About

The editor of Active Duty, Beach Bums and other anthologies seeks romantic erotica focused on male couples in committed relationships. Many erotic stories focus on the thrill of first contact—but Take This Man will be different, looking at how much sexier an encounter can be when the two men involved have been together for long enough to make a commitment to each other. Formalized or not, the fact remains that when you know what turns your partner on, and vice versa, your encounters can be even hotter, especially when you factor in the emotional component. The anthology will be published by Cleis Press in time to celebrate the first-year anniversary of the decision knocking down the DOMA.
