  While 
                    the editor of this fine annual collection, Marcy Sheiner, 
                    argues in her introduction that these stories dwell on "the 
                    darker side of sex"--revenge, anger, grief--there is 
                    a redemptive quality to passion that often outweighs whatever 
                    unworthy motives may have inspired the deed. Although there 
                    is plenty of frivolous, one-handed reading in this year's 
                    edition, many of the pieces included have the hallmarks of 
                    literary fiction; they are not merely about a sexual event, 
                    but offer a revelation of character through that event. Herotica 
                    6 by Marcy Sheiner (ed)
  The 
                    sixth anthology of erotic fiction edited by Sheiner continues 
                    the recent tradition of writing and evaluating pornography 
                    from a female perspectivewelcome reading to anyone who finds 
                    such an approach interesting or important. This time out, 
                    Sheiner has chosen to concentrate on partnerships, and in 
                    her introduction she explains that her concern was to provide 
                    an answer for the inevitable question: So how do women keep 
                    sex alive in committed relationships? All of the contributors 
                    are women, of course, but since a significant number are also 
                    lesbians, bisexuals, and sadomasochists, it should come as 
                    no surprise that many of the relationships portrayed herein 
                    are unusual. Best
