A Thinking Person’s Erotica Novel: My Review of Author Eden Baylee’s Novel “Fall Into Winter” For Menage A Blog

Today I will review fellow author Eden Baylee’s novel Fall into Winter as part of my sponsorship of her participation in the Indie Book Collective’s Menage a Blog.

Do yourself a favor and please head over to Eden’s blog and leave a comment to receive a free copy of her book, and earn a chance to win a kindle.  Also leave your e-mail address in your comments here and on Eden’s blog to be eligible to win her author’s prize. Check out her blog for more details.

Facing off against Eden in a three-way cage match are Theresa Ragan’s Finding Kate Huntley and Jacquie Rogers‘ Much Ado About Marshals. My vote is for Eden’s hot, sexy and thoughtful novel, and as you’ll find out when you read her book — she is very adept in writing about threesomes among other intriguing situations.

Please support all the writers on the tour by leaving comments on their blogs as well.

What follow is my review of Eden’s excellent novel:

Don’t be fooled by the title. Author Eden Baylee’s debut erotic novel Fall into Winter
is anything but chilly. This is hot, scintillating erotica that will turn you on, make you think and move you.

Eden’s collection is composed of four separate novellas  — each story depicts the erotic adventures and romantic lives of four women in their mid to late thirties. Although the stories are vastly different and separated by seasons — two for the fall and two for the winter –  they share an overall theme of self discovery, reinvention and the rebirth of erotic desire and romance that each of her characters seek.

You will not be disappointed with Eden’s racy tales as her well written sex scenes will captivate you from the start.

Still, I must stress that this is not your typical fantasy laden erotica novel.

Eden is not afraid to delve into the mysterious nature of desire and love, and to explore some controversial subjects such as role-playing and threesomes — specifically a MFM threesome.

However, this is a thinking person’s erotica novel. Eden creates multi-dimensional, intelligent and passionate characters who live in the real world fraught with regrets, fears, consequences, heartbreak and disappointments. Her characters are not simply erotic props to tell nasty stories as you can find in so much erotica today. Her realistically drawn erotic scenes serve the overall story and are not gratuitous in any way.

Eden also writes poignantly about death, loss, haunting romantic decisions, overcoming cultural divides and the potentially thrilling and yet heartbreaking nature of love.

The book’s varied settings, including a blues club, a dungeon, and locations in  Toronto and Austria, rely as more than a backdrop, but are also essential characters in the telling of her stories. The harsh elements and intriguing conditions her characters face contrasts nicely with their deep passions and set the scene nicely for the metaphorical emotional thawing they each experience.

Eden is truly a talented author to watch. I highly recommend her collection. I’m looking forward to her next collection Spring into Summer later this year and when she branches out further into writing full-blown novels.

Discover this author now. You will know her name in the future.

A Saturday Night to Remember: My Wild Time on Dr. Suzy’s Show to Talk about my Novel “Monogamy Sucks”

I had a wild time this past weekend as a guest in studio on  Dr. Suzy’s (Dr. Susan Block’s) radio show to discuss the nature of monogamy, swinging, polyamory and my novel Monogamy Sucks.  Dr. Suzy and her show were every bit as sexy and intriguing as I imagined as a listener all these years.

You can find out more about the show and listen here.

Dr. Suzy has been a seminal influence on my journey as a writer and in my personal life. Listening to one of her shows in the mid 1990s about swinging and swingers inspired me to open up my own sex life and go on my journey into the swinging lifestyle that eventually led to my novel.

Also joining me on the show were the sexy line up of Playboy TV Model Amina Noir and her polyamorous lover Afro Disiac, as well as BDSM’s world-renown polyamorous menage The Black Family, made up of Indigo, Emah and Ms. Sybil Hawthorne, and led by patriarch and BDSM educator Orpheus Black.

I have to admit that the highlight of the show for the show for me — beyond meeting Dr. Suzy, her cool staff and my fellow guests — was licking salt off Amina Noir’s beautiful nipples at the close of the show and then taking a shot. It was the perfect way the end the show.

This is a hot and sexy interview and experience I will remember for a long time to come. It is the 38th interview on my blog tour for my novel and is well worth the listen.

Swinging and the Single Man: A View from the Author of Novel “Monogamy Sucks”

Recently, someone on Twitter, who shall remain nameless, stated that you have to be married or in a serious committed relationship to be a true swinger, and that a single male who has fun with a couple is only a bachelor…not a swinger.

