Our basic erotica collection; there's something for everyone here.
Angels in America: Part One: Millennium Approaches
Kushner, Tony
Theatre Communications Group
Winning the Pulitzer Prize for drama in 1993, Angels in America: Millennium Approaches is the mind-blowing first installment of a two-part play that, despite not being overtly sexual, definitely deserves a place on our pages. With AIDS running rampant and Reagan in the White House, playwright Tony Kushner takes a look at what it means to be an American, seamlessly weaving realism into fantasy (and vice versa) with a cast of characters that includes both the living and the dead. Even in the midst of sickness and self-doubt, Kushner's characters engage in dialogue that is witty, poignant, and even humorous. Tony Kushner has a talent for standing on your toes while tickling you with a feather; he keeps you laughing but you're still aware of the weight. (1993, 119 pp.)

Best Black Women's Erotica 2
Bashir, Samiya, ed.
Cleis Press
This is not your average anthology of erotica. The editor, Samiya Bashir, collected these tantalizing pieces with the intention of appealing to as many women as possible, and we have to say we find it pretty darn appealing. We are amazed by the amount of variety presented in this particular volume: the characters are young and old, strong and submissive, and of many sexual persuasions. The originality of the stories is also, well, stunning. A young woman with genital scaring learns how to pleasure herself in "Seeing Stars". Gospel music inspires something more than the Holy Spirit in "Shout". And a group of friends share each other's beauty in "Meeting Eros". To say that this is not an ordinary anthology is an understatement. (2002, 216 pp.)

Best Lesbian Erotica 2007
Taorimino, Tristan (editor)
Cleis Press
What with all the fauxbian sex being showcased as the real deal, it comes as no surprise that stories of real dykes having real sex in the tender, hot, kinky, nasty, loving ways they do in their own lives are in high demand. In Best Lesbian Erotica 2007, we get some of the hottest writers around treating us to a sampling of diverse desires that wets our panties. This one-handed read is packed cover to cover with steamy stories of lust and desire that feels so real it is palatable. It has a little bit of everything, too; kinky ladies leading their pussy cats on leashes through hotel lobbies, sweet tales of Valentines confections and sugar-filled lip locks, first time rendezvous after many years of wanting, as well as a whole lot of gender role switching, motorcycle riding, cock-sucking, bathroom stall rockin', fuck 'til you drop kind of action. With many of our favorite authors including (but not limited to) Radclyffe, Rachel Kramer Bussel, Joy Parks, and edited by Tristan Taormino, demi-god of all things sexy, you are sure not be disappointed with this 2007 collection.

Best Lesbian Erotica 2008
Taormino, Tristan (editor)
Cleis Press
If hearing the words "lesbian erotica" conjures up soft-focus visions of women gently petting one another's breasts and hair, this notable anthology is going to change all that. Best Lesbian Erotica 2008 finds all sorts of lesbians in all sorts of places, from femmey college students to a friend's mom to an Amish teenager stuck in a downpour with her friends. These women fuck one another with wild abandon, often with a "no holes barred" sort of mentality that leaves the reader breathless and sometimes more than a little wet herself. With stories by Rachel Kramer Bussell, Shanna Germain, Peggy Munson and more, this fantastic anthology is sure to tickle you just right. (2008, 254 pp.)

Best Women's Erotica 2008
Blue, Violet (editor)
Cleis Press
Sometimes, you just really need a woman's touch (in more ways than one). Best Women's Erotica 2008 focuses on stories that are written for women, with female viewpoint characters, and, for the most part, are written by women. But don't try to pin down "women's" erotica any more than that. Sure, there's an emphasis on character, but these characters are as diverse as real women: tender, strong, naive, experienced. And the stories follow suit, with sex that's rough, messy, gentle, voyueristic and so forth. With stories by Alison Tyler, Morticia Catherine, R. Gay, Lola David, Miel Rose, George Storey, Xan West, Cerise Noire, Scarlett French, and many more. (2008, 240 pp.)

