The Bisexual Collection Series

The title says it all in this edgy seven-story anthology from the keyboard of habu. These are tales of men enjoying sex with other men as well as with women and doing it in twosomes and threesomes. In the house of bisexual stories, the room of man and man and woman is one many want to enter. And if it interests you and you want to explore what it means and the pleasure that it can bring to two men and a woman, this is the anthology for you. In "7:48 P.M. Wednesday," two men are dancing around their own relationship when a cougar comes into the picture. In "Anniversary at Big Dick's," a husband treats his wife to what she'd enjoyed before marrying him—coupling with a big black bull—and decides to join in that game himself. A cougar is also preying on young men on a Bermuda cruise in "Bermuda Run." "Camouflage" showcases pretense, chicanery, and camouflage all for the sake of art. Newlyweds take no time entering the world of swingers in "New Year Gala Indeed." "Spat in St. John" is another sea cruise story in which a cruise-line gigolo brings a couple back together in shared sex, and an experienced man breaches his would-be lover's fears of completed sex with the help of a woman surrogate in "Surrogate Loving."

If you are up for a Halloween treat of open-minded, unguarded readings of scare-season stories, this ménage anthology collection from the wildly imaginative pen of habu is for you.

Oh, and men and women. And, yes, we know there are fourteen stories in this thirteen-story anthology. This is the season of nothing being quite what it seems.

BarbarianSpy Bisexual Romp Sometimes it is a distinct advantage to look and sound like a young Denzel Washington, even though you are an Indian from Goa. Especially if you want to do well as a bisexual gigolo and dining room waiter aboard the Quincy Queen on a seven-day cruise along the New England coast. Freddie—not his real name, but one easily remembered by passengers at tip time—has a pimp, his dining room section head-waiter, Alphonse, who has a talent for loading up the table assignments in their section with an assortment of passengers with various sexual needs and proclivities. In this somewhat tongue-in-cheek, but highly sexually charged, collection of stories, Freddie exhibits his talent for both fulfilling those needs and earning a good keep while leaving each of the passengers, both male and female, better off than they were before boarding the Quincy Queen.

Rich VonClief is from a New York Founding Family that has reached the dire financial straits of having only one asset left: a Riverside Drive mansion that is a huge tax liability. He's a movie-star-handsome young man with musical and sports talent who has no idea how he's going to be able to take his graduate student place in Julliard let alone finish his last semester of undergraduate studies at Dartmouth. His assets include ambition, bisexual promiscuity, and many people interested in having sex with him—many of whom are willing to pay for it. Howard Butler, the patriarch of a rich Boston family, who has a sexual relationship with Rich, as do his wife, his son, and his daughter, steps in to help Rich with his financial issues. And Rich takes us on a devilish journey through graphic, heterosexual, bisexual, and gay promiscuity, prostitution, double penetration, and interracial sex.

Bisexuality is a "have your cake and eat it too" sex-is-sex-is-sex celebration of, and liberation toward, full sensuality. Some say we are essentially all bisexual, focusing on the pleasure of personal arousal and completion, but that society has insisted we choose either to be straight, if we're sensible, or homosexual, if we are weak or weird. This anthology lets out all of the sensuality stops, providing five male-perspective stories of bisexual pleasure—or torment—depending on the theme of the story and the perspective of the reader. Reader interest in stories of this underserved genre tends to split on whether they are told from a male or female perspective. These five stories are given from the male's viewpoint and serve male appetites. In another split, interest is generated in whether the pleasures (or trials) are taken sequentially—sex with one gender and then, separately, sex with the other—or, as a mixed-gender group. The reader can find both in this anthology.

Warnings: contains graphic language and graphic gay male, MMF, MF, bisexual, and multiple partner sex situations enjoyed by all participants. Luther is a young man seeming to be happily tooling along on the edge of life in the beach resort town of Cape May, New Jersey, only half aware of what is happening around and to him because he was born slow-witted. But what he appears to have been shortchanged in brain cells has been more than made up in physical attributes he inherited from a mixed-race coupling. Those around him, from his priest to his former teachers to his current employers to jaded rich tourists and a social worker, are eager to take advantage of both of his most apparent traits—his innocence and good humored readiness to please and his arresting physical endowments. The few genuine friends he has—who aren’t so genuine that they shirk from getting in on what he has to offer themselves—feel sorry for his plight and worried for his future. But Luther himself seems happy as a clam and, perhaps, just perhaps, is more in control of what is going on, and less taken advantage of, than anyone suspects. Luther’s “normal” life as the furniture refinisher for the antique store-owning pair of Tim and Alfred and sometimes fishing trip second mate to the married Rob is set on edge by busybody and judgmental neighbor, Mrs. Watson, when Luther is visited in his home workshop by his former gym teacher, Grant, and by Luther’s new, “special” friend, Keith, who decides that what would make Luther even more perfect would be a Prince Albert ring. When rich, predator yachters Jonathan and Pamela appear on the scene to sail Luther away into a new life of service, Luther is faced with the decision to go with the flow with good humor as he’d always done before to fit into life or to assert his own wants and needs.

