Seven stories skillfully depict seven different bisexual husbands whose cravings for a same-sex tryst have reached the point of no return, and their wives can't wait to watch -- or join in, sometimes controlling the action. Layered characters and vivid, clever fantasies drive this compendium of bisexual men in loving couples who want to get dirty -- sometimes taking turns as the center of a three-way where there's truly no limits.
In "Your Turn" an unsuspecting husband is turned into a plaything by his wife and her dominant executive boss; in "Pick Up The Interest" a woman orchestrates payback for a secret same-sex favor her husband received in college. "Roger's Fault" watches a husband find out his wife wants to be "one of the boys" in a same-sex threesome; "Sparks Will Fly" finds a wife picking up a total stranger in an exclusive hotel for a surprise encounter her husband will never forget.
In editor Violet Blue's award-winning style, this collection takes graphic erotica, casts each story with complex and relatable characters, puts them in the hands of exciting writers, and blends literary erotica with hardcore. Bisexual Husbands delivers a rich erotic anthology, artfully spiked with charming cocktail recipes and playful tips for trying out bisexual fantasies in real life. Blue's introduction to the book "Bisexual and Voracious" features steamy story excerpts within an essay that looks at perceptions of male bisexuality and takes apart what everyone gets wrong about bi men -- namely, that they don't really exist. This book shows exactly (and graphically) just how hot bisexual men can be.
This book contains adult situations, including domestic discipline, backdoor and oral play, power exchange, role-play, bisexual men, and explicit scenes. The book also depicts non-monogamous relationships and sexual activity (and penetration) involving more than two individuals.

Not sure what why I read this book but bloody glad I did. Is there a latent bi in us all..don't know but these stories were a real turn on for me. A lot of scheming ladies again feature..don't you just love 'em! Ps..loving Alison Tyler's writing, very sexy storyteller.
Violet Blue wrote a nice intro to this short anthology, but then she interjected snippets from the stories throughout the intro. Why? They didn't add anything to the points she was trying to make. Also, the book would have recipes for alcoholic drinks every couple of chapters. Again, WHY?!??! I didn't pick up a book called "Alcoholic Husbands" on purpose. There's also a couple of nonfiction chapters on how to get started with anal play. Sorry, but there's better resources online and I'm only here for the steamy M on M action. So, stars deducted for the overall production.
The writing is all technically good, well edited and written to a YA+ lexical level. It's nowhere as good as anything Vanessa De Sade has written, but it was passable. All the stories are contemporary, middle class, and whiteness is assumed. In other words, milquetoast boring. The prevailing theme is "husband's first time". I'm don't have a virginity kink so I found that repetitive and bothersome. All of the stories barely mention the mechanics of sex, especially for first time anal. I get that these are fantasies, but it still took me out of the moment every time. Two of the stories were written in second person POV, so I feel like I got ripped off - those stories may as well not exist for me because I do not read second person POV.
I'm torn between two and three stars. Was it worth US$3.89? No, it's not - so two stars it gets. If it were US$0.99 I would give it three stars, but there just isn't enough steamy content in this book to justify the cost.
Private Lessons by Emilie Paris One of the better stories - does a good job of building up the tension M(Husband) + M // F(Wife) watching
Pick Up The Interest by Jodi Fowler second person POV, skipped
Endings by Julia Moore I found the scenario difficult and the "surprise" ending unbelievable. The smut was meh. F(W) + M cuckold // M(H) +M +F
Tell Me About It by Dante Davidson second person POV, skipped
Your Turn by Craig Thompson I find boss/employee smut to be a bit squicky. Also, totally unnecessary S/M that made no sense. F(W)+M cuckold // M(H) + M + F
Sparks Will Fly by Alison Tyler The scene setup some great sex, but the actual smut was so pedestrian M(Husband) + M // F(Wife) watching