Bodies in Motion: Stories
Mohanraj, Mary Anne
This latest collection from Mary Anne Mohanraj is a story suite that follows two Sri Lankan families throughout several generations. Although only a few of these stories would qualify as outright erotica, almost every piece deals directly with sexuality. Whether talking about arranged marriages, rape or being gay in a conservative culture, Mohanraj has a keen sense of character, bringing the events into sharper focus. Because these are short stories, not a novel, we get only the crisis points of these families, the moments that try their patience and test their love for one another, making for compulsive reading. Beautifully written, heart-wrenchingly realistic, these are stories that will stick with you long after you've finished reading them. Hardcover. (2005, 278 pp.)

Bottoms Up: Writing About Sex
Cage, Diana, ed.
Soft Skull Press
You know how it feels when you want to fuck someone so badly it makes you ache? When the urge to throw someone up against a wall and kiss them deeply overcomes any sense of decorum? These are those kind of stories. The writing in Bottoms Up isn't nice, neat or tender, and oh, do we love it that way. Mixing erotica, non-fiction and poetry, editor Diana Cage (author of Box Lunch and host of our podcast) creates a sizzling hot anthology full of the kind of sex, and conversations about sex, we wish we had more often. Raw, desperate and needy, these pieces will leave you sore, breathless and maybe crying a little bit — that is, crying for more. (2004, 146 pp.)

C is for Coeds
Tyler, Alison (editor)
Ah, college. Long days where your time between classes was yours for the fucking. Who doesn't sometimes reminisce about their days as a campus coed? C is for Coeds is the perfect tool for getting you going down on memory lane. With stories about watching your roommate spank her boyfriend (in Michelle Houston's "Janelle's Spankology 101") or a college girl getting mutually agreeable spankings from her professor (in Greta Christina's steamy "This Week"), there's definitely something here for even the naughtiest of readers, though there's plenty of more straightforward sex as well. A great little collection with lots of school spirit, it's sure to make you actually consider hitting homecoming this year. (2007, 140 pp.)

Stories about folks who like to see, or be seen (or both), with a good dollop of sizzling hot sex to release you from the tease.

Down and Dirty: 69 Super Sexy Short-Shorts
Tyler, Alison, Ed.
Pretty Things Press
Each smutty story in this anthology is only a few pages long, which means that it never takes too long to get down to the dirty bits you're looking for. And, whoo boy, are they dirty! These stories focus on pushing erotic boundaries — whether it's cheating on your spouse or just really needing that over-the-knee spanking. Some of these stories have a surprising amount of back-story, others are nothing but a steamy sex scene, but with 69 different stories there's sure to be something here to please you in just the way you like it.

Down and Dirty: 69 Super Sexy Short-Shorts (Volume 2)
Tyler, Alison, Ed.
Pretty Things Press
The first volume of this title just flew off of our shelves, so when we saw there was a second volume, we pounced on it. With each of these 69 stories only lasting a few pages, you don't have to wade through too much plot to get down and dirty with the characters. The introduction by Alison Tyler hints that these morsels of sexual fantasy might be just the thing to use while masturbating, and we have to agree! From spanking stories to tales of shameless exhibitionists, there's something here for everyone's wanking pleasure. (2004, 189 pp.)

[Blowfish Connection!]

From Porn to Poetry 2: Clean Sheets Celebrates the Erotic Mind
Indigo, Susannah and Brian Peters, eds.
Samba Mountain Press
This second volume from Clean Sheets is just as hot and eclectic as the first. Even if you haven't read the first one, you know this isn't going to be a typical anthology from the first story, "The Lucky Dick Club", where the protagonist uses a lottery windfall to reward great lovers from her past. Most of the fiction uses strong characters to spur on the action, creating sizzling sex scenes that go beyond your typical anatomical descriptions and into the emotional. The non-fiction ranges from the useful ("How to Look at Girls" — written by a Blowfishie!) to the hysterical ("25 Things to Do to a Tied-Down Lover") and even includes an insightful review of Y Tu Mama Tambien. And the poetry is simply beautiful — straightforward and sentimental while still lyrical and not schmaltzy. All in all, a fine collection of work. (2003, 238 pp.)

