The Sexual Revolution 2.0...

I've been flipping through this book by Regina Lynn, "Sexual Revolution 2.0" rather verbosely subtitled "Getting Connected, Upgrading Your Sex Life, and Finding True Love -- or at Least a Dinner Date -- in the Internet Age". [sm=tongue.gif]

Did ANYONE like Ann Rice's "Beauty" series?


I did. To me, they were better-written than her Vampire Chronicles, although that may be because I got tired of Lestat very quickly. [:D]




ruthfw -> RE: Reading Material (11/16/2005 5:56:44 PM)

They were, at the time I read them, a revelation--at the time there really wasn't a whole lot of mainstream SM erotica available.

Going back, I'm not that happy with them. But I am grateful that they were there for me to discover, and I'm sure newbies are still discovering SM with them.

They certainly popularized the idea of pony play.




ToServeIsToLive -> RE: Reading Material (11/16/2005 6:04:11 PM)

i'm not sure if my taste is worthy of giving as recommendation, but i'll try: Further Adventures of Alice It's a series of short stories with a lot of humor towards the start mostly dealing with a woman that gets involved with some serious spanking. It's not particullarly realistic, but i enjoyed it.




LacieDoll -> RE: Reading Material (11/17/2005 2:04:40 PM)

I did read the Beauty series. I didn't particularly enjoy it. I felt Ann Rice had the basis for a great storyline and messed it up. There were so much more she could have done that she didn't and so much she did that didn't make sense.




Wolfie648 -> RE: Reading Material (11/17/2005 2:39:23 PM)

Training with Miss Abernathy gets my vote.

Midori probably as well (not read her book(s) but I did attend a conference - presents her ideas clearly)

I've never read the Loving Dominant (not really my style ya know ;-) so I can't put a vote up for it. Sorry John!

I thought the beauty series was horribly written, so poorly in fact I almost didn't read them, fortuantly it gets a little better written, Also most her stuff she wrote about was not only dangerous it was far fetched whanko fantasy material.


I guess that's nice if you read fiction for whanko material, but I would of liked to see a little bit of credibility in the stuff she wrote about.

What Anne Rice wrote was FICTION, it was exquisitely written erotica. It was not meant to be a how to guide to bdsm. Very little that she wrote was actually dangerous, strenuous perhaps but not life threatening. 

edited to add; my Mistress answered you on the thread entitled books.




missturbation -> RE: Reading Material (8/2/2006 12:31:37 PM)

I've read screw the roses, send me the thorns and didnt think much of it. I didnt particularly like the story of o either. I did however love carries story by molly weatherfield and have ordered the second book in the series safe word although i have heard it is a dissapointing sequel.




popeye1250 -> RE: Reading Material (8/2/2006 12:42:33 PM)

I read "The Story of O" back in the 1980's and loved it!




FelinePersuasion -> RE: Reading Material (8/2/2006 7:27:33 PM)

True they are fiction, but they were very poorly writting in my mind. I also like I said, like a little bit of credibility in my fantasy though,  The thing is you have to suspend your disbelieve i think the saying was, and that's true but I personally am never going to fantasize about anything  that she wrote in the books. And in reading fiction I would like to find something I'd like to fantasize over.

Now if you asked would I fantasize about being painted  up to look like an animal and be a lovely piece of art hell yes lol.

I think there's at least a (miniscule) possibility that reading, in general, is highly overrated. 

Than again maybe not.

You're kidding right?




FelinePersuasion -> RE: Reading Material (8/3/2006 8:08:30 PM)

I found out my local library has some of the bdsm books I want, like 100 strokes before bed. They also have some sexual health books, one of them I checked out was intimacy for two  and some other how to enjoy sex type books.

I find it very unusual that a public library would carry obvious erotica.   I actually didn't care for much of 100 Strokes - not terribly engaging fiction in my opinion. 





FelinePersuasion -> RE: Reading Material (8/3/2006 8:20:42 PM)

I was supprised too. Pleased also.  You never know what you'll find. I am all for libraries having wide varieties of topics, just as long as it's not in reach of kids.
