Love Out Of Lust, Part One by Ray Sostre

Genre:
Consensual Heterosexual

Synopsis:
Daryl & Marisol had been best friends since childhood, and now live together as roommates.

The two never had this attraction for each other, until one night when Marisol, out of her moment of weakness admitted her darkest desires for Daryl, and the two persued it together. When their sexual desires are expressed, where will it take them from there?

My Review:
Given that Daryl and Marisol have known each other as family friends for so long, this erotica is just about the closest it gets to incest without it being incest... and I love the taboo!! This erotic short was just long enough to leave me aroused without making me feel cheated out of the story and the details. It is so common for me to see cliff hangers within the erotic genre that I've come to expect them. However, the cliff hanger in Love Out Of Lust fit seamlessly into the progression of the story and truly left me curious to know what happens next.

Author Interview:
What inspired you to become a writer?
It came to me, one day in 1990, when I served detention in junior high school. I wrote a short story about a crush in detention. Since then, I’ve been interested in screenwriting and story writing.

What made you want to write erotica?
Writing erotica happened to me by accident. I would never, in a million years, thought about writing erotica. But when I came across with some short stories that were porn-no-plot, I knew I had to get in the game and show that men can write erotic romance. And I like being in an industry where it’s dominated by women 4 to 1.

What is your favorite part of being an author?
As always, writing a story, expressing my idea on paper, and seeing that I’m always on a roll to finish the story.

How hard is it to write a book?
If you never written a story, you would think it was hard, but the truth is it’s not. Not for me I would say. My mind is constantly flowing and I’m always having the passion to write.

What is the hardest and easiest part about being an erotica writer?
Well, the easiest thing about being an erotic writer is very simple the sex scenes I can create to turn my readers on, or set the goal to turn my readers on, lol. The hardest part is to not to be repetitive with the sex scenes. I try to avoid the similarities of the scenes on different stories. I like keeping my scenes interesting and mouth-watering.

Is there a genre you could never write? Which and why?
Only one genre I could never, nor have the desire to write – BDSM. I have nothing against the genre. In fact, I read the genre and review a few of them myself. I wouldn’t write BDSM, because it’s not in my heart to write it. I have to write what defines me. My genres in writing are mostly m/f erotic, but I also like writing lesbian and ménage stories. And when I write erotic stories, I like adding scenes that are sweltering, with a touch of dark and sensual desires.

How did you bring life to your characters? 
When I write characters, I want my characters to be the opposite of what the rest normally trend; rich, cute, blonde hair, blue eyes, a skinny sex-goddess, and alpha-male type. I’m not that guy. In fact, I’m a guy who is no alpha-type. I would rather keep the lounge chair warm as I watch the alpha-type get dissed by my characters. 

When I write male characters, I want my male characters to be easy-going, but wise; intelligent. They’re not afraid to go down on a girl, lol, but these guys are male. They like their beer, booze, shooting pool, and going out to meet women. I like adding an odd situation with their lives. How they hook up with women, how they meet them, what made him sleep with her, why wasn’t he attracted to her, but he’ll sleep with her. I want to show my characters, rather than tell the story.

As for women, I like creating the bad-girl type, particularly because I’m attracted to bad girls, but the women I write about usually have either the bad-girl personality or drama-queen issues. I also want women to be emancipated or have some sort of secrets, whether it’s a desire or something to hide about herself. And I’m not so cliché like some who write the typical, like the girl wants to has a body of a model that likes to drink, party, and fuck all the time. My female characters have some demons, whether they have a dark desire, good/bad intentions, or a damn good secret.

Did you always know you wanted to be a writer?
My first passion was wanting to be a radio disc jockey when I was in my early twenties, but as time moved on, my passion changed one night in July 2010. In fact, there were other things that made me return into writing. 

I gave up writing in 1997 to follow another passion, but returned to it in August 2010. My father, six months before reminded me how I used to write screenplays when I was young, and how I gave it up. I discarded it, at first, but then I stumbled to an erotic story on a story submission site – Lush Stories, and read the dialogue that made me think it was porn-no-plot. The story was great in the beginning, but the phrase told me otherwise it was garbage, and that was when I decided to write. I wanted to prove that a man, as an erotic writer, can write without being so derogatory to the women. Since then, I’ve always followed that method.

