“If you've ever taken an erotica writing class with me, you've likely heard me quote from one of my favorite stories of the many hundreds I've published: "Chemistry" by Velvet Moore…”

— Rachel Kramer Bussel, Editor

“I’ve been editing erotica anthologies for the last 15 years, and in that time have chosen hundreds of stories for over 60 books. I treasure each of them in my own way, but some are extra special, ones I recommend to anyone, whether you’ve read erotica before or not. Here are five that have stood out for me that I reread regularly.

The premise of this anthology was that all the stories were about female orgasm. This one wowed me because it’s about a woman with a very specific fetish: in this case, chemistry. So often we read about men with fetishes that I relish any time I get to read about a woman unabashedly pursuing hers. Plus I almost failed chemistry in high school, so I’m especially fascinated, and Moore sets the scene perfectly, including all the senses and how a chemistry lab is where she gets most aroused and how one particular scientist presses all the right buttons for the protagonist.”
