Strict Women
Author: Annabelle Watson
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 260
Book Description
In this collection of provocative confessions, both women and men speak of how they came to discover what really gets them going when it comes to a dominating woman taking charge with a strict hand. It is a raw and sometimes extreme look at how the power dynamic between a woman and a man can play out in an infinite number of ways both sexually and in their overall relationship. The act of a woman physically disciplining a man is at the heart of each narrative, but the way in which this evolves in each instance is very broad and much more complicated than the simple motion of a female's hand striking a man's body. The obsession with spanking and being spanked runs throughout most of the personal revelations, but they go far beyond that to deeper needs, to traumatic early-life experiences and to broader visions of living a life in a matriarchal society. Spanking is tied up in so many emotional, psychological and physical dimensions that it is impossible to distill the whole world of getting a good hard whipping into simple depictions. Yet, it is possible to take the broad array of men and women who have either gotten disciplined or have done the disciplining in a strikingly memorable way and let them speak for themselves. The stories collected here are chosen from a vast array of confessions due to their unique qualities. There were many similar stories I came upon but the ones printed here really stuck in my mind as being especially exemplary of women with deep desires to spank and men with endless urges to be spanked due to unusually powerful events or people in their lives. The characters run the gamut - fierce-willed wives, bossy bosses, Femdom-believing heads of households, strict stepmothers, spanking addicts, firmly disciplined males, corporal punishment proponents, humiliated cuckolds, strict black queens, power hungry girlfriends, naughty boys and philosophers of matriarchy.

Insatiable Wives
Author: David J. Ley
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield Publishers
ISBN: 9781442200319
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
"This enlightening work investigates the history, incidence, and causes of a unique sexual lifestyle pursued by increasing numbers of couples. The most common terms used to describe it are 'hotwife/cuckold lifestyle.' This sexual practice, a form of sexual nonmonogamy, is distinguished from swinging and polyamory in that the husband rarely seeks sexual contact outside the marriage except for participation in group sex with his wife and other men, while the wife is permitted, and often encouraged, to pursue unrestrained sexual encounters with other men. The author includes interviews and comments from couples living the lifestyle throughout the United States and presents the stories in an attempt to determine the history of this sexual practice and evolutionary underpinnings of this uncommon and socially taboo behavior in an effort to make it more comprehensible to those engaged in the lifestyle and those who are just curious." -- page 4 of cover.

How to Date Your Dragon
Author: Molly Harper
Publisher: NYLA
ISBN: 1641970480
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 234
Book Description
The first book in Molly Harper's uproariously funny, sinfully sexy new Mystic Bayou series! Anthropologist Jillian Ramsay's career has taken a turn south. Concerned that technology is about to chase mythological creatures out into the open (how long can Sasquatch stay hidden from Google maps?), the League for Interspecies Cooperation is sending Jillian to Louisiana on a fact-finding mission. While the League hopes to hold on to secrecy for a little bit longer, they're preparing for the worst in terms of human reactions. They need a plan, so they look to Mystic Bayou, a tiny town hidden in the swamp where humans and supernatural residents have been living in harmony for generations. Mermaids and gator shifters swim in the bayou. Spirit bottles light the front porches after twilight. Dragons light the fires under crayfish pots. Jillian's first assignment for the League could be her last. Mystic Bayou is wary of outsiders, and she has difficulty getting locals to talk to her. And she can't get the gruff town sheriff, Bael Boone, off of her back or out of her mind. Bael is the finest male specimen she's seen in a long time, even though he might not be human. Soon their flirtation is hotter than a dragon's breath, which Bael just might turn out to be... This book is based on the Audible Original audiobook.

The Spell of the Sensuous
Author: David Abram
Publisher: Vintage
ISBN: 0307830551
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 344
Book Description
Winner of the International Lannan Literary Award for Nonfiction Animal tracks, word magic, the speech of stones, the power of letters, and the taste of the wind all figure prominently in this intellectual tour de force that returns us to our senses and to the sensuous terrain that sustains us. This major work of ecological philosophy startles the senses out of habitual ways of perception. For a thousand generations, human beings viewed themselves as part of the wider community of nature, and they carried on active relationships not only with other people with other animals, plants, and natural objects (including mountains, rivers, winds, and weather patters) that we have only lately come to think of as "inanimate." How, then, did humans come to sever their ancient reciprocity with the natural world? What will it take for us to recover a sustaining relation with the breathing earth? In The Spell of the Sensuous David Abram draws on sources as diverse as the philosophy of Merleau-Ponty, Balinese shamanism, Apache storytelling, and his own experience as an accomplished sleight-of-hand of magician to reveal the subtle dependence of human cognition on the natural environment. He explores the character of perception and excavates the sensual foundations of language, which--even at its most abstract--echoes the calls and cries of the earth. On every page of this lyrical work, Abram weaves his arguments with a passion, a precision, and an intellectual daring that recall such writers as Loren Eisleley, Annie Dillard, and Barry Lopez.
