From Bernie Goutley's review: 1.) Her Furry Face by Leigh Kennedy A primate handler who is in a waning marriage falls for one of his super-intelligent orangutan students. 2.) War Bride by Rick Wilbur The world is going to end tomorrow unless you’ve been taken as a pet by one of the aliens. 3.) How’s the Night Life on Cissalda by Harlan Ellison A man sent to investigate an alien race becomes inextricably sexually entangled with one of the aliens. Eventually, he’s forcibly separated from the alien—of a race that are apparently thin-skinned—and lives to see the descent of mankind. 4.) The Jamesburg Incubus by Scott Baker A teacher in a Catholic school finds that he can make out-of-body nocturnal visits to some of his more attractive female students. 5.) Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex by Larry Niven This reads more like an essay than a short story. The work delves into the physics of why sex with Superman would be fatal for Lois Lane. 6.) The First Time by K.W. Jeter This is a variation on the old coming of age story in which a young man is taken to a brothel for his first sexual encounter. It’s just that this encounter is of the 3rd kind. 7.) The Jungle Rot Kid on the Nod by Philip Jo
