As someone who has only read the highest class of smut from far too early an age, say Anne Rice’s Sleeping Beauty series at age 12, I can highly recommend Best Bondage Erotica 2012 for both the kinky minded and vanilla alike.

 

The book is 226 pages of bondage from both sides of the male and female paradigm, which is markedly different than the normal male dominated, literally and fictionally, bondage novels.

 

Best Bondage Erotica is edited by Rachel Kramer Bussel with a forward by renowned bondage artist, Midori.

 

 

These stories made me hot, made me squirm, and reading the book had to be broken up over several days, as I had to take breaks.  Study breaks, if you will.

 

The story by Elizabeth Coldwell, called A Night at the Opera, where a woman dominates her lover during an opera performance, gives me chills and makes me think of Milan’s famous La Scala opera house, where I’d love for this to happen to me.

 

And Laced by Elizabeth Silver, which contains a male on male was so viscerally arousing, and yet so tender for a hard-edged story about sex and domination.

 

This anthology features 21 short stories, so the reading is very quick, like verbal porn, just enough to get you hot and get you off, but linger in your imagination.  And you know what they say; a dirty mind is a terrible thing to waste.

 

Thanks to Cleis Press for providing this book in exchange for a fair review!