What makes your book so different from all the books out there?
I’ve read some erotic stories that add way too much fluff and fillers, before putting out the sex scene. If your intention is to write erotic stories or erotic romance, skip through the bullshit of fluffs and fillers; turn your readers on, don’t bore them. This is one huge philosophy I keep when I write erotic stories. I want my stories to have a plot – a purpose, but I’m not going to beat around the bush, since my intent for the story is to be erotic. I’ve read some that were written well, but boring. I don’t want to be like those authors; it’s not me.

While I’ve read stories that were too cliché, like chocolate covered strawberries, champagne, and whips and chains, I want all my characters to be the opposite. My story Love Out Of Lust is more on the grittier side of erotic romance. There’s love, but the two have issues – past demons. I want people to relate with the issues, while giving them a fantasy to escape to.

Do you have any advice for aspiring writers?
Don’t be afraid to be different. Be yourself, and don’t ever give up what you’re aspired to do. You never know what you can make of yourself. Life’s too short to be doubtful. Just remember that your talent to entertain is a gift; don’t squander it.

About Ray Sostre:
New York born, East Coast raised, and West Coast bound
Writing erotica happened by accident in the summer of 2010. That same year, he established a story submission site – AfterDark Online, a place where people are free to publish erotic stories.

He lives in Nevada with his long-time girlfriend, is an avid listener of electronica, and enjoys writing and publishing articles. He jokes: “I’m always looking for writing material.”

The Claiming of Rouge in the Deep Woods by Bella Swann


Due to my big announcement on Friday, I didn't post any reviews last week. To make up for it, this week I'm going to post two reviews! And so, let's welcome Bella Swan, author of The Claiming of Rouge in the Deep Woods!

Genre:
Paranormal BDSM

Synopsis:
Very erotic interpretation of the classic fairy tale of Little Red Riding Hood. Watch a grown-up Rouge go for a stroll in the deep, dark woods and encounter a very horny male pixie, wolf, and huntsman.

Excerpt: 
Chapter 1

The steam from the hot shower circled around the bathroom and slowly rose to the top of the ceiling as Rouge pulled back the shower door and stepped out of the shower flushed pink from the heat and dripping wet. She grabbed her rose scented body oil and started pouring the oil into her hands. Slowly, she began to run her oil covered hands over her arms and then began to caress her 40DDD tits in slow circles as she moved closer to her large red nipples. With a wicked little moan, she tweaked her nipples hard and stared at her huge, firm tits in the mirror. She could still see the deep teeth marks from the night before left by the ultra-rich CEO she was currently banging but only if he spent enough money on her first, of course. Not that she was a whore. Nope, thought Rouge. She just didn’t see why she should let a man push his hard cock into her hot, sweet pussy unless she got more than a fuck out of it. After all, she was accustomed to a certain standard of living and if she had to use her tits and ass to pay for it, well, none of the rich men she ever fucked ever complained once they shoved their cocks into her mouth and came down her throat and deep into her always hungry pussy. 

With a little sigh of satisfaction, Rouge slowly massaged more oil over her tight abdomen and then down over her smooth-as-silk pussy. With a lithe twist and bounce of her tits, she turned around and began to rub oil up and down over her rounded, firm hips. 

As Rouge patted herself dry with a soft velour towel, she gave an extra hard, little rub between the lips of her pussy. Mmmm, she thought. Can’t wait for the next time Mr. Big Money Bags is free and can fill me up with his long, hard, cock. Too bad she always insisted he leave right after he fucked her. She just never saw the point of giving him the chance to get several fucks for the price of one. 

She pouted her full red lips. Damn. She could really use a good, hard fuck right now. Oh well. Until she saw him again and he had an expensive enough present for her, it was time to get dressed and get her day started. 

What to wear. Perhaps as little as possible as she did so enjoy showing her tits and ass off to those pixies in the deep woods, teasing them with what she would never, ever give them. Her green eyes flashed contemptuously. Filthy pixies to even think that someone as beautiful and high class as she was, would ever even look at dirty pixie scum much less fuck one. Oh no, they were truly beneath her.

