 "Read: Sexboy by Taslima Nasrin, from The Pleasure Principle, a collection of erotic fiction")
The brain is the most erotic part of the body. Orgasms begin in the mind…
Thus begins the jacket note for The Pleasure Principle: The Amaryllis Book of Erotic Stories, edited by G Sampath.
Bringing together works by writers like Meena Kandasamy, Mitali Sharan, Tabish Khair, Vikram Kapoor, among others, the stories cover a series of erotic interludes — what happens when online lust goes offline, the perverse desire of a middle-aged school teacher, the amorous misadventures of a small-town youth.
