This is the erotic subtext to a surprising range of superhero tales. Before her stood a man whose body was enveloped in a long cloak, and whose face was covered with a black mask so that she could see nothing of his features except his glittering eyes.”
“And suddenly she was awakened by a touch on her arm, and sat up quickly, and then would have screamed except that a hand was crushed against her lips to prevent her. Senorita Lolita is bored by the unmanly Don Diego, but she is titillated by his masked outlaw: For McCulley’s Zorro, a mask is a fetish. It’s also one of the most thinly veiled descriptions of a penis I’ve ever read. That’s my favorite passage from all of superhero literature.
My body straightened, new blood seemed to course through my veins, my voice grew strong and firm, fire came to me! And the moment I removed cloak and mask I was the languid Don Diego again.” Zorro, however, likes to keep his mask on: The novel’s most touching scene takes place not in bed but during a picnic lunch in a public park, with both heroes fully clothed but unmasked.

I reached my arms around Goran, pulled him in, and our lips met.”
He raised it to his mouth, placed his warm lips in the middle of my palm and kissed it. Goran took my hand off his mouth and held it. With one palm over his forehead and the other palm over his nose and mouth, I looked into those deep, dark pupils and saw the way he used to look at me when he was Dark Hero, when I didn’t know. So here’s my favorite gay superhero sex scene:
