Seven Seriously Sexy Moments in Playboy Fiction

As famous as PLAYBOY is for its nudity, it’s also known the world over for its first-rate fiction. From Gabriel García Márquez and his infamous tale of a handsome corpse, to Ursula K. Le Guin and her romantic rendering of clones and extraterrestrial mining, to Jack Kerouac and the first reveal of his On the Road prequel—not to mention multiple stories by Vladimir Nabokov and Ray Bradbury—some of the greatest authors in modern history have graced our pages.

Not surprisingly, a lot of the fiction we’ve featured is seriously sexy. The most provocative pieces include passages so titillating they’re best enjoyed in private—making them a perfect source of stay-at-home stimulation.

Here, we share a selection of the sexiest (NSFW) moments in PLAYBOY fiction—seven excerpts that explicitly portray intimacy while arousing curiosity. Start here for a tantalizing time; at the end, we’ll tell you how you can read each piece in full.

These stories are available in their entirety, along with every issue in our 66-year history, at Playboy Magazine. For a limited time, Playboy is offering two weeks of access free.
