The best of the best The hottest of the hot To mark its fifteenth anniversary, the top-selling erotica series achieves a scorching new climax with a special edition showcasing standout stories from the entire series as well as never before published pieces -- plus interviews with the authors and, for the first time, a hot and edgy piece from Susie Bright herself. In Susie Bright's own contribution, "Story of O Birthday Party," she recounts her lover's elaborately orchestrated birthday gift: a re-creation of Pauline R age's classic S/M tale with Susie at the center of the action. Joe Maynard enters a love/hate relationship with a two-million-dollar sex toy in "Fleshlight." Greta Christina's "Are We Having Sex Now or What?" asks the provocative question of what defines authentic sexual connection and experience. Thoroughly electrifying -- and thrillingly eclectic -- the 2008 edition promises to open new doors with its exhilarating, equal-opportunity approach to erotic writing. Straight or gay, dominant or submissive, romantic or sadistic, Bright's selections run the gamut -- and push all the right buttons.
Erotica is very often personal preference...some of the stories were red-hot while others were so-so, which is precisely why there are so many stories out there, of every genre and circumstance. As my open-minded father used to say,"Whatever floats your boat." I have seen many other stories that would have been a better choice for the collection, but at the same time, my wife didn't agree with me; and thought of my judgement on several of the "average" stories to be the ones that she liked and enjoyed. The writing was professional, straight or gay, submissive or dominant, leather clothes - no clothes, etc., and that is my point. We all don't like the same things or we would all be driving Toyotas, eating at Burger King or only reading Time Magazine. The erotica was stimulating and my blood boiled several times. Good writing - I liked it.
Yes, pretty good

Yes, not a bad book, some stories are better than others and the good ones are good. I must admit I read it in bits over a long period, but that is the beauty of the short story genre, you can pick it up for a quick thrill when you have a few minuetes to spare. To do it justice I will give it another read when I have more time. But yes its good. Also have a look at Lust: Erotic Fantasies for Women by Violet Blue and 100 Percent Erotica
