Publisher Description
Following their success online, the stories of Benjamin Ashton are now published in a single collection for the first time. Raw and moving, graphic and biting, they chronicle both random and intense encounters, they sketch portrayals of modern gay men - conflicted, vibrant, resolute, or hedonistic. With unflinching, explicit and introspective honesty, "Drawing by Numbers" toys with the codes of gay erotica to explore questions of intimacy and bonding, levity and expectations, friendship and sex, and the seductive allure of storytelling.

Great
I found it was surprisingly good - worth the read.
Drawing by Numbers
I liked this book. The short stories were related, and there was some character development of some of the players. The sexual encounters were well written, and mostly believable.
There is one very important mistake in the story about the male sex worker, however. The person reports that he uses Viagra to get an erection with his gay clients, and later in the story uses poppers with one of them. This can be a fatal combination causing DEATH. It will drop your blood pressure to zero, and possibly kill you. Do not mix these two drugs ever.

Just finished reading and was a very erotic story! Had to put it down several times to keep my self in control
