What's legal in one place and time, Patrick points out in his introduction, is often forbidden in another, and some of the boys in the stories collected here would be offbase in more conservative jurisdictions. Generally, though, the stories are of older teens, and while the boys are always young, they are rarely innocent. Hustlers and porn stars turn up in a surprising number of tales, though with more than 500 pages of stories, guys who prefer the shy, boy-next-door type will find some pieces to please.

just the way I like em. All gay stories, all well written. Mostly pushing the boundaries, but not all the way. I recommend this book to anyone looking for a good hard tantalizing read.

In this day, a collection of short stories dealing with the sexual interaction between adult men and teen-aged boys is always a dangerous undertaking. But the authors approach the subject with humor, sensitivity and remembered insight of how it felt to be "of that age" ie: emotionally half formed, physically adult but restricted by the conventions of society at large.