Nothing could be further from the truth.

I wrote an entire novel, Monogamy Sucks, about the sexual misadventures of a single male swinger named Jake Dalmas. And yes, Jake is a swinger by the way.

It seems for some I might as well been writing science fiction.

The participation of single men in the swinging lifestyle is rarely mentioned if at all when swinging is talked about or covered in the media. One would never know about single male swingers existed at all from popular movies, TV shows and magazine depictions of swinging as the sole domain of couples swapping partners or single women participating in threesomes with couples.

Now, it is true single women are coveted by swinging couples. It is the fantasy that is most typically explored and fantasized about.

So what about the single man who wants to have a good time and get in on some hot swinger action?

Believe it or not they are also a desired part of this fantasy lifestyle. On many occasions, I have talked to couples who fantasized about inviting a straight (or even Bi) male into their bedroom. Sometimes I have been that MMF fantasy for a straight couple, which you can read more about in my novel.

I remember once being on a date a while ago with a woman who lived in a rich section of Los Angeles (Palos Verdes) who (also claimed to be a swinger — not likely!) and she insisted I was wrong to believe that women fantasized about having two men sexually . She even shouted at me at one point and told me I was crazy to even think about it although the week before I had a threesome with a straight couple and the wife talked about wanting to be pleased by two men for years and never having the guts to go through with it. My date thought I was lying. I am convinced a lot people think like her in mainstream society.

Contrary to popular belief, single men are not pariahs among swingers. It is true that a lot swing clubs do bar single men from admission, but not all of them. I know this from personal experience.

My novel’s protagonist swings solo during almost his entire journey in a quest to expand his sex life. Jake is a centaur (nickname for male swingers)  in the full definition of the word, and he doesn’t want to be part of couple. It was my intention to feature another side of swinging rarely if ever discussed in books, movies or TV. Not everyone longs to be part of what I call “Couples Nation” — and honestly like my character — they don’t want the headaches and stress that at times accompanies romantic relationships.

Even a new Pew Survey says that 4 in 10 Americans think that the bedrock of all traditions, marriage, is becoming obsolete. http://www.aolnews.com/2010/11/18/poll-4-in-10-say-marriage-becoming-obsolete

Our society is changing. One could take from this that people are also thinking different about other sacred cows such as monogamy. Studies suggest that around 30–40 percent of dating relationships and 18–20 percent of marriages are marked by at least one incident of sexual infidelity, according to the publication “Close encounters: Communication in Relationships.”  Some researchers say there’s a 50–50 chance today that one partner will have an affair during a marriage.  It is estimated that roughly 30 to 60 percent of all married individuals (in the United States) will engage in infidelity at some point during their marriage as referenced on the Truth About Deception Web site. It is food for thought.

I believe some women (both in and out of the lifestyle) do actually fantasize about being with more than one man or with many men, but without strings or complications that could ruin their marriages or relationships. Most don’t act on these urges and fantasies, but some do. This need for couples to bring single men into their sex lives may not be as popular as the more common fantasy (female, female and male) threesome, but centaurs are lusted after more than everyone lets on. Sexual boredom is a factor here no doubt.

Think of these single men as “stunt cocks” brought into a relationship to provide more or different kinds of pleasure for straight (or even bi-couples.)

In one key chapter in my novel (check out excerpt of Chapter 17 of my novel which is featured after this blog post), my character Jake is contacted by a young married couple that are horny on a Sunday morning. He ends up having sex with the wife, a hot blonde named Tonya, and engaging in his first double penetration experience.  After their passions were spent, Jake went back to his single life and they returned to their marriage. There are other instances in my book where my character is invited into sexual encounters with other straight couples.

So what’s a guy to do who wants to participate in swinging, but doesn’t have or want a wife or girlfriend?

You can start by going online and searching for swing clubs in your area that admit single men. There are many cool Web sites that cater to those interested in the swinger lifestyle.

Place an ad in a local swinger’s magazine looking to meet couples.  One good one to consider is the West Coast Sex Directory, but if you’re not on the West Coast you can find many others.  Take it from me: there are a lot couples looking to swing with men. You just need to know how to find them.

However, there are a couple of etiquette rules single male swingers should consider when swinging with couples.

•    Stay cool and never be pushy. You are a potential fantasy for a couple. Be a nice guy at all times. Don’t ruin a potentially enjoyable time by being an asshole.

