Fetish Sex by Violet Blue

http://amzn.to/s7Lq2L
non-fiction with selected short stories by Tom Roche
erotica: 4/5
information: 4/5

The book Fetish Sex by Ms. Violet Blue presents the subject in two parts: the first is a discussion about the psychological and social aspects of fetishes, the second part is a catalog of the popular sexual fetishes.

In the first part of the book Ms. Blue discusses how adjust to fetishes from the point of view of a couple, such as how to recognize a fetish in yourself or your  partner and how to integrate it into the relationship. Ms. Blue takes a sex-positive direction which can be summed up (briefly) as:  acknowledge it in yourself or in your partner and work it into the relationship.

The second part of the book is a description of popular fetishes that the reader can check for a match. If there is a fit, the reader learns how engage themselves or their partner into the fetish. Some fetishes are described only briefly, while others are presented with extensive detail.

Who is this book for? If you are in a stable relationship but are curious about how to spice up your sex life, or you discover that you or your partner has an interest in a fetish, this book may have useful advice and information. If your relationship is unstable, adding a fetish element to the sex may exacerbate the instability. The book provides useful references for obtaining additional information and help.

Ms. Blue's writing style is chatty and informal like her talks on sexuality. Although the book is not a scholarly treatment, there are many useful resources on fetish topics.  The  gay and lesbian Leather scene and Gothic fetishes are not covered in detail. Although the author seperates fetishes from BDSM, many fetishes (such as role-play) often involve BDSM activity. The book covers BDSM conventions only from a general perspective.

Fetish Sex introduces individuals and couples to the erotic rewards of sexual  fetishes. The direction of the book is positive and readers might find Blue's easy to read description of many popular fetishes interesting.


Reviewer received a free advance copy in exchange for the review. I received a draft copy with formatting problems which I communicated to the author.

Sudden Chemistry By Delilah Fawkes

http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/91694

erotica: 5/5
story: 3/5

Ms. Fawkes story is about  two college students,  Liz (a geek)  and Brad (a jock), who start their evening  by studying chemistry and end the night by practicing a sexual chemistry of "girl seducing boy". The story is about what Liz does to overpower Brad. She tops him in a light session of bondage and butt sex.

The setting  is typical of "date rape" stories. Well written  fast paced erotic action with an unexpected ending.

"Sudden Chemistry" is a rewarding read for those who like femdom erotica.

Confessions of a Sex Addict: 12 Steps Back - Rachel Boleyn

Erotica: 5/5
Story: 4/5
Boleyn's short story about Lila, a married woman who is also a sex addict, has an interesting setup: she attends a 12-step program. The first meeting goes along as one might expect: she tells her story and meets her possible sponsor, a recovering addict. The setup has great potential for a series of stories (or possibly chapters in a novel).

In the next scene, Lila meets a stranger in the parking lot. She takes a ride with him for an erotic encounter.

The story ends in a situation that might leave the reader puzzled. A reviewer on this story, Sir's kitten , said "There was so much in that one last sentence that... took it over the edge of smut and made it vibrate in my brain". The ending lead me to believe there might be more to come. 

Ms. Boleyn writes erotica with the right attention to detail with a pacing that is sure to get  readers sufficiently aroused.

Consuming Him by Amelia James

Consuming Him is a erotic tale of violence, passion, fear & longing with dark desires, blood lust & sexual slavery in a vampire tale with an unusual change of roles.

While the general mood of the story is Gothic, the author shows glimpses of redemption in lines such as: "Sunlight. Warm, gentle, hearts pounding. Kissing like young lovers stealing an innocent moment alone. Together."
