Tales of Greece is an arousing, refreshingly human account of a young man's sexploits during the last weeks of his stay in Greece.
Written as a Travel Log primarily for men who like to have sex with men ... cocktocock. This collection of stories is partly my response to the dearth of entertaining or fun treatments of sex among men ... especially gay men ... available in erotic writing and videos. The gay cultural concept that sex, as an integral part of our identity, should be 'codified' in order to reaffirm that identity, leads some to the misconception that sex must be taken seriously. Serious sexual consumerism. This erotic fiction frees us from such external baggage and celebrates the essentially raunchy and improvisational aspects to one off sexual interactions amongst men.
It has become fashionable of late for erotic fiction to focus on 'hard sex' ... writers making sexual pantomime from what they perceive as 'core gay fetishes'. Here, observing a young man as he is caught in a whirlwind of sexual attention, human touch replaces overt fetishism. By recounting the intuitive, sensual aspects of this slice of time, larger than life sexual events are supplanted by instinctively horny, human, male-to-male encounters.
Tales of Greece is part of a series of books you can read celebrating non-anal sex among men. Enjoy ... there's more to come!

The contemporary 'perceived understanding' of sex between men in modern western gay culture, proves day by day too limiting to encompass the depth and breadth of male sexuality in real life. Never the less, a flawed, absolutist 'misunderstanding' is imprinted on us through media and anecdote, day after week ... now years. Asserting in hard sell marketing sound bites ... what we are and what we desire.
Here a different approach is taken. Written in the first person (I), the recollections of our main character invite the reader to empathise and relive with a young man, all the anticipation, surprise and fun of making sexual contacts on his travels. As this is a work of fiction, 'I' deliberately denotes 'I' as in 'EVERYMAN', a man. Not typified or formulated. A healthy and happy ... but flawed and confused ... male being.
These stories elucidate the intuitive aspects of our sexual behaviour in early adulthood; curious, bold and as yet unencumbered by the ideas of 'cultural peers'. Through these tales I portray not simply the mechanics of sex cocktocock, but how profoundly impressionistic and existentially vital certain male-to-male sexual interactions can be.
Sadly in Western Culture the sexual experiences of early adulthood have become polluted by notions of countless damaged youths ... indulging in sex before they were 'ready'. Here's one up for the beautiful years of 18 to 20! When benign desire and fateful opportunism allow a young man with the urge ... to interact amongst fellows, explore and enjoy the early blooms ... those irreplaceable adult hormone, instinct, testosterone rushes which many yearn to recapitulate in later life, or with every casual sexual encounter ... desperately sometimes. If, like me, late teens is now a while back for you ... or if you're in the thick of it (19) ... remember well and celebrate ... one life ... it's our life ... others cast aspersions on the beauty of our experience only if we let them. In the final existential account, they can never really know ... only I.
Part of a series of books looking at non-anal sex (phalli interactive) among men, entertainment, fun and arousal are implicit, (hand on cock or cocks), to my style of writing.
