Irresistible erotic romance for couples - erotic fiction by Cleis Press Inc. - review by Hardware

Reading through the short stories in this book, i found that many of the authors did a great job of having detailed scenarios written out, while others focused more on a back story and situation, with little erotic excitement at the end. having a book like this allows for different story telling of different scenarios so it really doesn't always feel like you are reading from the same person. If I could have one argument about what the authors wrote it would be the lack of kinky scenarios and focusing more on the golden old fantasies like sex outside at night, a rundown motel, or at the office.

The book has a large combination of different sexual fantasies, mostly revolving around the man playing the dominant role in it. The writing styles tend to vary a little between each short story that go from first to third person perspectives. I would say that this book is definitely geared more towards a woman with very little free time. The short stories make the bits and pieces easier to enjoy. The stories in the book include:

-Twice Shy - A pain fantasy that revolves around biting.
-Safe For Work - Sex at the office.
-Repaint the Night - A very drawn out story about the night and having sex outdoors.
Same as it Ever Was - Jealousy towards a husband about a possible affair that ends in rekindling of the relationship.
-Out of Control - Masturbation focusing intently on the man pleasing the woman and ends in penetration.
-Warrior - Near death experience that seemed to be written in response to Iraq. A bit boring really.
-Hypocrites - Focuses on a couple who live a swinger lifestyle but live in the public eye.
-The Pact - Man and woman make a pact at a young age to get married at 40 if they are still single.
-Exposing Calvin - Wife takes husband to a strip club and lights his inner fire to do more kinky things.
-Six Eyes, Two Ears - A husband, a wife, another wife, and a gay servant.
-Renewal - A couple kids and no fire in a marriage leads to a steamy night in a hotel to rekindle a marriage.
-The Netherlands - Sub wife, dom husband, 2 switch friends. A visit to their house and the wife does what she is told by following orders of all of them.
-Predatory Tree - Sex in a tree. Sounded kind of painful!
-The Mitzvah - Wife takes command and becomes dominant in bed during the "Mitzvah"
-After the Massage - Wife has sex with a friend after a massage in the back of his work van and lets the husband watch.
-Pink Satin Purse - A story with several scenes that comes from having the kids out of the house for a night. Romantic and kinky with toys and power exchange in the sheets.
