flesh and the word 3 is an excellent book about all the different nuances and possibilities of gay sex and erotics. it combines stories of the realistic tradition with stories of a more experimentalist or postmodern type. the whole range of american contemporary fiction is in a way combined with passion, erotics and obsessions. anybody interested in reading and interested in sex between men, should absolutely possess this book.

As a good book that reaches a broad range of tastes in gay sex this is a good buy for the collector of anthologies. Some of the stories are wildly erotic and some are less that desiring, but overall the book contains quality stories. I strongly suggest it to an adventurer or the collector.

The biggest criticism I can think of for this book is that it has a flavor of the 1990s. That said, it's one of the best collections of erotica I've ever read. This may arise from my love of kink--there are lots of kinky and BDSM-themed stories here--but there are some excellent and intelligent works, especially an erotic "Frankenstein" where the monster is gay and rather insatiable. I highly recommend this book for reading and re-reading.
