Center of the Universe: Volume 33, Chapters 128-130

When Douglas begins an affair with his dazzling yet prim colleague, Nguyet, neither of them suspects how turbulent their liaison will become. Over the years, not only their intimacy and audacity grow, but also their susceptibility to temptation. On their journey of unbridled lust, they also meet others, who are equally liable to sin, so that eventually even an orgy circle forms in their sleepy little town in Central Vietnam.After Charlie soiled his mother's best friend's wrist, during a massage, Yen asked Nguyet and Douglas to lend the inexperienced, charming lad a hand. In the first episode here, the Center of the Universe, takes care of him herself, whereupon Charlie, in the second story, is allowed to once again enter the arms of the petite, lovely lady who had recently deflowered him, Thuy.In the third novella, Douglas's young, bisexual colleague from the Philippines, Mira, embarks on a daring experiment with four well-meaning scoundrels, after finally fulfilling Douglas' long-cherished wet, savory wish as a warm-up.As varied as the episodes are, they all have one theme in common: Ultimately, they tell a captivating tale of liberation from rigid, confining moral norms. All chapters are meant to entertain, amuse, and – in the best case – stimulate in taboo-free ways, without slipping into crudity.All light-hearted stories are told in a very revealing, tongue-in-cheek manner and, in passing, offer insights into Vietnamese culture. Without taboos, all episodes explore the sources and dynamics of erotic desire and lure the reader under the spell of an exotic world.The author of this extensive series of erotic stories has been enjoying Southeast Asia for ten years now. After living in Germany and the U.S. for most of his life, Douglas ventured in the opposite direction in 2010: first, he taught at a community college in the South Seas for three years, before settling in Vietnam. Naturally, all novellas reflect his undying love for young Southeast Asian women.
