Why do so many, many women in BDSM world compelled to share their sexual odyssey with the greater world? As part of my job as Lady Cyrrh I search the web for interesting sites containing fiction or advice, and time and time again I come upon these pitiful, picayune little dungeons with descriptions like "Dedicated to a lifestyle of submissive whispers...a glimpse into the soul of a woman who endlessly searches the depths." "This site is dedicated to my friends and family that I have met online and to my Loving Master...it is an exploration of my magical dreams that continue to grow in the world of BDSM" "Come and meet my Master and myself and W/we grow T/together within the BDSM lifestyle." The situation wouldn't be so bad if, first of all, all these sites were operational or they contained something original. But instead I keep hearing New Age moon-pie aromatherapy drivel, often accompanied by "erotic poems," rosebuds and unicorns, snapshots of flabby white butts strapped in leather, and the same old tired insights. If you're going to throw up a BDSM webpage, at least say something new. Sometimes I think the Romance explosion of the 1980s had metastatized into the soft-core "lite" BDSM explosion of the late 1990s. The language and the sentimentality are practically the same. The truth is, I don't give a fuck about your "alternative lifestyle" or "loving master." I want some stories. There, I got it off my chest. By the way, The Official Ladycyrrh Website has received a feature write-up in the The Mining Co.'s erotica department. Check it out here: http://amateurerotica.miningco.com/mbody.htm The stories: Phoenix, AZ: Eden of the Playhouse, by Mr. Smithers (M/F sex with prostitute) Amazon Adventurer, by Vickie Morgan (M/F jungle adventure) The Sarcophagus, Parts 1 - 10, by JG Leathers Casino, Parts 1 - 5, by Thundershark (F/F, nc, BDSM, scat, watersprts, pierce) Moctezumas Revenge, by Anonymous (M/M+ rape, torture, historical) Bountiful Plantation, Parts 1 - 6, by lcdrjmc (FF/f, spoiled teen, spank, first) Phoenix, AZ: Eden of the Playhouse [B/B-] Where posted: ASP (alt.sex.prostitution), ASS When posted: 2/1/99 Author: Mr. Smither Address: mrsmither@juno.com The author's preface said this one was a work of fiction, but it was written more like a description of an actual encounter. A man on Viagra goes to Phoenix, where escort services are apparently legal, and hires a woman for sex. They go to a motel and do it. Afterwards he gives us a summary of the woman's attributes, as if evaluating her for future encounters. The writing here was casual, with no attempt to dress things up, but the sex was interesting to read because it seemed so real. However, the lengthy bit at the beginning detailing the search for the escort agency and the choosing of the girl was dull and better left out. Amazon Adventurer [A] Where posted: ASS, ASSM When posted: 1/30/99 Author: Vickie Morgan Address: artemis55@hotmail.com This story starts out in B-movie style: a bunch of amazons have captured a manly-man adventurer and his two female sidekicks. They plan to burn them at the stake. But somehow the adventurer isn't concerned: he flirts outrageously with one of the amazons and the two share an encounter when he later escapes, and there's a cute trick ending I never saw coming in which all the loose ends are bound up. Short, sweet, and very enjoyable, from an author who should write more. The Sarcophagus, Parts 1 - 10 [B+/B] Where posted: ASSB When posted: 2/3/99 Author: JG Leathers Posted by: Cirocco Jones Poster address: webslave@slavery.org Casino, Parts 1 - 5 [A] Where posted: ASS, ASSM When posted: 2/1/99 Author: Thundershark Address: thndrshark@aol.com Every one in a while it's fun to read a BDSM torture story the same way it's fun to ride a vicious roller coaster: it gets the blood going and provides visceral thrills that you can't get anywhere else. The two authors above provide those thrills using the time- honored scenarios of the BDSM world: a helpless victim, punishment, ceremony, body piercing, chains. Unlike stories written by authors such as Parker, where you get really involved in the victim's misery and humiliation, these tales were clinical, concentrating instead on the acts and the gear, which was where the main creative thrust was. Which is how it should be, frankly, for a good BDSM torture story: the victim doesn't matter, only the various kinky things that happen to them. They're sort of like one of those cheesy horror films of the 1980s where horny teenagers die in incredibly horrific ways and no one gets upset at it because it's so fake. Thundershark seems to be specializing in these stories. I wasn't impressed by his or her first effort, "Violet," which had a teenager somehow concealing a fully-equipped dungeon in the basement of her foster-father's house; the setup was more than a little ridiculous. But the author seems to have learned and grown, and in "Casino" he or she takes care to set up a plausible background for all the mayhem that occurs. Gina, Monica and Cindy (all attractive young females in their early 20s which is de rigeur for these stories) go to a new casino that has a novel way of upping the gambling stakes: winners at the tables get to dominate the losers, who are shaved, pierced, and turned into sex toys, and each act they endure erases part of their debt. Gina is the big winner and soon comes to enjoy domineering her former friends, even making them drink her piss through a funnel. Will she keep