•    Don’t lose your head. (I mean the one on your shoulders!) You are being invited into a couple’s private sexual lives — that’s all. The encounter is strictly sexual.  Don’t get confused. You will go home alone after the sex, leaving the couple to their relationship or married lives. This is sacrosanct. You are out to have a good time, not ruin anyone’s life.

As for couples, inviting a single man into your bedroom is a wonderful opportunity to spice up your sex lives and explore fantasies women and men don’t always like to talk about, but no doubt want to explore.

Set some ground rules and boundaries on what activities can be included in your swinging adventure.

Everyone involved must keep their perspective about the outcome and meaning of the sexual fun.  Sex stirs up all sorts of emotions, but being honest about the erotic nature of a sexy rendezvous will save everyone a lot of heartache.

If everyone remains cool and mature, the swinging lifestyle offers a great opportunity for wonderful, adventurous sex for both single men and couples.

CHAPTER 17 (of Novel “Monogamy Sucks”)

A REAL LIFE PORNO MOVIE WITH DON AND TONYA

February 2

For the last several weeks, I have struggled to put my sex life back into some kind of perspective. Things just seemed to be getting stranger and I am no closer to fucking my dream girls. Maybe I need to take a break from it all and go back to regular dating. I just don’t know.

February 3

I woke up on Sunday morning with a surging hard on. There was nothing unusual about that. Sunday mornings are one of the horniest times for me, and typically I wake up alone. My mind was swimming with erotic fantasies starring an international cast of beauties: busty, sexy black girls, nasty blondes, tight-bodied Asians, Latinas with big tits and sexy lips with dark tantalizing lipstick. I also fantasized about co-workers and women I met in the bar the night before.

My horny condition gets only worse when I have gone to a bar on Saturday night and struck out. Last night no one wanted to dance with me. I asked a couple women and then gave up and drank instead to forget about my rejection.

I was too tired and drunk the night before to jack off so I relieved my desires in the morning, while imagining fucking a hot Latina with a great ass I saw at the Station bar.

I finally got out of bed at noon and drank some coffee to start my slow process of waking up.

My second phone line rang (the Fuck Line as I like to call it) and I answered it. I typically turn the ringer off and let the voice mail take it, but had I forgotten to shut it off. On the line was a man who said he was Don. I vaguely remembered he had left a couple messages in the past couple of weeks asking if I wanted to fuck his wife.

I told him I was busy and wasn’t sure if I would have the time. I couldn’t tell him the real reason. I was going through post-cum let down. I had no desire. I had shot my load 30 minutes before which was starting to piss me off, so I lied.

“I just got laid last night,” I told him.

“Well that’s cool…but…listen to that. She is sucking my cock. Can you hear that?”

I could hear a slurping sound on the other end of the phone line. Now, it could be the blissful sound of a woman going down on a hard cock, but who knows. With my luck he could be alone on the other end of the phone whacking off and not even have a wife.

“She sucks great cock. Come on over. She’ll suck and fuck you as much as you like. She’s very hot and she is really horny,” he added.

Unbelievable. What bad timing, but what did I have to lose. A little embarrassment was the worst that could happen, and I doubted if his wife was hot anyway. Probably just another ugly skank. I started thinking that maybe I could pull it off if I took a lot of ginseng and vitamin E. After an hour or so, my lust might return.

“All right,” I told him. “I’ll be there.”

They lived in nearby Signal Hill, a small industrial town on the North side of Long Beach. I pounded down enough vitamin E to choke a horse and took some natural male power pills with the fuck herbs, ginseng and horny goat weed. Then I took a shower and put on a threesome porno where two men fucked a sexy blonde woman, double penetrating her ass and pussy. In the following scene, a gang of men took turns fucking another blonde hottie. Slowly, my libido returned and I was horny again by the time I had watched the pornos and finished my shower.

I wasn’t as nervous as I typically was before a swinger adventure and I wasn’t sure why. Maybe I figured things couldn’t get any worse than they already had. I knew one of these days I would find a hot woman who would give me the fuck of my life. It was only a matter of time.

I drove over to their apartment about an hour later. Nagging thoughts of performance anxiety crept up in the back of my mind as I parked my car on a quiet suburban street, but I had no real expectations. In fact, I expected the worst.

Don and Tonya live in a small apartment complex located off Pacific Coast Highway. It is an old surburban tract located in the middle an industrial area of refineries and old oil fields. As I walked toward their place I could hear an oil derrick pumping away in a nearby field.

