Though I can't vouch for the quality of them (as I haven't read them myself) Femdom Cave have 20 free stories you can download without signing up to anything at all. Actually, that's not strictly true... I can't vouch for the quality of 19 of them, the other one is obviously superb - By Invitation I believe it's called!
:)
Anyway if you love free stuff, go HERE and get clicking!
Speaking of writing, I am reliably informed that Stanley Jeffries has finished his new novel and submitted it to Pink Flamingo for publication. I've read most of it, in bits, but I'm looking forward to reading the finished article.
Also, hopefully by the end of today my new short story will be available as well.

Poundage, Pink Flamingos and a Throbbing Cock...
January has started well for us, with Mistress having already enjoyed four orgasms, one every other day in fact! I can't quite believe it's only been four days since I was allowed to cum... actually when Mistress was teasing me earlier I was trying to remember when I was allowed to cum, I knew it was this year but somehow I couldn't quite believe it, what with it only being the 8th today. Having just re-read my previous post I simply cannot comprehend that that was only four days ago, I just can't! Who knows how long it's going to be until Mistress allows me to cum like that again...?
Ludicrously, in light of that fact, I almost thought Mistress was going to ruin me tonight. I haven't had a ruined orgasm since September and she got me so close tonight but no, not this time. She teased me really good tonight, that's for damn sure, and left me throbbing like hell. Probably going to be using the new vibrating butt plug next time, I'm looking forward to that, while also being a little worried that it's going to be hard to stay in control! And thinking forward to our next session, I can see trouble ahead if she leaves me alone with that thing vibrating in my ass for five or ten minutes. It has seven settings, some of which are worse than others admittedly, but some of them are pretty brutal.
On the weight front, I gained 3.5lbs over Christmas, and my first week back I lost 0.5lbs, which means I need to lose another 3lbs to get back to where I was, and a further 2lbs to get to my 2.1/2 stone certificate (that's 35lbs to our American readers). I'm not too downhearted, it's been a very long time since I've started a year under 16 stone, probably eight or more, so while it is a little frustrating, the general trend is down, and that is the important thing. Mistress has promised to take me away somewhere when I get to three stone (42lbs) and of course, there'll be some special deviant treat for me at that juncture too! Don't know what yet, but it could be being allowed to cum in Mistress's mouth and then kissing her. Maybe? I don't really know. But it's a possibility. Perhaps a slim possibility...or not.
I decided to contact Pink Flamingo and tell them about my review of Stanley Jeffries book, I thought they might want to post a link on their website or something. I'm not sure if they have or not, but a very nice lady there offered to send me e-copies of the two books that I haven't got of Stanley's for review. After a lot of trial and error (and patience on her part, it must be said) I eventually managed to get something which works on my Nexus 7. It seems if you aren't downloading direct from Amazon, Kindle is about as user friendly as a very unfriendly thing. PDF files are pretty useless because they aren't adjustable for font sizes and the other sort didn't work in anything. Eventually I found the holy grail in epub files, which actually loaded themselves into the Google Books reader on my Nexus and seem to be working just fine. I'm about 10% into 'The Chastity Game' so far and finding it hard to put down.
While I was talking to the lady at Pink Flamingo I also enquired about the protocol for submitting a book for publication, and this has rather inspired me to get writing again. I made a lot of notes early last year for a novel I never started and I will be revisiting that shortly in an effort to start work on something suitable. Unlike Femdom Cave, Pink Flamingo require their Chastity/Femdom scenarios to be consensual, which suits me much better. I really didn't like trying to force a 'Forced Femdom/Chastity' story, because I felt like I had to tie myself in knots justifying it every step of the way and making sure there weren't any holes in the plot. Probably unnecessarily as it turned out, having seen some other examples the justification lasted all of two pages before the plots were left to drift off into the completely ridiculous.
Oh, I almost forgot, after I made Mistress cum, she let me worship her feet for a little while too. That was lovely.

