As you mentioned M/M as good, Iā€™ll give two that are favorite reads. šŸ™‚ \*\*[A Bit of Rough](http://www.amazon.com/Bit-Rough-Laura-Baumbach/dp/0979311012/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1233867320&sr=8-1) by Laura Baumback. \*\* Short, intense and bursting with hot scenes, this novel starts with an alley way fuck and continues in that manner for the entire novel. Pairs a sweet architect Jaime with a muscle bound alpha named Bram. Draws you in - likable characters ā€“ a very solid novel. (I find this to be so sexually intense I canā€™t read through all the smut in one sitting.) Need to get your strung-out-geek on? Look no further than **[PsyCops: Partners](http://www.amazon.com/PsyCop-Partners-Jordan-Castillo-Price/dp/1934166561/ref=pd_sim_b_59) by Jordan Castillo Price.** Victor is a police officer (of sorts). He seeā€™s dead people. Seeing dead people, as experienced through Victor really doesnā€™t lead to one being a stable, non suppressant popping person, but this is one of the things that make this novel so interesting. He feels very real to me, for all his psych powers. Throw in other supernatural goings on, conflicts in the police force, mysteries to solve and a scorching hot cop trying to jump his bones and I list this as another solid entry. (Heck, the smut starts chapter one so no complaints on that front either). If youā€™re ever looking into Yaoi Manga (M/M graphic novels), I have boatloads of these to recommend. My husband had to build me a library in our spare bedroom to house them allā€¦ ---

Can I recommend Robin Schone? [http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/search-handle-url/ref=ntt\_athr\_dp\_sr\_1?\_encoding=UTF8&search-type=ss&index=books&field-author=Robin%20Schone](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/search-handle-url/ref=ntt_athr_dp_sr_1?%5Fencoding=UTF8&search-type=ss&index=books&field-author=Robin%20Schone) Itā€™s all historical, full length novels and a couple of novella/short stories in compilations. Porn with a plot, mostly. Itā€™s all M/F but gets a bit kinky at times and is certainly graphic and not womenā€™s lit/romance novel metaphor. _The Lover_ and _Gabrielā€™s Woman_ are a set and her best so far, I think. I think _Gabrielā€™s Woman_ is the better of the two but I like dark heroes. _The Ladyā€™s Tutor_ is a good solid erotic story. One of the side characters shows up in her novella in the **Fascinated** compilation. _Scandalous Lovers_ is her most recent, came out last year. More plot then the others but still some hot scenes. _Awaken My Lovely_ is terrible. I couldnā€™t finish it. I think it was her first novel published and it certainly showed. I see from Amazon she has a new one out next month, better go add that to my wish list. ---

I always worry Iā€™m not expressing myself well in regards to recommendations (I second guess my own opinion) šŸ˜‰ Thatā€™s why I linked amazon as well, a place to buy - sure, but itā€™s helpful as well as others have given their views (they might pick up on something I missed.) ---

Well, you know, you actually described the type of sex in the books which is kind of the point here. It admittedly wasnā€™t a very high bar. Perhaps Iā€™m unique in that the sex and kink is more important than the plot in my erotica. ---

Please donā€™t worry about ā€œshould I recommend thisā€ - I am willing to try most anything, barring the rules in the OP, at least once. I can even have some girl-girl as long as penis \*eventually \*ensues. I will print this list out and buy some and borrow some. Keep going! Thank you everyone! ---

holy smokes. I need to get out more. (Or stay in more and surf the web.) Iā€™m so sheltered itā€™s pathetic. But, uhā€¦ thanks for the links. ---

> [@Anaamika](#): > > Iā€™m in the mood to read some. Some provisos: > > - I donā€™t want it ALL on one topic. I read that Sleeping Beauty series and it was nice, but damn, all they talked about was spanking. Spanking, spanking, spanking. . Now, now, youā€™re not quite being fair. Thereā€™s also sticking all kinds of things up your butt, being made to act like a horse (while having stuff stuck up your butt), and haveā€¦relationsā€¦with statues. But other than that, yeah, mostly spanking. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/recommend-me-some-erotica-please/484468.md?page=1)