A stocky guy with a Marine style crew cut greeted me at the door of their apartment. He said he was Don and shook my hand vigorously. He was wearing boxer shorts and a T-shirt.

“Come on in the bedroom. Tonya’s in the bathroom cleaning up. Would like you something to drink?”

I told him no thanks and walked into their bedroom. Apparently, they had been at it all morning. The covers of their king sized bed were pulled back and the sheets were wrinkled and torn off the mattress.

On a mantel, next to the bed were their wedding pictures. It was an uncomfortable reminder that soon I could be fucking another man’s wife in their wedding bed. It felt odd, but also very alluring.
I started removing my clothes and heard Tonya finishing up in the bathroom. A few moments later, Tonya stepped into the bedroom and shyly said hello. She is a knockout, a beautiful twenty something blonde woman with a ponytail. She was naked except for a towel, but I could see she has an incredible body – big tits, long legs, sexy ass. For a second, I thought I had walked into the wrong apartment. There was nothing skanky about Tonya. She was a fantasy fuck girl from head to toe. She is my porn fantasy in the flesh. I could feel my lust returning with a vengeance.

“Where’s Don?” she asked.

“In the kitchen,” I told her trying to keep my composure.

She smiled and left the room. A few minutes later, she returned with Don. They were both smiling at me. I had undressed down to my boxers.

“Well, why don’t we get down to it?” said Don, who quickly took off his shorts and moved on to the middle of the bed.

“Come over and suck me some more baby,” he beckoned to his wife.

Tonya removed her towel and obliged her husband’s request. They were oblivious to me except for Tonya sticking her ass and shaved pussy way up in the air, which I took as an invitation to join right in.

“Come on get in here,” Don said to me. “Look at that hot pussy.”

So I walked over to where Tonya was and started licking her pussy and fingering her. She tasted sweet like strawberries and I instantly got hard. She has a great ass or what I liked to call a heart shaped ass. I wanted to fuck her so bad, maybe too much. I got too anxious and tried to fuck her wet pussy without a rubber.

She pulled away for a second and Don said, “Hey man, you got to put on a rubber.”

I was embarrassed and realized I had almost broken a swinger’s etiquette rule to always have safe sex, unless asked otherwise. I did what I told my friend Ned never to do. I tried to enter barebacked without permission.

They didn’t seem too mad, though, and Tonya even smiled at me again and I was relieved I hadn’t blown my fantasy opportunity.

However, by the time I got a rubber out of my pants, which I thrown on the floor at the other side of the room, and strapped it on, I wasn’t completely hard anymore. I tried unsuccessfully to fuck her several times, but it was no use. I was flogging a dead dick again. She didn’t seem to notice and continued to suck on Don. I finger fucked her and licked on her clit. I don’t know what came over me, but I then stuck my index finger into her asshole. She didn’t react negatively as I expected, but instead groaned with pleasure.

Don and I then switched positions as he got up from the bed and began fucking his wife from behind. I lay back on the bed and Tonya, who was moaning with pleasure, looked up at me and took my flaccid cock in her mouth. She is a cocksucking pro. There is no doubt about it. I believe her lips should have been licensed. The moment she took me in her mouth, I felt my lusty desire return.

When I was hard enough, she deep throated me and I gasped with pleasure. It was an incredible feeling to have this blonde vision of beauty taking me like a porn star would. But I was prepared this time. I had another rubber in my right hand, the package open and ready for quick application.

“Do you want to fuck me?” she asked.

“You must be reading my mind,” I said showing her the rubber that I quickly slid on my surging cock.

The bad porn dialogue was in full effect, but she laughed and climbed on top of me, sliding my cock into her tight pussy. I nuzzled her neck as she fucked me and whispered how tight and hot she was. She smelled of citrus and strawberries, which made me only harder. Yet at one point I forgot I was fucking another man’s woman and tried to kiss her lips, but she turned her head away and continued to ride me. It was another faux pas on my part, but fortunately she didn’t mind. She was lost in a fucking frenzy.

I grabbed her round ass and pulled my cock deeper into her and marveled at the whole scene. I thought I must have been dreaming. I was actually fucking my fantasy fuck slut.

While she was sliding all over my cock, Don got behind her and tried to stick his cock in her ass.

“Ohhh,” she exclaimed, smiling. “What are you doing?”

“Hey baby. We’re going to double fuck you,” he said as he managed to maneuver his member inside of her ass.

