The Whetstone Institute for the Advancement of Sexual Research is a leader in its field, dedicated in its pursuit of knowledge. And their newest receptionist Kelly Fitzpatrick has just thrown down the gauntlet to her childhood friend and boss, Jordan Whetstone, after revealing that she has failed to experience multiple orgasms.

With the spark of attraction fueling this challenge on, our couple will embark on a sexual interlude unlike any other they’ve known before. But will their friendship be able to endure this newest development? And will they be able to continue the employee-employer relationship? What will happen when all is said and done?

Institutional Sex does an excellent job of gathering its momentum and delivering. Kelly and Jordan are both likeable characters with a past connection that helps to add a bit of emotion and complexity to this short story. But the real strength of this story lies in its setting at the Institute, a place that reads like a wild playground, opening its doors to allow this tempestuous couple to explore several of its racy possibilities. Kudos to Ms. Damschroder in creating an almost ingenious setting that really works to power this sexually enticing read, sure to leave readers breathless.
