Savor the art of oral sex
 
An impromptu shaving session triggers a lustful bathroom encounter between a married man and his mistress. A woman who can't read a map discovers the sensual geography of "down there" thanks to her girlfriend's talented tongue. A female scientist teaches her husband a new area of study when she substitutes the word "tongue" for "hello." The twenty-one tales in Tasting Her form a sexy group portrait of the joys of cunnilingus. Encompassing everything from fantasy trips to in-the-flesh pleasures, and starring both seasoned pros and enthusiastic novices,these steamy stories bring new meaning to the phrase "read my lips."

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Every male dom knows that cunnilingus is the key to melting his female sub into a puddle of ultimate surrender. That's why this unabashed and intoxicating series of oral sex stories should offer a bit of spice to your bookshelf—and bedroom."
—After Dark LA

From the Inside Flap

Introduction: Reading Her Lips

Whether you've delved between a woman's legs, received cunnilingus, or fantasized about either, Tasting Her has a lot to offer you. To be honest, I'm usually not the biggest fan, personally, of getting head. Often it feels either rushed or perfunctory, or like I'm not sure how long I should give the person until we move on to something else. I don't always know when or how I will come, though plenty of women swear by a little tongue-lashing (or a lot!) to do the trick.

What's great about this collection is that there are oral sex connoisseurs and newcomers, men and women, who explore the treasure to be found in a woman's pussy, often in surprising ways. Maybe they think they know everything there is to know about giving (and getting) head, but have a partner who wants to show them something new.

We sometimes forget, given stories about men who refuse to go there (and yes, I've encountered a few), that there are plenty of men and women who truly enjoy, relish, and get turned on by basking in a woman's sex. The kind who find eating pussy not just a pit stop on the way to something greater, but the ultimate pleasure. Sometimes this can take the form of a BDSM scene, where someone is being "forced" to do what he really loves best. At other times, these happy lickers have to convince their partners that they want it so bad they'll do anything to get it.

In Jen Cross' outstanding story, "Queen of Sheba," we meet one such couple:

Jimmy would use his hands to hold me open, and his whole mouth, his nose and chin and cheeks. He'd fuck me with his tongue, then lap at me with the full flat of it, wriggle the tip across my clit, then capture the fat little head between his thin lips and suckle first gently, then more sharply, as I came. And came. And came.

He got me off so many times when he was down there, like that was the whole point. Can you imagine?
Her narrator learns that some men treat a woman's pussy like it's the pinnacle of her body, even when the woman herself may be a little puzzled as to what he loves about it so much.

I've been in the position of Gwen Masters' Teresa in "Teaching Teresa," refusing to let someone go down on me simply because I didn't think it would be all that fun. The last person I tried that with, though, used my refusal as a pawn in our sexual game, and when I let him advance, he showed me just how wonderful a well-placed tongue could feel. I think he wanted to show me what I'd been missing. In Masters' story, our hero has to articulate what it is he enjoys about the act:

"I love everything about it," he told her. "I love the smellæthat deep and secret scent. I love the taste. I love the way it changes when a woman comes, and the way it changes again after I've been inside her. It's like I can taste all the different levels of arousal."

Teresa was looking up at him with wide eyes.

"Most of all, I love the way a woman moves. I love the way the same touches can get a different reaction every time. But I also love finding that one thing that drives a woman crazy every time."

Other lessons are imparted throughout this collection, and I can tell you that by the end of the editing process, I was more than ready to spread my legs. Whatever your feelings about going down, I hope this book will broaden your horizons, and expose you to the ways cunnilingus can become part of a relationship, a quickie fling, a BDSM scene, and so much more. The characters here, from the dedication of the man who gives geographical names to specific parts of his lover's sexual anatomy in Jeremy Edwards' "Cavanuagh's Ridge" to the kinky pleasures of the couple in Teresa Noelle Roberts' "The Dominance of the Tongue," have a thing or two to teach you about pussy power. Savor them and their adventures, as well as your own.

    Let the celebration begin! Amorous Woman is now available as an ebook, with a gorgeous cover (if you're interested in having this beautiful book to caress, contact my publisher about POD). This novel is my personal favorite of all my work (to date), and the most demanding and rewarding to write. If you like the free sample, dive in and take your own trip to a fascinating, exotic and erotic land. I'm also very excited to announce that a collection of six of my best short stories, "The Mammoth Book of Erotica Presents the Best of Donna George Storey: Picture Perfect" is now available on Kindle. Exhibitionism, cross-dressing, phone sex, Japanese erotic prints, there's lots to please everyone. All of the stories appeared in the Mammoth Book of Best New Erotica series.

    And now, for my official bio:

    I've always wanted to write fiction, but didn't have the time or the courage until my oldest son was born and I decided to leave my job teaching Japanese literature to be a full-time parent in 1997. From the start, I was drawn to erotic themes and although I resisted at first--erotica seemed too scandalous for a shy bookworm like me--I soon realized I had to write what I loved.

    Fortunately, over the years the love has translated into over 150 publications in various venues, from literary magazines like Prairie Schooner and The Gettysburg Review to best-of erotica anthologies like Best American Erotica and The Mammoth Book of Best New Erotica.

    I'm a Princeton graduate with a Ph.D. in Japanese literature, which I mention not to impress--who really cares?--but to suggest how far I've wandered from the path of propriety. But I like to think my new aspirations are as lofty. I truly believe we need more writers willing to acknowledge that the sexual urge and the erotic imagination are as worthy of a complex literary treatment as anger, jealousy, ambition or love in its PG-rated form. That's what I try to do in my work, one story at a time.

    My other interests include delicious food, hearty wine, reading about history and cultural studies, and long walks at dawn. My author photographs were taken by the wonderfully talented Laura Boyd (www.ownyoursexy.com) who can capture the inner beauty in everyone, especially if you're wearing a gorgeous custom-made corset. Thanks for stopping by.

All of the stories were well written and the order in which they appeared make you want to have another taste. I feel that Rachel Kramer Bussel does an excellent job of selection when she puts together an anthology. I feel that as an avid reader of Women's Erotic Literature, that more males should partake of this genre as women seem to have a real knack at writing erotic, and this is a good book to begin with. I have read stories by many of the writers included here and would recommend them all. A lot to learn between these pages.

Being away for months at a time, my wife bought this book for me, knowing how much I enjoy the act of pleasuring a woman. I unfortunately finished it in one night but for good reasons. Most of the stories are well written as with most stories that Rachel allows to make it into her books. Of course, there are a few that I liked more than others that I go back to every now and then when I need my fill. I highly recommend this for anybody who is into the art of pleasuring a woman.

Ok, maybe I'm jaded but this book was not worth the money. I have finer, more explicit and hot fantasies then these. I think these fantasies are for men and women who are repressed and inhibited and want (a minor) vicarious walk on the wild side. If you yourself have been enjoying oral sex and other open minded adventures already, don't bother with this book.