Interview with Stanley Jeffries (Marcus Andrews)...
Earlier this year I received an email from a reader who invited me to check out the writings of a friend of his. Truth be told I wasn't exactly… umm, enthused… since most of the things I have been sent to review (particularly e-books... there's a reason some of these things can't get published properly, said the bitter and twisted would-be author...) have been less than entirely brilliant.
This, thankfully, was a different story. In fact I damn near did my eyes in trying to read the PDF on my Nexus 7 (damned tiny writing!) such was my eagerness to read on. The book (or rather books) in question was the 'Journey Into Chastity' trilogy and a finer tale of twisted fucked-up-ness you would be hard pushed to locate.
Having almost blinded myself reading the blessed thing, I reported back to the reader that I thought the book was fantastic and he put me in touch with the author 'Stanley Jeffries'. Stanley then kindly sent me the paperback version of the 'Journey Into Chastity' trilogy (if only I'd had that instead of that effing PDF file!) along with another book (The Slow Seduction of Claire MacDonald) which he had written under another name 'Marcus Andrews'. So I guess my first question is why did you write the books under different names?
SJ: Good question, because you would think an author would want to build as much recognition of his or her work as possible. But it was publisher, Pink Flamingo, who suggested that I keep the Stanley Jeffries name for FemDom stories, and use a different name for MaleDom. Apparently readers of erotic fiction like to be clear about exactly what they’ll be getting, which made sense to me. I’m an equal opportunity pervert, so I’m turned on by both genres.
RA: I'd like to start with the book you wrote under the name ‘Marcus Andrews’ if I could, mainly because it's fresher in my mind (I've literally just finished it). It's written in an interesting way, with two stories being told alternately and eventually joining up (though I must admit that bit confused me a little...until you straightened it out for me), what made you decide to tell it like that and did you find it easy to write like that? Did you write all of one story first or did you write it pretty much as the book goes?
SJ: I’d written an earlier story, The Chastity Game (FemDom), as an even more complex intertwining of timelines and viewpoints. I still think The Chastity Game is the best story I’ve written, and so the Slow Seduction I think I wanted to try to recapture that mechanism. But it can be hard to do…you need to keep a lot of stuff straight in your head – and as you pointed out it doesn’t always come over as easy to understand!
RA: I was quite taken aback when I first received the book, by the harshness of some of it, I guess I should have expected it to be quite harsh given what happens in the 'Journey Into Chastity' trilogy, I think what did it was I flicked it open at a page where one of the main female characters was having her head held under water... I guess it was partly that the character was female that made me feel a little uneasy, though I must say the scene bothered me less when I read it as part of the whole story.
SJ: Guilty as charged. There’s definitely some strong stuff in those two stories you’ve read. But actually some of my other stories aren’t as extreme. Karl’s Year in Chastity, and The Chastity Game are both more balanced. By the way, I think one of the reasons you might find some scenes to be extreme is that I try to create storylines that could actually happen. I actually don’t read a lot of erotic fiction myself because I tend to find that authors need to create alternate realities. Like some parallel universe where women are totally dominant, and men are sent to “re-education camps” to be trained as submissive slaves. Of course there’s a place for that kind of thing, but when those scenes become extreme we’re not as shocked because we know it’s a fantasy.
RA: In all seriousness, I hate those kind of books…
SJ: In the Slow Seduction book, the hero is a young guy (I think he’s twenty four) called Tony. He gets involved with his mother’s best friend, Rebecca, and initially she wants to dominate him. But he wants none of that, and turns the tables on her in quite an extreme way. In the Rebecca timeline, Tony sometimes does extreme things to her, but she keeps coming back for more. The other thing is that I tried to explore the fact that characters can’t be nice all the time. Sometimes they make mistakes, or do things they regret. The head under the water scene is one of those…and it’s at a point where Tony knows that his time with Rebecca is coming to an end. As you say, hopefully the scene makes sense in context.
The alternating chapters tell the other half of the story – which is where Tony meets Claire and falls in love with her. That part of the story is far more gentle…because Tony takes a young and innocent girl and introduces her to his lifestyle.
RA: In the book the main male character instigates some pretty harsh punishments on various females, but he also displays immense common sense and concern for sane practices, for example he is outraged when one of the women is caned to the point where she could potentially have been left scarred for life. Do you think it's important to try and instil a sense of responsibility in the reader who might one day want to try his hand at administering erotic punishments?
SJ: Very much so. This is partly to do with the fact I mentioned just now – that my stories are set in a “real world”. We all have to remember that BDSM has to be Safe, Sane and Consensual. Obviously as writers we don’t want to go all “preachy”, but I think if it fits into the story then why not throw in some advice at the same time? If you think about it there’s a lot of quite extreme stuff on the web these days. Studios like Mood Pictures (for MaleDom), or Cruel Amazons (for FemDom) show material that’s not just incredibly extreme, but could also be illegal under the UK’s new definitions of extreme pornography. If people use those movies as some kind of guide for their own S&M activities then that would be a huge mistake. It’s one thing to use those images for sexual arousal, but a totally different thing when you come to put it into practice. So maybe a bit of social responsibility in erotic fiction is a good thing.
RA: Both the books I've read of yours feature electro-torture quite heavily, is that something you've had a lot of experience with?
SJ: A fair bit – most of it on the receiving end, and all of it extremely mild. My favorite toy is the Tazapper. The thing I love about it is that it’s totally safe. It’s a battery-powered device that generates a static electric zap – a bit like touching a door handle if you’ve walked across a synthetic carpet, except a lot more powerful. There’s no intensity dial on a Tazapper – it’s just all the same level of zap each time. So the way you control the pain is by choosing the location of the zap (nipples are my favorite), and the rate of zapping. If you combine it with the helplessness of bondage it can be pretty intense. It’s really easy to control a scene like that with the usual safe words (“mercy” = “that’s my limit”, and “red” = “stop and talk properly”).
I’d like to try other electrical stuff, but the BDSM-style electro equipment can be pretty expensive. I’ve seen electric dog collars used in various ways – the most extreme being when they’d wrapped around a submissive male’s scrotum. Again – that kind of activity looks fun in the porn movies, but you need to be so careful with the power levels. Obviously pain has to play a part, but at the end of the day it’s also supposed to be safe, and fun for both parties. So right now we stick to the trusty Tazapper.
RA: Are your characters based on people you know or are they purely products of your imagination?
SJ: It’s a mixture, actually. If you use people you know then it saves a lot of time because you don’t have to build a detailed character profile. In the first part of Journey I based the characters on a girl I was engaged to, and it’s very, very, VERY loosely based on some real stuff that happened. It was way less interesting in real life!
If I meet certain people, sometimes there’s just something about them that makes me want to use them as characters. For the character of Gemma in The Chastity Game I used Rachel Riley, who is a hostess on a UK TV game show called Countdown. She’s utterly gorgeous, but she has this “girl next door” quality to her that I find enchanting. As she’s as smart as fuck too!
There’s a UK comedian called Jimmy Carr. Some of you reading this will know that he’s done a few spoof shows “8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown”, and he’s worked with Rachel Riley on those shows. On his latest stand-up comedy DVD he says this…“As some of you will know, I’ve had the chance to work with Rachel Riley recently, and I’m often asked if she’s as pretty in real life as she seems on TV. Let me put it like this…I would crawl naked across broken glass to suck the cock of the last guy who fucked her.”
One of the things I always have to do when I’m developing characters is to “fall in love” with my main female character. In Journey into Chastity I had four female characters: Laura, Christine, Angie, and Louise. Laura and Christine were based on girls I’d known (Laura was my ex-fiancee). Angie was invented, but Louise sprang out of a TV weather girl called Lisa Burke. Lisa is a Cambridge graduate in Natural Sciences (First Class Honors), and she’d lyrically beautiful. But she has an even more beautiful voice. I remember listening to her do a weather forecast and just melting as she spoke.
