"I'm not strange," Jerry Jeff Walker sang, "I'm just like you.  I like to do what normal people do.  I comb my face and shave my hair, And keep a live chicken in my underwear"Most writers of stroke books are noting like J erry Jeff. There's an astonishing sameness about porn that is downright depressing.  The defining characteristic is that it is prurient - a medical term that means that it causes itching. Can you imagine someone buying a cookbook of 1001 ways to make potato salad?  So much porn is offensive because it's fraudulent 0 it's better at pitting one to sleep than to keep one awake.I got this book eight months ago, and it's raken me this long to finish and review it because it is what Harlan Ellison described as "Dangerous Visions", not safe to consume in large quantities vat one sitting.She plays off [[ASIN:0345545346 Story of O: A Novel], for instance, one of the most intense tales of BDSM ever published, by having run across the diaries of her late parents. Mom.it seems, had discovered a highly worn paperback in the basement, although she had no prior indication the Dad was interested in condage, beatings, and humiliation.  Mama decides to have Dad take a week's vacation just before Valentine's Day, when she'll be his O.  With limits, of course. (In the original, O dies in the end.)  The experience is related through diaries transcriptions.  There's an interesting twist at the end, though.In another story, a wife sends her husband an e-mail saying she needs to be raped, really raped, not playacting, by her husband. And he has 24 hours ending noon tomorrow.  Afterwards, she says he was disappointing and he could have shown more aggression and imagination.  Time passes, and she sends him another email to work saying "INR", and he replies immediately, saying that THIS time, she won't be disappointed. Un. oh, she is scared. She sends another email saying she changed her mind; he replies that once the beast is loosed, there's no way to recall it.  Finds a motel to hide out in until the 24 hours has passed.  A knock at the door claims to be the motel manager, and a masked man enters, putting her through as much more harrowing experience. Now, she has a dilemma.  If she tells him how great he was, and it wasn't him, it will crush him.  If she keeps quiet, and it was him, he'll think he did something wrong.this is extremely hot.
