The Refuge

A place for rethinking the role of the erotic in society. The erotic as a source that binds us into a society of humans, inquisitive and caring.

Literary Erotica

Not just endless description of "one damn sex act after another," but without hiding the heat of animal lust either. Tension and release. Tease, but with the big strip that leaves you drained. The elements of story, of plot, without getting in the way of the electric impluses of clit and cock.

Cook Your Way Into Her Pants! It's about time someone wrote a book like this. It's gotten great reviews, and why not? Certainly with all the lunatic diets out, a guy can have better babe-landing luck than ever cooking something tasty for her--especially considering the the crap the corporate food world wants you to eat to "stay healthy." Recipes and humor too. How can you go wrong? The Candy Men: The Rollicking Life and Times of the Notorious Novel Candy When Terry Southern and Mason Hoffenberg wrote the strange and satiricle "Candy," the US gaped in awe and immediately banned the book. It was published in enlightened Paris, and quickly became a cult classic. Looking for Erotica? See our Recommended Erotica Bookstore.
