collection of short stories about joining the mile high club, A couple of the stories I wished had more content, as in I want to know what happened to these people after their encounters.
B It was one of my favs even though it was told innd person my least favorite pov.
The MC is meeting her online pin pal for an ellicit encounter, but things don't go quite as planned.
When I got to the end I let out of huff of laughter, I was thinking "what if" during the story, and my what if came true,
Bermuda Triangle I got the feeling that the female MC was older, The story features a threesome and it was hot, She was definitely the one in control of these two young men, I would love to see this one more fleshed out to see if they would continue on with an actual relationship.
As for the rest they weren't bad they just didn't pull me in as much as these two did.
Rachel Kramer Bussels newest collection brings to life the popular fantasy of having sex on an airplane, from commercial jets to private planes and even aboard Air Force One.
Couples and strangers alike manage to find ways to surreptitiously get each other off as they fly the friendly skies, spicing up their sex lives with a dash of exhibitionism, excitement, and danger.
In these steamy stories, readers encounter seductions by strangers, naughty flight attendants and perverted pilots, a screen star whos hottotrot, a female flying instructor who takes two male students under her wing, and a couple who take advantage of the latest in inflight technology.
Featuring works by Geneva King, Alison Tyler, Thomas S, Roche, Elizabeth Coldwell, Jeremy Edwards, and others, these authors go way beyond the crowded airplane bathroom to show just how many ways there are to get it on while onboard.
With a name like "The Mile High Club,"
should I expect notes on a song by Bow Wow Wow or a Liz Phair video Knowing it's an anthology of erotic short stories, I have a few ideas: sexy stewardesses in skintight skirts, proud pilots with prodigious.
. . pants. Of course, I could be wrong,
The anthology edited by Rachel Kramer Bussel is more than pilots and stewardesses, although they do feature in a few stories.
Most of the stories involve passengers, Lavatory trysts, alluded to on the cover of the book, are pretty common, though the authors get pretty inventive.
Another common method for sex in the sky involves passengers seated next to each other while covered by a common blanket.
However, these illicit affairs are unneeded in a couple of stories, such as "Flights of Fancy", which features an airline devoted to sex, and "Get On, Get Off" which introduces the idea of Masturbation Class.
Getting away from the airlines, we are presented with "Bermuda Triangle" which features a female flight instructor and two male students who do everything she says.
"Wing Walker" takes the idea of sex in flight to a new level, when a couple engages in activities on the top wing of a biplane.
One story, "Planes, Trains, and Banana Seat Bicycles," doesn't involve sex in the skies, While it is a great story, it seems a bit out of place in this book,
All of the stories are good or great, Although they only averaged aboutpages each, these nineteen sexy short stories only scratched the surface of the Mile High Club concept.
I hope to see followup anthologies, because I think there is a lot of uncharted territory in this area.
Maybe in the future we can read stories with helicopters, Flying boats. Dirigibles! Just the number of creative ways that the authors collected by Rachel Kramer Bussel in The Mile High Club find for their characters to get off while in the air makes reading the book a fun adventure.
Except for one delicious fantasy, all of the stories are realistic enough to get readers thinking about a plan for their own initiation into the club.
Someone who could never figure out how to get tab A into slot B within the crowded confines of the cattle cars that pass for planes these days, will be inspired by the myriad opportunities described.
The stories range from encounters with nevertobeseenagain strangers to romantic beginnings that have the potential for longterm couplings as well as already existing relationships enhanced by the experience.
There's something for everyone with male/female, female/female, and male/male encounters, And thanks to technology, a couple of steamy stories have only one of the participants on the plane.
Hot sex aside, the stories are all wellwritten with strong character development, As someone who needs more than just good sex to make a story enjoyable, I found this a most delightful read.
A nice little collection of smut stories, . . Nice when you want something short and naughty to read, These stories were okay. I think I was expecting more, so I really didn't rate them very high, When I packed Flying High: Sexy Stories From the Mile High Club for my spring break trip to Los Angeles, I appreciated the irony but did not expect much.
“How many ways are there to have sex on an airplane” I thought to myself, looking around my mostly empty direct flight from Hartfords tiny Bradley airport to LAX.
In retrospect, what a stupid question to ask, When dealing with anthologies, especially superbly edited, diverse anthologies like Rachel Kramer Bussels, the issue is never “how many ways” but “where is the limit”
Themed anthologies run the risk of becoming repetitive, particularly when confined to a location.
But Flying High pushes its theme into new territory, surpassing the classic bathroom quickie to explore the trysts of open air acrobats in Cheyenne Blues Wing Walker, and the midflight threesome of a flight instructor and her two male students in Vanessa Vaughns Bermuda Triangle.
Other stories stay fresh with new plot twists like Bill KtepisB, in which Nancy arranges to meet a pen pal from the Internet on her flight and gets more than she bargained for forgive the cliché but I dont want to spoil it.
Bussels Urgent Message combines kink and technology to make sitting in coach far more than just tolerable,
One of the strongest inclusions is Instrument Flight Rules by Zach Lindley, a stunning example of how short form erotica can still be characterdriven.
Pilot Dane Leonard is recovering from his divorce when he meets his female counterpart, Pilot Max Travis, Their sexual tension is touching and gorgeously done, and the story is far more emotionally affecting than I am used to finding in lighthearted erotic anthologies.
But my favorite story by far is Stan Kents Aisle Seat, The plot is quintessential, sure, A man sits in aisle seat next to a beautiful woman and they have sex in the bathroom, their language barrier proving no radical challenge.
But damn is this story lush in its description of both the characters and their midair antics, At several moments I had to put the book down, very aware that I was reading it in my boyfriends parents house.
Aisle Seat tormented me in a way I hadnt experienced before, embedding itself in my brain and remaining a daydream as I write this review three weeks later.
It pushed this anthology from great read to wait this might be my favorite anthology ever, And I dont say that lightly as someone who has been reading erotica nonstop for eight months as thesis research.
So yes, I did learn a great deal about how to have sex on an airplane from Flying High.
Blankets are your friends, never underestimate the kinkiness of the airline staff, and dont be afraid of passing encounters with delicious strangers.
Unfortunately for me, the time difference between Connecticut and Los Angeles ensured I never got to put any of my newfound knowledge to use: I spent my redeye home passed out against my boyfriends shoulder.
Definitely pick up a copy of Flying High: Sexy Stories From the Mile High Club here regardless of your interest in smutty international travel.
This anthology is for anyone who enjoys remarkable creativity in erotica,
