5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent collection of hard core Yaoi, March 19, 2007

First of all the summary given by Amazon is totally wrong! Come on, Amazon!
This an excellent collection of hard core Yaoi, with a feel of romance to it. As a forewarning if you cannot stomach rapes, sadism or masochism, skip this. If you are looking for perversion and creativity in sex, this is for you.
5 stories here: a pleasure dome of sex slaves, an Indian prince teaching a British commander the pleasures of the Kama Sutra, Christians falling from grace, a Japanese man loved by father and his two sons and finally an impotent man finding love. The first 4 are real hardcore filled with BDSM,
fetishism (plenty of sex toys here) and rapes. The 5th one which is my favorite is touchingly romantic with the sex somewhat toned down (compared to the others of course).
I am pleasantly surprised with the plots which turn out to be really good, some of them a trifle dark. The artwork is gorgeous too.
Forget the Yaoi hentai series offered by Yaoi press, whose artwork is just sub-standard. Get this instead!

Gay men who adore the lovely boys found in yaoi manga must eventually learn to accept the discretion of the genre. Most artists render males in sexual situations but without explicit images of male genitalia. (As in life, beauty comes at a steep price.) At most, penises are reduced to outlines or suggested by the placement of hands and fingers. This manga, however, despite its decadent themes takes the censorship to a new level. On most characters, the genitals are simply omitted! I am not the target demographic, but I prefer yaoi men and boys, no matter how pretty they are, to still be identifiably male. With all due respect to the obvious talent of Minami Megumi, potential buyers should be aware of this treatment of the "offending member."

Okay... I have been told many many things about this book. Some said it was repulsive and disgusting and filled with nothing but Smut and S&M. I was told it was such hedonism that I refused for two years to purchase it. But after two years to test my new address I purchased this book to add to my collection. But i have to say i was sadly let down. This book was hedonistic but in an artistic way not a disgusting smutty way. This story was filled indeed with men's passions and the crime and punishment that comes with those passions. Honestly it's one of hte best reads i've had so far and am upset i waited so long to buy it. But Warning NOT FOR NEW READERS! This story does contain heavy S&M and rape practices. But the stories within this book all leave the heart a little torn. Except the last one which is just adorable. The stories featured int his book do rival some heavy issues such as rape, hedonism, christianity and the Kuma Sutra applied to men on men sex. But I would recommend this book to friends i knew didn't mind rape or S&M. And to be honest I don't find this book to be smut. In fact that stories are breath taking and a fresh of breath air at once. They're beautiful and the art is amazing. if you have any questions feel free to comment back I can give more information on the book but i don't like when people leave spoilers on the main comments.
