Foreword
The
language used to describe orgasms is often powerful, wild, and
evocative. It pulls on the imagery of storms. Words like "deluge"
and "flood" are used to describe the physical release of
the sexual act. Stormy eyes lead to wet panties and then to
thunderous orgasms.
Sex
and storms are closely connected in the minds of many.
However,
the reality is that some storms are not sexy. Some storms destroy
livelihoods, lands, and lives. Some storms happen on such a massive,
unexpected scale that they cause total chaos.
Hurricane
Katrina was one of the extreme examples of this kind of natural
disaster. This powerful storm smashed into a 90,000 kilometer area
off the Gulf coast of America in the fall of 2004. It all but
destroyed several towns and villages as well as the well known jazz
capitol, New Orleans. The damage was catastrophic, and it will take
years to rebuild all that has been damaged.
Hundreds
of thousands of Americans became refugees, seeking the very basics of
sustenance: food, water, clothing, and shelter. They battled just to
live—just to survive—and all they really wanted was to go
home. Unfortunately, for many it was an impossible dream.
When
the denizens of the Author's Hangout at Literotica.com® heard
about this, they naturally wondered, as we all did, how they could
help. They pooled their expertise, their skills, talents and
inspiration, and created this special edition of
Coming Together
.
All the proceeds from the sale of this volume will go to the American
Red Cross to help provide aid to those who most desperately need it.
So
you can do something to help. You have already done something to help
just by purchasing this collection of rainy day erotic stories and
storm-inspired poetry. We all can do something. We all have talents
that we can use to help, and we can make a difference simply by doing
what we can: by not thinking individually, but collectively—by
coming together

Preface
Coming
Together
was conceived online in the Literotica.com
®
Author's Hangout. It is the result of many hours of collaboration
between some very talented authors, poets, and illustrators who have
(ahem) "come together" to produce a scintillating erotic
cocktail.
In
each volume of this serial, the reader may partake of a variety of
intoxicating spirits: group sex, romance, both hetero- and homosexual
romps, humor, incest, bondage, anal sex, dominance/submission,
fantasy, and fetish. While each individual ingredient may not suit
the tastes of every reader, the savory combination of flavors is sure
to stir every imagination.
Proceeds
from the sale of this special edition of
Coming Together
will
be donated to the American Red Cross for Hurricane Katrina relief and
recovery efforts.
So,
join us in a toast: to sex!
Bottoms
up,

Introduction
Death
and sex. Disaster and sex. It seems that personal tragedy requires
affirmation of life. When faced with the apparently random acts and
displays of unparalleled puissance and anonymous destruction, what
bigger affirmation do we poor people know that has the same intimacy,
the same energy, the same shout-it-from-the-rooftops-we-are-here, as
the act of physical love?
We
pour our love, our hot volatile need, our gentle but urgent
persuasions towards, around, and into our partner of the moment:
wishing, hoping and anticipating our reward. That small, endless,
titanic, momentary reward which leaves us less and increases us
greatly. Knowing our variously voracious or inconsequently insipid
appetites can never be filled we nevertheless contrive to partake of
it again.
In
that act, that race towards orgasm, that outpouring of lust, we defy
nature, scream at the stars, and challenge the cosmos to do its
damnedest.
And
so, be it by acts of sexual abandon, gentle love, or basic urges, we
declaim to an uncaring universe: We are alive. We thrive. We will
continue.
