Recently I read a romance/erotic novel called Rocking the Boat, by Christopher Koehler. It is a reworking of an earlier 2011 version. I liked it. It is very masculine with a college rowing setting. The coach fell for a rower so it was a bit predictable. The erotic aspects worked well enough. I voted one dick up for that, (that's the highest rating!) but four stars for the novel.

I remember the early novel The Lord Won't Mind, I have an original copy somewhere, but on Amazon a Second Print copy sells for $986, or $967 used. Written by Gordon Merrick as part of what became a trilogy, it started out as a regular novel with gay characters, but the more you read the more your dick twitched. I liked it, but never read the following two novels. For whatever reason, a copy of the novel from the first print is only $95. It was a pioneer novel in gay fiction.

I don't read much erotica what with computer porn, but it is a different experience. Your dick twitches for hours if the book is good. Some times the book even has a climax. But I do have a trade paperback of The Erotic Fiction of R.J. March called Looking for Trouble. It came out in 1999, but I have only read snippets of it. It doesn't seem as good as Rocking the Boat or The Lord Won't Mind.

Of this novel, Amazon says: "R. J. March is generally acknowledged as the best and most prolific writer of gay erotic fiction. His emphasis on strong characterizations and unusual plot lines have raised his work far above the standard expected of erotic fiction, while never failing to deliver the goods. His work appears regularly in such publications as Men, Freshmen, and Unzipped. Looking for Trouble collects the 25 hottest, most tantalizing, most intriguing of his stories. No gay man will leave the pages of this book unsatisfied." It has 8 five-star reviews, so those men must be satisfied!.

I didn’t realize it was, but if true, perhaps it’s has something to do with the well-known loss of attention, interest, even in some cases consciousness, as the male achieves climax. Women authors, even if emotionally involved with their male characters, do not usually face the danger of such energy reversals as they conduct their readers through the male hormonal roller coaster of imaginative gay sexual adventure. Gay male authors might well do so.

I read about a guy (gay man maybe?) writing women's erotic fiction. In one of his love scenes, his editor had to point out to him that women do not have prostates.

 

I have many of the Gordon Merrick paperbacks. They're worth money now? :D I've written before about "An Idol For Others" being in the small book section of Hudson's department store, and reading that while Mom & the sisters shopped for clothes; I was in my early teens.
