Zaftig: Well Rounded Erotica

I didn't know what to expect when I started reading this book.., but I wish someone had really warned me! I haven't been able to find anyone who shares my same drive for sex and erotica, unitl I read this book. All I needed was this book, some privacy and a little bit of chocolate, and I was a very satisfied woman!

If you get this book be careful: if you think that erotica is only hot sex, then you may be disappointed. Here, and in much of the erotica I like personally, erotica also means literature where sex and sexuality play an important role in characters' lives. This is a collection of stories about larger people who battle the social idea of "thin is sexy" and the people who empower or challenge them. There is plenty of hot scenes here for het and lesbians (I'd say it was about 50/50), nothing really for gay men however. Most of the characters are larger women with the men usually not described. The quality of the pieces varies but four were my favorite for their uniqueness and power to draw me into the tale. These were pieces by Catherine Lundoff,Eleanor Brown, Veronica Kelly, and Diana Lee (two lesbiand and two het piece by the way).

This collection of stories celebrates the rich lustiness of larger women, and in a couple of cases, larger men. It's one of the few erotica collections that makes it loud and clear that large women are sexy too. As I read some of these stories, I imagined myself as being the lucky person to be with some of the gorgeous creatures described in these stories.As far as there not being enough so-called "straight" stories, well I'm sorry but a collection of "all het" stories would be boring. Thank goodness Hanne chose all spectrums of sexuality, not just a narrow band. And heck, seems to me there were enough "het stories" here to satisfy most people. And I certainly don't mind the "girl-girl" stories by any means, but that probably has something to do with my being one of those dreaded "straight males."Hooray to Hanne Blank for an anthology that proves large women are desireable and darn sexy.

Wow! This book is hot! I did not find it disappointing in the least -- rather I began to see myself as well as my lover in a different light. Deserving of passion, ecstasy, pleasure, satisfaction -- regardless of size. I liked this book so much that I came back here to see if there are any more like it! And to the reader who is disappointed at the emphasis on lesbianism -- wow can I relate -- you know every time I am in the mood for a good love story -- and go to the movies -- What a turn off -- in my face hetro's!! I have no problem either with what people do in the privacy of there own bedroom -- as a matter of fact I enjoy reading about it now and then... but this blatant and public display of heterosexuality?? enough already -- I can't open a magazine, or go to the movies with out it being shoved in my face.... ; ) Thank goodness for the reprieve I got with this book!! I would reclassify however to 60/40 -- 60% straight or bi encounters and 40% lesbian. Overall, this is a VERY WELL ROUNDED BOOK (pun intended)!!!! Buy it -- you will not be disappointed!!

This erotic short story anthology is about the sensual enjoyment of big women and those who love them. They're hot and full of delight and humour. There is lesbian and hetersexual content. Try page 95! Several of the short story authors I recognized from Hot and Bothered and Best Lesbian Erotica. A good read, especially for voluptuous women.
