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 of the Best Gay Erotica 3
Labonte, Richard, Ed.
Cleis
Boys who like boys don't all like the same kind of boys, and
it's this sort of revelation that gives the Best of the Best Gay
Erotica 3 its universal appeal. Whether it's a dominating British
Punk ("Rushing Tide of Sanity" by Charlie Vazquez), or the handsome
young sailors in Steven Zealand's "Trouble Loves Me," the wide
assortment of men in these stories have one thing in common: steamy hot
sex. Not to be outdone by the characters, even the settings in these
stories have a nice range on offer: from sex on the NYC subway
("Underground Operator" by Andrew McCarthy) to a moving car in the
middle of a rainstorm in the deep south. The diversity of styles of
storytelling ranges from distancing framing devices, such as the
"renowned erotica author" recounting his adventures in Simon Sheppard's
"A Retired Writer in the Sun" to a wordless comic, "Welcome Back Fuck,"
where author Dale Lazarov and artist Drub prove that a picture is worth
at least a thousand words. A seriously sizzling collection of
hot stories, Best of the Best Gay Erotica 3 is sure to
please anyone who loves men who love men. (2010, 188 pp.)

Gay Tarot
Based on the sequence and images of Waite-Smith style tarot decks,
Gay Tarot is a modern, homosexual interpretation of those
familiar symbols. And, wow, is it ever well-done. Updated not only for
gay life, but for modern living, the images reflect and refer to the
older images in the Waite-Smith style decks. For example, the 10 of
Swords features a computer screen showing the Waite-Smith style image of
the impaled figure. Others are more subtle: the 3 of Wands features a
(presumably gay) father waving goodbye to his young daughter on her way
to school, ghosted on either side by older images of the same girl,
while the Waite-Smith styles picture a man gazing out over a bay as his
three ships sail into the future. Other significant changes: The
Priestess is now The Intuitive, The Empress is now The Protector, The
Devil is now Self-Hatred, the Tower is now Revelation (with the image of
a young man coming out to his parents) and Judgement is now Beyond
Judgement. The court cards are titled Youth, Man, Guide, and Sage. The
little white book does its best to update the meanings as the images
have been updated, albeit in the usual minimal phrasing found in LWBs.
The best part of the LWB is the "self-image" spread (which is the only
spread included, although the LWB refreshingly acknowledges that there
are many different spreads, and you can make up your own). The changes
all make sense, the images are well-drawn, and the modern imagery makes
it more accessible for those who have trouble relating the more
traditional images to their modern lives. Overall, we're seriously
impressed with this lovely deck. Two fins up!

In a Metal Web
Manning, Michael
NBM
The third in the very popular and wonderfully naughty Spider
Garden series, In a Metal Web continues the story of
Sasaya Nijan, once a slave given to the Sacred Angrogyne Shaalis to pay
off a gambling debt, now the voluptuous caretaker of Hir sexual
playground known as the Spider Garden. But from the ocean depths the
Serpentine Sisters watch, planning to trick Sasaya into their devious
plans. Michael Manning's artwork (which also graces our Blowfish
Mermaid Mug) is as sharp as ever, and the sex depicted here is so
hot the review copy kept mysteriously disappearing from our Book Buyer's
desk. Definitely recommended. (2003, 70 pp.)

The Ultimate Guide to Anal Sex for Men
Brent, Bill
Cleis Press
Not just another good guide to playing with your butt, Bill Brent's
The Ultimate Guide to Anal Sex for Men covers all the
basics of anal play and then some. There's a whole chapter devoted to
debunking the myths of anal sex as they pertain to men (including "Only
Gay Men Do It" and "Nothing Was Meant to Go in There") and another on
anatomy and exercise that mentions side-benefits of anal play (such as
the health benefits of prostate massage). Written in a very clear,
readable style, the information contained in this book covers pretty
much everything you could want to know about anal sex — communication,
tools and toys, hygiene and diet, latex and lube, analingus, penetration
and positions (for both giver and recipient, and includes info on
dildo-fucking), fisting, anal health — and some things you might not
have even thought of — extreme sex (SM, gender-play, scat-play) and
recreational drug use. The book is directed at men, but Bill Brent does
take into consideration some women's issues (especially female anatomy
as it pertains to anal sex), and could certainly be used by women as
well (although The Ultimate Guide to Anal Sex for Women
deals more directly with women's concerns and might be more reassuring
for nervous female novices). In fact, the only complaint we have about
this impressive book is its skimpy resource section and lack of an index
(though the book's chapters are clearly laid out, so finding information
is less of an issue). Illustrated by Zanne and Fish (Fish did the
illustrations for The New Topping Book and The New
Bottoming Book, as well as The Ultimate Guide to Anal Sex
for Women). Highly recommended. (2002, 200 pp.)

The Ultimate Guide to Pregnancy for Lesbians
Pepper, Rachel
Cleis Press
Yes, we know, it's not about sex per se — but sex has been known to
lead to pregnancy on one or two occasions, so we decided to include this
useful and informative book in our catalog anyway. Whether you're
lesbian, bisexual, or heterosexual, if you're a woman who wants to get
pregnant without a male partner, you'll find this book a big help.
Includes info on many aspects of pregnancy — physical, legal,
emotional, and logistical, to name but a few — from pre-conception
(does thinking about getting pregnant count as a "pre-conceived
notion?") to early babyhood. Thoroughly researched, clearly and
humorously
written.
