Liberated Me from my Guilt over Wanting to Hurt Women5
This is perhaps the best book I've ever read. For years I have had fantasies of torturing and abusing women. I used to feel guilty about this. But after reading this masterpiece, I now realize that women actually want to be tortured and abused, even if they cry and resist at first. It must be something inherent to the entire gender, I guess? Anyways, the good news is I no longer feel guilty. Thanks, Pauline Reage! You've changed my life.

Where deSade left off ...5
"O" takes us on a journey through the darkest parts of the female sexual beast: her hunger, her lust, and her desire to connect with her darker hidden self through the flesh of another.

From a woman's point of view "O" takes strides into the private spaces of a woman's mind, spaces even most modern women will not dare to go.

This story has an eerie depth to it. Filled with horrific torture, and yet, what is done to the body pales in comparison to what an obsessive love can do to the mind in this groundbreaking epic of erotic fiction. "O" is not simply a physical masochist, seeking pleasure in the pain her body feels, she is a submissive and an emotional masochist ... her desire for pain deeply embedded into her psyche, much like the main character in Masoch's Venus in Furs.

Love for "O" must be a torture all encompassing in its magnitude, and for that to be, one must surrender everything: mind, body, and soul.

A brilliant work.

Is it hot in here?5
Maybe not for everyone, but this is one incredible story. Anyone interested in dominance and submission must read this.
