David Steinberg (born July 14, 1944) is an author, editor, photographer, and publisher of fine art sexual and erotic material.

His books include This Thing We Call Sex: A Radically Sensible Look at Sex in America; Divas of San Francisco: Portraits of Transsexual Women; Photo Sex: Fine Art Sexual Photography Comes of Age; Erotic by Nature: A Celebration of Life, of Love, and of Our Wonderful Bodies; and The Erotic Impulse: Honoring the Sensual Self. His writing has appeared in such journals as Salon, Playboy, Boston Phoenix, LA Weekly, SF Weekly, Arts and Opinion, Cupido, The Sun, Libido, and The Realist. For 15 years he wrote "Comes Naturally", a syndicated monthly column on sex and gender issues. Since 1999, he has photographed the intimate sexuality of over 160 couples of a wide variety of ages, body types, ethnicities, and sexual preferences, attempting to capture on film the intimate emotional interactions of people engaged in sex.[1] His photography has appeared in 7x7, Cupido, Libido, On Our Backs, The Mammoth Book of Illustrated Erotica, as book covers for Down There Press and Cleis Press, and on a wide variety of websites. He lives in San Francisco.

Writing[edit]

In 1992, Steinberg began writing "Comes Naturally", a monthly column on sex and gender issues, for Spectator Magazine. From his base at Spectator Magazine he developed an international following online for which he continued writing columns after Spectator Magazine folded in 2005.[2][3] [4] [5] A book, This Thing We Call Sex: A Radically Sensible Look at Sex in America, consisting mostly of his "Comes Naturally" columns, was published in 2016.[6]

Steinberg is co-creator and producer of Celebration of Eros,[7][8] Associate Editor of Sexuality and Culture magazine,[9] and U.S. photo representative for Cupido magazine.[10]

Photography[edit]

Steinberg sees his work as a politically aware, erotic alternative to commercial pornography that "challenges the common notion that sex and sexiness are somehow reserved for the young, thin, glamorous people we see in advertising and on television."[11] For the most part he photographs couples being sexual in their own homes, without being posed or directed. His subjects include people of a wide variety of ages, body types, ethnic backgrounds, sexual orientations, and sexual preferences. [12][13] [14] [15] [16] [17] His photographs of people with disabilities being fully sexual, including photos of disabilities advocate and performance artist Frank Moore, have received particular praise. [18] [19] [20] [21] He is also known for his portraits of transsexual women [22] and his documentary photos at kink.com. [23] [24] A 2008 exhibition of his transsexual portraits at Seattle's Benham Gallery drew widespread media coverage when the gallery's windows were smeared with feces and smashed in an act of vandalism. [25] [26] He has exhibited at the Seattle Erotic Art Festival every year since 2004 and was named Master of Erotic Art by the Festival in 2012.[27] He was named Erotic Photographer of the Year in 2010 by the Leydig Trust in London.[28]