Rouge walked over to her closet and peered inside as her deep green eyes narrowed in concentration. Perhaps she should wear that little V-neck top and short, little skirt that hugged her ass. She could wear her long, flowing red hair tied up with silk ribbons and then wear her little red beret on top. After all, she didn’t want to wear too many layers of clothing in the heat of the day even if she was going in the deep, deep woods.

Rouge stretched her arms above her head as she tugged at her skin-tight top which clung obscenely to her huge tits. She groaned slightly as the red silken top caught and pulled on her still-erect, tenderized red nipples as she pulled the top down over her large, firm tits and then tied the ends under her tits in a pretty red bow. The liquid flood between her legs caused her to sigh as she slowly pulled her red silk panties up and slowly arranged the strip around her sore pussy. She couldn’t believe that she was still so wet after the night she had just had.

“Damn that CEO,” Rouge said absentmindedly as she slowly rubbed her sore nipples. “He always plays too rough with those teeth of his.” She smiled wickedly as she pulled her short, little red skirt up her long, sun tanned legs. She took a quick glance in the mirror. Perfect. The skirt barely covers my ass and when I bend over, I can tease any of those damn pixies I might meet with a quick flash of my panty covered ass. Let them salivate over an ass they are far too poor and filthy ever to have. 

Now all I need are my leather gladiator sandals and I’m off to pick raspberries in the woods. Rouge sat down in front of the mirrored front doors of her foyer and slowly laced up one sandal and then the other, shivering at the feel of the hard leather tightening against her soft, rose scented skin all the way up her lower legs. “Mmmmmm…..I do enjoy being bound up by leather. It hurts but in a way that only turns me on even more.” 

Leaning back against the velvet chair, she slowly opened her legs. Holding up her skirt with her left hand, she reached her right hand under her already damp panties and began to rub herself. Faster and faster she rubbed her pussy, her hand wet from the flood of juice she was producing. But it wasn’t enough. She sank back deeper into the purple velvet chair and slung her legs over the arms of the chair. Her chest nearly heaving out of her low cut top, she began panting as she started to get close to coming. With a little scream of almost-pain, she shoved her fingers deep into her pussy and started to jerk them in and out of her pussy, faster and faster. She started to rock the chair back and forth, faster and faster to the beat of her fingers that were fucking her pussy. Finally, with a scream, Rouge came and pussy juice flooded out of her and wet the chair beneath her. Slowly, Rouge brought up her right hand to her mouth and began to lick her fingers and then her whole hand as she sucked off her own juices.

She stood up and looked at her completely soaked panties and sighed. I didn’t even make it out of the house before I came. Damn. I hate always having loads of panties to wash every week because I just can’t keep from coming and coming and coming. With a sexy little wiggle of her hips, Rouge slowly pulled her panties down her legs and over her leather covered calves and feet. She crumpled up her panties and roughly rubbed them between her legs sopping up her pussy juices as best she could. Then she threw her panties in the chair as she gave herself a quick inspection in the mirrored front doors. With her skirt raised, she looked at her pink and glowing pussy and smiled. Nothing like a little rub to get the juices flowing. Maybe since I’m just going into the woods to pick raspberries, I probably don’t really need to wear panties today anyway.

She laughed. Who am I kidding? If I go outside without panties, then all it will take is a warm breeze tickling me under my skirt and next thing, I’ll be gushing pussy juice again. Rouge picked up her crumpled panties from the chair and walked with them back to her bedroom. With a lingering sniff at her own scented, drenched panties, Rouge threw them into her wicker basket hamper and walked over to her dresser. She reached down and pulled out a pair of tight, black panties that she pulled over her hips. The panties were so tight that they pulled into her pussy and outlined her curvy ass as if she was naked.

“Perfect,” said Rouge as she looked at herself in her bedroom mirror. “I love having my pussy and clit being slowly squeezed by these panties all day. It will be just like getting rubbed and slowly fucked all day long.”

With a quick caress of her rounded ass, she smiled and then reluctantly let her skirt fall down back over her hot little ass as she walked out of the room and towards her front door.

