Big Book of Orgasms: 69 Sexy Stories Reviews
-
Let me begin by confessing that I don't generally find orgasms erotic. I'd rather read about obsessive, irresistible desire than its fulfillment. I often find what's going on in lovers' minds far more arousing than anything involving their bodies. In some sense, climaxes are anti-climactic, the predictable denouement of practically every story that has ever appeared in a Cleis anthology.
Hence, I approached this massive collection of very short erotic tales – none longer than 1200 words – with a certain degree of wariness. I know from personal experience how difficult it is to compress three-dimensional characters, a recognizable conflict, a narrative arc and a resolution into a mere three or four pages. I expected a parade of shallow sexual scenarios, each one leading inexorably to the money shot. When I opened this book of “sexy stories”, I feared I'd find far more emphasis on the sex than on the story.
I wasn't completely wrong. At least fifty percent of the contributions focus almost purely on the physical, albeit in a wide ranging set of circumstances. I forgot these stories pretty much as soon as I'd read them, though I'm sure there are readers who'll have a different – probably more physical – reaction. Among these somewhat commonplace offerings, though, I discovered more than a few gems: stories with an actual plot, dealing with real problems; stories whose originality made me smile or ache; stories where the language made me gasp in admiration; stories with truth and heart.
Possibly my favorite tale in the book was “Matinee” by Suleikha Snyder. A college student in America returns to India to find herself smothered by the constraints of traditional culture. A young man named Azad (which means “freedom”) greets her in the park, where she is walking with her scandalized cousins. In defiance of society's standards, she allows Azad to her to the movies and there, in the darkened theater, with him barely touching her arm, she finds herself drowning in arousal. “Her knees were covered,” Ms. Snyder writes, “but everything else was stripped totally naked.” Rarely have I read such vivid evocation of youthful lust.
Preston Avery's “White” is another standout. “When I make you come, what color is it?” asks the narrator's wife. As she teases and torments him, every nuance of sensation takes on a hue. “All I want to do is come, and I am red with it. Orange, yellow then blazing electric blue.” The story is as gorgeously erotic as a Georgia O'Keefe painting.
“After the Funeral” by Jeanette Grey, introduces two complex and troubled characters, with a sexual history we can only guess. As they come together, awkward and angry, driven by grief and loneliness, they find a kind of transcendence, at least for the moment. Who are this woman and man? What's their relationship, to one another and to the deceased? Who died and under what circumstances? The unanswered questions only add depth to the tale.
If I were asked to choose the one story that personally turned me on the most, I think I'd pick “The Morning After” by David Salcido. This luscious, pan-sexual, post-wedding menage is cleverly designed to keep the reader guessing as long as possible about the gender of the narrator. But then, that issue really doesn't matter in Mr. Salcido's story-world, where everyone gets a generous piece of everyone else.
Tenille Brown and Logan Zachary win special accolades for originality. Ms. Brown's contribution, “In Her Hands”, features a couple of homeless people as the main characters – definitely not your standard erotica protagonists. When Randall gets picked up by a wealthy woman who feeds and clothes him in return for sex, Button decides she needs to take charge in order to get him back. Mr. Zachary's “Remote Control” is an outrageous fantasy about a device that can alter reality in whatever way its operator desires. I won't spoil the fun by revealing just what desires get fulfilled.
I've already confessed that I find the mind more arousing than the body. Hence, I loved Xan West's tale
“Baxter's Boy”. The narrator, a high femme lesbian, is obsessed by Baxter, a legendary FTM transsexual interested only in males. Her extreme encounter with Baxter and his submissive boy takes place entirely in her imagination, but that does not render the effect any less real.
