Kinkorama : Dispatches From the Front Lines of Perversion

Rating:
Summary: Outstanding
Review: I heard the author read and perform a piece at a local event for writers about sex, and felt I had to read more of his writing. I'm glad I did. Rarely have I ever read anything that was at the same time as thoughtful and thought-provoking, and as kinky, as this book. If you have any interest in sexuality and thinking about sexuality, don't miss it!

Rating:
Summary: Bright, thought-provoking, and sexy
Review: I've enjoyed Simon Sheppard's well-written erotica in the past, but with Kinkorama he's proven that he can not only describe hot and kinky man-to-man sex, he can ponder and contemplate its deeper meanings. This book, in other words, appeals to the reader's mind, heart, and groin all at once. A fine combination of readable style, personal reflection, tasty erotic detail, and wide-ranging description of the BDSM world, Kinkorama will give outsiders a vivid view of that world and help those of us who are part of it understand a good bit better why we love what we love, why we find beauty and intensity where we do.

Rating:
Summary: A book that brings us all under the microscope.
Review: In this book Sheppard takes you through the looking glass to face each of us with our own ultimate inability to communicate our most basic of human needs to one another. Not only will all sexes and orientations enjoy the book's sardonic tone and delicious ironies, but the social commentary that develops is worth every word. Don't be fooled by the carnal acts the author portrays, this is really a book about each of us and our needs, our need to express those needs, and the impossibility of communicating those needs to another.
