Editorial Reviews

From Kirkus Reviews

The sixth anthology of erotic fiction edited by Sheiner continues the recent tradition of writing and evaluating pornography from a female perspectivewelcome reading to anyone who finds such an approach interesting or important. This time out, Sheiner has chosen to concentrate on partnerships, and in her introduction she explains that her concern was to provide an answer for the inevitable question: So how do women keep sex alive in committed relationships? All of the contributors are women, of course, but since a significant number are also lesbians, bisexuals, and sadomasochists, it should come as no surprise that many of the relationships portrayed herein are unusual. From Lesbian Bed Death (a comic medical diagnosis of a sexless gay marriage) to Three Note Harmony (mnage ... trois with a rock band) to Simple Gifts ( a wife buysand givesher husband a strap-on dildo for their anniversary), most of the entries are written in a tone lighthearted enough to save them from pomposity. A few others (such as Mourning the Peasant) plunge quickly into a deep pool of icy sobriety. There is basically something here for everyone, though, with one piece (The Adventure of Marriage) even offering a paean to (standard) matrimony. -- Copyright ©1999, Kirkus Associates, LP.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another excellent collection, August 27, 1999
By A Customer
Another excellent collection of women's fantasies and ideas from the Herotica folks, with just the right mix of play and sex and romance. All the stories are good, but Cecelia Tan and Susannah Indigo stand out in a literary class of their own.

5.0 out of 5 stars A fun and educational read, March 5, 1999
By A Customer
As a man, I recommend that _all_ men read the Herotica series, just to see what women are fantasizing about. Sheiner's outdone herself in this year's book, with hot stories about people who are actually committed to each other. I would like to live in Mel Harris' over-sexed neighborhood ("Neighborhood Round Robyn"). I would love to be made to dream by any woman as creative as Evelyn in Susan St. Aubin's "The Man Who Didn't Dream." And I would _kill_ to ever meet a woman as intense and submissive as the dancer in Susannah Indigo's "Shadows on the Wall."

Full-on hard five-star rating for all of it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderfully Hot & Sexy!, March 3, 1999
By A Customer
Herotica 6 is the best collection yet! Each story has it's own sizzle, and it's the perfect book for curling up with your lover (or your favorite toy :). I especially liked the stories by Carol Queen and Cecelia Tan (who ALWAYS write terrific tales) and also the offerings from 2 popular Internet erotica writers: Mary Anne Mohanraj (a very sensual wedding night story set in India) and Victoria Claire (a hot phone sex romp that had me lusting for a phone lover of my own).

If you've been wondering how 90s women -- straight, bi, gay, and every combination you can imagine -- keep the spark alive (or if you're wanting to add some heat to your own relationship) read the delicious stories in this book.

Highly recommended, and I can't wait for more!