Lisa Burke
Obviously the trilogy was a very long story, but at various stages I had to evolve my own personal feelings for them. It’s one of the things I really like about the creative process.
RA: Going back to the 'Journey Into Chastity' trilogy, I obviously read it pretty much all in one go, but it was written as three separate books, what was the timescale of the creative process for that?
SJ: Flipping ages! Each book is over a hundred thousand words. I’m guessing it took at least a couple of years. As you know from reading it, there’s a humongous plot swing in Book Three, and because I’d published Book One already it took a lot of work to make sure I didn’t go off the rails and become inconsistent.
RA: Again there are two really rather nasty scenes in that book, one involving electro-torture and the other involving a blunted woodworking tool. Are you fucked up in the head or what?
SJ: You nailed it, yes! I really should be locked up. Preferably in a special chastity hospital where the nurses all dress in black leather and…wait a second…don’t get me started! The thing is that the male character in the Journey trilogy, John, is a serious masochist. And the two girls who dominate him sort of get a bit carried away. In some ways it highlights one of the issues of a BDSM relationship, because we do get really excited when we’re in the scene. The endorphins start flowing, and we can take all sorts of pain. Then the next morning we wake up and think “what the fuck did I do?”. But you’re right…some of the stuff was pretty extreme. People seem to like it though...
RA: I must say, despite my own better judgement I continued reading enthusiastically... that tells me something about your writing skills, wouldn't you agree?
SJ: Now I’m blushing. But I think as a reader sometimes you have to plough through some painful bits of a book to make progress on the plot. Equally as an author there are times I think “for goodness’ sake I’m really not enjoying writing this bit, but I need the story to move from one place to another, and this is the only way I can do it”. I remember reading Lord of the Rings as a kid, and there were a lot of bits of those books that were hard going. But you come out at the end really enjoying it.
RA: Does writing that kind of extreme scene get your own juices flowing, or are you just trying to shock the reader?
SJ: I get very turned on when I’m writing, absolutely. It’s interesting you ask if I’m trying to shock the reader. I never really thought about that. In fact, come to think of it I’m not sure I really consider the reader when I’m writing – how fucked up is that?
RA: Did you encounter any problems with your publisher regarding the severity of the content of the book or were they pretty relaxed about it all?
SJ: Things have changed a lot now that the religious right have got so much power in the US. In the real world I work for a US company and those poor sods have got to be so careful in their day to day work. I was lucky that most of my books sneaked in before the latest series of bans by Amazon. But I was a bit surprised when Fiona at Pink Flamingo told me that the Slow Seduction book wouldn’t be able to go on their main site – and it’d have to be listed on a more extreme site. In a way that was a wake up call for me, because I’m honestly not trying to write extreme stuff. I’m quite a nice chap really…honestly!
RA: I know you are working on a new book and you are trying to make it a bit less extreme, how's that going so far?
SJ: It’s going really well. I’ve written about 120,000 words – of course it doesn’t mean they’re “good words”, but it does tell me that I really need to stop creating more story and focus on making the story that’s already there better, and more consistent. It’s a FemDom story, and is told from the viewpoint of a Romanian woman who’s basically fallen on some tough times, and who needs to find a way to survive and help her family. She’s twenty four…she’s beautiful, and smart. I love writing strong female characters, and I also love creating dominant women who truly love the men they dominate. Here’s the summary text I’ve written for the back page cover…
“People in difficult situations sometimes have to take drastic action, which was how business graduate, Alina Florian, found herself sitting with a group of other pretty young girls waiting in a sports hall in her home town of Bucharest for the chance to be interviewed as a candidate for a modeling agency. She understood all too well what “modeling” might entail, but right now she was too desperate to be proud.
What she didn’t expect was the offer to become the wife, and full time Dominatrix, of English inventor and millionaire, Charles Waddington. The deal she was offered was simple; five years of her life in exchange for financial security forever for Alina and her family.
Taking the biggest risk of her life, Alina decided to go through with the deal, and embarked not only in this rather strange marriage, but also on an MBA course in a prestigious English business school.
Alina’s life was certainly transformed beyond her expectations. Still confused by the luxury her husband’s wealth could buy her, she begins to feel a strange attraction to her submissive slave. She discovers a love of physical domination, including sexual tease and denial, and enforced male chastity. Gradually her husband’s gentleness and devotion begins to win her over, despite the temptation she encounters from her new best friend, Rachel. But Alina also has to deal with her own turbulent past, and confront personal demons in her quest for happiness.
In his latest FemDom novel, Stanley Jeffries explores the possibility that money really might be able to buy love…as long as that love is earned through total devotion and suffering. The story includes scenes of intense verbal and physical Female Domination, and a gradual escalation of that dominance within a loving, and highly consensual relationship.”
I actually don’t have a title for it yet, but “The Alina Story” as I call it at the moment, really is a love story. It’s also the first time I’ve deliberately sought feedback on the story as it developed – and you’ve been a massive help there, Rob. The problem is that, even if I finish it soon, it tends to take ages for it to be published. Pink Flamingo has a big queue of stories, and I suppose they only have so much capacity to turn out the final finished books.
RA: I notice you have a couple more books listed on Amazon (Karl's Year in Chastity and The Chastity Game) are they available as paperbacks?
SJ: Interestingly both of these are a lot less extreme than either Journey or Slow Seduction. Karl’s Year in Chastity is available as a paperback, and I would have sent you a copy if I’d still got one. Authors are sent five copies of their books for “promotional” purposes (we don’t get the ebooks, oddly enough).
RA: I’m sure you would, I guess I’ll just have to stump up for it myself! :)
SJ: About a year ago I’d taken my last copy of Karl’s Year in Chastity to give to a pal of mine. We were down in London in a bar, and the book was sitting on the bar between us. There was a really cute Italian girl serving us, and she picked it up and asked about it. So over the next hour or so she kept coming back over to talk to us for a couple of minutes each time, and I was explaining how she needed to lock her boyfriend in chastity to get him under control. We kept the whole thing very, very polite and low key, and to our amazement the girl was really starting to get into the idea. At first we just assumed she was being nice to get a tip, but she kept asking sensible questions and coming back over to read bits of the book between serving other people. It was the middle of the week, and the bar was in the City of London, so everybody had gone home by then and the bar was almost empty, so she had plenty of spare time. The next thing is that the girl brought her two female colleagues over, and she starts explaining to them how they could change their men for the better! They weren’t quite as into the idea, needless to say...
RA: Their loss.
SJ: If you haven’t been to a pub in London lately, they are almost always staffed by Eastern European immigrants (they used to be staffed by Australians, but that phase seems to have passed). As I said, our girl was Italian – I know Italy’s not in Eastern Europe, but the other two girls were from Hungary. They were all in their early twenties, and my mate was loving it (he’d recently split up with his wife). So instead of giving him the book, I gave it to the Italian girl – along with my email address, of course. I wanted her to tell me if it worked on her boyfriend! Sadly this is the real world, and she never sent me an email.
RA: C'est la vie…
SJ: The Chastity Game is only available as an e-book, I’m afraid. At the time I wrote it, Pink Flamingo were overwhelmed with other manuscripts and so I asked if they just wanted to publish it as an ebook. I’ve got to agree with you – real books are still better! And I’m particularly annoyed that The Chastity Game isn’t available as a real paperback because I think it’s my best story overall. I’m hopelessly in love with the character of Gemma in that book (big sigh).
RA: Well Stanley, thank you very much for taking the time to answer my questions and giving me some insight into your creative process, it's much appreciated and I very much look forward to reading your new book when it's ready for release!

