Taste Test: Blind Dates
Blind Dates have a rotten reputation for a reason. They can be risky, at best, but not all of them have to end badly. In The Cure by Jodi Payne, researcher Jeremy humors his friend and meets Ben for a blind date. He thinks Ben is a little too arrogant, and decides there won't be a second date, but Ben's bravery in the face of danger might just change his mind. In Dinner and a Movie, by Alex Marcus-Jacobs, Mark's co-worker sets him up with another man, thinking it will be a great joke. Mark fools everyone, though, when he lets his curiosity have free rein. And in Catching Out, by Lee Benoit, Al is ready to take on a new relationship, so his family and friends set him up on a slew of blind dates. When he meets Mole, he sees a whole new life opening up. Can Al find the courage to go for it? Find out how these blind dates turn out!

The first two tales were just OK, but Lee Benoit's "Catching Out" was really sweet and really well done.

April 2, 2009A beautiful and arousing anthology, I have problem to say what story I like more.
Blind Faith by Kiernan Kelly: Jules and Devin, both college professor and gay. But not lover. Cause Jules is blind and Devin is too apprensive. And Jules doesn't want a partner who thinks he is not equal to him. Then Devin want to experiment how lives a blind man (for he is a writer and need to write about a blind character) and Jules agrees to help him, and when finally Devin will understand that Jules is not a dependent man, Jules will show Devin how exciting could be sex when one sense is lost
The Gift by Jodi Payne: Ian and Jeff are old time lovers, but lately Jeff has had some personal issues, and Ian wants to give him a birthday gift. But he has no money and maybe the best birthday present is to give himself totally to Jeff, and a blindfolds will help Jeff to forget even if for only one night all his problems and enjoy a simple but hearth-given present.
How I Came to Meet Him by Willa Okati: a little tale how a Master has met his Pet. No name, only some hints of physical characteristic, cause in a Master/Pet relationship doesn't matter who is older or who is bigger, only matter who pleases whom and if that pleases him. Despite the matter, there isn't a game of pleasure/pain, it's only a question of behaviour and willingness to submit. And Pet is a beautiful beast to tame.
Very short stories, but they are not only merely sex scenes. Every one has interisting plot and complete and complex characters. In every story, blindfolds is equal to trust, trust in your partner, faith he will not harm you, but only bring pleasure.
