This review is from: Bearotica: Hot, Hairy, Heavy Fiction (Paperback)
I keep going bakc to this book and reading it again and again jacking off every time I do. The stories in this book get my blood pumping each an every time. My two favourite sotires were Bear Trap and the Bus Bears although the Berzerker had me going as well with the power struggles in that story. Definitely every bear who likes bearporn should buy this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pleasure-affirming, August 22, 2002
This review is from: Bearotica: Hot, Hairy, Heavy Fiction (Paperback)
When it comes to fiction anthologies (erotic or otherwise), the very nature of the work makes it a hit-or-miss endeavor.

However, this collection of bear-themed erotica delivers the goods more often than not, yielding a variety of enjoyable stories ranging from the humorous ("Really Hairy Jesus" by R. E. Neu), the sleazy ("Teachin' Manners" by Jim Mason), the poignant ("Bernard and the Energy Circle" by Lance Gap and "Bear Trap" by Eric Mulder), and just plain fun ("Jack and the Bus Bears" by Bob Hay and "Honey" by David Bergman).

Another thing I really liked about some of the stories were the realistic glimpses into a subculture that exists outside the (stereotypical) gay mainstream (particularly "Guts" by Simon Sheppard and, to a smaller extent, "Golden Boy and the Bear" by Adam Gawron). I could also totally relate to "****cub and Bruce" by Thom Wolf, depicting the bittersweetness of feeling a connection to someone you can never completely have.

A couple missteps keep me from giving the book 5 stars, particularly "The Bearwych Project" by Bob Condron. Obviously written to capitalize on the success of "The Blair Witch Project," this story comes off as gimmicky, unoriginal, and quite unerotic. It also combines sex and violence in a way that I don't care to read.

All in all, I found this book affirming of pleasure, and it certainly pushed a lot of my buttons. Definitely recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Things that go woof in the night, February 7, 2003
By 
Tim (Kingston, Ontario, CANADA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bearotica: Hot, Hairy, Heavy Fiction (Paperback)
Well, it’s porn about bears (in at least one case, literally â€" no, not quite THAT way…), ranging from historical pieces to moving tales of differently-abled bear sex to sweet romantic stories to revenge/rape fantasies.

Very stimulating reading, though I did not find the cover model very titillating. Of course, as the person who whines about classical CDs with skinny hairless men on the cover to trick us gays into buying them, I may want to have my panda-shaped cake and eat it too…