I don't have time or space to provide details on every story I marked as exceptional. Others included:
“How You Christen a Bed” by Thomas S. Roche, a wise and humorous examination of incompatibility, told in evocative, clever prose;
“Her Lover is a Flame” by Cecilia Tan, an exquisite prose poem in less than three hundred words;
“Payback” by Emerald, sexual second chances offering a pleasing symmetry;
“Pushing Boundaries on Public Transit” by Victoria Blisse, smutty, heartfelt fun that will leave you smiling;
“Icing on the Cake” by Lula Lisbon, a filthy femdom snippet with kinks that will make squick some and make others squirm;
“Meeting Cute” by Vanessa Madison, another steamy movie house flirtation, featuring red licorice twizzlers;
“Queer for Mike” by Shane Allison, a sad, believable story about taking what you can get;
“The Park” by Elise Hepner, ultrashort, enigmatic and evocative, set in an after hours amusement park;
“Meeting Myself” by Anya Levin, a sincere and moving look at a widow reclaiming desire after her husband's death;
Even with all these excellent stories, I found myself getting a bit burnt out by The Big Book of Orgasms. Then, a few pages from the end of the collection, I encountered the astonishing “Should You Ever Be Allowed to Feel This Good?” by Lillian Ann Slugocki. This story is in a category by itself, so powerful that it's scary. I read it over three times. I'm sure I'll got back and read it again.
“It's not easy knowing that tonight is the night – the mask of Lilith, like a shadow on the bed.”
“When he was gone, I finally looked at myself – and saw that my legs were tattooed up and down with bite marks. As if a rabid dog or a wolf had gotten control of me, sunk his incisors deep into my flesh, and wouldn't let go. I needed a rabies shot, antibiotics and cold compresses. I needed to see a doctor, a shrink, a shaman, a priest. I needed to call my mother but she was dead.”
It's almost worth buying the book, just to read this story.
Someone who has read and reviewed as much erotica as I have tends to get a bit jaded. I don't necessarily expect much. I'm happy to report that I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of many of the sexy stories in the The Big Book of Orgasms. Meanwhile, if you're more of an orgasm fan than I am, this collection offers an almost inexhaustible supply.

Rachel Kramer Bussel is fast becoming one of the most well known and most respected voices in literary erotica and it's easy to see why. With many years of experience both writing and editing the world's most arousing and illicit erotica, Rachel is well qualified to decide the combinations of words and passages which will evoke strong mental and physical reactions from her readers.
The Big Book of Orgasms is a culmination of Rachel Kramer Bussel's experience and skill in the world of erotic writing. This light weight, thick tome of orgasmic goodness is not only perfectly sized physically to be a regular bedtime companion, it's easy to slip into a handbag or glove compartment for a delightful orgasmic interlude wherever you may be, at whatever time of day.
The cover announces, tongue in cheek, contents of 69 sexy stories edited by Rachel Kramer Bussel. The world's best erotic authors as well as a sprinkling of newly discovered talent have provided short stories of no more than 1200 words in length. These stories are shorter than I am used to, even in an anthology of short stories, but I found this length a fantastic size to give you that alluring taste of arousal, sparked by the author's imagination.
The book begins unapologetically with a hot and heavy scene including lesbian cuckoldry. If you're in any way shy about what may be untapped sexual fantasies, you're going to have them boldly revealed before this book is through with you. So get used to it.
There are control and power exchanges, sexual experimentation between people of all sexualities and relationship statuses, as well as more unusual and unique aspects of the human psyche that I hadn't previously considered, for all my years in the sex blogging, fetish and adult product review scene.
The Big Book of orgasms promises to give you a brief snapshot of 69 different types of orgasm and it doesn't disappoint. This book is the erotic literary equivalent of a TV clip show, just showing you the highlights from your favourite shows. The bits you actually watch the programmes for in the first place.
If you've ever been guilty of flicking through a few pages to get to the bean-flicking action, you won't need to skip any of the pages in this book. Every single page seems to contain a new, inspiring and erotic tidbit to get your juices flowing and start the journey towards your very own orgasm, however you choose to get there.
There's no possible way for me to cover each scene from the book here and I wouldn't ruin it for you anyway. I am bursting to share the delights of this book with the world but there's simply too much to say. You'll just have to grab a copy for yourself.
If you enjoy orgasms and treasure the stimulation a well written erotic story can provide, you need the Big Book of Orgasms edited by Rachel Kramer Bussel.
Every bedside table should be adorned with a copy!

Orgasms for everyone! Quickies galore! This naughty anthology is full of “one-handed reading”: sexy stories that cover a broad range of fantasies, fetishes, kinks, and experiences, each story suitable for a single sitting.