Mistress Severity by Alex Jordaine...
Renowned author of BDSM/Femdom novels, Alex Jordaine has a new book coming out called 'Mistress Severity'. I haven't read it yet, though I do have a copy on my bookshelf for when I have the time (thanks Alex).
Alex was recently interviewed by the website 'Cara Sutra' which until recently I had never heard of, but which was apparently the winner of the ETO Best Sex Blog Award for 2013. I have no idea what 'ETO' is either to be honest...still, it's worth a look, so why not head over there and read for yourself what Alex has to say. Obviously I'm bound to wonder why I haven't actually taken it upon myself to interview people for my blog. Maybe I should... anyway, click HERE to visit 'Cara Sutra' and read about Alex and his new book!

More on the 'Journey Into Chastity' trilogy...
I'm now reading part three of Stanley Jeffries' Journey Into Chastity trilogy and I must say it is absolutely outstanding. I really do take my hat off to the author, he has a knack of fooling the reader into believing everything he writes and every reveal comes as a total shock. Usually when I read erotic fiction, it's pretty clear what's going to happen and most plot twists are practically signposted in neon, but this one... I have no idea how it's going to end, beyond pure speculation.
The characters and scenes are so well written and the twists and turns are truly epic, I wonder if the author isn't actually a dominant himself, he certainly has the imagination for it.
Truth be told I am not one for reading much, at least not fiction, and most erotic fiction is read in small chunks before I go to sleep. This I have been glued to for the last few days, I am so impressed. If you only buy one book of this kind then I have to say get this one (or these three rather!). Outstanding.

