Despite the review ahead of this, "Sacred Exchange" is a thoughtful collection of stories that deal with both the transcendental and the sexy. While there may be those that are looking for random gropes in the dark and hackneyed descriptions of body parts grinding against each other, the 22 stories of "Sacred Exchange" are in it for more than just the flesh.

The book's opener, "Come For Me, Dark Man," invokes not just a carnal image, but one of deep southern blues. A bored housewife/widow encounters a mysterious guitar playing minstrel and falls under his powerful spell. "Living In Hell" tales the sad story of a space traveler who discovers his soul mate is an alien, who (to both their dismays) can't be a complete being without the human. "F*wise" follows a pair of cybernauts as they fumble their way into a real life encounter. And "The Most Important Right Now" features a dungeon master as he works his way through the frustration of no longer being able to relate to the journey he takes his companions on.

This may not be everybody's cup of tea, but it does have more than the usual "And then s/he" mindless bump and grinds. Keep in mind that the subtitle is "Stories of Spirituality and Transcendence in Dominance and Submission" and be prepared for a much deeper experience.

A couple of good stories, but the rest were poorly written and not very sexy. Overall a waste of time & money.

This is a collection of 15 stories by the same number of authors ... Only two, like Lisbet Sarai, the editor, and Portia Da Costa are known to me and proven master authors in erotic writing. Most of the authors have some kind of involvment in erotica like Lidia Swartz who runs a millerswork.com website of stories and videos to Simon Sheppard who wirtes gay erotica in San Francisco ... of course, where else ..

I did not enjoy the book because it really really covers a very wide area of BDSM and erotica that it probably has a target market covering everyone in the world ....
