The Allure of the BDSM lifestyle
Why are so many women becoming interested in the BDSM
culture? What is it that calls to their spirit?
I believe part of the attraction lies in the fact that a
BDSM relationship requires a level of trust you don’t normally find. To give
over your power over to someone else speaks to a depth of trust many of us have
not experienced but naturally long for.
Even more enticing is the total acceptance of one’s sexual
needs. In a culture of norms, it is easy to feel ashamed of desires considered
outside the mainstream. However, within a healthy Dominant/submissive
relationship everything is fair game and is open for exploration as long as
both parties consent. There are no judgments. In fact, sexual experimentation
is encouraged.
The D/s Roles
It is important to understand that the role of the Dominant
is almost teacher-like. His/her job is to guide the submissive and it requires
thought and a lot of work. A common misconception is that a submissive is a
weak individual. Actually, in a healthy D/s relationship the submissive is
strong in his/her own right, but has a burning desire to serve and grow under
the care and tutelage of a master. When two such people get together, it is a
beautiful dance. The dedicated teacher takes his/her student on a journey of
self-discovery in which both learn, connect and grow.
The BDSM Call
BDSM is the consensual exchange of power by two trusting
adults hungry to explore the limitless possibilities of sexual pleasure. When there is care and respect on both sides,
the ideal can become a reality.
I believe women everywhere are coming to realize that their
secret desires may not be so uncommon after all. As a result, they are heeding
the call to explore their sexuality in their own bedrooms. I for one celebrate this move in the right
direction.
*In my erotica series about Brie Bennett and the Submissive
Training Center, readers experience Brie’s training and learn as she learns.
The skilled Doms push her in areas she would be afraid to tread as she explores
her hidden desires/fears in a safe and encouraging environment.
Book #6 of the Brie Series
Brie is thrilled when the Submissive Training Center focuses
a whole week on bondage lessons. Little does the inexperienced sub know what's
in store. Brie explores areas she has been reluctant to tread and finally
discovers what has been holding her back. The call of the rope opens Brie up to
new avenues of pleasure.
This wickedly arousing novelette encompasses an entire week
of Brie's submissive training, including her third Auction Day with a talented
Kinbaku artist.
Brie longs to delve into the world of bondage and finally
gets her chance at the center. She personally encounters the "mighty"
male model, her trainer Master Coen, and later surrenders to another lesson
with Marquis Gray. In answering the call of the rope, Brie encounters new experiences
that leave her panting for more. But there is a hefty price to be paid when her
heart becomes torn between two masters.
What I Liked:
This book was a great addition to the Brie series. I loved the rope play and how Brie embraced the intricate world of bondage. It was a delight that I savored. Her surrender to her Doms in this book was beautiful and I had a hard time waiting for the next one.
What I Didn't:
It ended. *cried*
Overall:
The rope work and Brie's journey into bondage was epic. I am fascinated by decorative rope play and after reading this book, I hunger for more. Red has done it again. I am her devoted fan. Kinbaku and Shibari are very interesting and so very elegant. Brie also has a daunting choice-to choose between two masters. Oh the suspense! I love it!
5/5

club she is entranced by the D/s lifestyle. Brie continues to be tested and

Shockingly, a new trainer has entered the scene and a third Dom makes his move

Extended Description:

coaster of sexual delight for Brie and all who follow her escapades.
What I Liked:
This addition to the Brie series finds her in a public setting trying to learn how to respond to being in public as a sub. Wow. What a scene! I loved the addition of the new Dom and the Dom trainee. Very nice twist! This book will leave you reeling and panting for #8.
What I Didn't:
It ended.
Overall:
Loved it. MORE!!!! (Should I elaborate...) I love Brie for her adventurous spirit and her willingness to stand for what is right, even in the face of danger. Red Phoenix has crafted a series that has become one of my absolute favorites. If you enjoy BDSM novellas, then you simply must check out this amazing series.
5/5
I totally agree. The whole Brie series is amazing. Who am I kidding...anything by Red is awesome .
ReplyDeleteIf you haven't tried this series you are missing out. You won't be able to stop at just one...and you will be begging for more!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely agree with Red Phoenix's depiction of women drawn to the BDSM lifestyle. There is a level of trust that is innate in this play, and for many, sadly it may never be realized. To have achieved this level of trust in any relationship where you do not have to feel ridiculed, embarassed or ashamed to ask for what you want is a dream to many. Once this level of trust is acualized, the pleasures for both the Dom/Mistress and the submissive can be heady. I am intoxicated with the Brie series and have broadened my horizions as a result. Thank you, Mistress Red, for your gift...