Rouge bent down to pick up her empty basket as her mouth began to water at the thought of those firm, warm berries she would soon be sucking on. The thought of swallowing all those warm, sweet juices made her move just a bit faster as she turned to leave. She held the straw handle of her basket firmly in her hand as she turned to close the door of her house behind her.

“Ooops, better make sure that I lock the door too,” said Rouge. “I don’t want to come back home after a long day of berry picking to find out that the Big Bad Wolf has snuck in with plans to eat me up.” With a sexy little smirk, she locked the door. She then rearranged her red beret at a more jaunty angle, smoothed down her skirt, and pulled down the V-neck of her top so that her firm tits almost but not quite broke free of the confines of the tight fabric.

“Perfect,” said Rouge. “Time to go deep, deep into the woods, where the darkness swallows light but the berries are the biggest and the ripest that anyone has ever seen.”

My Review:
What an exciting "adaptation" of the Little Red Riding Hood story! Red's name is modified to the more sultry Rouge, and we join her on a quest through the dark, dirty woods. And, my how dirty those woods turn out to be! Rouge is very determined to complete her journey, despite a pixie giving her a thorough preview of what to expect with a heavy warning. Rouge's trip through the woods provided Bella with the opportunity to include many different paranormal creatures in her story - an opportunity which clearly Bella seized and fully explored. This is one of the few paranormal erotic stories I've read that features more than one creature, which makes The Claiming of Rouge in the Deep Woods stand out in this genre. Add to all this the taboo of turning a children's story completely raunchy, and Bella has written a story of great intrigue.

Author Interview:
What made you want to write erotica?
I have always had intense and cinematic sexual fantasies and enjoyed writing them down for the pleasure of special friends. After receiving a lot of one-on-one positive feedback for my stories, I decided to send them out into the wider world and become an indie erotica writer.

Do you ever experience writer's block?
Yes, of course. There are times that my characters simply will not act the way that I want them to act and I can't write a scene. It is very frustrating. When that happens, I often take a long, hot shower and run through the scene in my mind. I find the hot water relaxes me and my subconscious starts to percolate with new ideas. I had writer's block while writing ""The Claiming of Rapunzel in Xanadu"" and I realized that I needed to go back and re-write the character of Rapunzel to make her a little more willful in order for later scenes where she runs away more believable. Once I had rewritten the character, everything flowed beautifully for the rest of the novella.

Do you write under a pen name?
Yes. I am not ashamed of writing erotica but given where I live and where I work, I would rather not have to deal with the reactions of people if they knew who I was. I think that I might eventually come out from under my pen name but that won't be for a very long time - perhaps when I can make a living full-time as a writer.

Do you work with an outline or just write?
I do work with an outline that details the major sexual escapades my main character will encounter as she works her way through an unfamiliar environment and finds herself at the mercy of the wicked BDSM world around her. I sometimes joke that my erotica is a modified template of Lord of the Rings only instead of having characters journey through several kingdoms and undergo regular adventures, my characters journey through several places and undergo sexual adventures. 

Favorite quote from my book:
“Life was indeed good for a Wolf-Creature in the deep woods who had found his very own little red-headed chew toy.”

What was your favorite chapter (or part) to write and why?
It was definitely Rouge's encounter with the Huntsman. He was such an alpha male who simply saw what he wanted - Rouge - and took her while she slept. He then took her as his own possession and toy and used her for his pleasure while giving her incredible pleasure mixed with pain. Deep down, Rouge wanted to stay with him but she knew that she would always be his possession and plaything if she did so she had to run away to save herself from being his completely. I think I will write a sequel one day in which Rouge encounters the Huntsman again and is further mastered by him.

What is the hardest and easiest part about being a writer?
The hardest part is wanting to talk about what you are writing with other people and not being able to because they do not know you write erotica. I sometimes bounce story ideas off a few friends who do know of my secret identity and find their feedback quite valuable in crafting my stories or figuring out the motivations of my characters in certain scenes. The easiest part about being a writer is imagining scenes and bringing them to life when everything is falling together and it's like you're on fire. Those are moments of pure creative excitement and an incredible rush. I never want to stop writing in moments like those and feel like my body is resonating like a musical instrument that the Muses are playing.

