Beautiful boys, boys hard for professors, goth boys, tanned and muscular surfer boys, scruffy headbanger boys – all kinds of boys create friction with each other and their older counterparts in Boys in Heat. This anthology has a satisfying amount of stories with hardcore sex, but also a few that are experimental in form. Several stories are so well-written as to be more literary than erotica, so the sex feels even hotter for its seamless presence, like a quick glance at the dirty parts of salacious classic novels. This is a collection full of stories of lean, muscular boys filled with lust.
Lost in a big city, a young guy finds the older, grizzled, lanky chef of his dreams in "A Recipe For…" by Kal Cobalt. He searches for the older chef, finds that he's the head chef of a swanky restaurant, and is treated to food and a trip to the back room of a sex club, where he's petted and shown off. He's treated to a long, hard fucking inside of his tight hole by the chef, who then vanishes into the big city, leaving the kid to discover more adventures for himself. I found this story to be perfectly hot: the chef confident, full of desire; the young guy at first shy and embarrassed, but then eager to give up control.
Two young goth boys, Damien and Brandon, meet for a hotel tryst in "Hooking Up" by J.M. Snyder, a story with decadent, seedy teenage-goth details for the Trent Reznor fans out there. It's a rarity to find goth boys in an anthology like this, let alone two, but in this story, both are fierce and seductive–picture black eyeliner and chipped black fingernail polish, sweat and patchouli, tight pants and impressive packages. Damien, the power bottom "cam whore," seduces his friend into fucking on camera, and brings out the new, exhibitionist top in Brandon. The scene of a first-time top fucking a tight, gorgeous, experienced bottom is not to be missed.
"Cockfighting" by Keith Peck is one of the edgier stories, featuring two headbanger buddies, Snake and Skunk, who take turns gangbanging their friend Justin, all three stoned. The graphic details of bodily excretions were intense. The two are authentically rock, with their skintight ripped denim, but the story went into such detail about the dirt, sweat, headcheese, hair and cum all combined into one, that it read like one long dirty pot-soaked bad dream. I loved the complexity of the story and the rich language, but found the grime and sensory overload too distracting to sift through to the fucking (and the fucking was often done using said mixture of excretions). For those willing to stomach it, this story is like being in the green room post-concert, servicing your favorite metal band when they haven't showered in months or maybe years.
"Duffle" by Dallas Angguish is nearly the polar opposite of "Cockfighting," a clean, simple coming-of-age story about Joey Verona, a young surfer off to college in the surfing capital of Santa Cruz. He is newly freed from living under the thumbs of his conservative parents and wrestling with an inner lust for guys ‒ especially an irresistible hard-on for his good friend Dusty, his older brother's best friend who secretly taught him how to surf (of course, they have matching drool-worthy lean surfer's muscles.) Joey is wry and horny, and ends up giving his first blowjob to Dusty in a wet dream of an encounter between surfing dudes. This story has a slow build to a steamy end and is written so well that I was left wanting to read more about these two.
A lecherous older college professor reflects on his wolfish inner lust as Professor Blaine seduces his student Jeremy in the witty and dryly written "Fluid Mechanics" by Dale Chase, one of the more literary pieces of erotica. At the end of the semester, the professor offers Jeremy a place to stay in his house. They fuck ferociously and in lavish, hungry detail.
Andrew Warburton's "The Manor" features another side of the professor/student dynamic, this time told by the former student remembering a series of blowjobs given to a variety of his professors in delicious vignettes. The details are so precise and the techniques and occasions so varied that one can assume he's perfected his technique upon leaving the school. The writing is superb, another literary piece full of lush detail and salacious memories.
An afternoon with friends lazily fishing leads to one guy deliriously worshipping a surprisingly lenient hard-muscled straight and married neighbor sprawled out on a rock in "The Key-Maker's Wife." Ok, it's a stretch that this fits into the theme of "Boys in Heat" as the narrator is in his thirties, but he's definitely in heat, and the married man is open-minded enough to be, too.
"Burlington" by Philip MacKenzie, Jr., has an eager frenzy about it, as two wealthy young men find and take advantage of Justin, the young chain store worker in denial about his desires for guys. This story was on the edgy side as Rob, the more debauched of the two, alternates between fucking and petting the young man, and forcing humiliating blow jobs from him. Good for those who have a taste for power play and more than a little degradation.
"Boys in Heat" is sure to spark your interest as the boys and men explore all kinds of sex from sweet first-time blowjobs to ruthless fucking, and the stories range from short sex-only quickies to longer narratives. With such a variety, the anthology has a selection for every taste. Read and be sure to keep a bucket of water near in case of fire.
