Review

"This is a we-did-it-you-can-too anthology of real couples playing out their fantasies." — Lou Paget, author, The Big O -- From the book cover

Product Description

The sales of books about sexual fantasy aimed at heterosexual couples prove how determined readers are to hold onto that erotic spark. But most of these books underestimate the literary refinement of their readers. Good Vibrations sex educator Violet Blue corrects that trend, showcasing imaginative, sophisticated stories to arouse and renew readers’ sexual explorations. Sweet Life collects 25 erotic tales guaranteed to inspire newlyweds and long-term partners alike.

WOW what a surprise. Generally I'm not much a of a fan of compiled erotic anthologies due to either substandard or inconsistent writing, but this book was wonderfull and very gentle for the erotic novice .....

Although I was only familiar with the writings of a couple of the contributors the stroies were well chosen to provide the reader with a smorgesbourg of fantasies. Erotic Massages, rape fantasies, having sex in public, erotic spankings, daddy fantasies, bad student fantasy, multiple parters stories are all included.

If it's everyman's dream to watch two girls getting it on this book has a sizzling little story for the girls watching two guys getting it on. When you see the title of Erotic Fantaies for 'Couples' one should easliy read that to mean 'Women' since I think the book is defintely geared towards the gentler sex getting their husband or boyfriend in the sack rather than the other way around.....

Good fun June 5, 2004
Format:Paperback
I got this to help fill a few days of just my own company - I haven't tried it couples-style. At least, not yet.

These stories are the kind I like: reasonably literate, very explicit, and basically about people being happy with each other. The stories don't rush into the physical coupling - they always give a few pages to set their scenes end engage the imagination. There's no [almost] sub/dom theme here. Almost all of the stories are affectionate and mutual. That suits my tastes just fine, and doesn't interfere a bit with a juicy story. Quite the opposite, it encourages unhurried, detailed descriptions of the players and their play.

These stories really are what erotica should be. The stories are brief but fulfilling, come across without the dark edge that puts people off. By yourself or in company, Enjoy!

so good! March 19, 2002
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
This book was more than I expected. I thought it would simply be a bunch of short stories about fantasies (it is), but the fantasies are realistic and very sweet, even though they're sexually graphic and sometimes intense. My favorite was "Please" where a woman confesses to her man how she wants to be spanked. I shared the story with my husband and we have put the book to good use. The writing is consistiently better than other erotic anthologies I've read, and the stories in general are excellent. What a nice, exciting surprise!
