Book Description

August 3, 2010
Orgasmic springs from a delicious idea — a book of erotica that explores every possible type of orgasm. This highly original concept could only have come from the delightfully dirty (and brilliant) mind of Rachel Kramer Bussel. Oral sensations, digital delights, tricks with toys, and the old bump and grind are all featured, along with many more imaginative ways to bring a lover to climax. By taking the reins, one woman finds pleasure on top; an experimental lover discovers ecstasy with a remote-controlled vibrator; body and soul merge in multiple orgasms through tantric sex. Orgasmic covers it all, from the familiar to the uncharted, opening up a Pandora’s Box of scenarios and techniques to bring readers to new heights of pleasure.

Editorial Reviews

Review



"It’s Orgasmic indeed. Some of these stories sent me straight to the moon, and then I drifted back down to earth only to take off again on the next page. After I finished this book it occurred to me that I’ve never read anything that focuses so wholly on female satisfaction. I think men tend to steal the limelight since they express arousal and orgasm in such a visual fashion. Women know how to hide it and fake it like pros, and sometimes that works against us, because our bodies are not simple to decipher, and oh! the frustration when we desperately want someone to break our code and read us like a book. That happens in Orgasmic, and it’s a glorious experience."
—Dirty Sexy Books


"As usual, Rachel Kramer Bussel chose stories for Orgasmic
that shock, disturb, and make you think, all while inevitably arousing you."


--Kerry Cohen, author of Loose Girl

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best collections for women that I've ever read September 26, 2010
Format:Paperback
Plot Summary: "Orgasmic: Erotica for Women" has twenty-five stories in a little over 200 pages, and they all focus on one thing - orgasm from the female perspective. With infinite variety and endless creativity, the women in these stories find THE ultimate satisfaction with their long-time lovers, new partners, or illicit assignations. Some women like to be dominated, and some like to be in the saddle (literally). It's a stunning collection that lavishes all of its attention on women and the ways they come.

It's "Orgasmic" indeed. Some of these stories sent me straight to the moon, and then I drifted back down to earth only to take off again on the next page. After I finished this book it occurred to me that I've never read anything that focuses so wholly on female satisfaction. I think men tend to steal the limelight since they express arousal and orgasm in such a visual fashion. Women know how to hide it and fake it like pros, and sometimes that works against us, because our bodies are not simple to decipher, and oh! the frustration when we desperately want someone to break our code and read us like a book. That happens in "Orgasmic," and it's a glorious experience.

"Chemistry" by Velvet Moore starts with the line, "The smell of science makes me horny." After reading about what happens to a hospital administrator in a laboratory, I can certainly understand why. The heroine in "Seeing Stars" by Louisa Harte suffers on a camping trip until she learns that exposing herself in nature can draw forth her primitive side, and every soft breeze or cool drop of rain is a sensory explosion while making love under the stars. Another couple has stealth sex in a public place while watching a lunar eclipse in "Moon Tantra" by Teresa Noelle Roberts.

4.0 out of 5 stars Orgasmic Indeed October 19, 2010
By Dez
Format:Paperback
Orgasmic definitely took me a while to get into. There is no reason in particular, just a matter of mood I suppose. Despite that I really enjoy the straight to orgasm styling of this erotica compilation. Each story is written from the female point of view, generally accompanied by a heterosexual coupling. As a heterosexual myself I didn't mind, but I would have liked to have seen a bit more alternative coupling stories.

There is only one common theme in this compilation and that is the orgasmic female satisfaction. No plot or ending was like the one before it. This provides a wonderful variety that keeps one wanting to read on rather than skip pages because it is too similar. The focus is a bit on the vanilla side, so those who want something a little more hardcore should check out some of Rachel's other compilations. Hopefully however you'll be able to find at least one or two scenes that suit your interests. I know that my favorite had to do with cupcake frosting and "no one knows he's under the table" thrills while at a party.

5.0 out of 5 stars Inevitably Arousing, Indeed August 29, 2010
Format:Paperback
It took me some time to properly absorb this one. With most of the books Rachel edits, I tend to run pell-mell through them, mentally bookmarking my favorite stories and then impatiently drumming my fingers, waiting for the next collection. This one was a bit slower to take in. Is it less visceral? No, not really. Is it that I'm a guy and the collection is ostensibly aimed toward women? Maybe a little, as each story is told from the woman's perspective, but I don't think that that makes it any less powerful as a collection. I guess this collection just lends itself to savoring and slow-burn more than pell-mell running, and that's just fine.

As always with Rachel's collections, it's easy to pull some favorite stories out:

In "Frosting First," by Lana Fox, an encounter that turns into a mixture of culinary delights and secretive(?) exhibitionism sets the stage (table) for future fun.

In "All She Wanted," by Andrea Dale, a pregnant sub and her dom husband find a way to safely and delightedly get their kink on, when they add a friend and switch the roles around.

In "The Waiting Game," by Elizabeth Coldwell, a holiday cottage, terrible weather and an unreliable deck of cards create a "perfect storm" of erotic anticipation.

In "The Chair," by Lolita Lopez, a submissive woman finds delight in a specialized chair and the ministrations and "punishment" of her inventive lover.

And, as you might expect form one who edits so many great collections, Rachel's own "The Belt," about a woman and her need for a worn leather belt and the man who skillfully wields it, is also a standout of this anthology.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sexy and Thrilling July 25, 2010
Format:Paperback
This book is amazingly well-written, and Rachel Kramer Bussel did a great job collecting stories that really fit the theme of this one. If you couldn't guess, the theme is actually women receiving and having orgasms. All of the stories are written from the female's point of view, so this further leads to this being "erotica for women". The book is 209 pages long and includes 25 stories - that equals out to be about 8 pages per story. The cover and the back cover aren't very discreet, so I honestly wouldn't recommend taking this out in public.

There isn't much of masturbation included in this book. Almost all of the orgasms take place in the context of heterosexual relationships where the woman is forced to, or the male gives her, orgasms. Many times, the woman receives multiple orgasms, and the book's writing really does focus on the orgasm more than any other part of the sex. All of the stories have interesting plots that I enjoyed reading, but none of them really "jumped" at me. They're all stories that were hot and enjoyable on the first run-through, but not something that I remembered past the reading of it.

Not all of the stories are so predictable. In fact, I loved this book just because most of the stories weren't. Even though you knew the woman was going to orgasm in every story, you really had no idea how it was going to happen. For example, a submissive woman meets up with her Dominant in the middle of a crowded city street. They start making out, then he orders her to rub herself up against his clothed crotch in the middle of the street until she orgasms. Or in another story, a couple chooses to go visit some famous public places while she's wearing a vibrator in her panties in which he controls the remote.