Absolute filth...
Can you believe it's June tomorrow, I mean seriously! Time just seems to slip away, before you know it the Christmas cards will be in the shops again. About a fortnight ago I was supposed to start writing my new book, and of course, so far, no writing. I have got a lot of notes and scribbles that will form the basis of this book, but I can't help wondering if my goal of having it finished by the end of the year isn't a little ambitious without putting in some serious hours.
Inspiration strikes me at the oddest times and I have to make little notes through the day and then transfer them to my notebook, soon I should be transferring those notes to a Word document and then the real work starts.
It's strange, when I read back some of my stories (particularly 'Owned') it kinda surprises me how filthy it was, which makes me wonder actually if my recent writing hasn't been a little bit tame. Seeing as this new book is intended to be my first proper published/self-published/e-book/etc... I am determined to make it my filthiest writing to date.
I have yet to read a pure chastity book that makes truly gripping reading, and I think a novel length story needs more characters and more interaction between characters. My book will feature chastity, femdom, cuckolding... and probably some degree of humiliation/forced-bi/cum play. It won't feature any cross-dressing however, as that simply doesn't interest me, and while this is intended as a commercial venture, it is first and foremost about writing what I want to read. I have tried writing to a format (see my 'Unfinished Femdom Cave Book') and I found it really, really hard to dedicate myself to it enough. The problem as I see it was that, since Femdom Cave requested the story to be 'forced', I spent ages going around in circles trying to make that scenario convincing. Having since seen other examples of 'forced' story writing, I can see that maybe all that's necessary is for there to be some initial 'forcing' and then just get on with the story.
But I can't do that. My thing is I have to make my story believable, I can't stand stories where strong reluctance turns to wilfulness within a few sentences. Some people come up with great story ideas and then throw them away by rushing things. It's really disappointing.
When reading other people's work I usually find myself picking it apart, why would this person do that, why doesn't this person just do that... it's quite annoying really. It must be great to just read everything and take it at face value. I think it's the curse of the 'involved', as much as I love making music, I think I probably enjoyed listening to other people's music before I knew how it was done.
I'm reading a book at the moment actually, which is quite good, very good in parts actually, but there's still this nagging feeling in the background. Why did the guy not just cut the padlock off the chastity device if he really didn't want it on? I mean, it's really not that difficult. Ah well. Just as well I'm writing a novel since it will give me plenty of time to build the story and make it as realistic as possible. Oh yes, and I guarantee it will be absolute filth too.

My book will feature chastity, femdom, cuckolding... and probably some degree of humiliation/forced-bi/cum play. It won't feature any cross-dressing however, as that simply doesn't interest me, and while this is intended as a commercial venture, it is first and foremost about writing what I want to read. I have tried writing to a format (see my 'Unfinished Femdom Cave Book') and I found it really, really hard to dedicate myself to it enough. The problem as I see it was that, since Femdom Cave requested the story to be 'forced', I spent ages going around in circles trying to make that scenario convincing. Having since seen other examples of 'forced' story writing, I can see that maybe all that's necessary is for there to be some initial 'forcing' and then just get on with the story.
But I can't do that. My thing is I have to make my story believable, I can't stand stories where strong reluctance turns to wilfulness within a few sentences. Some people come up with great story ideas and then throw them away by rushing things. It's really disappointing.
When reading other people's work I usually find myself picking it apart, why would this person do that, why doesn't this person just do that... it's quite annoying really. It must be great to just read everything and take it at face value. I think it's the curse of the 'involved', as much as I love making music, I think I probably enjoyed listening to other people's music before I knew how it was done.
I'm reading a book at the moment actually, which is quite good, very good in parts actually, but there's still this nagging feeling in the background. Why did the guy not just cut the padlock off the chastity device if he really didn't want it on? I mean, it's really not that difficult. Ah well. Just as well I'm writing a novel since it will give me plenty of time to build the story and make it as realistic as possible. Oh yes, and I guarantee it will be absolute filth too.

