When I read in the genre, I almost ignore the physical aspects, paradoxical as that may seem. <br /><br />The language in "Laura" seems to emphasize the sense of being off balance that comes with BDSM. You never know what to expect - you never know what anything really means. It's a powerful mystery.Lisabet Saraihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05162514190572269660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-69860063190599374042013-10-15T16:31:38.723-04:002013-10-15T16:31:38.723-04:00for a D/s story to work for me, i need the motivat...for a D/s story to work for me, i need the motivations behind it. i need to know more about the characters.Amanda Earlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09059621442042833693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-65415043645478552332013-10-15T14:01:32.080-04:002013-10-15T14:01:32.080-04:00The beautiful writing turns me on more than the &q...The beautiful writing turns me on more than the "scene" itself, but I realize (sadly) that many, if not most, of the people who choose to read erotica are impatient with anything beyond explicit physicality. It gets more complicated with BDSM, though, where the inner perceptions of submission and dominance, pleasure and pain, shame and pride, are even more important than purely physical contact, so there may be more room for writing that tends toward the surreal.

It was written by someone who loves the sound of words as much as the sound of the whip.<br /><br />Garce<br />Garceushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11160407485298015371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-48186238275718076242013-10-14T10:50:46.907-04:002013-10-14T10:50:46.907-04:00Ha!

Previously, erotica was simply a masturbation tool, so I wanted to explore it's subtleties. Someone here recently said to be a good writer we need to be good readers as well. (Amanda?) For whatever reason, I didn't read "Laura". Will do so now after such a build-up. I suspect that when I bought it, it was along with several other books and that I didn't especially want to write in that Victorian style. I'd read "Man and a Maid", "Autobiography of a Flea", "Story of O" and many other Grove Press and their subsidiary Ophelia Press back in the days of amphetamine, sex and weed, wanking myself to blisters, never finishing anything.
