“The Cure” not really kinky at all. Felt heavy-handed in its message. 1 star.
“Best Friendster Date Ever” was meh. The sexual aspects were semi-kinky and therefore only semi-interesting. The characters were not interesting. 1.5 stars.
“Trust” was a realistic depiction of vulnerability in relationships. of wanting to be seen but afraid of showing anything. of watching yourself being watched. 2 stars.
“Safeword” I loved the awkwardness of this. The husbands worry. The love and sacrifice that’s so intertwined with marriage. How that connects to pleasing your partner in the bedroom. Overall, the ending was semi-unsatisfactory but I still enjoyed the story. Four stars.
“Canada” Beautiful and intriguing but also too short and vague to truly enjoy. 3 stars.
“Oh, Youth” my heart. Potent human emotion. Exemplifies the love and power that sex can lead to. So good. 5 stars.
“Impact Play” A bit strange. Definitely taboo. Interesting characters. 4 stars.
“Mirror, Mirror” Beautiful and visceral. 3.5 stars.
“Reach” This lacked substance though the writing was intense. It lacked the emotional tension that I think it was intended to have. It felt just average to me. 2.5 stars.
“Gospodar” Tw: Rape. Raw and terrifying and interesting. This is scary. 4 stars.
“Scissors” Strange but good. 3 stars.
“The Lost Performance of the High Priestess of the Temple of Horror” disappointing despite how beautifully written this is. It missed its mark with Maxa. Her characterization felt hollow compared to the intended poignancy of the story. Not kinky. 4 stars.
“The Voyeurs” 2.5 stars.
“Retouch/Switch” 1.5 stars.
“Emotional Technologies” Pretentious and uninteresting. 0 stars.