Tonya screamed out with glee for a moment and leaned harder against me, still fucking my cock.

“Oh My God,” she moaned. “That is so good.”

The double fuck happened so fast that I wasn’t really ready for it. I looked over at the nightstand near the bed and looked at their wedding picture again. They were kissing in the photo and it only got me more excited. For a brief moment, I had the strange feeling again as if I was outside of myself watching a porn video of a double penetration scene. This time I was starring in it and it was my first DP. I wonder if it was Tonya’s. Probably not.

Tonya continued to moan with pleasure as Don pounded her ass. I watched my cock slide in and out of her pussy, but I wasn’t really feeling it. I was kind of dazed. In fact, I got so distracted I almost lost my erection.

“You’ve got two cocks inside of you,” I whispered in Tonya’s ear as my cock got hard again.

“We’re fucking the shit out of you, baby,” Don yelled.

Soon after, Don groaned loudly and came. Tonya reached back rubbed his cum on her ass for a moment and then continued to ride me even more intensely. I slipped out of her pussy at one point, but she quickly put me back inside of her and resumed her mission to make me cum.

“I want you to cum for me,” she kept repeating. “Ohhhhh, cum for me.”

Tonya rode me for the longest time and just when I thought she might ask me to stop, I came hard for her. I was relieved that I was able to consummate this amazing fuck session. No post- cum depression for me. Fucking a hot woman like Tonya was the whole reason for my going on this strange sexual journey. I felt vindicated. The nightmare of my past lame swing fuck sessions suddenly seemed a distant memory.

Tonya quickly rolled off of me and went into the bathroom. Don, who had been watching the whole thing from a chair near the bed, smiled.

“Aren’t you glad you came over?” he said.

I didn’t know if he was trying to be funny or not, but I laughed anyway.

“She is very hot. You are a very lucky man,” I said still somewhat in a sex daze from the whole double penetration episode. “That was incredible.”

“Well, thanks for coming over,” he said.

I knew he wanted me to leave. I was a stunt dick. I had done what I was supposed to do, serve as a second cock in an erotic tag team game of two on one on a horny Sunday afternoon. I dressed and started to leave when Tonya came out of the bathroom. She smiled at me, but didn’t say anything. I thanked her and she nodded.

Don asked me if I knew of any swing clubs they could try out.

“We’ve just been calling ads and meeting with guys, but we’d like to meet some other couples,” he said.

I told them about the Capricorn Club and Wild Bob’s. They both stared at me in some kind of awe. I guess I represented a real swinger to them. What a joke. If they only knew how inept I usually was at swinging, but I guess as the saying goes, every dog, even a lame one like me, has its day.

“Tonya is hot. You guys would be very popular at these clubs. Couples would be falling all over themselves to meet you guys,” I told them.

Tonya broke into a grin and appeared embarrassed for a moment. Don thanked me and shook my hand again. Before I left, I asked if I could call them again.

“We’ll call you, when Tonya gets in the mood,” Don said.

It was the usual spiel. I was a hit and run lover for Tonya as I never heard from them again. I don’t know how long I was there. Probably only an hour, but it seemed longer. I felt this incredible satisfaction. I had done something many had only fantasized about, but few had the guts to actually do in their real lives. I honestly didn’t think I could actually participate in a DP even though I had watched and jacked off to enough double fuck scenes in porno movies. And this time the woman was attractive too. That was a bonus. That’s not even a guarantee in porn movies.

As I drove away, I called Ned on my cell phone and told him the story.

He didn’t believe me at first.

“That’s incredible,” he said. “Why didn’t you invite me?”

What a fucker. Everything always came back to him. If I had called Ned, he would have fucked it up somehow. Maybe he would have tried to kiss Tonya or something and I would have gone home frustrated again. No more fuck excursions including Ned. No way.

February 5

After a couple days of reflection, I’ve come to realize I finally had a swinger sexual experience worthy of my fantasies. Tonya is a blonde fuck vixen out of the pages of Playboy, Penthouse and my favorite porn movies.

What was even better was that Don had to deal with her bullshit everyday. I bet Tonya was a royal pain in the ass, a real diva. I got the pussy and left with my fantasies intact. This is why I avoid relationships and pursue casual sex. It was worth all the freaks, creeps, jerks, and ugly bitches to get to Tonya.

Now, I was more determined than ever to find more fantasy fucks like her. I knew they had to be out there. I felt like an amateur porn star. My sexual confidence was on the rise for a change.