Where do you get your ideas/inspirations for your writing?
I get ideas from everywhere and everything. Sometimes, I will dream a very vivid scene deep in my subconscious and wake-up knowing that I have an adventure in mind for one of my characters. Sometimes, I will be watching a movie and suddenly think of how exciting it would be to re-imagine a scene from the movie in an erotic way. Sometimes, I will read a book and it will give me ideas of new ways of re-imagining the world and then I will try to turn these images into an erotic story. I think that when you are inspired by the world around you, you will never lack for stories to tell.

Are you planning on writing another book?
I will have a new book coming out soon. It is called The Claiming of Angelica, the Supernatural Sleuth: Her Erotic Adventures in the Kaiju Kingdom. It is the third book in the series, The Sexual Misadventures of Angelica, the Surprisingly Submissive Supernatural Sleuth. In this book, Angelica travels to the Pacific Rim to search out rumours of strange sightings of mysterious monsters known as Kaiju in her quest to save the world from supernatural terrors. I hope that this book will be available to purchase by the beginning of July.

Anything you want to say to your readers.
Yes. Thank-you so much for supporting my work by spending your hard-earned money on my books. I am doing my best to create a quality product for your enjoyment. I am not interested in churning out stories that are all the same because that would be a disservice to both you as the reader and me as the writer. My goal is to create lots of varied and interesting storylines for you so that you are always surprised and titillated by the characters and their adventures. Please enjoy my erotic BDSM stories but practice safe sexual fantasies in the real world."

About the Author:
Bella Swann is a Canadian writer of erotica who writes creative and imaginative stories that transport her readers to fantastical times and places. She has written erotic interpretations of fairy tales, sexy tales of supernatural sleuths, super heroines in erotic bondage, and naughty angels who fall into sinful lust and that's just this year. Imagine what she'll be writing in the years to come.

Spotlight: Claimed by the Alpha Dolphins by Lyra Fawn

I want to give everyone a heads-up that on Friday I'm going to be making a big announcement. Stay tuned!! Until then, let's welcome Lyra Fawn!

Synopsis:
Two brawny surfers from a foreign realm hold a secret that only she will share...

Thrust into a web of intrigue, Mona finds herself at the center of a centuries old conflict between two rival pods of dolphin shifters known as the Dolphinae. Marked as a 'Descendant of Neptune', she first catches the eye of Lucan, a dark and handsome prince who admires her curves. But when his blond and regal companion, Dario, lays claim to her, the two suitors insist upon a duel of honor. However, a greater danger lurks beneath the sea, and Mona discovers she must reconcile the passion of the two alpha dolphins, or watch their entire race be destroyed.

'Bound to the Sea' is the introductory 18,000 word serial installment to the BBW paranormal romance, CLAIMED BY THE ALPHA DOLPHINS.

Explicit language and mature, uncensored love scenes are featured throughout. Periodic moments of romance, intimacy and lovemaking involve multiple partners actively participating in their human or supernatural forms. Discretion is advised as this novella is only for sophisticated readers over the age of 18."

Advance Praise: 
"Shining New Talent... I have to say kudos to the author for building such great scenes in the reader's head. I cant wait for the next installment." ~April R. Symes (Reviewer on Goodreads and Amazon)

Author Interview:
Can you describe your book in one sentence?
This book is an erotic, steamy adventure with two alpha dolphin shifters.

What makes your book so different from all the books out there?
Of course, the most obvious characteristics would be the dolphin shifters and the marine environment. The book is also definitely high adventure. The stakes are quite high for the characters.

For those who might consider reading your book, what would you tell them to expect?
For the entire series, I am focusing as much on world building as I am on the romance and erotica. I think readers are conditioned to expect more these days. I think of serials as a chance to create a mini-series with an epic plot very much like Shogun, Roots or Game of Thrones. And, of course, I love the freedom of writing in the erotica genre because it allows me to include as much sex as I like.

