Back cover:

"From Neil Gaiman's examination of predator/prey relationships to Samuel R. Delany's classic depiction of how the altered fit among us ... from Sherry Coldsmith's cold-eyed view of prostitution to the dream visions of Joyce Carol Oates, John Kaiine, Lisa Tuttle, Kathe Koja and Barry N. Malzberg ... this anthology offers a score of erotic possibilities that - right or wrong - will make you think and feel things you've never felt before ..."

Not all of the short stories in this collection are truly sci-fi. But they all deal with alien sex, in one way or another. I found some of the pieces boring, some heavy-handed, others intriguing, and most rather sad and disturbing - in a futuristic dystopia sort of way. My favorite pieces are probably "The Future of Birds," "Sextraterrestrials" and "In the Month of Athyr."
