Best Lesbian Erotica 2007
It only seems fair that the toys buyer should get to read something steamy at her desk from time to time in exchange for the Book Buyer getting to rock out with something buzzy in her bedroom on occasion. This go-round I spied a sample copy of Best Lesbian Erotica 2007 on her desk and had it open to the second story, feet on the table in the break room, before Heather could say, “Hey — what happened to my smut?”. The problem with lesbian sex, if I may be blunt, it that it tends to be portrayed two ways. The sex is composed of only butch bad-boys and femme good-girls who fuck like porn stars tripped up on too many years of 1950’s role-playing TV stereotypes or they read as mushy all-girl romance novels about women in the middle of their lives who leave their husbands to seek the fundamental passions they’ve always denied themselves, lesbianism buried in the almost-but-not-quite levels of their subconscious. Not that these stories are bad. In fact, they can be amazingly hot. But what of the middle-of-the-relationship stories? What of the kink-nasty hotel BDSM scene that was just waiting to happen one day? What of the pain of getting burned and the meltdown of dissolving into the arms of a new lover?
Well, in short, it’s here. In Best Lesbian Erotica 2007, you get a little bit of it all. Rough cock-sucking and tearful erotic massages, side by side, in this anthology edited by Tristan Taormino. The stories are varied, the sex is hot, and story after story feel plausible enough to happen to you, but just outside the everyday experience for it to read like fantasy. Two thumbs up from the toys buyer who has read enough bad lesbian erotica to almost make her go back to men.
