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".

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.

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.

Status: offline 		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.

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 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.

Status: offline 		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.

Than again maybe not.

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.