The Big Book of Orgasms is a must own collection for any erotica fan. The stories are well written and vary in taste and tone. There’s heat, humor, and mind-blowing, creative sex. For me, this book has found its place in the “bedtime story” pile, and I know I’ll enjoy reading randomly picking a story and reading out loud to my partner.
*I received a complimentary copy of the book in exchange for a fair and honest review. -
In the foreword of this hefty anthology, Barbara Carrellas writes:
“Orgasm is an adventure, a surprise. No matter how many orgasms you’ve had—or how few—the potential for new and different orgasms is just one erotic encounter away.”
This collection of short, powerful stories, each under 1,200 words, shows how many different routes there are to the ultimate goal of climax and release. There are stories by relatively well-known erotic writers and by newbies in the field, but each of these stories is a polished gem of condensed excitement. Here are stories about long-married couples reviving the spark of their honeymoon, sex workers and their clients, same-sex couples, gender-bending threesomes, near-strangers getting to know each other in ways that will never be repeated, and solitary masturbators.
In “Hard Knocks” by Malin James, a woman tells her boyfriend: “You absolutely cannot make someone come just by spanking them.” He responds to this challenge by showing her that spanking alone, done with enough skill, can indeed lead to orgasm. In “Book Lover” by Donna George Storey, a woman has a tryst in a bookstore, where she is pushed over the edge by the smell of a well-used book. In “Beer and Orgasms” by Jeremy Edwards, a woman is only able to let herself orgasm when she can no longer resist the urge to pee; her understanding boyfriend arranges for her to do this without ruining the furniture.
Several of these stories involve the orgasmic stimulus of music. In “All You Do Is Play” by Annabeth Leong, a clever woman shows her musician lover how to “play” in more than one sense. In “Piano Man” by A.M. Hartnett, a male musician brings a female fan to ecstasy after his performance before they have even left the club. In the more over-the-top “By the Beat” by T. Fox Dunham, “Mr. Wolf” helps “Ms. Peacock” to reach orgasm with the help of a metronome, a relentless device that can’t lose its rhythm.
The editor, Rachel Kramer Bussel, has included her alarmingly-titled story, “I’m on Fire.” In her usual style, however, the author provides a pleasurable surprise for the narrator as well as the reader when a resourceful female lover uses hot wax and actual fire to excite without harming the woman she loves. Cecilia Tan’s very short story, “Her Lover is a Flame,” uses fire as a parallel metaphor.
A sampling of other contributors includes (in alphabetical order) Shane Allison, Victoria Blisse, Tenille Brown, Elizabeth Coldwell, Jeremy Edwards, Emerald, Kay Jaybee, Annabeth Leong, Jade Melisande, Sommer Marsden, Raziel Moore, Giselle Renarde, Thomas Roche, David Salcido, Dominic Santi, Sinclair Sexsmith, Donna George Storey, Xan West and Salome Wilde. And these are only a fraction of the names in the table of contents.
There are more stories here than can be enjoyed in one session. They would make good bedtime reading over a course of nights, or weeks. Just as many of the characters are surprised by the force and quality of their orgasms, the reader might be surprised by the stimulating power of words alone.

The Big Book of Orgasms features 69 erotic short stories that get the reader's motor running time and time again. With each new story, a different kink or passion is explored, drawing out the reader's attention and keeping it from from foreplay, to climax, to post sex snuggling. Either read one at a time or as one solid novel, this book has something for everyone.
It's no secret that I'm a huge fan of Rachel and Cleis Press's anthologies. The one thing that puts these collections at the top of my list is the diversity of the stories. The Big Book of Orgasms is absolutely no exception. Though there are sixty-nine stories to read in this book, each one offers a unique story. One won't get bored reading this, that's for damn sure!
There is a story included in this book for everyone. Every combination of male, female, in between, and groups of the above are written about. Kinks such as BDSM, spanking, exhibitionism, you name it, Rachel's made sure to include it in her longest, sexiest anthology yet.
