Review

“With the fetishistic insight she is famous for, Rachel Kramer Bussel has collected here a very tasty buffet of latex pervery served with sexy and literate writing.”
– Amelia G, Editrix at Blue Blood

“At its best, the written word has the power to conjure vivid images in one’s mind. In Rubber Sex, Rachel Kramer Bussel has compiled an inspiring array of dirty stories that do just that. Your dreams are transformed by the sight and smell, the very sensation of skin-tight latex. From one story to the next, you are free to luxuriate in the embrace of shiny rubber, in fetish fantasies that make you weak in the knees.”
– Christine Kessler, Photographer

5.0 out of 5 stars Opening Minds and Creating Lust, June 10, 2008

This review is from: Rubber Sex (Paperback)

I love reading erotica. All types; kinky, straight, queer, all of it.

But I wasn't sure about reading about rubber, latex, and PVC. I'd never even considered how I felt about these materials (with the exception of this one fantasy I have about black latex gloves and being fisted). However, the cover was hot, and Rachel Krammer Bussel has never led me wrong with any of her anthologies, so I was excited to give it a go.

I'm one of those people that begins at the beginning, and we all know the first story influences how we feel about a book, and Kristina Wright's "The Dress" was really hot; regardless of how you feel about little black PVC dresses. My interest was caught, and I kept reading. Alison Tyler's "Rubber Necking" was well-written, and provided some beautiful mental imagery; an excellent story!

The story that really got me? "Slicker Than Slik," by Radclyffe. This story was so incredible, I was about ready to go out and buy a jar of latex pain, and shave off all of my body hair. I could completely imagine myself in this story; it is incredibly descriptive and I had to take a quick break from the book after reading it.

For those that are into more heavy kink, Thomas C. Roche's "Butterfly's Kiss" is decadent, delightful, and dark. I loved it.

This is one of the few anthologies I've read where I actually enjoyed a good 80% of the stories in it; outstanding. Plus, it's inspired me to go hunt down a latex dress of my own. Highly recommend -- even if you're not sure how you feel about Rubber Sex.

5.0 out of 5 stars A little something for every rubber fan, June 18, 2008

By 

Gabriel (NC) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Rubber Sex (Paperback)

Whether you're simply curious, or a fan of all things rubber, Rachel Kramer Bussel's "Rubber Sex" has something to offer you. The stories collected with in, range from flirtatious and experimental, to dark and highly erotic.

The reader is thrown directly into the mix, from the very first story, "The Dress." An erotic and sensual adventure of a woman and her PVC dress, "The Dress" sets the tone for what this anthology has to offer. Stories to excite your imagination, and offer you and a partner, new ideas, or simply the ability to spice up your latex passion.

Stories such as Andrea Dale's, "Bathing Beauty", shows the true depth of this collection, offering an entirely different take on how and why people enjoy rubber. While Bussel's own, "Tight Squeeze", is every boy toys fantasy, wanting desperately to please and be pleased by their Mistress.

Throughout every story, rubber is the main theme, but don't let that sway you one way or the other. Whether you're a fan of rubber or simply curious about what it means, the stories collected in this anthology have a way of playing within that theme, while still offering something to every fan of erotica.

This review is from: Rubber Sex (Paperback)

I was so glad to see a broad mix of stories and even more excited to see erotica that included straight, Bi and gay stories. I've been a fan of Rachel's books for a while and this one is right up there with them. If you are into rubber then you will love Rubber Sex.