Free book on iTunes...
The splendidly talented Alex Jordaine contacted me the other day to let me know that iTunes are giving one of his books away free between 20th May and the 2nd of June, so I thought I would pass this good news on, after all, everyone loves free stuff - right?
When I asked Alex which of his books he thought was his best a few weeks ago, he said (after a little prodding) 'Mistress of Torment', so if you like quality Femdom fiction I suggest you get off to iTunes now and get yourself a quality freebie!
Please note: This download will only work on an Apple mobile device, sorry if I misled you. Bang goes my chance of getting it for free too!

The 'Femdom Cave' book project....
Some long time readers may remember that a long time ago I was writing a 'Forced Femdom' story for the Femdom Cave website. Well, I wrote about 23,000 words I think and for about a year now I guess it's been sitting on my desktop, unfinished. I don't think it's going to get finished and I don't think it's going to be going on Femdom Cave, so I'm thinking I might as well post it here so that you guys can read what there is... I might even finish it at some point, but I'm not making any promises. I found it wasn't as easy as I thought trying to work in the 'Forced' angle convincingly and by the end of the process I just wasn't invested in the writing and moved on to other things. It seems a pity for all those hours to go to waste all the same, so I will start posting it tomorrow I think.

The infamous 'Sex' book...
It occurred to me the other day, that that famous Madonna 'Sex' book must be on the internet, and sure enough Googling 'Madonna' and 'Sex' led me straight to a tumblr which shows you the whole thing. My curiosity was mainly due to a nagging feeling that it was probably a lot of fuss about nothing, and so it proved really... the only 'shocking' thing about it was that it was Madonna with her finger in her pussy and not some anonymous model.
I have to say I think if I'd paid £100 for that I would have been very disappointed, the only good thing about the book I thought was the page where Madonna writes about her pussy and how much she loves it (read it here). The book as a whole is pretty lame, but that one page gives a positive message of which I whole heartedly approve.
My cold has come back, big time, so I doubt the Femdom Session is going to happen tomorrow. I am so sick of this, this is the third cold in a row now..

More on the subject of books and 'that' book...
It's obvious I guess that with the success of 'that' book publishers were going to rush re-release copies of other books of a vaguely similar bent. That said, I was surprised to walk into a branch of WHSmith this morning and see a copy of a book I actually own (Haven of Obedience) sitting there at number 18 in the bestsellers chart. Of course, the cover has been redesigned to mirror the look of the '50 Shades' books, along with all the others... but unless someone has rewritten it (which I very much doubt) then it rather surprises me that it is being sold right there... I remember not too long ago if those books were available in the high street they were on a shelf on their own presumably high up away from kids.
Now I haven't read 'that' book, but I did flick though it and from what has been said about it, while it's subject may be 'racey' the language used to portray it is rather... euphemistic. As I recall, 'Haven of Obedience' while fitting the Sub Female / Male Dominant criteria the 50 Shades reader is probably looking for, doesn't quite fit into that 'porn but not really' category, it's just flat out porn.
Indeed, checking out the reviews on Amazon I'm not entirely surprised to see a couple of bad reviews criticising the lack of story and the book's focus on the sex. It is after all, a sex book...
It will be interesting to see how this continues to play out, will all the 50 Shades readers seek out harder and harder material? Will the high street respond by becoming even less bothered about the contents of the books they sell, even though they continue to put magazines like Loaded on the top shelf? It's quite amusing and interesting to see how this will go... I foresee a time in the not too distant future when someone will pick up one of these re-branded books and be appalled by it, and then the fun will really start.
As it is, Mistress R told me this morning that some book groups are planning to burn copies of 50 Shades, not because of the 'racey' nature, but simply because of the dreadful standard of writing contained therein...
*Mistress R tells me that actually the book groups are planning to burn it because it promotes violence against women, it was actually the journalist writing about it who said it should be burned because it's so badly written.

