The subject of priests or ministers as sex partners with other men is one of the more taboo subjects in the writing of erotica. Habu has tackled this theme in gay male writing before, though, so naturally, as a publisher, we urged him to gather some of the stories in a subject-specific anthology, which has resulted in Priest Play. We gleaned nearly a dozen previously published stories that included priests at sex play from habu's various anthologies, and, in addition to these, he wrote five new, never-before-published stories to make up a fifteen-story anthology in which the clergy is given dispensation to indulge itself in man sex.

The anthology is split in two sections-stories with historical settings and contemporary stories. Included are works in which a priest is only included among the men engaged in sex, like "24 Exeter Place" and the "Debatables"-and do so without the slightest remorse-and stories that focus on the perplexity of being a priest and still desiring and needing sex with other men, such as the concluding stories "Senegal Surrender," "Fitting In," and "Banishment."

As with all of his anthologies, with Priest Play, habu takes an unusual theme and provides stories for his audience that are varied in setting, inventive in plot, human in characterization, and hot in male-on-male sex. If you are looking for a fix for your fetish to have a priest in your bed, this is the anthology for you.
