A View to A Thrill: The World Of the Voyeur And the Men Who Like To Be Watched

by Felice Picano, Paul J. Willis (editor), William Holden

In this thrilling new anthology, Willis has assembled some of the most talented erotica writers currently publishing, writers who understand the nuance of language as well as the importance of a hard cock. From the watchful eyes (and sticky keyboards) of M. Christian, Greg Herren, Michael Huxley, Felice Picano, Ian Philips, Simon Sheppard, Kyle Stone, Greg Wharton, and many other voyeurs come these tales that will make the reader think while taking them to heights of sensory imagination never thought possible-into the world of the voyeur and the men who like to be watched. A View to a Thrill blows the lid off the dual taboo of exhibitionism and voyeurism, exposing everyone's dark little secret.

Reviews

[Liam Ostermann · Rating 1 out of 5]

A collection of sort-of erotic stories set around the theme of voyeurism. I found all of the stories banal and predictable and not very erotic, or should I say stimulating. That is not because there is not plenty of descriptive details, and it is not because I don't like or have an objection to lascivious details, I just find the erotic-porn staples get tired very quickly. Maybe I have too good an imagination or know of better sources of stimulation. But when the same old tropes about size and body types get trotted out I can help wondering how anyone who has been attracted to men, in all their wondrous variety, can enjoy this stuff. Sex, after the first few times, is wonderful because of its infinite variety. If we all waited around for the ten inch dick-of-death on a swimmers body we would all die missing so much.

Clearly this sort of stuff appeals to many. It doesn't appeal to me.
