"Sexy Bedtime Stories for the Voyeur in All of Us"

Fresh Fiction Review

I Like To Watch
Christopher Pierce

Reviewed by Lisa Watts

LGBTQ

I LIKE TO WATCH is a collection of seventeen gay erotic short stories edited by Christopher Pierce. Although the stories all revolve around voyeurism and exhibitionism, they are very diverse in content. From solo shows to hook- ups to falling in love, from vanilla sex to fetishes to BDSM, there is something for everyone in this steamy anthology.

If you're looking to catch someone in a private moment try Reprieve by Michael Bracken in which a contract killer spies more than just business as usual through his high-powered rifle. Those who are hoping that looking leads to touching will enjoy Wayne Mansfield's Muscle Shower Show, where a man finds two other men having sex in the shower of a public pool. And if you're wondering what kind of a show someone might put on if they thought someone was watching then look no further than Eclipse by Dale Chase.

The Rookie by Gregory L. Norris is by far the longest story in the book. In it the narrator becomes obsessed with his new next door neighbor and it reawakens his passion for life. This intriguing story is very well done and had me looking into other works by the author. Other noteworthy entries include Good Boy by well-know author Jeff Mann and Table Topped by Cari Z. Both of these stories are about office romances, and I found them to be perhaps the most erotic in the collection. Those that like BDSM and knife play will find that both A Final Goodbye by Pepper Espinoza and Compersion by Xan West fit the bill.

No matter what your personal preferences are, you should be warned that all of these tales are super hot, very graphic, and utterly enjoyable. The anthology is a great pick for anyone who is intrigued by the world of voyeurism and exhibitionism and/or enjoys well-written gay erotic stories. I LIKE TO WATCH is the perfect book to keep in your nightstand and pull out for a quick and sexy bedtime read that will guarantee pleasant dreams.

SUMMARY

The dance between the viewer and the viewed fuels the stories of "I Like to Watch, " a stunning anthology of gay erotica for voyeurs and exhibitionists. In the words of editor Christopher Pierce, "the possibilities are as varied as the individuals who have watched and performed this ritual since the first Cro-Magnon man accidentally saw two men getting it on and decided to stay and watch the show." Pierce has assembled stellar contributors including Shane Allison, T. Hitman, Jeff Mann, Rob Rosen, and more in this collection devoted to spying, ogling, teasing, flaunting, and showing off for a lover or a stranger. Every exhibitionist needs a voyeur -- and in the intimately charged scenarios of "I Like to Watch, " the special thrill of getting caught is as much fun as completely shedding one's inhibitions.
