Download or read book No Safewords written by Laura Antoniou and published by Circlet Press. This book was released on 2013-02 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ten stories of BDSM, submission, and service set in the secret world of Laura Antoniou's Marketplace. The Marketplace has fans all over the world, and Antoniou invited them to come play in her fictional sandbox/dungeon. Numbered among those fans happen to be some of the top erotica and alternative sexuality writers in the world, including D.L. King, Sassafras Lowrey, and Elizabeth Schechter. The full slate of writers contributing to NO SAFEWORDS runs the gamut of award-winning authors to bright-eyed new voices, as creator Laura Antoniou explains in her introduction: "As the saying goes, 'blessed are those who embellish the tale.' So here is the Marketplace, as seen through other eyes. There are some stories that show the world exactly as I created it, and some that push my boundaries a tad. There is romance and strife, glee and despair. There is hot sex, of course, but there's also humor and melodrama. Just the way I like it. "There were some surprises for me! I was delighted to find several female dominant/male submissive stories, especially since my examples of those relationships tend to be supporting, rather than main characters. I was also pleased by the writers who weren't afraid to go a little dark; a collection of stories all about slaves misbehaving in mildly inconvenient ways and getting fantastically, erotically punished would have been tiresome. "So whether you want a rollicking Victorian flavored tale of adventure and romance or a modern, sexy welcome to a new home for a familiar character, you will find flavors here to tempt or satisfy your tastes. Return for more time travel to a world where the language we so casually use to describe our tastes doesn't even exist, but where longing for a ritualized order and discipline and a sense of belonging transcends words, and gets expressed in the rich metaphor-and reality-of a garden. "Then swerve away from romance to feel the terror of a slave newly sold to an owner who represents their worst nightmare, whether because of demographics or the enormous challenge of a language barrier. "Here, you can get into the reflection of a trainer's long career or the grief and anguish of a new owner confronted with an inherited house full of property she didn't choose. Or, watch how even the jaded, experienced ways of the Marketplace aware people become awkward in that most awkward of adult challenges-a marriage proposal. Get a glimpse into the rarefied and formal household of an owner/spotter, and then take a detour to the desolate history of a young genderqueer punk fresh from the streets, confronted with the most iconic of Marketplace characters. All of this-a synthesis of my imagination and theirs, fed by culture, fantasy, fairy tales and fears. All fiction is, in a way, fan fiction. I am sorry it took so long for me to see this and to open myself to the interesting sensations-you might call it edge-play-in giving people access to my favorite victims. But better late than never!"

Book excerpt: Rejected by his family when his sexuality is discovered and forced to living on the streets, Mason finds his safe haven at Tied Up, an exclusive gay BDSM club in Portland. Club owners Gavin and Noah offer him not only a job, but also the opportunity to understand more about himself and give a name to the rush of lust he feels every time a whipping demo takes place. Mason wants to be dominated and is more than willing to embrace his nature and be trained as a submissive. But not by any Dom. He needs a fierce Dom and Master Gavin is the one he wants. Gavin has instantly pegged the new hire as a natural submissive and, when shy Mason comes to him asking to become a sub, he gets himself into trouble. Even though he is a pro in discipline and self-control, he finds he can’t resist the lean, pale boy with the amazing green eyes, at the risk of betraying his own strict rules. Months after his former sub left him with no explanation, Noah is still a mess as a man and as a Dom. Fortunately, he can count on his best friend Gavin’s loving presence to heal his tattered heart. When sweet Mason, all magnetic eyes and blushing cheekbones, shows him he is worthy and gives him a taste of what having a new sub could be like, Noah finds out he is ready to be a Dom again. Will he beat his demons, and trust Gavin and Mason to find happiness as a threesome?

Download or read book Unsafe Words written by Shantel Gabrieal Buggs and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2023-02-10 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Queer people may not have invented sex, but queers have long been pioneers in imagining new ways to have it. Yet their voices have been largely absent from the #MeToo conversation. What can queer people learn from the #MeToo conversation? And what can queer communities teach the rest of the world about ethical sex? This provocative book brings together academics, activists, artists, and sex workers to tackle challenging questions about sex, power, consent, and harm. While responding to the need for sex to be consensual and mutually pleasurable, these chapter authors resist the heteronormative assumptions, class norms, and racial privilege underlying much #MeToo discourse. The essays reveal the tools that queer communities themselves have developed to practice ethical sex—from the sex worker negotiating with her client to the gay man having anonymous sex in the back room. At the same time, they explore how queer communities might better prevent and respond to sexual violence without recourse to a police force that is frequently racist, homophobic, and transphobic. Telling a queerer side of the #MeToo story, Unsafe Words dares to challenge dogmatic assumptions about sex and consent while developing tools and language to promote more ethical and more pleasurable sex for everyone.
