Maybe even to put them in practice...

Funny you should mention them. D.H. Lawrence was the first writer I thought of. I still re-read Lady Chatterly's Lover at least once a year. That's one hot book -- even the non-sex scenes are hot.

I like the Nexus books a lot. The good thing about them is, apart from being well written, the code system they have, to show the special interest, like spanking etc.

Books I enjoyed were by Fiona Locke (spanking), Yolanda Celbridge (BDSM/hard) and Penny Birch (what a pseudonym!!)

Then there is BJ Wayne, exploring slave education.

Most of these books are about submission and spanking in a mild manner. As I especially love the SM part, there are other books with more vivid descriptions of pain and ways to inflict it that I like to read.

Have you tried Man with a Maid and it's sequels (I think there are two)? Quite a bit of spanking, the sequels get more heavily BDSM. Also the Sleeping Beauty trilogy by Anne Roquelaure (aka Anne Rice). There's actually a decent story in those.

Allright, here's a question for you book-reading geeks out there :
HOW DID ENKIDU BECOME CIVILIZED (having begun as a wildman) ?

Recognized the name from Epic of Gilgamesh, mostly through various fantasy and romance allusions. Sorry don't know how he became civilized, I do know that one or both of them died, but now you've got me curious, I'm going to have to find it and read it.

Thank you Tony, I will go and have a look at them! Wouldn't have thought someone else here is on the kinky side... Enkidu excluded, but he is a weirdo anyway

I remember a friend of mine reading the Sleeping Beauty trilogy, way back when. She said she really liked it. Thanks for reminding me to look it up.

Edit: Ugh! The first one The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty is $12.99. My cap at $9.99. I can not see paying more for an e-book, than I would for a paperback book (which technically means that my cap should be $8.99).

Well, if anyone wants to pick up free "adult themed books" of the deliberately erotic variety, this month All Romance eBooks is having their annual Earth Day countdown giveaway of the 1st in many erotic/romance series with a new book each day (offer good for 2 days at a time).

Links are in the Deals forum, and someone there must love BDSM, because 3 out of the 4 books offered thus far are BDSM-themed (het, gay, and bi w/ménage thus far, so something for everyone!)

Another good deed done... Btw after you read it take a look at some of the Daniken-style conspiracy theories concerning Enkidu. I don't pay much attention to such bollocks usually, but the idea of Enkidu as an ancient alien astronaut whose "flying chariot" is actually a spaceship is pretty interesting, as a kind of SF fantasy...

Lol, look who's talking !
I can't hold a candle to you dear lady, as you are one kinky pervert (and I mean that as a pure compliment), and besides who knows what you would do with the candle !

Of course I'd talk you into doing things with a candle to me

[Enkidu of Abydos]

Well I do have a couple of ideas...

[Nyssa]

Should have known It would just be a matter of time...

Oh and trying to read this site on an iPhone is not a happy expirience.
I would love an app for MobileReads.... Hint, hint, hint.

Don't worry, he is just braggin', you can only do so many things with a candle and claiming a "couple" of ideas... well, you know, men *sighs*

Could mobileread get on tapatalk? That would help

Well, there's the shape, and the flame and the molten wax, and I for one can certainly think of a couple different ways to make use of one or more of those aspects for the mutual enjoyment of suitably inclined, consenting adults. But I think a continuation of this train of thought is better suited for Fetlife than this august forum...

I'm... conflicted about it. I like the view into the different mindsets of both long-time and freshly-minted werewolfs. I'm certainly interested in seeing further developments in the lives of both lycanthropes and their friends. So in that aspects, the story is quite good since it makes me care about the protagonists and handles the subject matter in an interesting and engaging way. And let's be frank, the sex is hot, too.

On the other hand, Lupine Dreams has so many flaws that my annoyance at those flaws is threatening to overwhelm the positive aspects. There's the complete lack of explanation for the transmission. There's the 2000 year old werewolf who has somehow managed over all this time to nurse a petulance and emotional immaturity that would put the average eight year old to shame. There's the woman who within two days goes from having found her soul mate in a werewolf to being the poster child for u-haul lesbians everywhere, despite never having entertained any thoughts of homosexuality before. There are all those terribly open-minded law enforcement people in what is elsewhere acknowledged to be a close-minded [edit] Nowhere. It's kinda like the characters don't feel like people so much as puppets on strings dancing to the author's capricious will.

And there were numerous passages I found myself skipping over until the author would return from their current digression and get on with the story already. So, yeah, I both like it and hate it, I guess. :-)