A Knife, a Hanky, a Book, and a Dead Body. A great hot and erotic murder mystery. The unusual thing about Hilton Head homicide detective Quinn Fawker isn’t just that he is promiscuous and gets away with it but also that he is actively bisexual and not only gets away with it, but has the looks and equipment to get away with it frequently and with many partners. When he is called to the Sea Pines compound of South Carolina U.S. Senator Bradford Braxton to investigate the finding of a body draped over the senator’s ping pong table, he gets dropped into a cast of characters also accustomed to getting away with sexual shenanigans. One or more of the powerful people found at the senator’s beachfront house that night is also trying to get away with murder. And it quickly becomes apart that a cover-up of the actual events is already well under way and that the death on the ping pong table is perhaps not the first death involved in the case.

Prince Bhadur Khan of the remote, but strategically located, Indian satrapy of Balrampur is an inbred and crazed killer with two fetishes: He has an obsession with military discipline and exotic military hardware and he is just as aroused by man flesh as by his revolving succession of wives. Regardless, the prince has become the linchpin of maintaining U.S. interests in the region. There is enough complex and volatile political and sexual intrigue going on in the court of Balrampur to make Machiavelli’s head spin. The United States has become embroiled in the Balrampur court’s machinations and is heavily committed to keeping the prince happy because Balrampur plays host to a secret U.S. photoreconnaissance jet operation keeping tabs on events stretching from the Near East to Southeast Asia. Into the center of the palace’s den of scheming snakes is thrust young CIA Candy Store unit agent Craig Townsend. Craig possesses the combined needed attributes of being a jet pilot and just the sort of man who revs the Indian prince’s engines . . . and this is precisely what young Townsend is assigned to do for the interests of U.S. intelligence. The palace plots thicken and become more dangerous and volatile by the hour as Craig Townsend is called upon to serve more plots and desires in the palace than he can count, let alone keep in balance. Then a new and unavoidably present threat of terrorism and treachery from within descends on Balrampur and the American contingent there.

A close knit group of bohemian artists and writers gather at an island house for the summer. All but one are self satisfied, and believe they have all they want. And that other one is on the point of coming of age and discovering another part of himself. Steeped in denial and laced with prescription medications to combat nerves, young pop-song composer, Adrian, has belatedly signed on for a summer escape from New York City to Daufuskie Island, an isolated largely absentee millionaires’ retreat near South Carolina’s Hilton Head Island. Summering with Adrian, in tension that builds rather than dissipates, are his older wife, Helena, a novelist; her elder half brother, Damien, a randy painter seeking to mimic the styles of Rousseau and Gauguin on the steamy South Carolina island; Damien’s promiscuous international model younger wife, Tish; and the piggish but powerful book agent to them all, Benjamin Wrangel. Floating around the edges of this volatile core group are Wrangel’s sexy and willing Thai houseboy, Krit, as well as a sensual Adonis native hunk, Vandi; an uninhibited Tahitian-looking model for Damien from the local Gullah community, and an enterprising tourist boat captain. The retreat isn’t going well in terms of helping Adrian to come to grips with his desires and the blockage in his composing muse. And it all begins to boil over when Helena reveals that the novel she’s working on is one exploring relationships—the separation of what she says are the two largest, distinct groups of relationships, those that are primarily sexual and those that are affection relationships. She claims that only a few merge satisfactorily into a combination of two, and that a person is in danger of two such relationships arising and competing at the same time. Will the revelations that arise from Helena’s theories and the steamy couplings he stumbles on—and participates in—early in the summer clarify or deepen Adrian’s unacknowledged issue?

