Wow! A whole bunch of sexy packed into one book! My husband and I really enjoy this masterful work of eroticism; we read one story every night before we go to bed, and let's just say we haven't been getting very much sleep lately! Thank you, Mr. Jakubowski!

If you're a fan of kinky sex, bathroom fun, S & M, and humiliating sex, this is YOUR book. Not my idea of "erotic" stories. Little romance offered for my wife, and not much for me either. Found 2 stories interesting, most was not to our liking. Mostly leans toward S & M activities, so if thats ur bag, this is your book.

...but sadly it didn't keep my interest. There were perhaps two stories out of the considerably sized book that even perked my interest. It may be because I didn't feel the stories got along well enough and the sex, well, left me flat more times than not. Erotica should sizzle, not be a limp noodle...

Wow! What a read -- sex sex sex, tasteful and good. Not like "stroke books" at all. But intelligent stuff. Like Coover's "Spanking the Maid." Didn't I read that in college? And Michael Hemmingson's "The Comfort of Women" -- way cool and sexy. What else. Lucy Taylor! I love Lucy Taylor! I am a total Lucy Taylor fan! And "Sractch" by Nikki Dillon made me want to go out and work for a fashion photographer pronto!

This book was so dumb... I didn't even finish it... I got through the first three stories and threw it away! If you like S&M, this book is for you! If you like just sexy stories, don't waste your money on this one!

Novellas are an art form that needs to be explored more. There are many fine examples of this form inside this nifty chunk of a book.

man if I wanted something this boring I would have rented the movie the notebook. book doesn't show any true promise...I mean where is the excitement and drama invovled.

My boyfriend and I pick up erotic novels from time to time to keep things in that dept interesting but this one was sorely disappointing. My bf had gotten it as a cute little surprise for me and on the back is the word "instructive" so I was definitely curious. Well, I didnt even read all the stories. I completely read through the first three and each featured hardcore BDSM (as in humiliation and physical abuse) and just flat out violence towards partners, then there was the guy that purchased a nearly underage prostitute online and then the guy that went to Thailand to cheat on his wife and ended up getting gonohrea (which the author feels the need to describe in full detail). WHAT is sexy about this stuff?? Im suppose to get turned on, not chuck the book in disgust!! I will say that the very last story had some redeeming value as it was interestingly written as a sort of fable involving the "love" between the sun and the moon. That one, though strange, was kind of pretty. But all the other stuff just left me saying EEEWWW!

I should have listened to the reviews. This book is bad. The stories are WAY too long. Some of them are just over the top full of S&M, others ramble on for pages about things not even remotely related to Erotic. I like me the occasional S&M story, but this was just too much, and instead of turning me on, it left me way cold. There has got to be better stuff out there, so when you find it, make sure to buy that instead.
