BOOK BLURB:
An anthology of erotic stories where gender is up for grabs. Thousands of people spend time on the Internet identified with a gender other than the one they were born with, for erotic gratification or to stretch their imaginations. But we asked our writers what if you got a tax break for changing your gender? What if you could choose to be no gender at all until you went on a date? What are the implications, both sexual and social, of gender possibilities beyond the choices and ideas our society currently holds.

BOOK REVIEW:
Delicious, delirious, delightful! I couldn't put down this collection of five thought provoking, totally fresh and completely hot stories of gender turned on its ear (or some other body part).

"Only For Myself" by Zachary Jernigan leads off the collection with a very surprising twist. "Fair Play" by David D. Levine is a brief transgender tale told entirely in dialogue. Ellen Tevault's "Transplant" puts us in the skin of Katrina, formerly Lance, who looks forward to her gender reassignment surgery, made possible through a body parts swap with Chad, formerly Char. "Passage" by Anya Levin has lesbian Maya worrying her lover won't want her once Maya undergoes a passage from female to male.

The real crown jewel in this treasure chest of sci-fi, though, is Vinnie Tesla's magnificent "The Ontological Engine, or, The Modern Leda." In this tongue-in-cheek (pun intended) tale set in the Victorian era, Daedalus Tesla (cousin of the famed Nikola) carries out bold sexual experiments. It has all the turn-of-the-last century charm and magic of the novel or film The Prestige, but with many more saucy ejaculations.

This collection is simply a must-read.
