"Young and Horny: 10 Gay Erotic Short Stories" by Matthew Rettenmund

I read and really enjoyed Matthew Rettenmund's novels "Boy Culture" and "Blind Items: A (Love) Story."  I also follow his blog, BoyCulture.  So when he mentioned that he had put together a book of gay erotica, "Young and Horny: 10 Gay Erotic Short Stories," and was selling it on Amazon for under $1, I decided to check it out.

All but one of the stories are male/male pairings (the final one is female/female).  They are stories that Rettenmund wrote (and in many cases, published in gay magazines and anthologies) in the '90s.

The stories are pretty much what you want from erotica - hot, sexy, short - though Rettenmund is a better writer than many who are currently publishing erotica on Amazon, and he has a really good sense of humor that shines through in some of the stories.

If your tastes run more toward the written word than the downloaded movie clip, "Young and Horny" has a good collection of stories for you.  I will admit that it probably wasn't the best choice for subway reading, but when you only have a limited number of minutes a day when you can read, you do what you have to.

If you've read Rettenmund's blog or previous novels (or have seen Q. Allan Brocka's film adaptation of "Boy Culture"), I suggest checking out this book.  Plus, it's kind of interesting to peek inside an author's head and see what he thinks is hot.