Of course, though the whole book is one that I'd recommend to anyone who enjoys a bit of naughtiness in their reading, I still had my favorites. As always when I review one of these anthologies, I'm going to spotlight my top three stories (which was a lot harder to narrow down this time around, now that I had nearly seventy to choose from!). The following are in no particular order.
Hellfire by Valerie Alexander features a Domme and a BDSM party where she meets one of the most high in demand Dom males in the local scene. She doesn't want him to see how his presence effects her, until they meet again in much sexier circumstances. This was a tease of a story, and I'd love to read a longer book featuring this plot line. (Please Valerie? Pretty Please?)Pushing Boundaries on Public Transport by Victoria Blisse is a story starring a couple that has a bit of risque fun on a bus, which elevates to a new level when they notice someone's eyes on their every move. This was well written and left me wanting more. And finally, The Morning After by David Salcido is a lusfful account of a newly married couple that adds one more to their morning rendez-vous.
If you're a fan of any type of erotica, this is not an anthology to be missed. Obviously this material is for adults, so there's mature language and situations.
Thank you to Cleis Press and Rachel for my chance to read this. -
This collection is... wow! It's a hefty book full of succinct scenarios all resulting in getting off. Some are individuals pleasuring themselves and some involve two or more people. All of the stories are very well written and there are some pretty imaginative situations presented. I was impressed by how differently the authors managed to express essentially the same thing over and over. It's not easy coming up with original ways to describe sexual contact and orgasms, but these stories manage to do it. You really can't read more than a few stories at a time though - these are scenes to ponder after you've made it through the four or five pages of description. I commend RKB for another enjoyable collection and presenting such a fantastic variety of tales.

A delicious and, more importantly, FUN book of sex, lust, and complete smuttiness. Sex in it's many forms, orgasms caused by many things. Some smut takes itself much too seriously and, luckily, BBO isn't that kind of anthology. As an extra delight, the writing is great, even when it's sex-free. It's impossible for me to get turned on by erotica that's poorly written. Causing a big sigh of relief, BBO doesn't suffer that fate!
She dove deep into the water, moving her limbs with solid strokes, submerging into the private darkness where the bottom was slick and the water enveloped her like a warm, safe place.
If you want some short stories that are bound to make you shift in your seat and cause your hand to slide south...give BBO a shot! -
I have long considered myself an advocate of erotic femininity in film, art and literature; a patriot in the advancement of female sexuality as defined by women, and the scourge of those arbitrators of ill conceived, poorly executed Female Erotica.
And this month I find myself in fine company, with legendary erotic author, Rachel Kramer Bussel's simply brilliant erotic anthology The Big Book of Orgasms, published by Cleis Press.
Crowned with a frisky forward from certified sexologist, Barbara Carrellas that sketches the novels sexual landscape with diagrammatic aplomb by emphasizing the necessary requisite for quality erotic fiction, imagination; this climatic collection of 69 sexy stories goes some way in banding sisterhood together in our mutual differences and collective uniqueness as the fairer sex but more deadlier of the species.
In her introduction, Bussel goes on to detail and celebrate the boundless potential for literary possibility when confronted with the countless definitions of the physical female orgasm. And without getting all, Simone de Beauvoir up in here, I was fascinated by the brief.
Traditionally in Erotic Fiction, Pornography, Hollywood, Fine Art, etc female sexuality has existed only as a foil and vessel for the male phallic deity and exalted ejaculation. The female orgasm has long since been confined to or defined as a portrayal of masculine virility that reduces wanton temptresses to quivering heaps of whimpering flesh. The female orgasm has, until now, been simply a warm-up act for the money-shot.
With her Big Book, Bussel it seems has taken a page from the leaf of such trailblazing innovators as We-Vibe in-so-far-as returning to the drawing board with a greater emphasis placed upon the better half is concerned. And from the female perspective the future for Erotic Fiction looks bright, especially when one considers the alluring chapters on offer.
In, Elizabeth Coldwell’s Under The Table, amorous lovers indulge in much more than the dessert menu at a swanky restaurant where a game of footsie leads to public pleasures verging on civil liberties.
