** Best Gay Erotica 2009



LaBonte, Richard (editor) and James Lear (introduction). "Best Gay Erotica 2009", Cleis Press, 2009.



Provocative Gay Erotica



Amos Lassen



James Lear who has written three erotic male novels selected the entries for this anthology and wrote the introduction. Here is a collection of very compelling gay erotica. Erotica is tricky to write in that it needs to have literary value as well. Smut for the sake of smut is not very interesting. This is the very best of literary gay male erotica. Erotica must do two things--pull the reader in and get him aroused. A third task of erotica is to satisfy the reader sexually and provide a way for him to find sexual release. But it is not limited to these three things even though its primary function is that sexual release. We all remember the most erotic stories we have ever read and they become ideals for whatever other erotica we may read.

There is nothing better than the short story by which to portray erotica because of its very nature of being short. We can then move onto another. There are 18 highly erotic stories here--something for every taste, Edited by Richard LaBonte and selected by James Lear, we have the best of the best. The list of authors includes seasoned favorites like Jeff Mann, Vincent Diamond and Mathilda Bernstein Sycamore and newcomers like Jamie Freeman and Robert Patrick.
