The new book is here
More Than a MILF is the only nonfiction literary anthology in recent years to zero in on sex in relationship to aging female and nonbinary bodies. Featuring thirty diverse and disruptive voices, these stories both celebrate pleasure and interrogate why so much shame and pain still haunt the terrain. Spicy and spicy-adjacent, real and raw, these stories join the midlife zeitgeist to ask how women and nonbinary people can age erotically, playfully and unapologetically.

Dr. Diner’s writing reads like a love letter to unruly bodies everywhere. Her work flourishes in places where the personal, political and theoretical meet, greet and get off on one another. Recently, she’s been publishing autofiction that explores themes ranging from addiction and obsession to aging solo and poly in the city.
