He is the author of many books of gay sex writing, including Man on Man: The Best of Simon Sheppard, Sodomy!, Jockboys, Kinkorama: Dispatches From the Front Lines of Perversion, In Deep, and Sex Parties 101.

His work has also appeared in over 300 anthologies and magazines, including many editions of Best Gay Erotica and The Best American Erotica. He wrote the syndicated column "Sex Talk," and the online columns "Perv" and "Notes of a Cranky Old Fag." The online serial "The Dirty Boys' Club," which he wrote for OutPersonals, was published as a novel in 2012.

He also co-curated and co-hosted, with Carol Queen and Lori Selke, the San Francisco performance series Perverts Put Out! founded by publisher Bill Brent. Sheppard was openly gay and kinky, and was active in the queer artistic, political and AIDS-activist communities. With his husband William, he lived for years in San Francisco, where San Francisco magazine dubbed him "our erotica king."

Sheppard died on February 12, 2021, aged 72.

Simon Sheppard (activist)

Simon Guy Sheppard (born 1957) is a British far-right extremist from Hull, England, who runs a number of websites that promote misogynist and anti-semitic doctrines. His main website contains many articles about women, the multiracial society, and Jews, stating that they have negative effects upon western society and for white males in particular.

He has been prosecuted three, and imprisoned four times for his ideology: in the Netherlands for disseminating Holocaust denial propaganda in 1995, in the UK for inciting racial hatred in 1999 and 2000 for a British National Party (BNP) election leaflet, and again in the UK between 2008 and 2011 for publishing material on the Internet that was in breach of racial hatred legislation, after having been subject to a number of raids by police. He was released on licence after serving less than half his sentence to a bail hostel on 17 May 2011 and was banned from accessing the Internet. He was rearrested in January 2013 for breach of his licence conditions and returned to prison in Northallerton.
