Jesus Loves Me, or The Book that is going to send me to Hell

Like I mentioned, I was feeling less-than-perfect yesterday so I spent a lot of the day reading in bed. And damn it! I am done with school; I can read anything I please, including reading material that might be less than educational or lacking in redeeming social value.

Yeah, I'm talking about erotica, but not just your garden variety porn. I had this new book I won on eBay called Vampire's Vow: A homoerotic gothic tale of a love that burned darkly thru the ages. Now, anybody that has read Miss Anne Rice knows just how sexy vampires can be. It's all that sucking, I think. I settle back on the pillows and dig in.

The story begins in the Holy Lands at the time of Caesar Augustus. Our protagonist, who is the teller of the tale, is a Roman Officer named Victor who is crazy in lust with a beautiful young Jewish carpenter named Joshua.

Joshua isn't like the other boys. There's something about him that makes him special. He's passionate and kind and works the occasional miracle. He won't let Victor get under his robes either, because 'it's against my father's will'. Joshua is meant for better things than just a quick roll on a blanket with a Roman Soldier. Of course, this just makes him want Joshua all the more.

Not that Victor doesn't try and there are long, detailed paragraphs about skinny dipping in the Jordan River with Joshua. The readers get graphic descriptions of the way the water looks drying on his browned, muscular body, including his beautiful circumcised cock, which was a bit of a novelty in ancient Rome, unless you were a nice Jewish boy.

Here's a surprise, I start squirming and feeling a little uncomfortable. Our author has written a dirty book about Jesus' long brown dick. My reaction surprises me. I grew up in a Christian family and I went to Sunday School. I'll celebrate Jesus' birthday but I don't consider him my personal savior. I certainly respect Jesus as a wise teacher and a good man. But it's the same kind of respect I have for other teachers, and that includes everybody from Buddha to Ghandi, John Lennon to BF Skinner. All men, all who came with standard male equipment.

So, why am I looking over my shoulder and feeling like maybe our author has just gone too far.... not that I am not reading ahead to see if Joshua extends his..uhhhh... very special blessing to Victor. Joshua doesn't, which makes Victor cranky and he goes on a raping/pillaging adventure. Eventually Victor ends up in the bed of a Nubian enchantress who turns him into a vampire, although a vampire that can still enjoy hot, sweaty M4M sex..this is erotica, remember.

Fucking AND sucking!

Back to our story, Being undead doesn't stop Victor from sniffing after Joshua, he still wants him. BTW, Joshua smells like Hebrew wine, spices, the sweat of a hard day's work, the desert and the sea. Victor offers Joshua eternal life. Joshua knows he's already got that in the bag and rejects the offer. Victor gets EVEN more cranky and there's a few more chapters of Vampiric mayhem and murder.

Even dying on the cross, Joshua rejects the Vampire's dark gift and Victor spends the next 2000 years pissed off, raping, pillaging etc, mostly in monasteries having hot and nasty monk4monk sex.

Anyway, I read the book straight thru, and gain a new understanding of the term 'guilty pleasure'. Lakota Ray and Taoist Mikey don't understand or appreciate that I am going to go to hell for enjoying this book.

They never went to Sunday school