Do you work with an outline, or just write?
I have an outline for the entire series. Moreover, I also outline each book. It's essential if you want to have a cohesive plot. However, I don't outline the romantic moments or the sex scenes. I feel these have to be written from the heart.

What inspired you to become a writer?
I don't think I had a choice. Writing chooses you. Basically, I always have a story running around in my head. If I don't get those ideas out on paper, I start to feel a little crazy. Finally, I decided to publish a few of my stories to see if anyone else would enjoy them.

What is one book you wish you had written?
Gone with the Wind. Okay, it's not erotica, but the story has been imprinted on my brain since childhood: an epic, storyline with compelling, unforgettable characters.

Your thoughts on receiving book reviews - the good and the bad - 
Everybody, myself included, prefers good reviews. And luckily, it appears that my Claimed by the Alpha Dolphins series has already found a few fans. I don't worry about the bad reviews. Everybody has a right to his or her own opinion. And some of the greatest books are extremely divisive.

How do you market your work? What avenues have you found to work best for erotica?
I'm not much of a marketer, I'm afraid. I'm trying to connect with people who love the same things that I do. Perhaps that will pay off and maybe it won't. But I would prefer to spend my time communicating with fans and other people who love erotica.

Will you have a new book coming out soon? Can you tell us about it?
Sure. The next installment in the Claimed by the Alpha Dolphins series is due out any day now. I'm currently working on the final edits. It will be titled: Desired by the Deep.

You can find Claimed by the Alpha Dolphins at these locations:
Amazon   iTunes   Kobo  Goodreads

Vacation Arrest by Alice Dark


Last time we heard from Spanking101 as she plead her desire to read more lesbian anal erotica. Given her passion for this genre, I asked Spanking101 to recommend a book to me which encompasses her favorite lesbian anal scenes. I decided to read Vacation Arrest based on her recommendation, although Spanking101 loves most of Alice Dark's books. 


Genre: 
BDSM / Dubious Consent

Amazon Book Description: 
Join two women when take off on an all-expenses paid vacation across country, but wind up on the wrong side of the law when they speed through the small town of Springton, Alabama. Katherine and Lindsay soon find out that justice is erotically different in the South, and the women have a choice: six months in jail, or accept whatever punishment local law enforcement decides upon. Enjoy Katherine’s and Lindsay’s sexy romp through humiliation, anal play, caning, and submission, when male and female officers teach these women a lesson in obediance! The story is F/M/f/f and is definitely for Adults Only.

My Review:
What starts out as a couple of horny girls headed off on a road trip takes an interesting turn when a cop pulls them over for speeding. It is clear the police in these parts have a thirst for playing dirty and are not afraid to use their position of power to get exactly what they want. With this being said, Vacation Arrest has a few different taboos that add to its erotic recipe. Not only does it have questionably consensual sex scenes (which you all know I love), and anal sex complete with butt plugs, but it also has submission to authority. All I can say is there would probably be a lot more criminals if this was truly how law enforcement was handled. Alice does a great job with the progression within this novelette, leading her readers to an intense spanking and anal sex finale which will leave you wanting more.

Guest Post: Where is All the Lesbian Anal Sex in Erotica? by Spanking101

I would like to take a moment to welcome Female Spanker to this blog with an ORIGINAL guest post, first appearing here!!

Where is All the Lesbian Anal Sex in Erotica?

Christina, I wanted to first thank you for allowing me to be a guest spanker, I mean a guest speaker on your blog.

For those who know me on twitter, I am Female Spanker. My actual name is Lyndsey. For those who don't know me, I'm a lesbian female from the USA. Who is a switch. I enjoy being spanked, and I also love being the spanker. I love sharing photos of lesbians, spankings, and especially butts and holes. I am obsessed with the female butt. I have been ever since I was a young kid. Okay enough about me...

I love reading lesbian erotica. You will never catch me reading straight erotica. It just does not interest me one bit. Some authors really know how to write females falling in love with one another. When it gets down to the sensual and sexual part, it can get pretty damn good. Unfortunately, I believe most authors do not write enough about lesbian anal. Yes, I said it: lesbians having fun with their butts and their holes. Sometimes authors do write about lesbian anal sex. But, they write only about five minutes worth of reading. Then it's all over. Just as I start getting excited, I get devastated and frustrated when they leave out the butt part. I know back in the past it was extremely taboo to have any intercourse when it came to anal. That it was an "exit" only hole. However, I have never seen it as an "exit" only. It's one of the most sensual places on the female body. Women can "get-off" with only anal sex as intercourse.

