Sextopia: Stories of Sex and Society

Twelve science fiction writers create situations ""where erotic needs and society's rules conflict or interact"" in Sextopia: Stories of Sex and Society, edited by Cecilia Tan (Black Feathers). In Eric Del Carlo's imagined future, ""carnality has been bred out,"" but the occasional riot born of suppressed needs is quelled by sex soldiers; Suzy McKee Charnas's heroine sculpts a wooden man from a tree, and is gratified when he saves her life and bestows another favor or two.
