“The year is 2014 and dinosaurs have gained control of the world economy due to exceptionally accurate stock predictions. After graduating from NYU with a business degree, John is hired to be the assistant for one of the largest trading firms on Wall Street. His boss, the CEO of the company is highly regarded as the best businessman of the century. Only difference is that he is a dinosaur.”
So goes the Amazon.com synopsis of A Billionaire Dinosaur Forced Me Gay, one of prolific erotic novelist Hunter Fox’s massive collection.
Romance novels are cheesy by definition. That’s their job — to present a fantasy version of idealized eroticism. It’s escapism pure and simple.
So we’re still trying to wrap our heads around this new subset of erotic fiction that features dinosaurs, robots and sea monsters having their way with hunky men.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Is it supposed to be funny? Is anyone actually turned on by it? Not having taken the time to actually read one, perhaps one of you will feel inspired to do some further investigation.
The titles are a bit tempting, to be frank. Here’s your potential new reading list:

There were a couple interviews focused on someone writing the straight woman side of this matter (see http://nymag.com/thecut/2013/10/qa-the-women-who-write-dinosaur-erotica.html for an example) that might be illustrative here.

Of course I knew about it. Lots of cultural blogs were posting about this shit literally over a year ago.
Keep up with everyone else, Queerty.

Ok I just looked at the amazon.com page for the Sphinx one.Here is it’s summary
“Annoyed and overwhelmed by his powerful and dangerous older brother who is in line to be pharaoh, Etris decides to take matters into his own hands. Sneaking into the great pyramid during the midnight hour, Etris falls into an unexpected trap and meets the Sphinx that has caught him. This Sphinx won’t release him from the pyramid until he get’s one thing… his manhood.”
Now if this novel is set in ancient Egypt, how come the cover model looks northern European?

‘Forced Gay by Aliens’ — HAHAHAHAHA! New of the World would love this one.

Correction: ALL the dinosaur erotica, gay or straight, is bizarre. Same about anything where you are seduced/molested by an animal, a mascot, a mythical creature, etc.
Also, “yeti” is spelled with only one T. I don’t know if that was your error or the author’s.
@Ogre Magi: THAT is your question? Not “who the hell wants to have sex with a chimeric limestone monster?”
Cobalt Blue
@Ogre Magi: Racism.

When you get fucked by the Sphinx, he always stays hard.

All these book titles sound like the kind off things right-wing nut jobs are always saying will happen if we allow gay marriage………particularly “Tentacle Made Me Gay”

Ok my issue isn’t that they exist but that they cost nearly $3 for 13 pages!

If it’s a Dinosaur how did it “Make them gay”? Sounds more like bestiality themed rape books.

If you’re lucky your school mascot was a pirate – no bestiality there, and traditionally gay besides, if you look into the history. Rape, well maybe!

Damn Internet, you scary.

And some people wonder why it’s so difficult to find good books for the gay book discussion group I co-facilitate.
