Written with a poet’s sense of language and the quirky voice of an outsider among outsiders, Six Positions takes the reader on a frank and entertaining international road trip of clubs, saunas, and sex parties.

Subtly exploring the roots of fantasy, insecurity, stereotypes, and attraction, these stories combine hot sex and sly humor, flights of imagination and hot realities. Whether narrating the course of a romantic encounter gone bad, detailing the goings-on at an orgy, or smashing the stereotype of the Asian boy toy, Six Positions offers fresh, thoughtful, and creative considerations of gay sex and sexuality, while celebrating determined and unadulterated sexual desire.

”Six Positions leaves no doubt as to Andy Quan’s reputation as a master of literotica. And don’t let that cutesy word fool you. Each of Quan’s stories is equal parts literature and eros. A feat that he makes look easy. Further, Quan’s honesty and artistry in describing all aspects of his desires create an incredibly arousing intimacy between the reader and the tales themselves. Six Positions is a must-read for anyone who wishes to fully pleasure their largest sex organ.”
   Ian Philips, author of Satyriasis and See Dick Deconstruct

“Andy Quan’s matchless talents as a poet are in evidence in his luminous short fiction. His work is not to be missed by anyone wishing to experience writing that makes language serve a higher calling.”
   Michael Rowe, author of Looking for Brothers and Other Men’s Sons
