5.0 out of 5 stars Great book, May 28 2002
By Nija Mashruwala (Bay Area, CA, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
When I picked up this book, I was a bit skeptical about all the good things I'd heard about it. I thought that men couldn't know what a lesbian relationship is and visa versa. Thankfully I was wrong.
Although some of the charactors are stereotypical, many were quite memorable. 'Switch Hitters' is one of the highest quality erotic anthologies I own.
Other erotica that is also good are 'The Leatherdaddy and the Femme' (which you can find cheaper through Cleis Press's website than through here), 'Macho Sluts', 'Set in Stone', and the 'Hot + Bothered' anthology series.
Happy reading!

4.0 out of 5 stars Getting a rise out of Switch-Hitters, Aug 5 1999
By A Customer
Switch-Hitters is a much needed creative twist in the realm of queer erotica and it gives some insight into how lesbians and gay men view eachother's sexuality.

First and foremost, Switch-Hitters is hot. Queen and Schimel definitely took great care to put together an anothology of queer porn that rises above the typical porn anthologies that can be painful to read. These stories have both plots and steamy scenes that combine for excellent porn pleasure.

For both gay male and lesbian porn, Switch-Hitters is an opportunity to infuse each with a bit of the other. Your typicaly lesbian porn anthology includes an unbelievable number of "we met in women's studies class" scenerios that end with removing eachother's flannel shirts. Gay male porn has an advantage of being far more widespread, but often uses the same types of scenerios over and over. Switch-Hitter's erotica breaks out of these molds as the writers try to envision what the opposite sex really finds hot (and presumably what the authors find hot about the opposite sex.)

Of course, nothing is perfect. Switch-Hitters also provides a little insight into sexual stereotypes that lesbians and gay men have about eachother. In a few of the stories the characters remain pretty flat, which certainly detracts from their ability to turn readers on. Despite some of its flaws, this book belongs with some of porn's best.

2.0 out of 5 stars Sorry - needs reworking, Feb 27 1998
By A Customer
It seems that lesbians writing as gay men do a better job of it than gay men as lesbians.Likely that lack of experience with female sexuality among the men limits their knowledge, so that they imagine that the female orgasm is as easy-to-provoke as their own. (Certainly honest accounts of women's experiences have been historically harder to come by, no pun intended, than masculine accounts and descriptions.) There were too few memorable personalities in this book. I could always "tell" that a man was writing the lesbian point of view. 'Erotica' shouldn't double as a parlor game - of which gender wrote what.
