I quite enjoyed both the stories and the sex scenes!

Interestingly, most people here seem to be mentioning non-porn/erotica-oriented books with some sex scenes, while I took this thread to be mainly about porn/erotica-oriented books... There's another thread for the first kind :

For me the two are very different categories... Like ordinary movies and porn movies...

Argus' books are mostly consensual but they also mostly include subtle psychological manipulation (which isn't bad for me). Basically, an inexperienced (at least in the kinky stuff) woman is drawn deeper into submission by a dominant man or woman using either her own lust or some other means, her limits constantly being moved, and while she's basically happy AFTER every step of the limit moving, she's generally not aware it's happening or of the final destination...
Anyway, not everything you read in books is practical or moral or meant to be implemented in reality, sometimes fantasy is just fantasy (though there are still some sane limits ofcourse).
Actually those books are pretty much completely anti-feministic as a sexual fantasy, but in real life I consider myself a feminist and oppose any gender discrimination (I actually like books with strong female heroines, like John Varley's "Gaea" or John Brosnan's "Sky Lords")...