Got a Minute?
Tyler, Alison (editor)
Cleis Press
One of the great things about sixty-second erotica is that you get a lot of variety packed into one slim volume. The other great thing is, of course, that you don't have to go digging through lots of plot and character-building in order to get to the wank scene (don't be ashamed, we all do it). Got a Minute? has 60 different quickies, with the subject matter ranging from spanking instructions to blowjobs in dangerous alleys and nearly everything in between. With stories by Rachel Kramer Bussell, Alison Tyler, Michael Hemmingson, N. T. Morley, Teresa Noelle Roberts, and Shanna Germain (among others), you know it's going to be a minute well-spent.

Lips Like Sugar: Women's Erotic Fantasies
Blue, Violet, Ed.
Cleis Press
This book is full of just what the subtitle says: women's erotic fantasies. But don't be fooled into thinking these are going to be dainty, soft-focus and romantic fantasies. There's romance, sure, but there's mostly a lot of spanking (usually from unexpected sources — a police man, a mugger) and hot sex (between an artist and his model, airport security and a passenger and sometimes even between a husband and a wife). There's more dominance and submission in these pieces than you'd expect, too. Still, despite how exciting these stories are, they're packaged in a sweet little book that's innocent-looking enough to read on the subway (well, as long as no one reads the subtitle). We love the juxtaposition of a sweet little cover hiding naughty little stories underneath. (2006, 173 pp.)

Luscious: Stories of Anal Eroticism
Tyler, Alison, Ed.
Cleis Press
It's about darn time they started doing anthologies based around a sex act rather than an orientation! And it couldn't be on a better sex act in our opinion — who doesn't like stories about butt sex? Edited by the talented Alison Tyler, the sizzling stories in this anthology cover every aspect of butt sex you can think of — fucking with dildos, fucking with real cocks, finger-fucking, rimming and even fisting — in pretty much every combination of gender/ orientation you could hope for. Finally we can stop skimming through mixed anthologies, dog-earring the stories that have the butt-fucking in them. Luscious is your one-stop shop for butt-sex stories, and did we mention they're hot as heck? Definitely recommended! (2006, 230 pp.)

Maids: An Erotic Anthology
Erotic Print Society
Erotic Print Society
What is it about a young woman in an apron that gets some of us going? Maids: An Erotic Anthology explores the erotic world of maids in great detail, from both a historical and an artistic perspective. After a rather interesting introduction, the book interjects bits of historical fiction (mostly maid-centric scenes from that naughty era of Victorian erotic writing) with paintings and photographs of maids from approximately 1750 to today. This juxtaposition of erotica with naughty pictures (featuring everything from plain nudes to various sex acts to whippings to even an implied enema in one picture) is a brilliant idea, giving you something to feast your eyes on while your mind processes the hot little sex scene you just read, and we wish more erotica publishers would indulge in the practice. A must for all lovers of a woman in an apron. (2005, 201 pp.)

Three-Way: Erotic Stories
Tyler, Alison (editor)
Cleis Press
Three-way is hot, hot, hot! Whether the characters in these stories are couples adding a "guest star" for the night or have more complicated relationships, the sex in these tales is almost always breathtaking. There's a higher level of characterization in these stories, so not only are they simply good as stories, but the sex is more meaningful (though that doesn't always mean it's tender or without emotional consequences). Sometimes the most wrenching psychological scenarios make for the hottest sex, and the stories in this book don't shy away from that level of complication. And it's no wonder, with stories by such seasoned pros as Thomas S. Roche, Rachel Kramer Bussel, Alison Tyler (who is also the editor), Marilyn Jaye Lewis and others. Two fins up! (2004, 215 pp.)
