Review title: Standard gay porn and erotica
Product review: The editors, Paul J. Willis and Ron Jackson, claim that the stories in this collection "chronicle unfamiliar aspects of desire and lust." Frankly if anyone is familiar at all with any thing beyond the reproductive model of sex, I find it difficult to believe that the stories really live up to that claim. Of the stories in this collection, fewer than half, 7 in all, had characters that touched me on some level, making me want to reread the story. Most of the stories are written in the first person, the common point of view for much porn though not for most fiction. Given the point of view there is ample opportunity to help the reader connect deeply with the main character and yet most of the story fail. If you want a wide range of kinks and are only interested in the sex, then this collection may be just want you want. If you want more, I suggest you look elsewhere because there is some very high quality gay male SM fiction on the market.
