Steampunk Anthology: Alternate Victorian European and American Settings. I liked all of the stories, but none really jumped out at me. I guess Concerning the Ars Mechanica by Monique Poirier was my favorite of all of them.

The First Scientifiction Colloquium by Eric Del Carlo - (M/F) Sort of in the flavor of the movie Quill, in that it is a telling of the first "Mecherotica" written and published underground due to the risqué nature of the content of their stories.

Caged Dragons and Explosions by Helena Wiess - (F/M, Domme/Sub) Entertaining in the fact that the wife of the story is secretly the dominate in the relationship, which she does an admirable job of keeping private between them, even after one day being made aware that her husband had become employed by a benefactor who wished him to make weapons while she had been away travelling with family. She, of course, has to correct and take back control of the situation at hand.

Succubus by Elizabeth Schechter - (Mech/Male, Domme/Sub) Every one visits the fourth floor, but usually only once. Once is all it usually takes. Actually find it a little hard to explain this one...

Concerning the Ars Mechanica by Monique Poirier - (M/M) A man, going through his great uncle's abandoned laboratory effects, comes across some crates containing disassembled parts for a mechanical man. Moved by the artistry and beauty of the creation, he rebuilds and reawakens the mech, Haider, who'd been "put to sleep" for 28 years and things are much different now.

Nightingale by Jason Rubis - (M/Mech, voyeur) Years before William Sheridan had been introduced to a female chimera named Lady Jane, who was used as a toy in a gentleman's club. Now, he made it his mission to find her and save her.

The Clockwork Theater at the Midnight Fair by A.N. Cortez (Mech/F, voyeur/orgy) Interesting story that I'm not sure I quite grasped the whole but... A theater with adult entertainment, female sexually manipulated on a stage for a voyeuristic mixed couple audience. Outwardly for the audiences entertainment, but with a hidden alternate purpose?

The Beast in the Machine by Lionel Bramble - (Mech/Human Female Test Subject) A female spy in Espionage Department volunteers as a test subject for a machine that tests the stress of interrogation at the hands of hostile forces and she's ready to put her training to the test.

Silliness abounds, and it's really not all that graphic, if that's what you're looking for. However, if you're up for some steampunk with a twist, give it a try. (Buy it used.)
