Product Description

Whether you like it rough and surly, smooth and sultry, or quick and raw, you’ll find it in Best Gay Erotica 2008. Here are 20 of the hottest and best-written man-on-man sex stories to appear in print this year. In “Underground Operator,” two men on a nearly empty subway platform indulge in forceful, anonymous sex that lets them momentarily forget the stifling summer heat. “Donuts to Demons” finds a self-described “rock'n'roll artfag” searching for a lover “as patient and gifted and generous as he advertised on craigslist.”

Give it up, Cougar5
Dear Cougar,

As one of the contributing writers to Best Gay Erotica 2008, I am humored by your puritanical stance on what is known as the best gay erotica collection in contemporary gay men's lit--and for a reason--its EDGE. If candlelight suppers and boxes of chocolate are what you seek in sexual writing, I suggest you check out one of the numerous "gay romance" titles that are sweeping the market these days. I read the entire aforementioned collection--and as a reader--was not put off by these loaded criteria you listed. Things that are not permissible in "real life" have the opportunity to exist in literature for a reason--it's only writing. You strike me as a grudging assimilationist type and if you--as you mentioned--refuse to check out anything from these editors in the future, your exposure to renegade gay literary culture will suffer. I suspect, however, that you are trying to tango in a mosh pit and should keep your incendiary, clean-butt, evangelical criticism where it belongs--with you. Meanwhile, the rest of us will revel in our artistic freedom as unapologetic queers.

As the author chosen to select finalists for this amazing collection, I am truly proud of all the contributions which appear in this anthology. Granted, not everyone gets turned on by the same sexual adventures but the stories are enjoyable to read and very well written. It helps to venture into any erotica anthology with an open mind and without prejudice. My only comment regarding the review posted by "cougar" is someone who chooses that as a username and enjoys books about paganism should be less critical of anything that seems out of the ordinary. Also, your comment about "racial bias" is inappropriate when referring to myself as a Latino who featured a notably racially diverse group of fine gay authors sharing their fantasies.
