Ultimate Gay Erotica 2009
If you're looking for a fantastic collection of gay male erotica, you can't go wrong with this one. I really love when erotica opens my eyes to new ideas or fetishes and this one definitely does. I especially enjoyed the last story, Lodestar by Mark Wildyr, which touches on the struggles of an interracial couple, yet manages to be very sexy.
Pros
A great variety of stories and a good introduction to a ton of authors.
Cons
A couple of the stories were too intense for me, but that's to be expected in a compilation.

Women on Top
Got to be one of my favorite books of all time. I had it when I was younger and my mother found it and threw it away. Now I'm all grown up and had to have another copy!
Pros
This is definitely one of my favorite books!
Cons
No cons to this one...

What made My Secret Garden so groundbreaking was that it was new - it had never been done before. These days, women's 'sexual fantasies' are discussed and described in everything from Cosmopolitan to Sex and the City. We're all more sexually open and upfront and that means the concept of a book on women's 'secret' sexual fantasies falls rather flat.
Pros
More sexual fantasies from real women.
Cons
Not as exciting or steamy as the earlier books.

Best American Erotica 2005
I wouldn't bother with this book if you are looking for jerk-off material. Scholars of literature might enjoy it for it's literary value, however.
Pros
Nice variety of stories, well written content.
Cons
Although all the stories had some erotic content, only a few were sexy enough to get me hard.

Best Lesbian Erotica 09
If you have the other Best Lesbian Erotica books, you'll enjoy this new addition very much, and it would be a great gift for anyone who enjoys erotica of the lesbian kind. Great genderfuckery, love, passion and lust fill every page of this book.
Pros
Definitely a good read, stimulates and arouses the senses while keeping the readers attention.
Cons
Some stories didn't sit well with me, just because I wasn't fond of that writing style.

Pros
Will push your buttons, the ones you like having pushed, you know you do.
Cons
Some stories may push buttons you really don’t like pushed.

Best Women's Erotica
This compilation is good for anyone looking for a wide variety of plot lines, or if you're looking for something that gets quick and to the point with the juicy sex. If you're looking for longer stories, or more of a certain genre, you may want to look elsewhere.
Pros
Wide variety of story lines, for maximum draw to women of wide variety of sexual persuasions.
Cons
Some stories are unappealing, often not enough build up (would prefer fewer, longer stories).

Best Women's Erotica 09 is good for those who enjoy a quick sexy story without too much attachment to the characters, but if you're looking for more build-up, look elsewhere.

Some stories are hit or miss, would have enjoyed longer stories.

Best Sex Writing 2009
"Best Sex Writing 2009" offers intellectual stimulation and has an inherently interesting subject (sex, in various forms). While not every piece was fabulous, some surprised and delighted me, which is exactly what I'd hope for from a collection of this nature.
Pros
A handful of excellent pieces make the book excellent rather than merely "interesting".
Cons
Most of the pieces are not explicitly (or even implicitly) erotic.

The Collected Erotica
Filled with short stories and illustrations, this is a fascinating erotic history book of sexuality in different times and cultures.
Pros
very re-usable.
Cons
very few illustrations featuring just men.
Rating:
Published:April 14, 2009
A great book for beginners and for people who are not really in to reading. Very helpful when it comes to learning about erotic literature and art. Leaves a person unfulfilled when it comes to wanting to read full stories.
Pros
Good guide to different styles of erotica, features only the 'good parts' of many stories.
Cons
Doesn't have any full stories, only excerpts.

Best Bondage Erotica 2
This book of erotic bondage stories succeeded in its goal to get people excited. It is very well written and includes a wide variety in styles and BDSM topics.
Pros
This well-written anthology of bondage-themed erotica made me very hot and bothered.
Cons
There were several stories written from a beginner to BDSM perspective.

Best Sex Writing 2006
I thought it might be titillating [giggle] but found it rather unstimulating. If you're looking for a book addressing sex, sex perspectives, sex acts and sex facts, this is it, but steamy it ain't.
Pros
It contained quality writing from intelligent writers.
Cons
It lacked steam and passion.

The Best American Erotica 2006
If you're not sure whether erotica is the genre for you, but you've always wondered -- do yourself a favor and pick up this book. It gives a fair sampling of what the genre has to offer.
Pros
Stories are very readable, and there is a wide variety of niches represented.
Cons
The only con about this book? It wasn't long enough!

Contemporary French Erotica by Women
Not a volume for the casual erotica lover due to its focus on mutilation, watersports, and tendency of heroes and heroines to die at the end of the story.
Pros
Consistent attention to theme. Longer erotic works than typically found in an anthology.
Cons
Poor writing/translation, lots of gore. Definitely misleadingly marketed.

Letters to Penthouse: The First Time is the Hottest
I could give a dozen reasons why this book isn't that great, but the most compelling proof is this: as I was reading it, I kept wanting to just get it over with. That's not the sign of a sexy book.
Pros
The stories were funny, in an "I-can't-believe-people-actually-wrote-this-stuff" way.
Cons
Anyone into alternative lifestyles would not be even slightly aroused by the stories in this book.

Lust
I think this is defiantly worth purchasing for entertaining reading, light foreplay for your brain if you will. It's well written, interesting, and has plenty of variety.
Pros
Well written, entertaining.
Cons
Not steamy enough for me, too much anal, not enough Bisexuality
Rating:
Published:January 16, 2009
The diversity of this novel will appeal to most, however, there are no m/m stories to speak of. Bisexual erotica should swing both ways.
Pros
The individual stores are not overly lengthy.
Cons
I would like to see at least one m/m in an advertised bisexual erotica novel.

Kristina Queen of Vampires Vol: 1
Nicely drawm comic, probably more visually stimulating than "in your brain" stimulating. Sadly the sex was not very kinky, nor was it super "vampirey" sex in the sense of biting, blood letting, etc. Overall, though I'd recommend it to people interested in erotic comics-- it was entertaining.
Pros
Attractive art work; some mild kink themes such as spanking, non- consensuality; engaging story.
Cons
Not enough development of the vampire mythos, not enough kink.

Herotica 6
Herotica 6 is a book full of diverse and interesting stories bound to have a little something for everyone. The stories are all written in a way that really brings you into the story, although some were a bit too long for me. This is a good book if you have the patience to read through the stories and find a few that you like.
Pros
Diverse stories - something for everyone. Lots of queer and gender bending sex.
Cons
Not good if you aren't into adventurous sex.

Yes, Ma'am
I don't recommend "Yes Ma'am: Stories of Male Submission". It might be worth purchasing if you simply had to collect every porn anthology on the topic, but ultimately, there are better books to jerk off to.
Pros
Two stories, "Secretary's Day" and "Taming the Unruly" were worth re-reading.
Cons
Quality of writing was mostly mediocre, stories did not incite masturbation.

Letters to Penthouse: Threesomes, Foursomes, and Moresomes
Stories involving the scenes of more than two people can be incredibly hot. The majority of these are just descriptions. They may be real but a lot of them felt as if they were people either practicing writing or just hoping. The book is good, but I've read much better.
Pros
There are a lot of very brief stories perfect to read to each other or as part of foreplay.
Cons
These are letters to Penthouse or the Forum. They aren't well developed stories in general.

Submission
The plot is slow, the characters are forgettable and uninspiring. There is little to draw you in and hold your attention, let alone bring you back when the book is set down.
Pros
It's short. Nice cover art.
Cons
The lack of flow. Poor plot. Characters that you don't care about.
