Jeffrey Allen Hayes considers which of his daily work interactions at a San Francisco sex club might actually constitute a sex act. Is it a verbal command that results in an orgasm?

Luna leaves her Americorp job with teammates Alejandro and Jordana to enjoy Spring Break at the National Rainbow Gathering. A late night encounter in the glow of the bonfire with a Professor Trelawney lookalike / Alien visiting from Pleiades launches a 56 hour sexual journey that features neopolitan threesomes, a Mad Hatter, fruitarians, some sexy Columbian campfire stank a myriad of sparkly drum circles and thousands of naked hippies cavorting through forests and streams in search of adventure.

Adam’s story was told live onstage at Bawdy Storytelling's 'CraigsLust' show at the Verdi Club in San Francisco, in March 2018.

Introvert Dara M Wilson and her mathlete friend Claudia travel to New Orleans, where Dara meets Claudia’s attractive friend, Scott.

Marco Salsiccia is a visual animator whose world is upended when he starts to go blind. He attempts to master the new tools given to him by the Lighthouse for the Blind, but decides to make it fun by using them to explore dating sites. One night, his text-to-speech reader steers him toward OKCupid, and to an incredible woman who teaches him to live in a brand new way. Rather than a life diminished by blindness, his world - and his understanding of what love is - expands beyond his wildest dreams.
