The Classics Professor: Create Your Own Erotic Fantasy
Readers call the shots in these titillating original books, written by premier erotica authors, which allow you to live out your most uninhibited erotic fantasies.
The Classics Professor is a beautiful woman at a prestigious New York university whose cold professional façade masks a powerful eroticism. Dr. Wendy Lake wants to seduce you, and a disastrous relationship has left you vulnerable to her advances. You're fascinated and intimidated. When the affair becomes dangerously intense, you'll have to decide whether you will submit to all her perversions, such as attending pansexual orgies in midtown; escape the pressure through a fling with a nubile university co-ed; or drop out of graduate school altogether.

I work with a man who is lacking in any and all social graces. Earlier this week he sent me an email about a BDSM sex dream he claimed to have had about me the night before. It was tacky, ignorant and unarousing. I didn't finish reading it. I promptly deleted it and have refused to talk about it for several reasons, one of them is that I don't believe he ever had this dream, rather it was a very poor attempt at making me want him. I would be more aroused if he painted the undersides of his arms bright red; flapped them up and down and chirped like a bird.
Are you wondering what any of this has to do with The Classics Professor: Create Your Own Erotic Fantasy? Well, the less than amusing, not so erotic email that I received from my co-worker reminds me a lot of this book. Both are predictable; lacking in artful story-telling and vibrant portraits. While reading The Classics Professor, I was reminded of something an editor once said to me, "Don't tell me, show me!" And it's advice that I offer here, though a bit late.
The story is by Michael Hemmingson and was written by Mary Anne Mohanraj. I am familiar with both authors from their work in Aqua Erotica; a collection of erotic short stories where water is the common denominator. I loved that collection and especially loved the stories by these two authors. I have come to expect great things. Mary Anne Mohanraj's Seven Cups of Water is simple, bare; but she crafts her words into beautiful pictures that I can see with my eyes wide open. I re-read this story and wondered what went wrong with The Classics Professor.
This is one of those books where you get to choose your own destiny. You read to a point and are faced with choices, each different choice takes you to a different page and a different story. I loved the idea, still do, just not this book. I wasn't satisfied with the variety of choices that were available. I was given the same choices, over and over again: have sex or not have sex and in the ends I could be alone, with Wendy or with Belinda.
I want to choose something seemingly benign, like a meal. The chicken or the steak? One of which gives me food poisoning. I am forced to the Emergency Department at a hospital, (I want to choose the hospital as well), where I meet a sexy female doctor, who upon closer examination is really a man. That would entertain me.
Now it has come to my attention that there may be at least one more Create Your Own Erotic Fantasy book out there. I so like the idea that I feel compelled to seek it out. I am even willing to walk into a trendy, coffee brewing, book store chain to get it! Okay, not that far, but I will totally order it online.

May 24, 2009Nifty sized little erotica book chopped up in a manner designed to take alternate story paths. Not sure how it works yet. But it was 20 cents at Half Price Books. Someday...