Ask yourself a question: If you read in a novel a women was giving another women a rim-job (licking the hole and around the hole) wouldn't that turn you on? Seeing a female stick her tongue in another female's hole....is that a yes? Would you be like, Wow! That's hot!?

Or even better yet, licking whipped cream out of there?

What about fingers? Wouldn't you start getting excited if you read how one female stuck her hand in some lube, then grabbed the tube of lube and squirted on and in her butt. Then poked, prodded, pushed and pulled inside with her fingers? One finger then two, and so on?

What about toys? Ever heard of a butt-plug? Anal beads? Dildos? Strap-ons? Wouldn't it be hot reading about anal beads or a butt-plug going in? How about a women using her strap-on and going to town inside her girlfriend's butt?

If any of this appeals to you, why do we not have enough of this in lesbian erotica?

I would love to see lesbian anal sex become a broader genre in erotica, and I'm sure there's a significant audience for this kind of material.

Wild Wild Wives by NC Simmons

I would like to take a moment to welcome NC Simmons back to this blog! She first appeared when I hosted an author interview and reviewed The Chronicles of Staffordshire: Guardian Girl. On Wednesday I hosted a guest post by Ms. Simmons: Erotica & Religious Guilt. And, today Simmons is back for a review of the second book in her series, The Chronicles of Staffordshire: Wild Wild Wives!

Genre: 
Swinger/BDSM

Amazon Book Description:
(This is book 2 of 5 in "The Chronicles of Staffordshire" Series - REVISED EDITION - MAY 2014)

The Paulson Princesses finally have their man! Lena, Lenore, and Rory are now a happy little ménage à trois, making love here, there, and everywhere as the urge strikes. The threesome has forged a blissfully depraved little family and nothing will ever tear the three lovers apart or strain their eternal bond.

Except, perhaps, for the "M" words.

Mistress, Marriage, and Mommy.

It seems Rory doesn't know that his future wife has a cracked brain and Lena can't tell him about Lenore's little problem without betraying her sister's trust. The Guardian Girl has a few more top-secret dirty jobs to do before she can release Lenore to Sonia's protective care and the sexual tar pit of Staffordshire's dungeon.

Lena also knows she can't be a third wheel in Rory and Lenore's bed forever. Once they marry, the Master and Mistress will want to start a family. It's only a matter of time before Lena must find her own way in life and love. The Wild Child needs a Prince of her own to sweep her off her feet. She needs a big, cuddly, soft-spoken Prince with a gift for the perfect cup of coffee and a HUGE crush on "The most beautiful tennis player in the world."

And as the estate prepares for the birth of the next generation of Paulson Sisters, a mysterious young woman will visit The Master and his Mistress and teach them the real meaning of the word, "Oneness."

The saga of Staffordshire continues. The estate's "Wild, Wild Wives" will continue their wicked, libido-exploding ways!

=====================================

"The Chronicles of Staffordshire" is a lifetime love story in five volumes. It contains graphic depictions of sexuality including m/f, f/f, and group sexual liaisons, as well as BDSM and frequent coarse language. FOR MATURE ADULTS ONLY.

Book 1 - "Guardian Girl"
Book 2 - "Wild, Wild Wives"
Book 3 - "Loaner Lovers"
Book 4 - "Drop Dead Daughters" (Coming August 2014)
Book 5 - "The Civilian" (Coming Fall 2014)

My Review:
I would venture into saying that Wild Wild Wives is not a piece of erotica because it's a story that's conveying more depth than the erotic genre is intended to portray. While there is a lot of adult scenes within this book, I would not have called most of them sexy, but rather intriguingWild Wild Wives explores the variety of ways love can grow and be portrayed. 

