Alina Reyes also examines the social pressures, which lead to the premature deaths of celebrities like Marilyn Monroe, and which contribute to widespread attitudes of machismo and/or shame. A serious examination of the nature of desire and how it fits in with the strictures of society.

Grove Pr

Written in two halves, the adventures and perspectives of a woman, as well as those of a man, come to life in a book that allows readers to choose which gender to follow and the direction of the plot from a choice of "doors" that travel through a maze of erotic adventures offering every imaginable fantasy and desire.

Behind Closed Doors

A young Frenchwoman goes to work in a butcher's shop during her college vacation. Every day the butcher whispers obscenities in her ear, describing their imagined lovemaking. And as the summer heat takes hold, so does her lust.

GROVE PRESS

Behind Closed Doors is a novel in two halves, one presenting the adventures and perspectives of a woman, the other those of a man. The reader decides which gender role to play and which paths of the plot to pursue by choosing from a group of "doors." Following the author's suggestions, the reader designs the architecture of this erotic hall of mirrors and is hypnotically drawn into a carnival of decadent delights.

Romance

Babe and Bobby Wesson have been married for years and their sex life has become a bit dull. Babe is sensuously beautiful, but ashamed of her desires and over the years has become a Valley of the Dolls-type neurotic who refuses her husband sex. One night, she is awakened in the middle of the night by strange noises. Creeping downstairs, she peeks through the outdoor window into her husband's basement garage (where he keeps an extremely valuable vintage Cadillac he believes was once owned by Elvis). Expecting to find Bobby tinkering with his machines, she is shocked to instead find him with a strange woman, who passively gives him a blow job and then lies nearly lifeless as he penetrates her. Shocked, betrayed, and highly aroused, Babe creeps back upstairs and pretends to be asleep when Bobby returns to bed.The next day Bobby is a bit exhausted but glowing with satisfaction about his new "mistress," Carmen, a blowup doll. Loath to cheat on his possibly-frigid wife, he believes he's found the perfect solution. Imagine Bobby's surprise when he returns home to find Babe, naked and sated in the arms of none other than Carmen! Bobby's secret becomes Babe's compulsion as she finds her sexuality suddenly wide awake; like Lottie (Cameron Diaz) in Being John Malkovich, she discovers her true sexual calling in one scene in using her husband as a sort of human sexual surrogate to make love to the doll she has fallen for. In another scene Babe goes to the mall to buy Carmen sexy underthings and to find a man to service her. Meanwhile nosy neighbor Shirley Gordon keeps pestering Babe, who has been staying home from work to be with Carmen.When Shirley Gordon's son comes knocking to return a borrowed axe, with which he has accidentally cut himself, she and Carmen together seduce the young boy. Babe and Bobby decide they have to dispose of Carmen, and drive her away to dump her by the roadside. They are pursued by Shirley Gordon, spin off the road and crash into a tree and both are killed. The novel closes with the final sexual fantasies of Bobby and Babe as their bodies slide into the incinerator at the crematorium, while Shirley Gordon drives away with her son and her prize from the accident-Carmen, who, like Stephen King's Christine, has no intention of going away.
