Product Description
From award-winning author Lee Hayes -- an erotic exploration into the lives of African-American gay men and their desires for love and acceptance. Unapologetically raw in its approach to the sexual lives and happenings of African-American gay men, Flesh to Flesh is a gritty, pulsing view into a demographic that is often demonized and condemned. These stories provide a rare, true revelation of how gay men are faring in an age where sensuality is a major factor in everyday media and consciousness. What do gay men feel about life, love, relationships, and intimacy? For anyone who has wondered about the passion between two men, this explosive, sexually charged anthology peels back the layers to show what lies beneath modern stereotypes and homophobia. With contributors such as Lee Hayes (Passion Marks, A Deeper Blue and The Messiah), L.M. Ross (Manhood and The Long Blue Moan), and Dayne Avery (I Wrote This Song), the stories in Flesh to Flesh reveal deep emotions and a powerful commitment to life and love.

 Appreciates Love October 6, 2008
Maybe as a female, I shouldn't comment but I really appreciate good love stories and since I love Lee Hayes.....Stories were well written and erotic, not trashy like a lot of anthologies are. I read like a month ago so I can't remember the titles but the story with the guys in the train and the guys that had the falling out in the club were my favs. The barbershop, please use condoms! I'd highly recommend to anyone looking for a great, hot book!
Falsely Adverstised But Overall Good September 9, 2008
Overall I can say I enjoyed this book being a fan of black gay erotica. But,the back suggests that it is an "erotic exploration into the lives of
African-American gay men and their desires for love and acceptance." So
I thought okay cool another good black gay male erotic anthology for my
collection,considering there aren't many in existence as of yet. But then
I read " The Summer of The Hippie" and " The One " which featured no black
characters at all! And suddenly I thought okay...I don't get it,I mean I
thought the book jacket stated...But the 2 stories were good,in particular
" The Summer of The Hippie " was well written but no black men. Not to be
extreme but I thought this was a bit odd and misguiding.But anyway the cover alone of the beautiful brotha is worth the book.
Great anthology, creative stories a class above the rest August 23, 2008

I usually find "erotic anthologies" to be boring, generally full of poorly-written short stories with a page and a half of build-up then four pages of "hot talk" trying to make the action seem more interesting than it actually is. That's why I was pleasantly surprised with this particular collection, which features creative stories - most highlighting African-American men - by a group of writers ranging from well-known to promising new talent. The individual novellas are generally well developed, with realistic, diverse (in race, age, and sexual orientation) characters and situations, and well-paced erotic content that adds to the enjoyment of the story.
Can't possibly comment on all 21 stories, but my favorites included Jayden Blake's "The One" (in which a gay man finds himself as best man when his ex marries a girl he introduced him to), and Neil Plakcy's "The Summer of the Hippie" (a young man spends the summer before starting his ivy league college learning life lessons from a free-spirited guy visiting his neighbor.) There is bound to be something here for anyone's taste. I give the collection four stars out of five.

The novellas in the book were off the chain! I am a big fan of Lee Hayes and now I can add a few more authors to my huge book list. If you love reading about man to man encounters, this is the book to get! The stories are hot and very sexual.
