Sticky

More about the book

Sticky is a groundbreaking collection of character-driven, sex-positive tales of man-on-man intimacy, celebrating its 10th anniversary. TimeOut Chicago highlights the blend of "carnality and sweetness" that makes this work stand out in the genre. Readers will discover material that is both erotically charged and unabashedly romantic. Pop Matters emphasizes that by steering clear of familiar narratives about shame and acceptance, it delivers a powerful message: this is normal. The collection includes several erotic comic stories that showcase how gay men connect beyond mere hookups. In “Hold On,” a casual encounter at a street fair transforms into a playful challenge to delay orgasm. “Talk Show Queers” follows a handsome gay rodeo star after a public breakup, leading to a steamy connection with a burly security guard. Meanwhile, “Treats” features a butch pirate and a muscle-bound monk meeting at a Halloween party, where both trick and treat are on the menu. Unzipped praises the comic action for being not only hot but also friendly and versatile, capturing the essence of connection and desire in a refreshing way.
