I was on an innocent enough little weekend camping trip with my boyfriend Mark. Or, well, maybe not so innocent, because halfway through the first night the two of us are boning inside our tent, and I'm having my lights pounded out.

When I first arrived at my mother's reception, I never imagined that I would meet the most attractive man I had ever seen - dark hair, piercing eyes, and a lazy, confident smile.... There was no way I could resist him. I certainly never imagined that I would be having mind blowing sex with him in the art gallery upstairs. I never, ever imagined that my mother would make an announcement on that very same night that she had gotten married to his father. Of course, I was devastated. I could certainly never be sexually involved with my stepbrother....

Lately, I just can't seem to sit still. I squirm constantly in my seat as I wait at the doctor's office, unable to clear my head and feeling constantly as though I'm under scrutiny from those around me. For instance, there is this woman sitting across from me with her girlfriend, staring at me, and instantly my mind begins to reel, fantasizing about the three of us making love, even despite the fact that I've always considered myself as straight as a damn arrow.

I'm about to attend the sexiest family reunion I've ever been to.... Willie and I...have a bit of a history together.... Living under the same roof as teenagers, in such close proximity, it seems - in hindsight - that it was inevitable for what happened between the two of us to have taken place.... Now, after all this time, I'm about to see him again. The two of us are planning to meet once more at a family reunion. Will he even be there? This suspense is unbearable....

My friend, Venus, might just be the most beautiful girl in the world. The two of us have known one another since middle school, and for the longest time I've had an intense crush on her. But here's the thing - she doesn't even know I'm a lesbian. Now the two of us are in college together, sharing a dorm room. Both of us compete on our school's swim team, and I'm tormented by the sight of her perfect body moving so gracefully through the water.

I'm lying in bed one night, staring up at the ceiling, unable to sleep from anxiety. In a few hours, I'll be starting my new job at a successful company, and I'm concerned that my first day there could either make or break me. Soon, however, I find myself drifting off to sleep, and when I do, I have quite the Freudian nightmare. For whatever reason, I have the strangest dream of becoming intimate with my new boss, Mr. Jones, right in the middle of my new office, and I wake up screaming and soaked with sweat. And other fluids....

This mindset of having to be a good little girl has made things difficult for me in the sexually charged atmosphere of the university campus, my v-card proving an impossible thing for me to get rid of due to my deeply enforced prudish nature. Things are about to change, however, when I follow up on an advertisement posted on a local bulletin board, thinking that I'm about to sign up for a medical study...when in actuality I find myself in the clutches of a green-skinned alien life form, whose probing of me will prove to be quite the intimate affair....

When I went to work that day, I was not surprised when I was sent on a coffee run. I was absolutely shocked, however, to meet an incredible looking man at the coffee shop. I felt an instant connection to him, and I was overjoyed when I discovered that he was headed in my direction. I was even more surprised to discover that this man's father was married to my mother. I was crushed. I was certain that this connection could last forever, but now my hopes were shattered.

Reading can give you a pretty dirty imagination if you're not careful.... Lindsay's always been something of a shy girl. She's 18 and a virgin, and not at all ready for her induction into the hyper-sexual world of college life. For whatever reason, she's always found the idea of sex with men intimidating. And although she finds women attractive, and is a lot more at ease in the presence of a female, she's never really come to consider herself a lesbian, either. Her introduction to her own sexuality, then, comes when she happens to discover a book series of erotic literature and finds herself fascinated by it.

Get ready for the thrill of a lifetime!

Charles and I had shared many a sordid moment growing up, developing quite an uncomfortable and utterly sexual dynamic, culminating in an intense seaside romp when I was 18, and the two of us, almost immediately, seeing the error of our ways, deeply regretted our decision. It's been nearly seven years since that fateful day. We've both done our best to put the incident out of our minds, the two of us staying far apart from one another, but to no avail.

Gabrielle has spent her entire life as a secret, closeted lesbian, and in her early 30s she feels she's missed her opportunity to explore her hidden fantasies. She works as a maker of dresses, largely as a means of showing her admiration for the female form, and begins to think that her job is as much a meaningless aspect of her life as any. There is one bright spot in her routine, however, and that comes in the form of her brightest and most chipper regular customer, 22-year-old blonde bombshell Elizabeth.
