Violet Blue's Bisexual Husbands Sizzles with Hot Threesomes

I’m really enjoying the new layout by Violet Blue who has gone rogue with her new publishing company, digitapub.com (get yourself there and get some goodies both sexy and techie).  I have devoured her introductions which are the perfect tease to the book and state her mission of sexual exploration in the most divine ways.  She includes bits of history, political perceptions, and juicy bits from the stories until you are one turn away from an orgasm.  

Bisexual Husbands is a book best taken is delicious sips.  Each story is sexy and well-written, but since the book is thematic, the basic gist of the stories are monochromatic.  This is not necessarily a bad thing but once I realized this, I had to tone down my usual urge to inhale the book and just read it story-by-story.  This manner of editing really forces the reader to do justice to each author’s contribution.  In her latest anthologies, Ms. Blue moves the reader from innocence to dirty, dirty fun.  The stories at the first part of the anthologies really do introduce the reader to learners or innocents.  In Private Lessons, by Emilie Paris, there’s even a teacher - a delicious, divine dance teacher.  Who hasn’t thought about getting schooled by the dance teacher with glorious abs?  By the time you get to the end of the book, you will see the mastery or absolute depravity in the complex luscious subjects, such as in Alison Tyler’s Sparks Will Fly where the wife brings someone back to the room who she met on the elevator at the hotel.  This kind of sexual risk might be above my level but that doesn’t mean I haven’t fantasized about it.  After years of editing erotic anthologies, Ms. Blue had a great sense of how far to push her readers into risk or taboo subjects.

Each story is partnered with either a drink recipe (which I”m going to have to try more of - Rogueish Gin Daisy sounds like my kind of drink!) or a sexy how-to article written by Ms. Blue, who is in her own right a fantastic writer.  I must say that I enjoy these pieces as much as the stories.  I learned quite a bit about strap-ons just from the short how-to in Bisexual Husbands.  Having never used one, I appreciated the no-nonsense guide on not just how to strap on but how to do it successfully for both your pleasure and your partner’s.

Don’t think that just because this anthology addresses bisexuality in men head on (pun intended) that these stories have little to offer to those who are not either bisexual men or the wives of them.  In fact, the turn on in these stories may reside more with the fact that these are all stories of threesomes and most (not all) of the perspectives are from the viewpoint of the woman.  All of these wives are supportive of their husband's sexuality and needs even going so far as to support and encourage the expression thereof.  Here’s where Violet Blue transcends the art of fiction to bring in her clear perspective, as spouses we should be supportive of the most terrifying aspects of our partner’s sexuality because in the end there’s pleasure to be gained from their happiness and fulfillment.  And that the terror of bisexuality is contrived by social perceptions and gossip.  These stories go a long ways into dispelling any myths about bisexuality, making the new narrative just about pleasure between consenting adults with a few extra partners thrown in for good measure.
