Reviews

[tim · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love being nude with men. I love sucking cock. I love swallowing cum. I love licking out a man's asshole. I love eating ass and sliding my tongue as deep as I can get it into a man's ass, tasting inside his ass everything my tongue can reach. I love getting fucked in the ass. I am a queer, a fag, a homo. And I love stroking my hard dick at night while reading gay erotica as much as I love watching 2 men fuck and suck and lick on gay porn. This series of gay erotica can't be beat.

[J.M. · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was the first published book I read (i.e., not slash or a free story I found online) that was gay erotica. Some of the stories were a bit odd to me ~ coming from a slash background, it seemed beyond me why authors would write stories containing sex and little else. But a few gems stood out in the collection. One in particular I remember (I don't recall the title) about nameless lovers who wake in bed and share an intimate moment together. Overall, a good selection of stories featuring some of the big names in gay erotica.

['Nathan Burgoine · Rating 4 out of 5]

A Yule gift from a Santa who likes the naughty boys better, this book is quite the steamy bit of erotica, with some remarkably cross-the-spectrum variations of man-man eros.

The tales tackle most genres of erotica, from light to pretty heavy and/or dark, and various authors have strikingly different voices. Some are warm and snuggly, some make you wonder if leather worn that way wouldn't chafe, and some will make you never look at a motorcycle the same way again.

My friend gave me an Aragorn bookmark with this one. Can you say synergy?

I am taking this off my currently-reading shelf because it has been there a LONG time. Not sure when, or if, I'll get back to it. I won't mark it dnf because I think circumstances directed me away from the stories as opposed to quality.