What I adored about this tale was the highly charged eroticism in the intimate knowledge of each other’s sexual stimulations this couple shared in one another. Indeed, long-term and monogamous sexual relationships are the most rewarding and those of us lucky enough to share in such an experience also share a trust and confidence to boundary search and explore, finding heightened enjoyment in chance opportunity and calculated risk.
Coldwell epitomizes the volumes sentiment with this work. Without any hint of a hangover from entrenched misogyny the writer describes both characters from a first person male perspective but genuinely for a female audience and with tremendous effect.
Bussel’s own offering, I’m On Fire vividly demonstrates the diversity and scope of sexuality in general, but also and more poignantly, the hitherto predefined role of women as submissive in the traditional Sub / Domme relationship.
The success of her tale lies in the casual elegance with which she sets-up the scenario of submissive boyfriend and girlfriend disciplinarian; immediately evoking memories of, Barbet Schroeder’s French masterpiece Maîtresse (1976) yet still adhering to her own initial premise of unshackling the female orgasm from its binary and emancipating female erotic fiction to a fabled promise land!
Indeed the Cleis Press publication The Big Book Of Orgasms ticks all the boxes. The only slight tinge of regret this Erotic Fiction Reviewer is left with upon consuming the title is that all of the contributors failed to be female. Saying that, the content therein was of the highest order and ought to serve as a benchmark for contemporary Female Erotica. In summation, Sweetie says; a superb read!.. -
My freckles expanded from my recent beach vacation which is nothing new. It goes with the territory when you’re Scotch-Irish. I also had rosy pink cheeks… oh, but not from the sun ;)
No, it was from reading The Big Book of Orgasms—69 Sexy Stories.
Erotica, good erotica, is so much more than a story about sex. That is the core of course but well written erotica makes us feel (pun intended) like any inspiring musical composition. If you look at the root word eros it means life force and without eroticism you have no sexuality and no continuation of our species. Making love, sex, fucking, is a basic drive, a need that sustains us, creates art, and is sacred in all its many forms.
It would be impossible for me to pick a favorite story from this collection because so many of them resonated with orgasms past or piqued my curiosity to explore ones I’ve yet to discover.
All You Do Is Play by Annabeth Leong had me wondering at the possibility and remembering so many concerts swaying to the vibrations rocking through my body. By the Beat by T. Fox Dunham built a slow crescendo with its metronome. Meanwhile, Piano Man by A.M. Hartnett took me back to my college days playing open mic nights and to lovers who could play me like a harp.
The Gallery Exhibit by Chris Komodo took exhibitionism and made orgasm into art. Matinee by Suleikha Snyder reminded me that eroticism doesn’t mean sex. It doesn’t mean sex at all. A look, a touch, a brushing of arms can be just as hot or hotter than the most passionate kiss or embrace. At the same time Meeting Myself by Anya Levin reminds us that sex is timeless, ageless, and does not end.
The stories that made my husband hand me more sunblock because he was sure I was getting too much sun on my face was Forced Orgasms by Shoshanna Evers and The Flogger by Jade A. Waters. Kay Jaybee shared her spread-eagled tale, Tied by Red that sounded like my kind of kink and had just enough thorns to be fun ;) While The Morning After by David Salcido had me going, “Damn, I don’t remember getting that kind of service on my honeymoon!”
My last kudos goes to Michael A. Gonzales for writing a story near and dear to my heart with The Velocity of Roaches. I love that the stereotypical leering side character that’s an unfortunate annoyance is incorporated.
As the lazy, hazy days of summer come to a close (yes, I know I’m terribly punny) I’m sure I’ll curl up by the fire to re-read a few of my favorites this fall. -
This book of erotica lives up to its name, taking readers on a sensual and playful ride. There's humor in these imaginative and tasteful hip and edgy stories that are as sexy as they are thought provoking. Bussel is a dedicated editor, and the tightness of these 69 stories speaks to her expertise. As she writes in the foreword, the stories in this collection are so hot because they get to the point and use language in a graceful and inventive manner. Erotica is only as good as the imagination of the reader, and these stories present sexy scenarios that are imaginative and fun and worth reading again and again. I especially loved how connected to the characters I felt, making me care about their pleasure as well as my own.
