Queer erotic literature actually written by queer men?
-
Back in the day I used to like the nifty.org male/male erotica stories.
I'd like to read more of that, but in longer form and ebook/pdf so it can be on a book reader and not the web.
The only thing is, every time I search for male/male "romance" it tends to be written by straight women and it lacks a certain je ne sais qua of authenticity and desire. (I'm sure some women can write good male/male erotica, but so far everything I've tried has been a bit....meh).
So is there such a thing as good quality male/male erotica/romance?

@galwaybiguy I realize this post has aged quite a while, but thought I'd mention an old favorite of mine - Take Out: Queer Writing from Asian Pacific America, an anthology of prose and poetry, edited by Quang Bao and Hanya Yanagihara (Yes, that Hanya Yanagihara, if you followed her quickshot into the limelight with the publication of A Little Life in the mid-2010's).
While it's not right on the nose, so to speak, there is much sexuality, absolutely physical, as well as the exploration of the self, identity, and the challenging intersectionalities that often come along with queer and racial identities. I will say, it's been years since I've taken a look at it, and I first read it when I was in my mid-teenage years (published circa ~2002), so it's possible my ribald, boner-filled days of adolescence has me misremembering just how much sexy time fills the pages, but nonetheless, it is definiely erotic, many of the pieces written by gay men, and is most definitely good quality writing.
