Best Gay Asian Erotica brings together stories of lust and adventure—each with a queer Asian man as the focus of desire.

In Virgil Vang's "Mimesis," a newly deaf man discovers ritualistic sexual theater under the tutelage of a charismatic teacher. S.S. Bider's "The Chair" describes a Malay tribe whose beautiful boys have a second, hidden tongue awaiting the explorer.

Zamora Linmark, Andy Quan, Allan deSouza, Sandip Roy, and more.
