Foreword by Patrick Califia. Gentlemanly ladies and ladylike gentlemen, you hold in your hands a hot piece of history. Satyriasis is the first pansexual collection of literotica to feature two--yes, two--stories in which the god Pan himself appears. And if that weren't history in the making, it also marks the return of queer devil-child Ian Philips. Once again, he leaves no prodigal son unspanked and no udder of any sacred cow untweaked. Take a look inside and behold: Adam and Eve and Steve in a motel room; Lezzie Beddeath, San Francisco's king of cabaret and potluck hostess with the Fellini-esque mostest; a shrimp boat captain with a fetish for big toes and bigger losers; a hustler with a mad love for Edgar Allan Poe and a mad hate for dot-commers caught unawares on a client's webcam; the Alpha-Bits, A-list Bears in San Francisco's ultraluxe den; two beloved dentists who like to play rough after-hours with the tools of their trade; and Mistress Lysistrata, dominatrix to the world's most powerful men and bearing the mother of all Trojan Horses in the eight inch heel of her shoe.

Washing Bataille's Mouth Out With Castile Soap...,
This review is from: Satyriasis: Literotica 2 (Paperback)
Ian Philips is one of the finest satyrs of satire writing today. Philips uses sexuality as the lens through which he focuses his hot pink verbal death rays on... you name it. In "What the Market Will Bear," which is on my shortlist of Best Short Stories Ever, the military-industrial complex takes a much-needed drubbing. The bleak and elegant brutality of this story is only matched by its pitch-perfect ending. "The Red Thread" made me wonder whether I would ever want to go to the dentist in San Francisco. "7 Just 7 Tales of Lust on a Bed" cheerfully rips SF's navel-gazing New Narrative apart and rearranges it in a verbal smiley-face pattern across a cheap duvet. The literary fangs stay out for "Shameless Self-Promotion." Pompous authors and politicans are advised to run and hide. It's possible to be satisfied, aroused, and horrified at the same time, but few writers have the talent to inspire such a complex reaction. The stories seem meant to get the reader hot and bothered above the neck instead of just below the waist, although if that happens too, so much the better. Calling this book erotica almost does it (and any readers expecting brainless, adjective-studded fodder for self-abuse) a disservice, as evidenced by reviews of his previous book, SEE DICK DECONSTRUCT. Philips is one of a select few authors in their 30s who have the talent and vision to transcend genre and actually contribute something new to contemporary literature. His career is one to watch. It's rare to say a writer deserves a career but if anyone does, it's Philips. Now if he'd just give us a novel...

Sexy, Smart, and Sarcastic,
By Parson Brown "Reverend Brown" (Treasure Island, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Satyriasis: Literotica 2 (Paperback)
It's hard to say what reaction was strongest to this book. Was I more turned on, fascinated, amused, or outraged? Ian Philips is one of the cleverest and most sophisticated queer writers penning short stories today. He seems capable of adopting any point of view in order to make his point. I fear that Satyriasis may not get the attention it deserves because Philips demands so much of his readers. It takes an intelligent and well-informed polymorphous perverse personality to follow the twists and turns of this razor-sharp satirist and satyriast.

Smart, Tasty, and Raunchy,
By A Customer
This review is from: Satyriasis: Literotica 2 (Paperback)
Wow! I'd read some of Philips' stories in the past in different anthologies such as the Best Gay Erotica series so I knew what I might expect. I purchased Satyriasis first, and devoured it in days. Should have bought both of his books at the same time! I ran out and got his first, See Dick Deconstruct, the same day I finished Satyriasis. Both of these collections rock! He's a fantastic storyteller, weaving amazing characters, locations, themes, and a glorious array of sexual appetites, into something far more than powerful than any other erotic writer I've ever read. This is biting, smart satire, all wrapped up in tasty, raunchy fun. Get both collections!
