This is a wonderfully sexy book that is perfect to read with a partner! I bought it for a long car trip I took with my girlfriend. While she was driving I read some of the stories to her and she loved it not just because it totally turned her on but because she thought it was very sweet and romantic that I would read to her these stories. Also, wow that turned out to be one hell of a hot car ride - amazing we didn't have an accident (you have NO idea!) Guys, you have to try this. You will LOVE the rewards! (I hope you guys print this w/o my email address in here because you're not getting it. No way. Too shy.)

While I did enjoy some of the stories that this book offered, overall it didn't contain anything new or stimulating. Some of the stories were poorly written and others didn't even seem to belong in this book. Next time, I'll be a little more choosy before purchasing a book of this nature.

I was surprised to find (in the biographies) the authors of several of the articles/stories were journalists, poets, and writers. I thought several of the stories were poorly written and could have been greatly improved to be more erotic or sensual if retold or rewritten by a more advanced writer. I also skipped all of the girl/girl stories which I myself can't manage to find sensual. Overall, it was ok and there were a few moving stories but I wouldn't classify this book as a do-over to keep and read again.

If only for the two stories `Healing' and `The Drainage Ditch' from Giselle Commons.

I didn't know any of the authors but the range of stories looked interesting -

The Relationship
Intimacy
First Experiences
Qualities of Erotic Moments
Anticipation
Playfulness
Humor
Physical
Context
Power
Transformation
The Forbidden
Group Sex
Anonymous Sex

The introduction by the editor is as titillating as the book itself.

This is definitely a Keeper!

Quote from jacket - "The contributors to this volume, in their willingness to extend themselves and expose some of the most intimate parts of their personal lives, have helped to promote a cultural understanding that adventure and enjoyment are positive aspects of female sexuality, and should be celebrated with pleasure and joy-not shrouded in guilt and discomfort." -Lonnie Barbach, Ph.D.

I enjoyed some of the stories in this one. I doubt if a man would have a clue as to what some of the stories were about but at least the cover may draw their attention. I, of course, would have liked to have seen more girl/girl stuff, but hey, that is just me.
