And Then Her Mouth: Short Stories for the Not-So-Faint of Heart
Ms. Jordan lives the life she loves, and loves the life she lives. The stories in this collection are torn from her own life, but the names have been changed to protect the guilty. Shot through with emotional honesty, this isn't the typical tedious smut you can get off the rack at the dirty bookstore. It's tasteful, yet explicit erotica for thinking adults.
This material not suitable for readers under eighteen.

Excerpted from the full review:
"I’ve long been of the opinion that there ought to be some measure of subtlety in the writing of sex. A panting slather of erogenous zone names, rubbed together on the page, leaves me distinctly…dry. A preponderance of ‘bulging, turgid members’ meeting ‘quiveringly helpless mounds’ leads to a laziness of craft — just because the parts fit together doesn’t mean a writer need mash them in textually ’til they’re sore, and we’re bored. Portia Klee Jordan’s audacious, poetic and elegantly perverse collection, ‘And Then Her Mouth’, works toe-curlingly well for me because it doesn’t aim to evade the subtle artistry of good writing. It dives into it, gaping-mawed, and sucks us in — and we go; willingly, we go.
A principal selling point of this gathering of dirty divulgences is that they’re not a precocious tween’s teeth-cutting panty twisters (though you might stumble across at least one ingenue ripe for the picking among these pages). These are eighteen investigations of a persistently purple desire. The word ‘purple’ comes at us at many a turn in these tales - lurking ’round one too many a corner, for my liking. Still, if it best expresses, for Jordan, a particular aura, a no holds barred zone of throbbing openness, then a few too many purples are a miserly toll, spare change you won’t miss as you speed along this open highway of well-weathered pleasure-seekers."

I couldn't finish. It is supposed to be vignettes of erotica but I did not find any to be terribly fun. They were trying for "Avant-garde", but all they managed to get was confusion.
