Product Description
Product Description
Here's another entry in our wildly popular series of very short stories that can be enjoyed, start to finish, in less time than it takes to brew a cup of tea. This new anthology of pleasingly brief tales features contributions from some of the best writers of erotica today. While most of the stories feature heterosexual sex, Five-Minute Erotica also offers a good mix of fantasy situations, including lesbian encounters and ménages à trois.

First Sentence
She knows what seduction is, because until the night she lost her virginity-a night she had waited for a long time after many nearmisses, several broken dates and a few broken hearts-she had thought what most people think, that seduction is something dishonest and dangerous, sultry and tawdry, slow and cautious, but really it's none of those things, for as she learned, the most important part of a seduction is the removal of fear-that instinctual safeguard without which one feels perfectly secure, safe as a hatchling nested deep in downy feathers, for that is exactly how she felt when he-he who is only significant by the fact that it was he who seduced her, finally, that night in the hotel bar where she sat waiting for someone she didn't know would be him-pulled her hand gently until she was near enough to feel his warmth, and he pressed the backs of her fingertips to his fly as if to show her it was nothing dangerous, the way they let small children touch snakes in a zoo, with a care and deliberation that says Read the first page

I liked these erotic stories very much. There was something for everyone in this book (there are 35 different and unique stories). The stories are very short but they are interesting. I felt that they could have gone a little farther than they went, they were a little tame for my tastes, but they were still a lot of fun to read and I would recommend this as a gift for any woman who enjoys reading erotica or romance. And for an even more erotic read I would recommend Nancy Madore's "Bedtime Stories for Women," which re-tells fairy tales in a very erotic and exciting format.

Format:Paperback
A very enjoyable book with bite size stories that don't waffle about with excess padding. The storyline is established and cuts to the action very quickly. It is a collection of erotic stories by different writers so each has a different style and feel about it. That is not a bad thing and on the whole most of the stories are excellent. The odd one, perhaps leaves you feeling a bit short, you feel they could have taken the bit in their teeth (or something else) and taken the story on a bit further, but on the whole it is very good. I found that it was a good book to open for a few minutes read to perk you up for the day. I particularly liked THE BOUNTY OF SUMMER by Carol Queen, that was very erotic story. I would highly recommend the book. Another book I would recommend that you have a look at, which has perhaps a stronger sexual content, is 100 PERCENT EROTICA by Suzie Van Aartman. This book could well become a classic in my opinion.

Not a bad little book this and it's been around for a while and seems to be in the classic erotic genre. In fact I bought this book a couple of years ago and have just got round to reading it, after rediscovering it during a clear out. The stories are quite good but like some of the other reviewers have mentioned, they are a little restrained and leave you feeling that they haven't gone all the way. Still on the whole not a bad book and I do like the cover picture. But if you want more explicit spice to your erotica have a look at Elizabeth Chamberlain's Absolute Erotica: The Definitive Collection and Rachel Kramer Bussel's Dirty Girls: Erotica for Women

bemused!
This book was bought for a book club, we thought it would provoke an interesting discussion. Apart from a few amusing stories I found the book very boring and no one finished it. Read more

Brilliant read
Really enjoyed this book. Five minute read was exactly what it was. Nice short stories, just enough to get a storyline but not too long that you lose interest. Brilliant.

The best I've read!
Five Minute Erotica is combined of stories that take a little over, well, five minutes to read. Most of them are hot and spicy and so easy to read. Read more
