M. Christian (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: November 1, 2001

We all have them -- our own special, secret sexual turn-ons, that one you feel just a little bit nasty about, but still, it drives you wild: anonymous sex, rough sex, a fantasy lover, foot worship, cross-dressing, or an even more unusual clothing fetish ... this book is about all of that, and much more, from the simple to the imaginative, from the scary to the silly, from the subtle to the extreme. Here for your enjoyment is a laundry-list of Guilty Pleasures, presented with insight and wit. Join writers from every walk of life as they share with us their own particular erotic indulgences, their deepest erotic thrills. With humor, irony, sadness, enthusiasm, and sincerity, these writers from every edge of the sexual spectrum let us in on their own special turn-ons, sharing their own, unique Guilty Pleasures.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not for the faint of arousal, April 16, 2003

This review is from: Guilty Pleasures (Paperback)

In 27 stories by some of the best known erotica and porn writers of our time, almost every imaginable sexual attraction, scenario, or activity is described. This isn't fiction, however, but accounts of the real lives and interests of these authors (all of whom are much much risque than myself in reallife). Every type of pairing can be found but don't think this is for hets, gays, or bis because the point of the book isn't really arousal (you'll find plenty that turns you both on and off) but to share how sexuality is experienced by real people who in turn create fantasies for the rest of us. I, honestly, did not find myself turned on very much but I found it all very interesting. If you are looking for pages upon pages of arousal, look elsewhere; if you want to see how strange real sex can be, then give this book a try.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Good Read!, January 13, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Guilty Pleasures (Paperback)

This book was a great buy. The stories were smart and hot. Some were thought provoking and some were shocking. Some were even amusing. My favorite authors from the book were, M. Christian, Midori, AJ Heard, Cara Bruce and Bill Brent.

This is a book that would make a great gift, even for yourself!

5.0 out of 5 stars Insight into REAL SEX, June 11, 2002

By 

Venus Blue (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Guilty Pleasures (Paperback)

If you think HBO Real Sex is good, wait til you read what erotica authors REALLY LIKE TO DO IN BED! This book is TRUE FANTASIES, not just porn, not crafted-from-the-mind fiction. It is gritty and real and raw and alive. I can't believe how creative people can get about sex. Read this book, you will really dig it! Especially if you have a favorite author like Jamie Joy Gatto, M. Christian or Bill Brent. It rocks :-)
