From award-winning author Lee Hayes- an erotic exploration into the lives of African-American gay men and their desires for love and acceptance. Unapologetically raw in its approach to the sexual lives and happenings of African-American gay men, Flesh to Flesh is a gritty, pulsing view into a demographic that is often demonized and condemned. These stories provide a rare, true revelation of how gay men are faring in an age where sensuality is a major factor in everyday media and consciousness. What do gay men feel about life, love, relationships, and intimacy? For anyone who has wondered about the passion between two men, this explosive, sexually charged anthology peels back the layers to show what lies beneath modern stereotypes and homophobia. With contributors such as Lee Hayes (Passion Marks, A Deeper Blue and The Messiah), L.M. Ross (Manhood and The Long Blue Moan), and Dayne Avery (I Wrote This Song), the stories in Flesh to Flesh reveal deep emotions and a powerful commitment to life and love.

I just started this book last night and I had no idea what I was getting myself into. I knew it was an anthology - but I had no idea each story was a filled with .... let's just say it is more like a porno in writing. I may finish it but it won't be in the allotted time I had for this book - which was a day and a half.
I borrowed this book, and I wasn't interested in finishing it so I returned it.
Erotic anthology.....email buddies with 2 of its contributors. :-) A tad misleading in that its called an "erotic exploration into the lives of African-American men", because a few of the stories have Caucasian protaganists. Still, a good book, with some hot stories.
This was the first anthology to include one of my short stories. "Don't Touch" was included in this anthology and has a special place in my heart, as does Lee Hayes, who gave me my start.
