I received this as an ARC.This book takes place during the 2012 Olympics, but the world is not the world we live in today. In this story, there has been great advances in medicine to prevent the spread of sexually transmitted diseases which has led to a sexual revolution. The world has come to accept that it sex is a very natural bodily function and a necessity. Terms that we have in our culture to define those that have multiple partners and "sleep around" with anyone have been abandoned. There are public places where you can do whatever you want. It is not considered healthy to take advantage of your perfectly natural desires. This has led to a new kind of gymnastics, sexual gymnastics. Leah and Benson are considered the best in America. What makes them the best is their ability to excite their audience and even help them finish without ever being touched (if you know what I mean by that). They performed very strict and complex choreographed routines that involve gymnastics as well as things probably found in the kama sutra. I did have a little trouble envisioning the positions they were putting themselves into. Chalk that up to lack of experience I guess. It is done to music on a mat in front of a live audience and television crews. You may wonder if they actually perform to completion. They do. That is one of the required elements for the judging. Not something I would ever want to do that's for sure.I am not a prude, but I can honestly say that a world like this might freak me out some. I don't know that I would be comfortable being surrounded by the blatant acts, but for the story, it is very well written. It leaves a lot for you imagination to fill in, which sometimes I think is a necessity for an erotica. The book does its job. It is a very unique story line, that's for sure!Read more reviews at Identity Discovery Blog.
