Summary: Best Women's Erotica?
Review: "The Best Women's Erotica," edited by Marcy Sheiner is composed of 18 erotic short stories written by women supposedly for women. It starts out with a sultry story called "Interrogation," by Susan St. Aubin, but heads down hill fast from there.

I have read short stories in English 110 at the local community college that were more erotic than some the of stories in this book such as "Service Entrance," by Kristina Wright or "Jacks Pride," by Emma Holly. It appears to be geared mainly towards heterosexual middle aged women and MEN. I was rather shocked at all of the stories geared towards the stimulation of the characters male counter parts. While there was some cunnilings in the stories, the constant emphasis was on the women pleasing their men. The stories simply were not detailed enough about the art of orally stimulating a woman, as a matter of fact in a couple of them one gets the feeling the writers are almost embarrassed to be writing about it. I found a bit annoying to say the least. As fantasies by women, for women should focus more on women. Not women going down on men in 80% of the stories. Also it had little to NO ethnicity to it. Shame on you ladies in the melting pot of America!

If your a feminine lesbian or a bisexual female looking for a hot story on a cold winters night then I would suggest moving on. As far as the lesbian community goes it had a couple poorly written "Butch" (Yes in the stories the characters refer to themselves as butches, it's not just my observation.) stories worthy of toilet humor at best. After I finished reading it I thumbed back through noting the difference between the detailed writing style on the heterosexual stories verses the couple of butch stories. That totally blew my mind since according to most surveys sex between the average man and woman last between 20 - 30 minutes according to several different surveys (...)

Summary: Excellent erotica
Review: An excellent erotica collection. Susannah Indigo and Susan St. Aubin are 2 of my favorite erotic writers, so it was a delight to see them bookending this collection with funny stories. I love to read a book like this on an airplane, because it makes everyone wonder why I'm such a *happy* traveler

Summary: Just great
Review: Excellent writing and terrific story-telling. It's clear from this volume that women really trump men in sensual, to-the-core descriptions of the sexual experience.

Summary: Update this description, please
Review: This 2003 edition has been out for quite some time and the description provided by Amazon refers to a previous edition in the collection. I hoped they were just a little behind but with the 2004 edition on the horizon, I hope that Amazon soon changes the book description to reflect the contents of BWE2003 instead of 2001 or whichever ed. this refers to.
