Best Men’s Erotica 2014 is to be the first of an annual collection of the best erotic stories from a male perspective. What turns a literate guy on? Something beyond “OMG it’s SEX!” and Penthouse Letters. Something the best writers, male and female can give us in spades.
What we’d like to see:
This collection will be selected and edited by Raziel Moore and William Crimson (@_Monocle, eroticwriter.wordpress.com). We’re looking for fictional stories that realistically addresses male sexuality. The concept of the Male Gaze has dealt extensively with the sexualization and objectification of women. It has also buttonholed, objectified, and “predatorized” male sexuality. BME [Burning Book Press] hopes to demonstrate a broader, more realistic, and human spectrum.
Character, story, and situation are open. Be literate and erotic. Our common orientation is heterosexual, but bi/pan/tran/homosexual stories are welcome and encouraged. If it can turn on or erotically resonate with someone who’s not a dyed in the wool homophobe, we’re interested. The primary focus of the sexual action is the male experience, male sexuality including but not limited to pleasure, is the main element. Style, humor, and intensity are all open; and happy endings are not required.
Established authors and new writers are welcomed.
Stories may contain elements of speculative fiction, sci-fi and other genres so long as the are grounded by eroticism, believable characters, powerful imagery, and emotional realism.