Pansexuals are people for whom sex is sex is sex, regardless of the gender of the “other(s),” and pansexuals have been described as those who don’t care whose pants they’ll put their hand down. This wide-open state of sexual arousal isn’t as well served in stories as other persuasions are. In this anthology Habu provides us with seven “every which way” stories that explore this wide-ranging genre. “B-6 Cowboy Special” takes a bisexual-service rent-boy to a wedding party striptease job never to be forgotten. On a more serious note, “Fissure in the Rock” shows how bisexuality can pulverize a marriage—that it’s not always a happy romp in the bed. In “Purloined Tryst,” a planned Halloween swinger party tryst goes pleasantly awry, while “Retreat Treat” uses art to reveal an “every which way” experience. “Shimmering Guilt” reflects the culmination of years and years of fear of a pansexual nature being exposed. “The Yellow Cadillac” and the “White Bandana Club” are both freewheeling romps in a rocker world and an inventive service club, respectively. As Habu reveals, such a gender “who cares?” approach to one’s sexuality can be liberating or guilt-ridden or just plain good, arousing fun—or any combinations of these. Whatever the mood, pansexuality can serve up interesting stories with inventive twists for the reader looking for something freewheeling and open-minded. We hope you will enjoy these and look for Habu’s next anthology in this genre.

Alex and Pete arguably had the least survivable jobs in World War II. They were American P-47 fighter-bomber aviators, based in England and flying dangerous bombing missions over the continent. Knowing the likelihood they wouldn’t survive, they led a hedonist bisexual sex life when on the ground, aided by men and women who wanted to make what life they had left pleasurable and who themselves wanted to sacrifice in the war effort. It helped that Alex and Pete were both hunks and studs. They had each survived over a hundred missions when the ceiling of expectance was ninety. They, like other pilots, ascribed this to the rituals they went through before flying. Alex and Pete’s rituals extended to sex, including with each other. Alex, the submissive, had grown to see their relationship in terms of love, not just ritual. When Pete fell in love with a young Viscount, though, pre-mission ritual went out the window. Would the two aviators survive this collapse in their rituals?

In this male-perspective bisexual romp, budding novelist and New York English doctoral student, Aiden Macallum, is in a very-much-open marriage of convenience with older Columbia University English professor Sandra Gainsworth. They both fall for and are satisfied by visiting New Zealand author Bram Overby, who invites Sandra to take a sabbatical at his beachfront house in a New Zealand hedonist artists’ colony. Sandra accepts, Aiden tags along, and both become sexually embroiled not only with Overby but also in a community where everyone is doing everyone else and everyone wants to do Aiden. A story of graphic, heterosexual, bisexual, and gay promiscuity, unprotected sex, group sex, interracial sex, and recreational drug use all in the name of creating modern literature.

In anticipation of their Halloween evening date ending in bed, young, promiscuous university instructor Ginnie and university department head Lawrence leave a concert at Wintergreen resort, atop the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, to return to Harrisonburg, in the Shenandoah Valley. Ginnie has had too much to drink and Lawrence has related to friends after the concert some legends of the clearing of the Blue Ridge of mountain folk in the 1930s for the establishment of the Shenandoah National Park and the Skyline Drive. One of the legends is that the spirits of the departed mountain folk rise up on Halloween and return to make their displeasure known. The couple get lost in the folds of the mountains on the way down to the valley and have car trouble. While Lawrence works on the car, Ginnie drifts up into a hollow, enticed by a light—or, in her inebriated state, thinks she has done so. Ripe for sex, she finds it with a young mountain man before coming to at the car as Lawrence gets it fixed. The next day she returns to the hollow in search of answers on whether she’d had divine sex the night before on the mountain or not—only to find all of the forced sex, with multiple men, that she could possibly want. Unless, of course, it’s exactly what she wants.

Interracial Romance and Erotica times 3. The story theme of a generously endowed black man servicing a white woman is a major one in the lexicon of erotica. It just won’t go away, because, in truth, it is a fantasy that many have and want to read about. In this three-story anthology, Chris Cross explores this theme in several different dimensions and scenarios. In “Tall, Dark, and . . . ,” Atlanta office worker Ellen goes on a Caribbean cruise with her friend, Stephanie, precisely to discover and explore the experience of sex with a dark stranger. She finds not one, but two of them, to experience in what is probably the most-used scenario in this genre. In the more free-wheeling and humorous “Christmas Tree Hunting,” a more mature woman, a cougar, goes unabashedly hunting for a particular kind of man to bed her—and finds what she’s looking for. The early twentieth-century story scenario, “Dark Storm on the Neuse,” a love story between an abused young white wife of a prominent North Carolina businessman and a black servant, explores more romantic interracial sex at a time when such coupling wasn’t just looked down at but was a deep risk to take.
