Sweet Life 2: Erotic Fantasies for Couples Paperback – March 1, 2003

Couples everywhere look for inspiration to keep their sex lives hot. The sales of books about sexual fantasy aimed at heterosexual couples prove how determined readers are to ignite that erotic spark. But most of those books are boringly tame, selling short the sexual refinement of their readers. Good Vibrations sex educator Violet Blue corrects this trend showcases imaginative, sophisticated stories to arouse "newlyweds" and long-term partners alike with steamy, sexually explicit fantasies.

This book just did not do it for us. We purchased this book (and Sweet Life: Erotic Fantasies for Couples) based on the reviews from other couples and women. We were sorely disappointed. But maybe our type of fantasies are different from others. Male-Male Bisexuality and enemas do not fit our view point of erotic fantasies.

However, based on the writing style, the stories are well written. We gave this 3 stars because the fantasies are just not our type, but the writing style is VERY well done.

Just not for us.

Erotica is a tough genre - these stories are titillating but not overly graphic.

5.0 out of 5 stars 100% hot sex!
Reviewed in the United States on April 30, 2003
This book runs the gamut of sexual fantasies and does not shy away from some pretty taboo subjects. But what I like most (besides the really good writing) is that the graphic subject matter is dealt with tastefully and all experiences are had within the context of couples who are deeply in love with each other. My favorite stories were Special Occasion where a woman has sex with a stranger while her husband hides and watches, and Curious where a woman in a couple tries out sex with a call girl. There are many other gems in here, some are what you'd expect and others are very surprising (sometimes shocking) fantasies, but none of them are predictable. This collection is 100% hot sex.

The stories are written very well. As I read and shared with my spouse she expressed a reluctance to go down some of the paths provided in the book. That does not mean the book is bad, but it did prevent me from realizing full value from it. After looking at some of the review for Sweet Life 1 I am going to go back and purchase that and see if we can work our way up to Sweet Life 2.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Book - Not for Beginners
Reviewed in the United States on March 29, 2005
The stories in this book are very well written and the editing was very good. I had recently purchased another book and thought that it was very poorly written (see my other reviews), which is a pet peeve of mine. A lot of writers of erotic fiction seem to think that as long as they write about sex, the quality of the writing does not matter. There also appears to be a general tendancy for erotic writers to "force" their stories upon you, rather than present them in a way that lets them unfold before you. In this case, however, the editor seems to have chosen stories written by authors with a higher quality of writing style, and that made these stories very pleasurable to read.

That being said, I do have to warn that the stories in this book are not for the faint of heart, so if either you or your lover is uncomfortable with unconventional sexual practices, this may not be the book for you. Although the language and descriptions found in these stories are explicit and hot, the stories are primarily exciting because they are about unconventional sex. This book is designed for people who get excited about sex-games on the edge. In it you will find stories about threesomes, urination-play, strap-on play, and other such activities. You will not find stories about making love in a meadow of wild flowers! So if you plan to read this book in bed with your lover and she (or he) is squeemish about that type of thing, you should be forewarned that the acts described in this book might make her (or him) a little uncomfortable.

On the other side of the coin, I do have to say that within the subjects covered, the stories are generally about couples who love and care for each other, which makes this a very good book to share with your lover, assuming that you are both open minded and not offended or scared off by very kinky sex. One thing that I really liked about the stories in this book was that the authors wrote about unconventional sex that was taking place in a context of a caring relationship. Although the subject matter requires an open mind, the writers and editor did a great job of making them couple-friendly.

If you are a couple looking for your first book of erotica, this book could be a little bit over the top and you may want to look for another book and "work your way up" to this one. But if you and your lover are used to reading erotica together, or if you are both open minded people and stories about non-traditional sex excites you, then this book may be for you and it is well suited for lovers to share together. The stories are very hot and they are very well written which makes this a very enjoyable book.

3.0 out of 5 stars Plusses and minuses
Reviewed in the United States on February 18, 2006
There's a lot to like in these stories. They offer plenty of variety in the fantasies played out, and in choice of his or her point of view. They're explicit, exciting, and literate - these stories don't drift off into impenetrable euphemism or anatomical absurdity. And, in the end, almost every story portrays consensual play.

The negatives in this collection are only in matters of personal preference. I'm not a fan of the more aggressive kinds of play, even if it's just play. "Sweet Life 1" had many fewer themes of coercion or dom/sub, and I liked it better for that reason. If you and yours like the sharper edge to your erotic games, you'll enjoy this collection more than I do.
