This intimate collection of short stories explore the myriad of roles and dynamics that create our relationships--messy and needy, loving and hating, wanting to conquer and be conquered. These stories describe planned and accidental encounters, attempts to find reality and attempts to create roles. What is real? What is not? Does it matter when we’re clawing at each other in the bedroom?

The stories are not about sex, they are about desire. They are about communication. They are about ourselves, and what we reveal hidden in our lust. Are we ever more real than when we are naked?

Told from multiple points of view and detailing with multiple scenarios, Schweitzer tells gripping tales of a woman and her boss (who is really in control?), of a woman and a surprise gift (do clothes really make the woman?), of a man and a woman who inject desire into their relationship by not having sex, of a man who pays for the pleasure of doing your dishes in nothing at all…and many more.
