I guess that's probably the result of the Internet, 2 Girls 1 Cup makes everything before look tame. An eye-opening collection of male sexual fantasies, from the international bestselling author of erotica, including Women on Top . It's true by her own admission that when she solicited stories she ended up receiving virtually no responses from gay men willing to tell their fantasies and secrets.

While there are some fascinating chapters to this book, for example the parts that cover straight men who have fantasies about sex with men, and the part on bisexuality, the author's chapter on homosexuality is really "off". Every day, I hear from saddened or angered men about the averted feminine eye, the hand withdrawn as if from a red-hot coal. nary, explicitly masculine journey, Men In Love develops a startlingly honest portrayal of what it means to be a man in contemporary America. In the mean time, it gave me and my partner lots to talk about and each conversation was fun if not surprising.

She graduated from Wellesley College in 1955 and moved to Puerto Rico, where she worked as a travel reporter and editor. I couldn't have known this except after the fact, but in all the other chapters I could have just read Ms. Those fantasies which did not have any outright turnoffs were much too short for me to work up much of a hot and bother (something Nancy explains is normal since men don't take nearly as long to get there, or stay there as long one they've arrived).

It doesn't have to be about exploring their own or their partner's (or anyone else's) psychology, or their own (or anyone else's) relationship dynamic in any way, or about communicating with their partner (or other people communicating with each other) through physical intimacy at all. Besides expecting fantasies that focused on different psychological elements, I also expected there to be a lot about exploring relationship dynamics in the fantasies, but it was almost entirely just about wanting to do the physical act itself, or remembering doing it.