-
I was thrilled to receive the review copy of this wonderful book. Cleis anthologies are always a highlight of my day and this one was kind of a highlight of my nights too. The stories in this collection are jewels in a sultry crown of lusty stories that will bring a rush of heat to your face and hopefully give your imagination a wild rush. Each and every story contained within was undertaken with care and in my journey through these pages, I had to stop on many occasions to search for a glass of ice water. Enough said. I loved this book. It made my toes curl and my heart beat just a little faster.

This review is from: The Big Book of Orgasms: 69 Sexy Stories (Paperback)
This book should come with a set of oven mitts. One of the hottest compilations I have had the pleasure to read.This is a must read for fans of erotic short stories. As I read this book I felt like I was on a sea cruise and an erotic buffet was laid out for me. I have read this one twice because I read through the storys with such anticipation that I felt I missed out on the storys the first time.There are story's for any taste in erotic literature. Purchase and enjoy. -
This book was amazing!!! I like what I would call lunch time reads. All the stories in this book are great and I am so glad that I got the chance to R&R for Rachel. She can put me on her list as one of her fans.
-
Lots of hot stories, so many different situations! I enjoyed the RKB contribution too! Looking forward to re-reading it many times!
-
You can’t go wrong with a book that offers so many creative ways to come. Just when we think we've heard it all, Rachel unearths 69 more lascivious tales.

I attended a live reading of selections from this book, and I will never forget it.

Focused on the big O? This Big Book of Orgasms is the book for you. This collection of flash stories centers on getting people off. It's a nice selection of some well-known authors as well as new to me authors. It's interesting to see how each writer takes up the challenge to push the reader over the edge with a pleasurable moan.
Overall, each of these stories are surprisingly well written. The editing is superb as expected from a Ms. Kramer Bussel collection. A wide variety of sexual acts are perpetrated. For those who enjoy many different ways to get off, this book is a great primer. Most of these stories are tame. Tame in that they do not push creative boundaries. They are straight to the point, hawt and sexy. Only one or two of them were a bit of a drag due to excessive focus on matters not sexual. Generally, a story is graded by the world building, character, plot, etc. However, in this case, with the limit of only so many words to generate an orgasmic event, sex should be focus. Forget about the previous experience of what takes place at a comic book convention. One of the stories distracted me from the sex because it specifically points out a couple who pride themselves on being eco-friendly, yet one of them commutes bi-coastally. Seriously, what on earth? Commuting every week on a plane is eco-friendly how? Please explain this to me. This irritation distracted me from the story.
The ones I really enjoyed are Scarecrow by Giselle Renarde, Hellfire by Valerie Alexander, Tied by Red by Kay Jaybee and I'm on Fire by Rachel Kramer Bussel. It is no surprise each one of these involves a bit of kink. My personal preference leans towards the kinky so these revved up my engine and left me wanting more. There is one notable passage which had me chuckling and wishing I was quick enough on my feet when I was single and dating.
“Beg me,” he said.
“Hell no.” But my hips did as I tried to capture his dick and failed.
“If you want to come again…”
“I’ll take care of myself in the car.” (p. 72)
My favourite story came as no surprise to me. The minute I saw talented writer Logan Zachary in this collection, I knew I had to read it. Remote Control is by far the most creative. This one immediately went from zero to a hundred in arousal heat. The twist Mr. Zachary wrote is lovely and warped. It shows how deliciously depraved his mind can be. Love it! I wanted more. He ended it just right, leaving the reader imagining more devious sexual shenanigans.
The erotic anthology is recommended to those who enjoy sex and aren't ashamed to admit it.
*I received this book as a review copy in return for an honest review -
Rachel Kramer Bussel, is my personal shopper when it comes to short erotic stories. She has an uncanny knack for being able to find great stories, with great sex scenes, unusual and well written plots. All the things that in my mind, make for some sexy reading on a cold Winters night.
The big book of Orgasms, delivers 69 excellent stories and for me there are a couple of shinning stars here. Logan Zachary is one of my favorite short story writers and he delivers with his story, 'Remote Control." I love how he takes an every day object and turns it into something extraordinarily sexy object, within this short. This story has stayed with me and I swear I cannot pick up a remote control without deliberating the possibilities it could bring...
