Masculine. Unapologetic. Carnal.
Moment of Pleasure is a collection of raw, hyper-real erotic short stories where men don’t fall in love—they fall into each other. Manuel García writes about real men: silent types, rough hands, cold glances. Desire here doesn’t simmer. It strikes. These stories are soaked in sweat, chlorine, poppers, and the weight of what’s left unsaid. The settings are real, the men even more so. This is not fantasy. This is what happens when men want men—with all the grit, hunger, and force that comes with it.
In the title story, a simple hookup becomes a charged ritual of power and release. The narrator arrives, sunglasses still on, to find his host—a tall, dark-haired guy in nothing but briefs and a yellow tank top. There's small talk in the kitchen, but neither man is here for words. Shirts come off. Eyes lock. A grin forms.
The hallway is narrow, the bedroom spare. A battered blue sheet, a drawer full of toys, and the unmistakable smell of anticipation. “Are we still talking about my chest hair,” he says, “or are you ready to be ruined?”
Lips part. Bottles open. A throat is taken, deep and fast. Then the flip, the spit, the stretch—desire pressed into muscle and sweat. No scripts. Just bodies obeying instinct. As the sheet slips off the mattress and the sound of skin on skin fills the room, there’s only one truth: in this moment, nothing else exists.
Some stories make you blush. These make you remember.
