Reviews: Take Me There

Take Me There —Trans and Genderqueer Erotica — edited by Tristan Taormino.

In mainstream media, the erotic identities, sex lives and fantasies of transgender and genderqueer people are often oversimplified, sensationalized or invisible. Take Me There is an erotic collection unlike any other, celebrating the pleasure, heat and diversity of transgender and genderqueer sexualities. These stories will take you from San Francisco to Israel, from heartache to lust, from ballet shoes to a bondage table, from M to F and F to M—and in between and beyond.

With contributed stories by Gina De Vries, Rahne Alexander, Ivan Coyote, Helen Boyd, Giselle Renarde, Dean Scarborough, Evan Swafford, Jacques La Fargue, Kiki DeLovely, Kate Borenstein, Toni Amato, Sandra McDonald, Andrea Zanin, S. Bear Bergman, Anna Watson, Julia Serano, Rachel K. Zall, Alicia E. Goranson, Rachel Kramer Bussel, Michael Hernandez, Shawna Virago, Sinclair Sexsmith, Arden Hill, Zev, Tobi Hill-Meyer, Penelope Mansfield, Skrian McGuire, Laura Antoniou, and Patrick Califia

What Naked Readers Think:

From Antipova: Take Me There is not just for those who bend gender themselves—anyone who enjoys a well-written, hot story will find lots to love in these 238 pages. Physical and emotional descriptions of lust—from a variety of characters in so many situations. Whether you relate to closeness when a vulnerability is shared, or to electricity when a connection is shared—many of the stories in Take Me There cut to the core of what every human has in common. And they’re HOT!

From Bluekaren: I highly recommend this book. These gender bending stories have all the elements to satisfy your darkest desires. Fisting, sex toys, clothes fetishes, BDSM…it is all inside. The book features 29 authors with so much variety, I had a hard time putting the book down.

From Bzzingbee: Take Me There is a wonderful collection of stories outside the traditional gender roles. There is a little of everything in this book and you will find something you love while learning something new.
