Sean Wolfe says in the blurb that his next book will not be a book of erotica but meanwhile he has his reputation as a sex maniac to preserve. In fact this book is something of a transition since, although each story is highly erotic, some of them are quite sombre in theme, so they end up not really working as an erotic turn-on, although each is characteristically well written. There are as well links between the characters in some of the stories and this does not always come off either. But the master of the erotic short story has not lost his touch. The story in which two guys have sex outside a club in front of an admiring audience builds in erotic tension as only the best such stories do. I'm sure Sean Wolfe will write a brilliant 'straight' novel but let's hope he does not desert the erotic short story altogether.

Immediately sucked in ...
30 Dec 2009
Format:Paperback
Sean Wolfe knows what men want. At least, that is what is proclaimed on the back cover of his latest collection of erotic escapades. These eight interconnected stories, by the author of Aroused, Taboo and Close Contact, as the back cover goes on to say, "...explore the very nature of desire."
I was immediately sucked into the first tale, Inch One, as Wolfe paints a picture of teen angst and the need to escape an abusive home. The characters are full and likable, and when the inevitable sexual encounter appears, there is a connection to the characters, like memories of escapades long forgotten. Inch by inch the stories unfold, in divergent setting from the ivy walls of elite schools to the dank streets of the Tenderloin, with characters who are 3-dimensional, damaged and horny, ultimately weaving back together to make Eight Inches a collection of erotica like none other.
Although some connections felt forced, it was still a treat to see characters from earlier Inches re-appear in the climactic final tales, some less damaged, some crazy as a loon. In Eight Inches, Sean Wolfe proves he does in fact know what men want, and delivers the goods with accuracy and a side of humor. It is a most enjoyable, laugh out loud collection. ~ Taylor Siluwé, Features Editor, Out IN Jersey Magazine, author of Dancing With The Devil

Well-written erotic short stories, but a few bumps along the way
25 Aug 2009
Format:Paperback
In his latest anthology of gay erotica, Sean Wolfe presents eight stories (labeled as "Inch One," "Inch Two," etc.) pretty much covering every cliché you can imagine. There's the father who is abusive because his son looks nothing like him (and he suspects isn't his), the hazing at a frat house that turns into an orgy, a college athlete who keeps his grades up by having sex with his professors, the powerful politician who has to take extreme measures not to be discovered as gay, the prison guard who is having regular sex with one of the inmates, two guys who meet on an online hookup site don't anticipate the potential danger they may be in, the junior executive on his first international assignment who is seduced by his aggressive client, and one hustler who befriends another with a bad drug problem.
For erotic short stories, they are written rather well, but the verbose Mr. Wolfe can't help himself by (in the foreword to the book) trying to tie them together as some grand demonstration of the power of the individual to influence and change others in society, alluding casual sexual encounters to the challenges facing the new presidential administration. And, in that vein, he tries to tie many of the individual stories together, by having characters overlap into different scenarios, which detracts from the stories, in my opinion. I also have a bit of a problem in the depictions of barebacking, even in fantasy stories, at a time we surely know better. But, overall, a pleasant distraction for a fan of gay erotica, and I give the anthology three condom-clad stars out of five.

A great read!

I really enjoyed this book on many levels. It is gripping, entertaining and oh so sexy to boot! The way Sean Wolfe intertwines the stories in the novel is brilliant! This is one that I could not put down! I am really hoping for a followup book on these character and story line. Highly recommended!