A voice of dissent....
Further to my comments on the book 'Fifty Shades of Grey' the other day, Mistress R's trashy magazine featured this letter:
"I was excited to get my copy of Fifty Shades of Grey after all the hype. But by the time I got to chapter ten I couldn't read on - I was so angry about the sex scenes. This book must have been written by a man under a pseudonym. No woman could know so little about the female body. According to E L James, all men have to do is give a couple of thrusts and we're screaming in grateful orgasmic pleasure! Have we learned nothing since Mills and Boon."
On the one hand I can see her point, but from a writers perspective the female orgasm isn't the easiest thing to write about, seeing as it usually requires a long period of repetitive actions to get a result...
That's the first negative comment I've read though... can't help thinking this book is a bit like the Emperor's new clothes. Apparently they are making a film of it now.... that'll be an interesting project, if it's filthy as they say it is.

50 Shades of whatever...
I was just walking through Asda (Walmart) when I came across a big stand full of copies of this book that everybody and their Auntie is talking about. I thought, that's a bit weird, I thought this book was supposed to be filth, what's it doing next to the biscuits where kids could pick it up'. So I picked a copy up and flicked through it.... well, I expected it to be like a 'Black Lace' book, orifices stretched on every page, fountains of cum flying everywhere, but no, I spent about a minute flicking though and found nothing to get remotely excited about.
Now, that's not to say it's not a good book, I haven't read it properly so I really can't comment. But it seems pretty clear to me that (surprise, surprise) it's not the tome of filth it's made out to be. Fair play to the author though, it's nice to know that someone who was doing something not unlike what I have done in the past (posted her writing on a story site) has become an overnight sensation, maybe my turn will come one day?
Probably not, eh. I can't imagine any of my stuff being sold in a supermarket.
-
It's been a shit week this week, nothing to report except that my cat has perked up in the last couple of days, so hopefully she'll be okay now. I've got to go to a fucking wedding on the weekend, I hate weddings, they are so fucking boring...
-
As you've probably noticed the poll has finished, I am genuinely amazed that someone voted to watch the football. Quite unbelievable.

I finally saw a Kindle...
Yesterday I finally saw a Kindle in real life. I was quite surprised how the screen really didn't look like a screen at all, I think that's rather clever. I've always wondered about that part of it because as someone who uses a computer a lot the last thing I'd want is to read books via something that looks like another screen. But it looks more like flat paper, which is very clever I think.
What has this to do with chastity you may ask, well, nothing directly. But it makes the idea of getting one more appealing to me, and once I have one I'm far more likely to start writing and publishing my own Kindle books. At the moment though I'm still spending my spare-spare time trying to master my Fruit Loop music programming.

Neglected...
Well, I'm feeling that this blog is getting a bit neglected lately... but the truth is that nothing much is really happening. True I made Mistress R cum on Tuesday, which was great, but since then it's been a case of life getting in the way of things. Last night Mistress came home from the dentist with the news that she needed a crown replacing, then the shower broke... so instead of going out on our date night, we were organizing a new shower and someone to fit it a.s.a.p.
I must admit that when we moved in to this house we had our bathroom refitted and I couldn't see the point of keeping a bath when neither of us ever have a bath, now it seems quite smart. Since we can't have a shower we can at least have a bath! It's a pain in the backside, but at least we'll be clean.
I'm thirteen days into denial, and I'm still a little bit perturbed that I'm not even waking up hard. I don't know what the hell is wrong with me at the moment. I've even managed to put weight on this week (3-4lbs!!!). I don't even understand that. To put four pounds on you supposedly need to eat 14,000 excess calories (4x 3,500). Well considering I've only eaten 11,500 this week in total, I really don't see how in the hell I can have put on weight! Not to mention I've exercised six days out of seven. Truth be told I'm a little bit pissed off.
But anyway, tonight will be good, since I will be worshipping Mistress R's gorgeous pussy once again and doubtless enjoying some nice teasing, maybe I'll even get to cum! Stranger things have happened. I'm feeling quite ambivalent about the thought of cumming though, albeit that will probably change when Mistress R is slapping my cock and stroking me near to the edge.
Hmmm...
I was searching Literotica the other day when I came across a very good story. I have an email buddy who is mad for cuckolding stories and big black cocks, so I forwarded the link to him and he was blown away by it, in fact he said he hadn't actually finished it because he came by the end of the first page, and then again by the end of the second! You can't get a much better recommendation than that!

Getting this blog back on it's feet...
Well after something of a dry spell, this blog seems to be getting back on it's feet and I'm posting more frequently. With yesterday's red-hot sex still on my mind, I went to bed just after midnight, followed about half an hour later by my gorgeous Mistress. I knew she wouldn't be interested in teasing me much, if at all, having allowed me to cum just a few hours previously, but she still pressed her lovely ass back into my surprisingly hard cock a few times, making it just that little bit harder to turn over and go to sleep.
Before I did Mistress R rolled onto her front slightly and I kissed all over her back, sliding down the bed slowly as I went so that I could also kiss her beautiful ass cheeks. I so, so wanted to ask permission to worship her delicious ass, but I knew she was tired so I (very) reluctantly kissed my way back up her back and then kissed her goodnight.
I got an email this morning from someone who wants me to review one of his (Kindle) books, and he provided a link to the stories he has up for sale on Amazon. I never knew you could buy such filth on Amazon! Nothing 'coy' about these titles, 'Big Black Cock Junkie: A Breeding Sex Story' for instance. I definitely need to look into this, I never realised there was such an opportunity to sell my stories, although at present I have no idea how to go about it.

