More filth from Salome

I've written another work of fiction. It is sheer filth, politically incorrect, and all that. You won't like it. On the other hand, it's only £0.77p and you might find it a bit of a turn on. That makes it a really cheap thrill, doesn't it? http://www.amazon.co.uk/Party-Discipline-femdom-Salome-Verdad-ebook/dp/B00NQCSVDM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1411206868&sr=8-1&keywords=party+discipline+salome+verdad

Review of “Fuck Me Please” by Eden Rose

There is more than one way to write a dirty book. There's the kind where everything is left to the imagination, or to the careful decoding of euphemisms. And there's the opposite – the literary equivalent of “wham bam thank you mam”, where the writer dumps you straight into the mechanics of the sex, and finishes up when they finish.

For my money, though, the best erotic writing combines: a good build-up – an interesting situation, ideally with some dramatic and sexual tension; some insight into the inner lives of the participants – I don't just want to know what bits they put where, or how good it feels, I want to know what they think and feel about it; and a good, earthy description of the mechanics.

Eden Rose's new book ticks all of these boxes. The situations are wild – an ornithologist seduced by two women from a neighbouring village, a new age women's resort, an estate agent emerging from a long period enforced abstinence...each one is well crafted and nicely paced. By the time the sex arrives – which isn't too long, for the most part – you are involved in the situation and care about the characters.

It is by no means romantic fiction. It's about fucking, not love. There is plenty of kink – group sex, fetishes, and other twists and turns that I won't spoil for you. A minor disappointment for me, as a fan of Rose's earlier work, is that there is no S&M at all. Still, informed sources suggest that she's now working on a femdom novel, so stay tuned.

This books shows beyond doubt how well the short story format works for erotic fiction. There is a natural pace and rhythm to short stories that suits the pace of sex. I find long dirty novels tend to drag a bit. Either the author either decides that a book that long needs a properly contrived plot and narrative arc – in which case that gets in the way of the depictions of the sex, which is the main reason that you were reading it in the first place. The abominable '50 Shades' is a casualty of this tendency as the heroine agonizes about whether she can ultimately redeem the damaged Christian Grey – who cares?

Or they don't bother with a plot – in which case it's just one fuck after another, and you can't but help getting bored.

So I'd back the short story format for erotica any day. And you won't find better erotic short stories than these.

Review of 'The Penitentiary' by Tanya Simmonds

Another amusing femdom romp by Tanya Simmonds, with lots of luscious detail to satisfy the most exacting connoisseurs of the genre. Once again, there's a certain cinematic quality to it, though if 'The Paramount Rule' sometimes felt like an Ealing comedy, the trashy Southern aesthetic of this one really feels like it ought to have been made by Russ Meyer. How we would have loved the assertive big-breasted women prison guards!

All of Tanya Simmonds' favourite fetishes are here – orgasm denial, sadistic women getting off on men unable to come, punishment for ejaculation, and lots of cocks in cruel constrictions; I don't believe anyone has explored the erotic potential of the simple rubber band as much as Simmonds has. There's also a strap-on rape of an inmate by a powerful uniformed guard – I mean, really, what more could you ask for? There's lots of enforced cunnilingus, and some rather sweet depictions of vanilla romantic love between some repentant guards and their devoted prisoner-lovers. Once again, the cruellest, most sexually repressed and repressive of the women (a right-wing religious fundamentalist, naturally) is revealed to be a hypocritical sex-obsessed deviant herself.

The plot mechanics are carefully thought through, and there is enough action and twists to thread the sex scenes into a coherent narrative. I could have done without the epilogue which ties up all the loose ends and lets us know what happens to all the characters after the action, but that's just me. I also don't understand what has happened to the cover, either, which seems to depict a woman in bondage – where are all the dominant women and subjugated men from the story?

If you enjoy a sexually charged story with lots of wanton, cruel women in uniform, then this one is definitely for you.

Salome is interviewed!

This celebrity interview with Salome took place ages ago, and then she forgot about it. It appeared in late July, but no-one told her. So she is posting this link late. Oh well, better than never...http://www.bdsmbookreviews.com/2013/07/27/interview-with-salome-verdad/

Another review - this time by acclaimed femdom author Tanya Simmonds

And what a super review it is too - read it all here, then read it again, and tell your friends, slaves and mistresses. And tell them how much fun they are missing out on.

You can find out more about Ms Simmonds here, on her blog. She is a talented femdom author with a string of successful publications, so the review is praise indeed.

An enjoyable femdom romp in the style of classic British comedy

A review of 'The Paramount Rule' by Tanya Simmonds

The cover from the now-rare first edition

This amusing femdom novel is described by its author as a 'romp', and that's exactly what it is. There's a touch of classic British comedy to it, though it isn't exactly played for laughs. In Oakpark Grange school there's a dodgy institution trading on an undeserved reputation. There are dissolute aristocrats, and ladies of a certain age with refined manners but powerful sex drives. It has the acute social observation that made the Ealing comedies, and subsequently the Carry On films, so excruciating and at the same time enjoyable.

There is a definite retro feel to it, in the settings, the deferential power and social relationships it depicts, and most of all in the language. The male pupils of the school don't have “cocks”, they have “members” (always turgid or tumescent); they don't “come”, they “spend”. The story is set in the early 1950s, but it could just as easily be the 1920s. It's definitely in some mythologised past England, where everything stops for tea at four o'clock.

The retro quality is of course enhanced by the boarding school setting, which provides for arbitrary authoritarianism, rules and punishments, relationships between older women and young men, and lots of creeping about in the dark for illicit nocturnal rendezvous. Well, it worked for J K Rowling, didn't it?

The period feeling doesn't detract from the fun aspects of the book. There are four beautiful, cruel and passionate dommes, and lashings of lashings, with lots of different instruments. There is enforced cunnilingus in a special section of the punishment room, lesbian love between the teachers, and bondage with special equipment, including a penis pillory and an ingenious 'controller' which automatically masturbates the recalcitrant young men but delivers appropriately timed electric shocks to prevent them from coming. Now that's surely an anachronism whatever the time-period the book's setting – I didn't actually get one of those until last year.

There is plenty of straightforward sex too, between teacher and pupil and then between pupils once the school goes co-ed. In fact, the book is almost awash with semen – for a novel in which the focus is supposed to be orgasm denial, there are an awful lot of high-volume ejaculations. That's my main gripe with the book. Given the orgasm denial theme I was looking forward to a lot more teasing and frustrated male desire, which I find very sexy; but the horny, hot boys are rarely prevented from coming whenever they want to, even if they are often punished afterwards. Chastity devices do make a small appearance near the end, but I'd like to have seen more of them (apparently they are more prevalent in what is in effect the sequel, "Prisoners of the Governess".

Still, this is a minor quibble. Tanya Simmonds is a great femdom author, with a fine eye for telling detail, and the book deserves to be read by every devotee of the genre.
