[Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of "Exploring the Wilderness of You: Explicit Erotic For Women" by Jerry Metcalf.]
Warning: This book review is about explicit sexual material.
Exploring the Wilderness of You: Explicit Erotica for Women by Jerry Metcalf and Emily Rose is a short book of erotic stories specifically geared toward women. What drew me to this book was one of its writers, Jerry Metcalf. Jerry is a prison inmate and has spent almost 30 years behind bars. I found it fascinating that a prison inmate would write and publish a book of sexy fantasies. Exploring the Wilderness of You has a beautiful cover that invites you to crack it open.
This book is written in the second person, which pulls the reader into the story in an almost voyeuristic way. The first chapter opens with a restaurant scene where the narrator and his partner are out for their weekly date night. The story gets pretty steamy when the narrator slides his hand up his partner’s dress at the dinner table and does, ahem, things to her there. You can imagine the scene I described, but written in more explicit language. Each chapter of the book is a new date or scenario for the couple, including a hotel, a campground, and a cruise ship. It is extremely spicy, as you’d expect from erotica.
I found this book easy to read. While the book itself is labeled as fantasy, the scenarios presented by the authors were fairly realistic. Many people fantasize about joining the Mile High Club on an airplane, for example, so when the characters had loud sex in an airplane’s bathroom, it made sense. The applause they received after leaving the airplane bathroom felt less realistic, but that’s where the fantasy comes in. I applaud anyone willing to risk touching the germy surfaces of an airplane bathroom to have sex with a partner in there.
Exploring the Wilderness of You maintains a consistent premise and characters until the final chapter. The book's last chapter does not fit with the original premise, which feels confusing. The final chapter is a great stand-alone short story, but it doesn't match the rest of the book. If the authors ever publish the second edition of this book, they could perhaps explain the extra story in the foreword.
I rate this book 4 out of 5 stars. It is well-written erotica with just enough plot to be engaging for the reader. The scenarios described in the book felt original. It did have a good number of typos in the text, which was distracting. At one point, I found myself laughing as I looked in an online search engine to learn if the phrase “hard-on” was one or two words (it’s two hyphenated words). This was one of the more amusing typos I found.
I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading erotica. The authors did a great job writing this book.
