I guess I'm just not that picky. To me, good erotica is good erotica, no other definitions or subdivisions required. Also, if an author can make me aroused about a subject that I myself am not into, that's what I consider the mark of a damn good writer. (I remember Michael Manning's story "Brahma" that gave me this reaction.) I still love stories by Pat Califia, even though she is now he. The shift in gender has not changed his ability to crank up the heat in his prose. I still consider "Macho Sluts" to be some of the best one handed reading on the planet... or at least in English. The "Beauty" trilogy still gets me wonderfully aroused, even though much of those books are written from a bisexual point of view... (There's just as much same sex action going on in those pages as there is straight.) The genders of the participans become almost secondary to the action and the emotions. A neat trick, that! There's a gay male author named Aaron Travis who's stories freak me out, frankly. Well worth a look. He takes the idea of domination to a whole 'nother level. His characters go through intense experiences, and then find their lives have been utterly changed. Disturbing at times, but very, very hot! Aakasha's writtings are also some that just leave me panting and with glazed eyes. Where she comes up with these ideas is beyond me... The great thing about reading her work is, so many of the things she writes about can be adapted to your own play, if you so desire. (the males in her life must be deleriously happy...)