One stylistic touch that I enjoy with Simmons' writing style is how she describes her characters in her narration. This is representative in the nicknames the two superstar lovers give each other "Wild Child" and "Freaky Baby." But, Simmons applies this narration technique throughout her novels. It's a fun way to build depth and describe her characters.

Speaking of her characters, Simmons' does an excellent job of creating a vivid painting of them. I can practically hear their voices through in their mannerisms in their dialogue. Even though Lena and Lenore have striking similarities (that doesn't stop at their similar names), each of these girls stands independently on her own, the difference of which I can practically hear in their names.

If you're looking for a beautifully written, thought provoking Adult novel, this would be a good choice for you.

Guest Post: Erotica & Religious Guilt by NC Simmons

I want to welcome Simmons back to this blog! Last time I reviewed Guardian Girl and hosted an author interview. Today Simmons is back for a guest post! This article first appeared on Simmons' Blog Risque Reveries.

Erotica & Religious Guilt

You wouldn’t know it from reading my books, but I’m a Christian.

That’s right.  I released two books chock full of sexually explicit scenes, (with four even smuttier books on the way!), I blog at a site I call, “Risque Reveries,” and I still call myself a Christian.

I don’t profess to be a good Christian, just that I happen to be one.

Most rational people would say that authoring erotic fantasies and living a Christian life are in fundamental conflict.  That’s especially true when it comes to writing about BDSM, swinging, and other forms of adultery.  The Christian Bible is awash in passages that speak to the evils of lust, promiscuity, and “unnatural relations.”  Christians are also encouraged not to cause others to “stumble,” which you could argue every single one of my fantasies does since they depict men and women living in open marriages, swapping, and getting intimate with people they barely know.

I should feel guilty about the debauched state of my mind.  I should stop and consider that the words in my books might make someone on the receiving end have an unholy erotic fantasy, doing their own strokin’ and pokin’ as they visualize fucking (and being fucked by) the characters in my works.

So why don’t I feel guilty?  Why do I continue writing erotica if I know it’s “wrong?”

Could it be that we are all born sexual creatures with the natural urge to copulate and populate?  After all, if you believe that “God” is the creator of all living things, it’s seems obvious that “God” designed us for sex.  However you describe the way the two sexes came to be a roiling stew of testosterone and estrogen, cock and pussy – evolution or divine design – our bodies are formed to experience the mind-scrambling beauty of orgasm over and over and over again.  God created us with complementary physiology, each equipped to fulfill the natural urges of a member (or members) of the opposite sex.  That urge is not limited to heterosexual partners, either.  As a bi-sexual woman I have equal cravings for pricks and pockets.  Whether by an accident of in-utero programming or as an expression of an animal nature, I hunger for endless, sweat-soaked, shriek-inducing, cum-spurting fucks, whether given to me by men or women, though preferably by my hubby.

Sadly, that word makes most Christian’s cringe.  “Fuck.”  My faith-centered mind should feel horrible referring to the beauty of sex as getting “fucked.”  On it’s face that word lacks the tenderness of the phrase, “making love.”  Nevertheless, the sad truth is I do like to get fucked.  I especially like to get fucked hard!  When it comes to the pinnacle of sexual fulfillment, nothing gives me more joy than being on the receiving end of my husband’s penis when he fucks me to the point of a blackout.

I understand why “God” wants us to keep our minds pure.  For people who have a hard time differentiating fantasy from reality, it’s just one small step from a masturbatory fantasy to acting out that fantasy in a way that could destroy a relationship.  There are some who, by their very nature, are inclined to stray.  If such people read my books they might come away imagining I’ve somehow given them license to do so.  Notwithstanding the fact that my stories are filled with spouse swapping and stiffy stabbing, I’m obsessed with bringing every ounce of my passion and energy to spicing up my monogamous marriage with my long-suffering hubby.

There are those in my community of faith who will tell me that that my spiritual walk is weak.  They would argue that my commitment to godly sexual purity is frail.  It would be hard for me to argue with them.

All I know is that I find no guilt in letting my fantasy mind run free, especially if it feeds and fuels my intimacy with my forever lover, my husband.

Now if you’ll pardon me, I just imagined my husband doing me doggie style and I’m starting to feel really wet.  Now where did I put that vibe…?
