Lust: erotic fantasies for women - erotic book by Cleis Press Inc. - review by ThePornLibrarian

Fine, I admit it. I’m a jerk. I’ve been putting off reading Violet Blue’s Lust, a collection erotic stories for women|Lust. Erotic Fantasies for Women, because there is a picture of a boy kissing a girl on the cover. I have a huge pile of erotica waiting to be read and I have passed by this one a dozen times because I assumed it had nothing to offer me since I like girls. I’m not sure why I had such a bad attitude, I love Violet Blue and have devoured many books from Cleis Press in the past. All I do know is that I’m glad that I finally gave Lust a chance; it’s a great collection that’s sure to entice an eclectic group of women.

The reason I finally picked this one up was a story called “The Butch, The Boy, and Me” by Andrea Zanin. It sounded like a fantastic gender fuck and I had to give it a chance. I was not disappointed. Zanin tells the story of a woman and her lover, an intriguing boy who rejects many masculine gender traits and oozes sexuality, and what happens when a gold star lesbian gets a little curious about cock. Not only does the author deliver an incredibly hot story, but she does an amazing job of showing the fluidity of gender and sexuality. I think that no matter who you fuck, you’ll come away from reading this story with an elevated heart rate!

After reading Zanin’s piece, I knew I had to give the rest of the stories a shot and I thoroughly enjoyed most of them. Maria Matthew’s first published story, “Out of The Shower,” has me anticipating more and Bonnie Dee’s “Ripe Fruit” left me longing for the fruits of summer!

I’d definitely recommend this anthology. Through reading, I’ve learned more about myself and am reminded that Lust often transcends gender, a lot like love.
