As long as it's well-written I'm good. Even the books that cater to exactly what turns me on don't manage to do it with every story. I think it's part of the appeal of the anthology, because you get so many different takes on a particular subject. There's bound to be something you'll really enjoy, erotically speaking and there's bound to be others that you can appreciate but don't turn you on.

It's more important to me that the stories be well written, because I can still enjoy and appreciate a story that an author has taken the time to bring to life, even if it doesn't get me all hot and bothered. But if it's poorly written, it won't turn me on, and I won't read it.

Honestly with all of the books Naked Reader has given me, there have only been a handful of stories I've been bored by.
True, they have been great books since I have been here. I am having troubles getting one of my sisters to leave them alone after I read them. I am making her do like a library and check them out one at a time so that I know I will get them back lol.

It's refreshing to be in the company of so many who revere the word over the wank.

I've offered to get my husband pedicures, he wants nothing to do with it. Which just leaves it as time for my sister and I to go get pampered

Ha! I've tried getting him to do those too. He doesn't feel he'd be any good at it.

I was just idly musing on the difference between moneypig and a painpig (a common term in the BDSM scene.) Both are submissives--well, more or less--but the moneypig gives money and the painpig takes pain, and in fact is greedy for it.

Sorry, I don't think any of us here really want to delve that far into some areas. Still, the giving and taking dichotomy makes me think.

Given that he stole She's On Top, he probably loved that force thing. You probably have a pedicure slave right there living with you!

This week's book is about female dominance right? My husband may steal it from me. He keeps hinting that he would really like me to tie him up and whip him.

She doesn't have internet right now...in 2011!!! I have been at her to get it so she can join here but ehh, she is hard to get anything in her head. Maybe if I hold out and don't let her borrow any it will speed her along.

Personally, I really do hope you like Dream Lover.

I'm guessing you're the editor? I'm sure I'll like it. I just have to keep saving up my points to buy it.

That would be awesome! I think he might eventually come around to that idea. Problem is that as much as he loves to be dominated, I love to spoil him and can't do anything dominate-y lol

I'm curious. Approximately what percentage of the stories in these anthologies are women, and what percentage men?

I know it's a bit off topic, but I've wondered. And I don't mean male and female pen names, I mean actually men vs women.

He'd probably like it then. This month and last month had books about female dominance

Clearly we should be discussing more lesbian anthologies here.
