Bearbook entitlement – a pollette

Surely if I knew how I could set this up like some of the other polls I see around – and I don't mind if someone wants to direct me to a website where I can easily do that in the future – but I need to get out an informal poll for feedback.
My editor at Alyson and I have been tossing around a couple of alternative titles for the next volume of Bearotica. Apparently the market is tiring of erotica titles with numbers, i.e., My First Time 3, Best Lesbian Erotica 6, &c. The term Bearotica, however, while not proprietary, is very much associated with my book. (Try Googling it.)
I'd like to ask folks to weigh in on what they think will most appeal to (prospective) readers. Also consider the subtitle: More Hot, Hairy, Heavy Fiction – which is open to change, as well. How do you rank the following:
___Bearotica 2
___Bearlust
___Bearlove
Or suggest something fabulous of your own (full credit if it's chosen).
Thanks for your time.
