About

“Arthur Schnitzler’s “Reigen”, 1896-97, stands out as the best erotic work from the end of the century. It contains 10 dialogues, scenes of love, or rather, sex life, at the climaxes of which the poet knows how to be silent with ingenuity and allow the reader’s imagination to do the rest.

Prostitute and soldier, soldier and parlour-maid, maid and young master, the young master and a married woman, the married woman and her husband, the husband and a “nice girl”, this girl and the poet, the poet and the actress, the actress and the count, dance a round dance till the circle ends at the count and the prostitute. The sexual climaxes are described with just “Ah” and “Oh”. Despite the erotic extravagance a melancholy tone pervades the dialogues the aim of which is to say that every sexual pleasure always leaves a bitterness behind if sexual union happens without union of souls, a generalization which cannot be said too often.”
 

Sam L. Feldman's, “HOOKUP’S, HICCUP’S, HAPPENSTANCE’S”, 315 pages of short stories take place three quarters of a century into the future, specifically during the Sexual Revolution, (60’s & 70’s), when attitudes towards sex and morality are liberalized. Sex by either gender without guilt or shame, with whom or whoever.

These steamy stories are told through Butch, considered chic bait by women, hero by his buddies. Thirty-plus scenes of sex life, climaxes described in juicy detail, going full circle, with a surprise ending.

Through a bevy of playful women of every description Butch gets the message, it’s just sex!
