In this case, the subtitle of the book says it all.

Frenzy, 60 stories of sudden sex is one of the many anthologies put out by Cleis Press, and under the editorial graces of the irrepressible Alison Tyler. A noted writer of erotic fiction short and long herself, she has put out numerous anthologies over the last few years. All are often of a theme or a defining characteristic, and all have a variety of authors, styles, viewpoints, and subjects.

Frenzy takes on the idea of "sudden sex" in short (1-6 page) stories. Sudden sex from people meeting the first time, for the last time, and for sex play ranging from relatively vanilla heterosexual, to the homoerotic, to the kinky. "Wham, bam, thank you sir." is a theme that gets sixty variations.

The advantage and weaknesses of anthologies like this is the sheer variety. Given that variety, its almost guaranteed that you will not like a percentage of the stories. Conversely, there is something here for everyone.

A majority of the stories are told from the woman's point of view, however that is understandable given the majority of the authors are indeed female.Sure, many of the stories are in the first person, but hardly all of them.

I did enjoy many of the offerings, and what is more, a fair number of them moved me and charged me. Its hard to ask for anything more in an anthology of erotica.
