Multi-faceted erotica by women for... women?

As a heterosexual but experimental woman, I hoped to find in "Erotica" sexual writing for a variety of tastes. However, what I actually found was an overwhelming tendency toward lesbian eroticism. Regardless, the writing was interesting, erotic, and broad-based, though the modern writers emphasized more homosexuality than heterosexuality. Overall, the book is a great introduction to feminine erotica, and empowering to those women who feel timid about their sexuality.
