WOW...OK THEN!!!

I loved this book. It was hot, it was hilarious, it was well written and it even gave me some ideas, LOL. This book is a compilation of different short stories written by different authors all about Gay SuperHeroes. I cant figure out which I liked best, the hottest was the one about the "gifted young man" who became a pornstar... I wont spoil it for you, but it is worth buying the book and reading it. Fantastic Book. Does anyone know who the HOTHOUSE Model is on the cover of the book? It looks like Trevor Knight, but Im not sure.

Treads the line between camp, sexy, and laugh out loud funny.

Maybe it's just me, but I've always found something inherently homoerotic about superheroes: the muscle worship, the spandex, the sidekicks! Unmasked looks at all of these in a creative, sexy, and often hilarious way. In Tights, the oft-pondered but unasked question of how Superheroes manage to chew the scenery without tearing their skintight costumes gets resolved. While Heroes in Waiting explores the life of second string superheroes turned sexual role-models. Jackel vs. Thresher shows the dynamic between a superhero and his foe, while Captain Chicken Hawk, The Bat and The Raven, and Hummingbird all highlight the lowly sidekick and his admiration for his partner. There's more super-sex than you can probably handle in one sitting, full of lengthy descriptions of musculature and oversized members, but there's an overall tone of self-mockery in the stories. They retain the casually ridiculous and tongue-in-cheek amusement of an actual comic book. Kosher Man and the Shegatz, for example, is the story of a Jewish he-man, whose only weakness is that no food that is not Kosher can pass through his lips. Or A Dirty Job, which follows formerly popular heroes and their plot to put the new star on the scene out of business so they can return to their former glory. As with most anthologies, not all of the stories stand out, but the winners definitely outnumber the ho-hum tales, so I can't recommend this highly enough.

The Way Sex Should Be

I had such a fun time reading these stories. I think there is great talent in those who can combine erotica and humor: most of these authors succeed with style. C'mon, you never had fantasies about men in spandex? Or wondered if the stories of Robin needing to wear two jocks were true? Give in to the fantasy - and you will be swooping over a much friendlier Metropolis!

Fun and sexy!

I really enjoyed this collection! There are so many talented writers of gay erotica and many of them have stories in this book. Of course, the erotic depictions are sexy and well, erotic. But what I wasn't expecting were all the incredibly creative and funny visions of superheroes that make up the stories in here. Two stories that jump immediately to mind are "Tights" by DesertMac and "Kosher Man and the Shegatz" by Milton Stern. They had me laughing out loud! A fun bedtime read that doesn't take sex too seriously, but seriously enough to be really good!

Who Knew Superheroes Could Be So Much Fun

I thoroughly enjoyed Unmasked: Erotic Tales of Gay Superheroes, another anthology from Eric Summers. Not only is this book hot and sexy, but also filled with humor. The fact that the various contributors used humor and funny situations made this book all the more titilating, tantalizing and erotic. Great job, Mr. Summers. Eric Summers seems to be able to corral the best erotic authors in the business for his anthologies.
