Book of sexual stories between military personnel is a literary option for gays

On the third or fourth page your "friend" from below will start to show signs of life. Therefore, it is not recommended to read it in public places such as buses, subways or while waiting in line at the dentist. Unless the intention is really… uh, nevermind, okay?

This sign of, um, let's say "vitality", which only increases with each page, is perhaps the only "inconvenience" of Tirando a Farda, a collection of erotic short stories with accounts of sex between military personnel, released in Brazil in 1998 by Edições GLS , the gay arm of Grupo Editorial Summus.

Throughout 19 short stories spread over 168 pages, the reader enters head, body and soul into a world of exciting words, explicit and highly descriptive texts of sexual relations in barracks accommodation, in naval shipyards, in public bathrooms and so on. There is no need to be shy when reading Taking Off the Uniform. On the contrary, you need to free your imagination and let your fantasy flow. It's sex, it's literature and it's a book to make anyone crazy with lust.

In moments like this, when in Brazil the armed forces gain prominence for their authoritarian stance towards the couple of gay sergeants Fernando and Laci and for disastrous attitudes that resulted in the death of three young people in a favela in Rio de Janeiro, nothing better than to use literature and entertainment as an escape valve from this harsh reality.

In the first story of the book, entitled "The charm of the Air Force", author JR Mavrick gives tips on how he managed to seduce Dan, a new recruit, who arrives at his division and stars in a delicious sex scene, as well as other "would-be heterosexuals ".

"I had developed some skills in the arts of seduction during my time in the Air Force – I had already seduced several would-be heterosexuals and discovered in myself a supernatural ability to "alter" their sexual convictions. My MO (Operating Method) was quite simple. I just reversed the game and made them take the first step", he reveals.

Below he continues with his list of useful advice. "When you plan to seduce someone, you first need to check whether there is any possibility of success. When someone doesn't want to be seduced, they give obvious signs. (A right hook to the jaw is usually a good indication.) Remember: don't take any chances without need. Having a girlfriend or being married doesn't necessarily eliminate a person from your list of victims. To be honest, this can sometimes even make 'slaughter' easier."

The book also deals with fetishes. Mainly one who is part of a collective homosexual imagination of what it must be like to live with so many men in situations that may or may not be highly homoerotic. Check out an excerpt from the short story "Caught by Surprise", by Rick Jackson, which talks precisely about this issue.

"I had already measured their dicks a while ago, since we shared the same dorm, but I thought they were still amateur pussy eaters. Besides, they weren't the only sailors who caught my eye. I had checked every dick in the division. Since the start of the mission, five long months before, I had done nothing other than memorize every dick and use those images to pleasure myself with my palm at least a couple of times a night."

It is not difficult to find the book for sale on shopping websites and online bookstores. Buy one, or borrow one from someone who has one and enjoy reading!
