the aboulia press

The fourteen short stories are very varied other than each including at least one unusual sexual  preference. These range from ablutophilia (bathing) to zonaphilia (girdles) by way of balloons, dolls, food play, painted toenails, shoulders and yachts.  

They are written as literary fiction rather than pornography and have characters who deal with crises or at least major decisions at different stages of life including old age and dying. The geographic spread of the stories is wide and the period covered stretches from WWII to the present day.

While some stories feature explicit sexual scenes, others are coyer. Surprises abound.

The collection includes the prize-winning Folie à Deux, about a man who is addicted to affairs with married women and obsessed with intimate presents from their husbands.
