meh, this one didn’t win any medals
It’s always a let down for me when the sentient object transforms into human. This was just two humans having fifty pages of mostly gross sex on gymnastics equipment. Wet folds, cream, back hole and all the uncreative words came out for this one, zero points for artistry. I guess I must have Olympic expectations for these books. I expect to laugh and this just wasn’t funny.
Two stars because Pom was cute enough, even if he was just a boring old human.
Let’s ruin the Olympics for me now. 😂 🤸🏼♀️

It took me a few chapters to realize that there was an internal narrative for the pommel horse, named Pom. The amount of blatant sexual harassment from her male counterparts towards our other lead, Elena, was quite jarring and ugly. But you can guess how this all plays out. Like when a princess kisses a frog, and her forever prince becomes a man...a pent-up elite gymnast gets her 'wet folds' all over a pommel horse and it becomes a man. A very naked and sexually needy man. And who the hell is she to say no, right? He's gorgeous and packing a meat hammer that would make any adult film star blush...and also makes Elena squirt more times than an intimidated skunk. The writing itself was good, surprisingly, despite the ludicrous plot. One of these days, I wish one of these erotica stories took some interesting twists and turns. Like imagine is the pommel horse was hung like an elf...or couldn't get Elena to achieve an orgasm. See? There's a conflict that could organically develop a new type of premise for the masses. Perhaps after Peter Topside finishes his next few manuscripts, he should take a shot at some erotica...may be time for that...God help us all.

I.......
Ok so a lot of these sentient object romances at least try to give some sort of lore or magic that explains the sentience of the object or how it comes alive. This book does not even do that. It's a sentient pommel horse. It becomes alive and bones a gymnast's brains out. The end.

First book of 2026 and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Not really sure what I just experienced but… it was something!
Good luck to you if you read this book. I hope you have fun.

Hahahahah what the fuck, who wrote this and are they allg

Sometimes I like to read an insane shock-value book - and this was more enjoyable than I thought it would be. Was it good? God no. But it kept me entertained for half an hour while I three-way buddy read this and I actually laughed out loud a few times - so kudos to you, Sabrina Cross, for being an unhinged human being who thought to write this nonsense in the first place.

It was definitely something! 0 regrets, worth it for the plot - but it was really really weird.

Eh it's Olympics season so I thought why not 😂 even if it did have all the ick words.

A funny read, but not for me compared to similar short stories I’ve read.

Quick, hot little read. Looking for more sentient romance. More M/M if possible. I liked this for what it was.

Oh boy. This was a read. I mainly read this with a friend as a joke and I kind of hate to admit that I had fun reading it. It was hilarious and very obviously facetious (the author writes this themselves in a foreword). Just the idea of a pommel horse turning into a man because of some girls pu**y juices was so funny and entertaining. And his c*ck tasting like Pixie Sticks?! Insane behaviour, 10/10.

I love pom. Nothing like an earnest MMC. Is it ridiculous? Of course! But I wouldn’t want anything else.

Elena, an elite gymnast, is challenged by her rival to learn a full pommel horse routine. A late night of practice quickly takes an unexpected turn when the pommel horse transforms into a man. A man who is very interested in Elena. Adult shenanigans ensue.

Is this a book specifically tells you not to take it seriously? Yes. Will I review it anyway? Also yes. I have somehow, to my delight, become known as the person who “reviews sentient yet inanimate object erotica” within completely separate friend groups, and as such I have standards for the genre. The concept of this short story was timely, as I think many of us gained a new respect for the pommel horse following the Paris Olympics this year. And a pommel horse that harbors a secret hatred for male athletes and is given a corporeal human form after a gymnast decides to hump the gym equipment? Sign me up.
Overall, this was an “exactly what it says it is” type of story. A piece of gym equipment turns into a nearly seven-foot tall man, who then immediately learns what sex is. The main reason I’m rating this lower than similar books in the genre is that I felt the entire pommel horse angle became kind of moot once he was transformed into a man. Thanks to the power of sex, he no longer wishes revenge on male gymnasts and there’s no indication that he may return to his original shape at any point, which is half the fun in my opinion. That said, this was still a fun way to kill a bit of time, and it got a few laughs out of me.
3/5 The Olympics affect all of us in different ways.

Title is super accurate.
Elena (the FMC) definitely gets pounded by a pommel horse turned human. Just when you think “I’m pretty sure I’ve read the weirdest thing I’m going to read,” shit like this pops up and you’re proved wrong.
After making a bet that a female isn’t as good as a male at pommel horse, Elena sneaks into the gym for some practice. She decides that masterbating on the pommel horse is an appropriate thing to do and apparently her juices bring this pommel horse to life. Faced with a now naked man, she does the only thing she can think of in the situation … she names him Pom (because she doesn’t have a creative bone in her body apparently) and lets him eat her out. Again and again. And again. For a guy who was literally just popped into existence, he catches on to the art of female pleasure so damn quickly. Largest piece of fiction in this story tbh.
Elena teaches this newly made guy how to fuck as well. Because why stop halfway at just fellatio? Then after their fuck fear, Elena decides to “keep him” and knows that he’s hers forever. Which honestly seems like a leap. But she’s the one who brought him to life with her magical vagina juices, so he is her responsibility.
An interesting read for sure, with no purpose other than to be weird and be full of smut. We don’t even find out how things pan out for these two, they just walk out of the gym and things fade to black. God speed pommel horse guy.

