov, Milton, Chaucer, John Donne, Keats, Tennyson and a variety of lesser poets. I'm not saying I'm not smart, I'm saying that my bent is not serious literature for pleasure, and although I can read and enjoy everything from Updike to Montaigne to Joyce Carol Oates to Didion, I'd rather sit down with a piping hot WWII history than most fictional characters. I find New Yorker style 'high fiction' to be inutterably boring - the same small worlds and small sensibilities endlessly rehashed for the same small audience. Thank God mainstream fiction is dying -- it deserves to do so, it long ago became hideously self-referential. Of course, I could be wrong.
Describe your desk
GOOFY AND CRUMBLY!
Where did you grow up, and how did this influence your writing?
Midwest. Made me repressed and horny!
What's the story behind your latest book?
Horniness. I'm a male identifying female -- I love the idea of having a penis, although I don't want to take that step. I love identifying as a man whose cock is worshipped by a woman. In my real life I've had both men and women, but I prefer (by a large margin) submissives of both sexes, and female submissives turn me on the most. But again, I need to have them worshipping my cock. Because this is hard for me to biologically achieve, I think it's sparked my imagination and my erotic literature. I've always thought of myself as male, although I have deep female traits as well. I adore Camille Paglia and feel like she probably understands me! LOL.
What motivated you to become an indie author?
Horniness!
You are a 'male identifying female' - what does that mean for your own sexual needs?
I love to imagine I have a dick and that a woman wants to worship it. I'm a power top in my own love life and I love to put on a strap on and have a women tremble before it! I think what men don't realize about women is that some women just adore cock and want to worship it! I know men complain a lot about how women don't have sexual drives -- and I think there is some truth to this -- women really ARE different in their sexual needs, and they ARE tied more to emotions for most women -- but some women have powerful (probably testosterone driven) sex drives with very specific needs. A LOT of women love big dicks on men and love being fucked by them, and a lot of women also don't give a SHIT about the size of a penis and want to be sucked -- we are a RAINBOW of desire -- and I can see why it drives men nuts! As a women who loves women, I have to say -- women DO drive me nuts, too! Women are more variegated in their desire and far harder to please in the long term -- I think our sexual desires are usually mediated more by hormones that are more diffuse than testosterone. Since I have been taking testosterone I have noticed I have FAR more dependable physical hunger for sex. And that's when I've started writing this stuff!
