Customer Reviews

Highly Reccomended

I used to subscribe to the Yellow Silk Arts journal in the early ninties, and could not wait for an issue to arrive. This book contains poetry just as beautiful. When reading, one feels that finally words appear that can describe the unspoken.. the feeling.. the passion - the elements that embrace truly loving another soul. Pablo Neruda also paints love with words so beautifully, but these are modern poets whom are quirky, visonary and uniquely creative.

Interesting

I made this purchase because a female friend suggested that the best pornography is written by women, and cited this item as an example. Some pieces in the collection are very sweet, but to a male eye there is an overdose of sentimentality. As a window for men into female lust the book is invaluable. But of course we await the ladies reviews.

Sensuous Reward After A Hard Day

This book was given to me by a friend with the promise that it was "saucy." There are writings in here that made me blush and others that made me sigh and others that made me almost cry. All of them were indeed saucy. It was like giving myself a mental message. I highly recommend it to anyone who is looking to bring some sensuality into their daily lives.

Great collection of erotic poetry and short stories!

I especially enjoyed the poetry and many of the stories. This is real quality literature that evokes great feelings. This is a must for anyone that enjoys erotic literature
