what can i say about this...my copy is well-worn, and has been shared with friends. what i appreciate about this is the idea that sex is fantasy...that deep dark part of your mind where anything is possible. and then you write about it, and share it with other people. lesbianism is a political thing, that is true, there is a power in loving other women, but lesbian sex is not one-dimensional. this book made me realize that it was okay to want to have sex in a million different ways with other women. not all lesbian sex and fantasies have to be vanilla. as a result of reading this book and other erotica, i have started to write and explore the fantasy world in a much bigger way. this book celebrates women in many shapes and forms. in a time where sex can be so unhealthy, we need to cultivate forms of literature like this that encourage sexual fantasy and exploration. i would highly recommend it, and when reading this, remember not to take it too seriously. it's just fantasy. but it's very very fun...

As usual, this collection delights, but this year I was pleasantly surprised by the contribution of one Sarah F. Wisby. "The Knife Sharpener" is not only wildly erotic, but is also intelligent, well-written, and moving. Wisby's biographical info in the back of the book is scant, and I haven't read anything else she's written (but am looking forward to it!) Her writing is provocative and thoughtful, and I think she has a lot of promise as a writer.

I really like the 1998 one better. This has a mixture of mostly very strange, some are average, and just a few good stories. It's really interesting what some folks might find erotic. So if you are interested in finding out about the edges of erotic, this is a good read...

I found this book to be crude with the use of very vulgar terms. I did not find it to be erotic with the use of these terms. The writers need to discuss feelings and emotions rather than vulgar terminology of the female body. A woman's body is beautiful and should be cherished. I sent the book back.

The major reason that the stories held my attention, was that they were short. There is very little literary value to the selection and the stories lack the erotia and passion that I was expecting to find. The sensuality is missing and the only thing that is appealing are a few sentences from collection's 200 pages. Unless the use of cheap vulgarity and toys is a must in erotic lesbian stories, it is quite unlikely that an average woman will be captivated by this book. Better work then this should be expected from a lesbian anthology.

This book was my second lesbian book I've ever read. And I was taught new things that I never knew were possible with a woman's body and then again some I really didn't want to know. There were some sentences in some of the stories that were sensual more than erotic. I prefer sensual over exotic right now. I guess I didn't know erotic meant exotic. I felt a little bit intimidated by most of the stories and was perplexed by many. I don't think it's a good book for a newly out lesbian like myself as it has mostly hardcore action happening. I wish I could sell it for it is too late to return but I don't wish to read it again. One story I did find quite intriging but not worth buying the whole thing, which was Water Marks by Dawn Dougherty.
