red ball Datlow, Ellen (Editor)
  • Off Limits: Tales of Alien Sex
    St Martin's Press, 1997
    ISBN: 0312140193, Hardcover
    This collection borrows from many genres - it is not really a gay collection (though some of the stories have gay related themes), but it is not really classic sci-fi either - there are few real aliens and not a lot of real sex with them. Instead the stories focus more on the alien nature of sex between humans in its many forms.

  • Diary of a Hustler
    Prowler Books, 1997

    Part of the "Just Eighteen" series from Prowler, this is supposedly the "frank and full-on diary" hot from the mouth of an 18-year-old male prostitute, and a good one-handed read it is.