winning? Or will she lose, and suffer the fate of her friends? This type of story is not for everyone, but the saving grace is the characters were so flat it was hard to think of them as anything but cardboard, which made the read a good way to get thrills without feeling too guilty for it. "Sarcophagus" tried for pretty much the same effect, and went "Lori's London Vacation" one better by having the bondage devices permanently embedded in the victim's body. In this case the young woman is falsely arrested in a foreign country where they are very fond of bondage, so in the rest of the story she's chained in creative ways and has metal rings, bars, hooks, and eyelets surgically installed in her erogenous zones, and she is later put in machines to stimulate/torture all those bits, culminating in a coffin-like device where she's brainwashed to be the perfect sex slave. Though who'd want a bald sex slave with all that metal sticking out of her I have no idea. (She even has a two-inch wide metal doughnut permanently fastened inside her cunt.) The detail in the story made it interesting, but it ultimately failed in that it also made it boring, with the victim being a mere cupie doll who said things like "Oooohhh!! Uuunnnhhh!!!" every time something awful happened to her. Not only that but the tone of the piece was curiously Victorian and rather courtly, as if unwilling to offend: "No movement was reflected on the outer casing, despite her tensing muscles; yet the pulsating, vibrating shocks continued to course through her captive femininity in ever-intensifying cycles of sensation." And the ending petered out limply, with no payoff for all that torture. Read this if you like descriptions of surgical procedures and bondo gear, but if you don't, pass. Moctezumas Revenge [A-] Where posted: ASSGM When posted: 1/19/99 Author: Unknown Poster: ericmtymx@aol.com Poster address: ericmtymx@aol.com Like the two above this story dealt with torture, but this time it's in a historical rather than a BDSM setting--the Aztec Empire at the time of the Spanish conquest. Prince Moctezuma (more commonly known as Montezuma) of the Aztecs has been granted permission by his father to pick out some slaves for his personal use. As this is a gay story they're all male, and soon they're all living an idyllic existence of sucking and fucking. But a Spanish general invades the city and ruins all this when he rapes and humiliates the prince and his charges. The Aztecs rally, though, and soon the general and all his men are captured and pretty much treated the same way. The events in this story were shocking, but no less so than what actually happened in that time and place. Though meant as a form of titillation the whole thing came out educational in a way, the lens of history--and the author's oral tradition storytelling voice--adding a distancing factor. Bountiful Plantation, Parts 1 - 6 [A] Where posted: ASS, ASSM When posted: 1/1/99 Author: lcdrjmc Address: lcdrjmc@aol.com There are all sorts of fetish stories available on the ASS newsgroups: rubber, shoe, enema, etc. Then there are fetishes that don't realize they're fetishes. Among them is a type I'll call Snotty but Naive Female Teen, of which this story is an example. SbNFTs always have girly-girl names like Cynthia or Tiffany, perfect bods, long blonde hair, rich parents, and are overdue for a sexual awakening. This is where the fun comes in, and it's invariably at their expense as they are roundly taken advantage of, manipulated, blackmailed, raped, hypnotized, or turned into sex slaves. Sometimes it's humorous and tongue-in-cheek, sometimes not. It's almost as if the authors are taking revenge on the pretty young thing that tempts their libidos while being simultaneously bedazzled by them. This story, happily, was one of the humorous ones. Unbelievably rich yet unbelievably callow 18-year-old Cynthia enters an exclusive boutique hoping to find a dress for a party, but instead the unscrupulous shopkeepers strip her, ply her with champagne, and ogle her on the pretense of having a fitting. Later they invite her for a swim, giving her a dental-floss bathing suit: It consisted of a series of dark red elastic straps and very small patches of fabric which covered her body in thin vertical strips. The very narrow crotch strap expanded into a small triangle of fabric which barely covered her pubic area and, thanks to the narrow thong in back, her firm buttocks were completely exposed. Each breast was only covered in the center by a vertical one- inch strap. The elastic material of the crotch band running underneath the suit was very tight, putting a constant pressure on her strangely sensitive pubic area. In fact, the whole suit seemed to the dazed teenager to be about two sizes too small. The only thing holding it all together was the unusual way the straps were all tied behind her neck. She noted vaguely that the suit had a surprising affect on her. It made her feel very sexy! But during the car ride she's assaulted by a vibrating seat with a dildo, spanked for staining her swimsuit crotch when she gets to the house, rubbed with aphrodisiac tanning oil, has lesbian sex with the two store matrons, and is forced into slavehood. And this is just the first half. As a story this was completely unbelievable, but the silly humor it takes in its stereotypes redeems it. It is a long one though, so if you don't enjoy stories about rich teenage girls in need of a lesson you may not have patience for it.
