I think that humiliation tends to not be my cuppa, and is sometimes hard to read. It does truly depend on how it’s written and whether it’s clear that the participants desire that scenario. And I prefer those that really reveal the emotional connection between the characters, where the physical’s reflecting their inner passions. Congrats on your latest, Christina!

I think that BDSM stories can be hot and still respectful of the characters. It should be about fantasy, submitting yourself to your lover, trusting them with your body or vice versa, depending on your role.
A good story can have all types of sex, vanilla or otherwise. If it’s a good story, told well and all the dots are connected, the kind of sex is not important.

Scenes with degradation and total humiliation don’t work for me. As far as consensual nonconsent I have to feel if its someone’s fantasy go for it. But that can get pretty scary, I think, along with electroplay. If its written well and balanced with the story and characters it can be quite erotic.

oh this book looks awesome. I dont like scenes with minors or complete and totally humiliation. All in all as long as everyone involved is enjoying themself then go for it. Would love to win the book. Thanks for the chance.

Can’t wait for this book to be released. Can’t go wrong with two stories in one book. As long as both parties are agree and are into it, I have no problem.

Humiliation is the only thing that doesn’t work for me.

Christina-

I have read Wicked Ties, and I loved it! I generally do not read books more than once, but I have read this at least twice. It is one of my all time favorites!

Kushiel’s Dart…I have never heard of this. But I am going to check it out for sure! Thanks!

Thanks, Aurora! I truly appreciate it.

Awesome, Stephanie, thanks. Yes, humiliation scenes can be a delicate balance. “Golden showers” don’t do a bit for me either. :shrugs:

Amy, that’s fascinating. Yes, I love edgier, harder-core stories too, when they push the right buttons. Have you read Wicked Ties by Shayla Black? A good erotic romantic suspense that achieves a graceful balance, imo. Kushiel’s Dart is another keeper if you like the fantasy genre. Just a really different take on kink.
