Here is Erotica for grown-ups, for people who think sex, besides being something to get hot for, is also something worth thinking about. In the vein of writers like Philip Roth, Henry Miller and Mary Gaitskill, this collection gives erotica its intellectual due. Sex is serious--as well as funny, hot and sad. Erotica is given the depth and complexity it deserves. Bravo Susie Bright! You are a genius!

Once again Susie Bright comes through with thought provoking and literate substance that gets you off in more ways than any other erotic writing collection on earth! They don't call it "Best" for nothing. Though not all "storke and poke", this edition has balls a-plenty and is willing to take us to places we might sometimes find difficult to go. I found this batch of stories apropos of our times in a way that was strangely healing at an emotional level. Bravo!

I wasn't attracted to this book by the cover, but I'm glad I bought it. Susie Bright, as usual, is a terrific editor. You can always count on her to find and edit the best erotica around. The only downside is that these Best American Erotica are addictive. I want to go back and read all the editions I missed.
