For a seeker of stories featuring one of the most extreme gay male fetishes, double anal penetration, the hunt is often a frustrating one that requires extensive research for sometimes only tertiary satisfaction. That hunt is over. This anthology provides twenty-five stories by the prolific erotica author habu that each includes at least one lesser or larger scene of what you are looking for when you are in just “that” mood. These stories, many of which have never been published before, run the gamut from being centered on men seeking that particular sexual coupling, like “Doubling Bets” and “The Exchange Students,” to excerpts of scenes including the sexual act from habu’s many previously published works. There no longer is any need to search extensively for just a hint of a mention here and there-this anthology centers on this specific fetish, from the romantic to the exotic to the nonconsensual and dominated. So, if you are so inclined, get comfortable, open up Doubled, and prepare to double your pleasure. There is no where else you are going to find a collection as extensive and as focused on this particular theme.
habu, a bisexual former supersonic spy jet pilot, intelligence agent, academic, mainstream book editor, and diplomat, is a published mainstream novelist, short story writer, and essayist under other names and in another dimension of his life. He has lived extensively in East and Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Europe as an embassy-based intelligence agent, which influences the settings and plots of many of his stories. He now lives in a picturesque and historical Midatlantic/Upper South state university town, with an accommodating spouse, where he writes, edits, teaches, and indulges himself.
Under the habu name he writes a full spectrum—and heat level—of M/M and bisexual works for the publishing houses of Excessica and BarbarianSpy. He also writes M/M historicals under the pen name Dirk Hessian, and M/M romance with coauthor Sabb under the pen name Shabbu.

I love good M/M kink, and double penetration is one of those kinks (along with fisting) that always gets my gyros in gear. When I came across this anthology I thought I'd hit the mother lode. Some of the stories are snippets of longer works and Habu is at his best when writing fantastic tales of male lust and dominance. A lot of the tales are very dark and non-con figures prominently in most. Pirates, satrys, dwarves are some of the mythical and well-endowed beings that inhabit someof the stories.
Unfortunately it's most of the contemporary shorts that commit epic racefail time and again with the tired old trope of the big black male who's hung like the proverbial horse. I was really put off by the story Snowballing which for all intents and purposes could have been written by some freaky KKK member as a warning about the "voracious sexual appetites" of black men. Another story featured two silver foxes in search of a Thai boy to play with and the broken english just reminded me of "me horny, me love you long time". I seriously don't get why some erotica writers--both male and female--just feel the need to endlessly stereotype and somehow believe that this is a compliment or that it's sexy. For me, it just detracts from the sexiness and smut-factor of the story. No, I'm not looking for Boccacio or DeSade, but really folks.
Just because it's smut doesn't mean it has to fall back on racist tropes to make for hot reading.
*GULPS* Erm this book is all about DP! So far it's totally PWP, snippets or short stories from Habu's work. I'm an extreme kinkster but some of the shorts might be too much for me...I'm going to keep reading though
