Man maybe I’m just an old hag but retouch/switch felt like word salad. It sounded beautiful but I couldn’t glean meaning. Perhaps if I reflected further on it and tried to analyze but I’m not in school so I’ll skip.

The Voyeurs was good though I had to get my bearings a little as some stuff seemed more confusing on first glance. I loved the ending with the neighbor feeling so ashamed and the irony of his pleas, “stop looking at me”

The Temple of Horror was a long one. It was a true example of totally requited, unrequited love if that makes any sense at all. I don’t think it was the strongest and with it being, thus far, the longest, I don’t feel like it justifies itself enough. 6.5/10

Scissors was soooo good. Wrought with tension and oozing voyeuristic sexuality, 10/10.

Overall, Gospodar was really intense. I feel so sad for what happened to the main character towards the end, but it was interesting to see that kind of thing from a male perspective as I’ve only ever been exposed to literature, where the female is being assaulted by a male not a male being assaulted by a male. I thought the use of Bulgarian mixed in was incredibly intriguing and at most times very sexy. 8/10

So this is the first story that I’ve actually stopped in the middle of to annotate or to track progress on I suppose. But I really loved this passage on bottom 156-157 top

Reach was fine. Definitely beautifully written, erotic. I enjoyed not knowing the gender of the protagonist/dom.

Mirror, Mirror— woah, what a beautiful and poignant piece of writing. This has been my favorite so far. It’s about a man who hires a trans woman for sex and the entire thing is erotic and endearing from start to both of their finishes. 😏

“Impact Play” was a wild ride, I totally understand some of the things both characters, Gavin and Pilar, were going through but I did have a feeling about the cousin early on 🤧

“Oh, Youth” was interesting though the ending was very “you decide what happens” I feel like, maybe it’s too cerebral for me. 7.5/10
