Juicy erotica - a book of short stories. Perhaps I haven't read enough erotica to judge, but I really enjoyed this book - very arousing in a poetic and pleasing way.

It was a magazine in the 1980's I subscribed to for a while. It was good but sometimes a bit too intellectual and beyond my understanding at times. Out of San Francisco.
