There is some really great spanking erotica out there, and, in my opinion, these are the top three.
I liked their first book, and their third book muchly, however, for me, the second book is the winner. It has erotic spanking, bdsm spanking, punishment spanking, discipline spanking, kinky spanking, corporal punishment, ... hairbrush, paddle, strap, switch, and more.
Fact is often more sexy than fiction. I liked this collection for several reasons. One is because these are real life spankings. Another is the wide variety of stories. "Spanking" in the title refers to all kinds, not just the classic "over the knee."

The stories include spankings (and canings and birchings, and hairbrushings, etc.) with every kind of instrument, as well as the hand. Another reason I give the book high marks is that there are also many themes and sub-themes: sexuality and eroticism, punishment, buttock and anal eroticism, dominance and submission, humiliation, age play, judicial punishment, domestic discipline, medical play, etc.
I also like that most of the letters describe emotions and thoughts before, during and after the punishment, not just physical stuff.

It's incredibly sexy to get inside the head of the people in the accounts, especially inside the spankee.
In addition to being an author herself, Rachel Kramer Bussel has been making a living editing a number of anthologies of erotic stories in the last few years. With subjects ranging from dominance and submission, to voyeurism, to even the delights (to those who are enthusiasts) of PVC.
In Bottoms Up, Bussel returns for the fourth time to spanking.
This anthology is one of the stronger anthologies in that genre, as well as being one of the stronger anthologies Bussel has edited. She has a good hand as an editor, and by now knows how to balance authors, themes, and story lengths.
I especially appreciated the diversity of authors in this anthology. The writing of erotic stories for publications in these anthologies is something that women seem to have colonized as their own. Openly male authors (I have no doubts that some men write under female pen names) are uncommon, but this anthology sports a significant minority of male writers.
So while you will find stories by stalwarts such as Alison Tyler and Sommer Marsden (two of the best stories in the anthology, in this reviewers opinion), you will also find stories here by Simon Sheppard, Craig J Sorensen and other male writers as well.
The subthemes in spanked run the gamut. We get stories from both sides of the hand or paddle, and stories range from the mostly cerebral to the delightfully and painfully *sharp*. The stories never felt repetitious.
About the only thing I can say about the book is that at 20 stories and 172 pages, its just a tiny bit short, for the price you pay.
If you are a fan of erotic stories, and the theme of spanking is at all interesting to you, I think you will enjoy Bottoms up.
You'll want to crawl under the covers with your favorite, eh-hem, accessory, after reading the salacious tales in Rachel Kramer Bussel's anthology "Naughty Spanking".
From Jonathan Ames's hysterical encounter with a matronly professional spanker who offers "reduced rates" due to the recession (as well as some "extras" if you inquire nicely) to the naughty housewife, Amanda, who purchases too much lingerie and waits eagerly for her cop husband to discipline in Kate Dominic's "Cops" to Michelle Zipp's sexy spanking pony show and naturally, the editor's saucy encounter with a couple that is certainly willing, ready and wanting....for her wooden paddle, all the stories in this rock-star anthology of erotic spanking stories will encourage you to get out that wooden paddle, spoon or that old fashioned hand and give the naughty pleasure a fine shot.
In Violet Blue's sharp introduction, she notes: "not everyone can give a good erotic spanking..spanking is so much more than, 'strike ass, repeat.' There's so much more to it - so much to love!" and these essays are just that - witty, engaging and sexually titillating!
I read plenty of erotica, but this collection really takes the cake. I wound up speeding through one hot story after another, blown away by all the breathtaking, blistering scenes.
My favorites were "Yenta of Spanking" by Darklady and "Cops" by Kate Dominic, though there were plenty of others that I started reading and then had to stop to, um, take care of business. Some of the scenarios in this book are ones that will stay in my mind for a long time, and that I will reread late at night when I need that certain something to get me going.
