The Studs Across The Hall

Rating: 3 out of 5.

This is a gay erotic short story narrated by Tom, the main protagonist, in a first-person style. Tom narrates the story of when three young men moved into the apartment across from his. The three muscular and nicely built men are Andy, Brad, and Charlie.

Charlie pays Tom an unexpected visit and unexpected (or perhaps expected) things happen between them. The two men hit it off very well and enjoyed each other’s company. The sex scene was nice and well-built, but I thought we’d get more from this kind of setup. I expected, with the presence of other men, that there would be a group action or something like that. I mean, even the title says “the studs”. I feel that was a missed opportunity.

The story has a few themes, like older and younger, first-time gay experience, and fun with a new neighbor. The cover of the book is quite hot, though. At least we have to give it that.

Themes:

  • Gay Erotica
  • Neighbors
  • Age Gap
  • First-Time Gay Experience
