Hide and Seek: 21 Tales of Exhibitionism & Voyeurism

Renowned erotica mavens Rachel Kramer Bussel and Alison Tyler’s book, Hide and Seek: 21 Tales of Exhibitionism & Voyeurism has a lovely, playful tone, one that really grants you permission to tap into that prurient, childlike sensuality (much like the game that the anthology is named after). The voyeurs and exhibitionists herein have a refreshing awareness about their predilections, rather than any sort of hidden or forbidden mentality. The folks in these stories know they’re being watched, (or are proud of watching), and push the envelope and flirt with sexual tension in a way that made me melt into each vignette. Though the scenarios are primarily boy-girl (and boy-girl-boy), women (well aware they’re fully entitled to ogle and be ogled) predominate. At her behest, a woman’s lover buys her very own prostitute display window for her in Amsterdam’s famed Red Light District (”Red Light, Green Light,” Shanna Germain). An exhibitionist porn starlet’s creamiest girl-girl action fantasy comes true, on camera, filmed by a female director (”Interview with a Porn Star,” Radclyffe). A hunky window cleaner’s big bulge and penchant for flashing it seduces a woman who has the best seat in the office — you guessed it - the window seat ( Counting the Days, Saskia Walker). These intense stories explore the yin-yang dynamics and pleasures of the observer and observed, sans shame, predictability, or trench coats. The only thing to expect here is lots of flirting, fondling, and jacking and jilling off.
