Rubbish, 26 Jun 2007
Don't waste your money, this book is very very poor to say the least.
One star is really one too many!!
Erotic???? No Way, 18 Jun 2007
In a word, this book is dreadful! Sorry for all those who have said they enjoyed it but this book didn't even get me luke warm let alone hot. I kept waiting for each story to start then it ended. Yes, short 5 minute reads but nothing of any substance in them to read. Save your money.
Short and Sweet, 26 Feb 2007
A very enjoyable book with bite size stories that don't waffle about with excess padding. The storyline is established and cuts to the action very quickly. It is a collection of erotic stories by different writers so each has a different style and feel about it. That is not a bad thing and on the whole most of the stories are excellent. The odd one, perhaps leaves you feeling a bit short, you feel they could have taken the bit in their teeth (or something else) and taken the story on a bit further, but on the whole it is very good. I found that it was a good book to open for a few minutes read to perk you up for the day. I particularly liked THE BOUNTY OF SUMMER by Carol Queen, that was very erotic story. I would highly recommend the book. Another book I would recommend that you have a look at, which has perhaps a stronger sexual content, is 100 PERCENT EROTICA by Suzie Van Aartman. This book could well become a classic in my opinion.
The rating says it all!, 01 Feb 2007
After reading the recommendations I ordered this book with high expectations only to be completely underwhelmed! This book wouldn't even shock or arouse my Gran. If you are a fan of Nancy Friday and some Black Lace books this one isn't for you.
Short and Sweet, 28 Nov 2004
I liked these erotic stories very much. There was something for everyone in this book (there are 35 different and unique stories). The stories are very short but they are interesting. I felt that they could have gone a little farther than they went, they were a little tame for my tastes, but they were still a lot of fun to read and I would recommend this as a gift for any woman who enjoys reading erotica or romance. And for an even more erotic read I would recommend Nancy Madore's "Bedtime Stories for Women," which re-tells fairy tales in a very erotic and exciting format.

dvd entertained & educated, 04 Jul 2007
This book has gradually grown on me to become a regular bedside drawer item, kept there for the purpose of 'firing up the imagination' when required. It sure does that even if some of the stories seem tame, it's more by comparison with others within the compilation, the average writing standard being quite high. Not as 'hot' 'hard' or explicit as some may have hoped but a satisfying read nontheless.

I read the first two chapters of this book as a stand alone story in a women's porn anthology somewhere, and really enjoyed them. They were hot and exciting, as well as being well written. When I saw that Queen had written a book, though a small one, based on that story I snapped it up. I read the book last night, and it is worth the money. It's hot, exciting, and imaginative. It's also well written with believable characters. I loved it.

Excellent on sexual politics and Sexual Freedom Movement, 02 Sep 2007
Carol Queen is a superb writer and speaker on sexual politics issues. She addresses complex issues in an accessible way and her own complex sexual history adds light not bias. This is by far the best and clearest book I have read on the sexual politics and philosophy of the San Fransisco Sexual Freedom Movement. Unlike another reviewer I found it easy and fascinating to read 100% of this book. After that I read 100% of Queen's "Exhibitionism for the Shy" and 'Pomosexuals" - wonderful books. I don't practice or preach what Carol Queen preaches - I am an observer not a follower - but I am delighted at the insight that Carol Queen provides on sex and her world. I strongly recommend this book.
Not worth it. A waste of my time and money, 28 Jul 1998
Carol Queen is obsessed with sex much more than she should be, and I don't say this as a fundamental fanatic. I grew up in NYC and find Queen's analysis of sex and sexual preferences goes far beyond the need to classify a person's feelings toward sex. I skipped roughly 70% of the book's chapters to avoid the author's incessant ramblings. Reading the book made me feel I was sitting through a horrible, post-feminist unending lecture, in which Queen makes lame attempts to identify every single sexual preference under the sun, while poorly and boringly validating every sex industry career move she has ever made. Chronicles of a Sex-Positive Culture only goes to prove how some people try to dismantle the mystical erotic pleasure derived from every exciting form of sex.

Sorry - needs reworking, 27 Feb 1998
It seems that lesbians writing as gay men do a better job of it than gay men as lesbians.Likely that lack of experience with female sexuality among the men limits their knowledge, so that they imagine that the female orgasm is as easy-to-provoke as their own. (Certainly honest accounts of women's experiences have been historically harder to come by, no pun intended, than masculine accounts and descriptions.) There were too few memorable personalities in this book. I could always "tell" that a man was writing the lesbian point of view. 'Erotica' shouldn't double as a parlor game - of which gender wrote what.
