“Luscious collects a variety of short stories involving derrieres. For those in uncharted territory this may be eye opening as it includes heterosexual, gay, and lesbian couples--anal sex is no longer for gay men only. And the acts range from traditional anal sex, sex toys with an abundance of strap-ons, fingering, rimming, and even a story about anal fisting ("Room Service"). I was surprised at the experimental attitude with some of the stories in this anthology. "The Captain's Walk" involves a very horny ghost and "Impressionable" only hints that the couple is about to go into new territory, humorously at the over-enthusiastic husband's expense. I was disappointed at the addition of the twelve line "Anal Sex in Montmarte." It seemed a waste to count it as an additional story.
Undoubtedly, Luscious doesn't include everything, but is a step in the right direction for anal aficionados. This will spark there interest and maybe Cleis will gather another anthology. I will continue to read as long as the characters are enthusiastic and enjoy their plots.