Whilst Remote Control was my favorite of all the stories, it was by no means the only one I enjoyed. I mean how could you not enjoy a piece like this one from Icing on the Cake by Lula Libson:
“ My heart sank. I wanted to call her and immediately confess, but I already knew what her orders would be. Filled with guilt, I dipped my fingers in, a kid stealing a taste from the mixing bowl, once, twice, again, until it was all gone. It was salty and a little bitter but at her insistence I’d developed a taste for it.”
I loved the imagery within that one passage, I love the feeling of naughty and make no mistake there is a lot of naughty in these 351 pages, mixed in with a pinch of nice and a dash of sweetness in many of the stories.
So thanks once again to my personal shopper of Erotica I'm a happy masturbator and proud of it. Well worth taking the time to read!! -
I received this book from the author in exchange for a honest opinion.
Holy batcave batman this has some seriously amazingly sexy stories. I had no idea a twizzler could do that for someone. I don’t think I will ever look at the twizzler without respect and awe or the same again. And the one in which all it was was a hand holding wow! wow! wow! Or the bed seriously just a new fluffy bed. Or the video of his roommate wowzers.
Oh and what a great way to learn Spanish where was that when I was in school. The remote control that could turn you into someone else. Or the hotel room that once you left reality changed. Oh and the gallery exhibit. Definitely makes going to a exhibit a experience. Or the washing of the car oh my. But still the twizzler that one is so memorable. The sweetest is the piano man and the sexiest the Beer Garden wow. Some of these stories are sexy and sweet. showing such love and devotion of one’s partner but some are just jaw dropping sexy.
A book that will having you need water and definitely wanting some twizzlers. -
The book opens quickly and moves through an assortment of fantasies. Some of which I’d have never dreamed up in a million years and never heard of before. But that is the whole point isn’t it? to escape into something sexy and different. Each of the stories moves along nicely, some are suggestive and graphic, others leave more of the action to the reader's imagination focusing on emotional or situational items. All of them get to the point by the end making them perfect of a quick read when you’re in the mood.
So often with anthologies there seems to be a single constant theme or structure to all of the works and while there was an orgasm of some type in every story the settings are as widely varied as the orientations, motivations, and actions of the characters. -

This is one of the most correct book titles I think I've ever seen. This big ole book is full of story after story of orgasms. If you want a resolution you won't find it here. lol These are literally just 2-3 pages stories about people in the throes of orgasmic bliss. Some are super hot and some are on the tamer side. I don't recommend reading this one a plane full of people. Some of these had me blushing and wishing I wasn't stuck on a plane with a bunch of strangers if you know what I mean. That's pretty much all I can say about this one lol :) -
I received this book in exchange for an honest review.
This book truly has an orgasm for every taste! If you don't like one orgasm, go to the next! Each short story is a quick read, but they won't leave you hanging. Some are fantasy, and some are fantastic!
I would recommend this book for pleasure, for fun, or for fun pleasure! Happy trails! -
Fun, well written short stories. Something for everyone and then some. Highly recommend for people who enjoy, learning new things and like tried and true scenarios.
-
I loved the concept of writing a sexy story in 1,200 words or less. I think for me, it was just a little too much variety. And you weren’t able to skip anything that maybe wasn’t something that would turn you on because you don’t have any context clues other than a title which doesn’t honestly always give you much to go on.
-
I picked this up on a whim for some research I needed for a few erotic(ish) stories I was writing. Some of the stories were fantastic, others not so much.

A mixed bag, as most story collections are. With 69 stories the split between the ones I liked, the ones I didn't and the "What the hell did I just read" worked very much in my favor.

The Big Book of Orgasms delivers exactly what it promises 💋
Some of the stories are really cute and inspiring.
I think the author tried to cram in some diversity so that there'd be something for everyone (tho I don't think there were any trans characters 🤷♂️). Anyway, my overton window was expanded.
I'm glad there was one featuring cockroach costumes 👍👍😜 -
I waded through four of the stories in this book and that was all I could stand.
