Yeah. With these full-length erotica books, you'll definitely miss the plot. It's more plot than sex which is exactly why I love them.
I think those I would read with no intention of getting horny at all, but more to enjoy the plot. I'm sure some scenes would get me going, but hmm. You've got me wanting now, lol

Ha. The irony of Alison Tyler in an Alice in Wonderland situation while discussing Alison's Wonderland makes me giggle.
Anybody else? .... Anybody? ... Cricket, cricket?

They were pretty amazing. There's a scene in there that I want to replicate so bad. Dominant/submissive couples all come together for a party. The submissives are stripped naked and serve as the waiters/sexual pleasurers for any Dominant at the party who asks. They wear collars/cuffs and heels, and attached to their collar is a little plastic box. Anytime a Dominant is pleased with them, they can award them with a good token or a naughty token. The submissive with the most good tokens at the end of the night is the winner and brings pride to the Dominant and herself.

Chocolate covered cherries! I tend to read them in bunches. But I will go back later and reread individual stories.

Hey Laurel! I've edited 50+ anthologies so far (34 with Cleis), so reading subs is more than work and more than fun — this is my life. I adore reading erotic stories. In fact, I'm so into short-shorts that I created a Smut Marathon on my blog, challenging 15 contestants (at the start) to write 250-word stories on a different theme every three weeks. (Sounds a little more complicated than it is.)

While not my personal cup of tea, that does sound like a really neat scene that I would really like to see. Not necessarily participate in myself, but to be able to see the artistry behind it (if that makes any sense at all, lol) would be really neat.

I have really become a big VB fan ... have read both the Guide to the G-Spot and Guide to Porn and was surprised by how great they were and I learned a few things!

OH, I think books are easier. Maybe it's the shy side of me, but I can discuss books from a 'professional' distance, but products, well, you've got to experience them first hand to review, right? And that means discussing my private life that I like to keep, well, private.

Well, I'm only starting to read submissions for my second anthology (Dream Lover, paranormal erotic romance, deadline July 15 if anyone is interested!), so it's still all fun, fun, fun to me! I love the variety of stories and voices and scenarios. Even with a theme like fairy tales, I received SO many unique stories!

I haven't heard of that one.. I'm not a big fan of porn though. I've watched it, or tried to, and am generally left conflicted. I feel torn between being disgusted, embarrassed, and mildly aroused. Porn just doesn't do it for me..

I do read some paranormal erotic romance once in a while. I always like that recognition of being each other's one and have an instant raw physical attraction. Hmmm.

Nope, sacchigreen is Sacchi Green, not Alison. Different Cleis editor, although I've had stories in several of Alison's books.

Where are you, Alison? Long time!

Just jump in and ask questions where you're confused, unless you're a really fast reader, lol

Alright guys. I think I'm going to head out of the discussion. I think I'm going to take a nap before I have to head into work and pack for the parents. Loved the discussion. Can't wait for the next one.

Hi E,

You're doing way better than I am!
I swear, I need training wheels — or a man behind me cracking a whip — in order to figure this out.

Oh, wait. I've gone one of those.

Worst thing that happens is that story doesn't make it in and you just keep trying?