Femdom cave book update...
Hmm, well I got some good feedback from Femdom Cave about my book, and an offer was made to help me with it if I would agree to start serialising the book straight away. I wasn't really happy to do that since I am aware that I could end up losing interest or just not being able to complete the book, so in the end FDC decided they didn't have the time to help me with it. Which is fair enough, since they don't want to waste time on something with no guarantee of a book at the end of it. But this does mean that I'm kind of back to square one, well not square one exactly since I've already got 24,000 words written, and FDC are still interested in the finished book and they did give me a few hints as to what needs to be done. I don't really know what I'm going to do now. Part of me is inclined to just forget it, but it seems such a waste. The only problem is there's a LOT of work to do to get it to a finished state and it isn't easy to write because it was written in a particular way for FDC.
Well, I don't know what to do with the bloody thing to be honest. I really don't have enough spare time to do anything with it at the moment.

Femdom cave book update...
So, some of you longstanding readers may remember that way back in April or May I started writing a Femdom novel for FemdomCave. Well, at present there are 24,000 words written, but it has not been touched since July. Furthermore I had somewhat lost faith in it and needed a second opinion, so I sent it to FemdomCave and had them read it for me, to see whether it was worth persevering with.
I am pleased to say that the feedback I've received from them has been very positive (thanks for that FC) and with that boost and some direction from them, I think it can be worked into a saleable novel. Now I just need to find the time to get my head down and write!

Okay this is just weird...
Those of you looking for a Christmas present for a loved one or elderly relative, might wish to consider this unusual book...
I promise I'm not making this up, you can buy this book and this is the blurb from the back cover...
Semen is not only nutritious, but it also has a wonderful texture and amazing cooking properties. Like fine wine and cheese, the taste of semen is complex and dynamic. Semen is inexpensive to produce and is commonly available in many, if not most, homes and restaurants. Despite all of these positive qualities, semen remains neglected as a food.
This book hopes to change that.
Once you overcome your initial hesitation, you'll be surprised to learn how wonderful semen is in the kitchen. Semen is an exciting ingredient that can give every dish you make with it an interesting twist. If you are a passionate cook and are not afraid to experiment with new ingredients, you will love this cook book.
I'm not terribly convinced, but if you fancy baking a cake with an interesting buttercream filling, click the picture and find out more!

BOOK REVIEW: Haven of Obedience by Marina Anderson...
Despite this book focussing on Female submission, rather than Male submission I decided to give it a go anyway, and I'm glad I did. Marina Anderson's writing style is very readable and I really raced through this book. Sure it has no real depth, but it's a sex novel at the end of the day and there's plenty of that. Despite my own thoughts on the matter I'm not entirely sure that people who read books like this want an enormous amount of plot and character development, which makes me a little concerned about the ultimate fate of my own book (which is still firmly on the back-burner), since I think it has an inordinate amount of plot respective to the amount of actual 'action'. But I digress...
Don't get me wrong, Marina does imbue the characters with adequate texture and she does a fair job of keeping the uneasy relationship between the two main characters on the boil. But I do have one or two niggles...
'The Haven' of the title is a 'secret club' where people are invited to go to learn to be submissive. This includes men and women who are too aggressive in bed, like the heroine 'Natalie'. Of course she's somewhat reluctant to go, reluctant to learn and of course is ultimately broken by the hero 'Simon'...
There are a couple of scenes where guys are taught to endure denial and teasing, and I applaud the author for including those, but my one big beef is with the cop out that she uses when distinguishing between male and female learning techniques.
About half way through the book all the women at 'The Haven' are marched into a room and into a circle of chairs occupied by the male residents and 'forced' to engage in lesbian sex (which they are reluctant to do) under the pretence of educating the watching men about how to 'pleasure' a woman. All well and good I suppose, and I'm sure none of us chaps would be complaining about that.
So how do we think the women might learn about 'pleasuring' men? Might all the men be marched into the circle of women and forced to commit acts of felatio and Sodomy on each other? No. It's quietly brushed under the carpet and the women are said to have 'been shown video's educating them in the ways of male sexuality'.
I'm sorry but that's a cop out. I know the publisher probably would have baulked if she'd written a scene where all the guys wanked each other off, but you know.... what's sauce for the goose, etc, etc...
But aside from that I can't really think of too much to criticise. Of course it's all rather far fetched, and everyone has piercing eyes and toned physiques (yawn) but that aside it's an extremely enjoyable read. I will probably keep it too, it's a lot better than that other one I reviewed a while back (Lust Call) and certainly could be read again I think...
