Only read the first one but it's so boring. ''He wanted to touch her with the tip off his sex'' what the fuck kind of sentence is this. She also writes like a third grader. ''He was standing at a bar'', ''the tips of her breasts were pink like of a young girl''. Just badly written and not erotic at all. 1 star.

Well, there’s a first time for everything and I didn’t know this was erotica before I picked it up. Not sure I want to read more of stuff like this..

All in all, i really liked it. I don’t know how to formulate it, so might come back to give a more detailed review later.

写于上世纪四十年代的情色小短篇(乍一看标题以为是毛姆节选),对于各种fantasy的探索今天看起来也完全不过时。女主人公们从不同人或场景(或者气味)那里获得新鲜感(进而转化成激情)的情节很有《艾曼妞》那种画面感。有肉香。

I am slightly embarrassed to admit that I enjoyed this. But then, I suppose my embarrassment merely demonstrates how necessary texts like these are! 
This is an illustration of the female gaze of the best quality! It is a beautiful collection of vignettes, all portraying physical pleasures mainly from a female pov. Basically, this is sex for the sake of having fun. 

“Linda” was my fave!
