Review of THE MAMMOTH BOOK OF NEW GAY EROTICA

There's that's very interesting (not just for the nice things she says about the book in general) but for the differences she finds between the world of cut writing (original or fanfic) and how gay men write about sex and erotica not just in describing the physical body (and the differences in body types that are found attractive warts and all) but what we be for in a relationship and the duration or other complexities in those relationships etc. It's a very positive review overall and it also "gets" what I was trying to do with the book especially by restricting it only to gay male authors:"I honestly didn’t know what to evaluate from this book. The very first story surprised me and the stories kept on surprising me moving me making me think. I evaluate to call this ‘erotica’ is unfortunate since not every story even features sex in any detail at all and I guess some people might avoid the schedule thinking it was just jerk-off material when it’s so much more than that. It’s about something different - what turns gay men on what they notice what they evaluate is important what are the memorable features of the encounters they undergo with each other. It’s about gay men themselves not just how they fuck and who. In the end this is an anthology about the connections gay men make with each other and how they see the sexual adorn. Even when the story doesn’t turn the reader on it’s still a compelling view into a world most of us ordain never undergo for ourselves."[ADVERTHERE]Related article:
