"He was warm, so warm and fresh. His noodly appendages embraced me in return, and I couldn’t help but notice how firm they were, just…al dente.

I felt the strangest thing then. A stirring of desire. His meatballs were so firm and juicy, like, you know. Well, shit, any pair of body parts that turn you on, all in one. I could feel the firm, incredibly large bucatini between His…legs for a lack of a better word. I started getting an erection."


Campbell, our horny protagonist (also shares show more his name with the popular soup brand, coincidence??), got an erection for this:



The Spaghetti Flying Monster.

And the Pasta Monster Deity...performs anal on a human man.

This author takes gay erotica and pasta to merge them into one weird as fuck PWP with Santa jism sprinkled on top.



For reals.

If you ever looked at a plate of spaghetti and meatballs and thought...hmm I wonder how it'd be if I fucked that, you get your wish in this story.



A main issue I have with a lot of PWP: when you try to tie in smarts into a PWP.

It's PORN WITHOUT PLOT. Very rarely can political arguments or views on religion work when the reader wants to fucking stroke one out.

Do you really think someone wants to have their cock out and wonder about the Texas school system?

You can make all the valid points you want.

But a guy got gay sexed in the butt by pasta. He got spaghetti sauced jizzed by spaghetti noodles.

That trumps EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!! You don't get that out the brain. It stays. Horny, anal loving noodles beats any political argument you want to make.

This is 2.5 stars but I had a couple of chuckles out of it.

Oh and the pasta sex.



A board filled with smutty possibilities or dinner?

A new take on werewolves mythology

I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this story. It roped me in right from the start. I love reading about NY and NY history, and being a Brooklyn girl, I enjoyed reading about places that are familiar to me. I found myself cheering for the the Society and the war on gentrification. I also enjoyed the dynamic between Darien and Albeus, they were hot together. I am really hoping this is the first of many books, I want to know the story of each member of the show more court. show less
I was surprised by this one. Always kind of a sucker for what I'd describe as the novelization of a gay romantic comedy, Orland Outland combines the stuff that makes for the best beach reads with issues and sentiments that force your brain into gear. Very much worth the mocking I endured (I will admit, the covers scream "fluffy love book").
I enjoy a good story about sports because it makes me wonder just what a profound effect all of the gay players would have on young people today if they all came out. As we saw in this story, Roger and Brian went through hell sneaking around and living in the closet. This story was both well written and beautifully paced. I was sucked right into the story from the beginning and it never let me go. The story showed much of the demanding life of a professional athlete and just how easy it is show more to get lost in the demands of the career. I liked both Roger and Brian and their individual struggles to reach the top of their careers and how easily one can fall from the top. Did their sexuality affect their talent, not really. Did it make them better people, not really. It just made them human as we all are. show less