Do I know how I discovered this? I do not, but it was free and it's, like, thirty pages, so sure.
Because it's 30 pages, it's basically just one long sex scene of dubious origins (which, to their credit, Cross acknowledges--how much consent can a newly-awakened pommel horse give, really). I'm wildly surprised by how much is hinted at around the absolutely absurd premise, though, in terms of "how do objects think about themselves" and "what does attraction look like to someone who doesn't have any language for it." There's a setup of Pom against the human Bryson and showing how being a jerk isn't attractive. There's a (marginal) recognition that sex has to be learned, a bit.
Look, high literature this ain't. I'm very glad it was free. But! I'm also super curious about how, as sex scenes go, this wasn't much more ridiculous than some of what I've read in human m/f and I could definitely see this having some interesting concepts of who Pom becomes if it were longer. Well done, Cross. I'm not going to track down your catalog, but this was a pleasantly humorous way to spend 20 minutes.

Ah yes, the pommel horse—arguably the most confusing piece of gymnastics equipment, now starring in a literary masterpiece that defies both gravity and common sense. *Pounded by the Pommel Horse* is exactly what it sounds like: a wild, unapologetic journey into the kind of fiction that makes you question everything, including why you clicked ‘Buy Now’ in the first place.
Is it absurd? Absolutely. Is it weirdly compelling? Also yes. The story flips, twists, and dismounts in ways no one could have predicted, delivering a reading experience that’s equal parts unhinged and Olympic-level entertaining. If you’ve ever looked at a piece of gym equipment and thought, *What if…?*—this book is for you.
Five stars for sheer commitment to the bit. And because I’ll never be able to watch gymnastics the same way again. 🤸🔥

I read reviews prior to downloading so I wasn’t surprised the pommel would turn human but I was really hoping it would stay sentient for more of the play time. That said, it was fun and funny all the same. One thing I had a hard time wrapping my brain around though is that the FMC and the first male character that were introduced sounded like they technically competed against each other, which doesn’t make sense in the gymnastics world, and her age would also be a question for me as many female gymnasts, unless at Olympic level don’t compete much past their mid/late teens. That aside it was funny, spicy and quick.

Not really a spolier, but more like what I'm imagining in my head as I read about a sentient pommel horse turned well hung sexy man is truly George of the Jungle.
He’s got that Tarzan Wannabe vibe—sensual, playfully attentive, and gently primal. I wanted to swing on that rope, slam into some trees, dance around a fire under the stars, and then go jungle boogie with him against a tree so I can really get down on it.
Five stars for making me fantasize about my forever-and-always daddy, Brendan Fraser.

I’ve read sentient object romance books featuring pillows, blankets, doors, hockey sticks and lamps—this one is also by Sabrina Cross—but I don’t think I could have imagined reading an SOR featuring a pommel horse.
Once again, what fascinates me about these kinds of books—beyond the creativity of their authors—is their ability to make me forget my problems while I read them, allowing me to simply enjoy the humour of the story. Pounded by the Pommel Horse was no exception, and I really enjoyed it.

Seasonally appropriate
An object brought to life by….and then he smelled…..and then they…..Is this silly, yes. Did this contain plot, character growth, intrigue, and lots of satisfactory endings…..well, maybe for pommel horse, which is all that matters for this quick and quirky read…LOL

Continuing on with my journey in sentient romance, we have the pommel horse turned human.
Very confusing on exactly how it happens. But hey, the man, horse, whatever you went to call him, loved to eat some p**sy. And we cannot fault him for that.
Pixie stick flavored 💦 threw me for a LOOP. And im intrigued.
All in all. Thoroughly entertained.

Literally pure smut, but I'm not complaining. Three star rating based off the wild and wonderful smut.
A gymnast gets off on top of a pommel horse, which was the magic it needed to transform into a living breathing human!
Wild, weird, smutty af!

LOL WHAT DID I JUST READ?! I saw a description of this in an instagram video and my friend and I realized it’s 36 pages. What the hell. So unhinged. Laughed out loud. Crazy. Crazy. Crazy. 3 stars for the chaos.
December 28, 2024
I read this after I watched a video review and I was flabbergasted. Is it great? No I wouldn’t categorize it as that at all, but if you need quick smut and aren’t particular or are really into gymnastics this is for you.
January 5, 2025
Alrighty this one was a very very short read but I did like it. It was about a gymnast doing less than noble things with a pommel horse basically. This author definitely knows how to write some good smut at least to me anyways.

Okay
This was recommended to me years ago. I just got it to read. I've read stories about inanimate objects coming alive. This one was not for me. The intimate scene was a 2/10 for me. It ended; not for sure if it was HFN or HEA. Oh well!

Read this with some friends for pure comedy gold and it delivered. Who comes up with this stuff? Ha!

I couldn't even be amused by the ridiculousness of it because the author clearly knows nothing about gymnastics.
