Best Fetish Erotica

Yet another steamy compilation from Cleis Press, this edition of Best Fetish Erotica takes it up a notch and puts more focus on the darker side of kink, with edgily sexy stories of knife play, cross-dressing, spanking, rubber, doll and food fetishes and the odd costumed animal perv at Disneyland.

The Not So Invisible Woman

Entertainment publicist Suzanna Portnoy is sexy, single and searching in the city. But don’t think that this is some London spin-off of Sex and the City. No one’s looking for Mr. Big, and not even for Mr. Right. There’s only one man on the menu: Mr. Right Now.

This may only be her second erotic memoir (a continuation of her sizzling sexual trysts in The Butcher, The Baker, The Candlestick Maker), but Suzanne is doing it again, and again…and again; strutting her stuff all over the internet’s underbelly for her next eager sex victim.

She somehow successfully manages to juggle a full-time job and single parenthood to two teenage sons, with a more than raging sexual appetite, that involves chat rooms, swingers’ clubs, naturist spas, doctor/patient role play, nipple play, kinky shopping sprees and all manner of boys and toys. It’s hard work being a part-time slut, but Portnoy is one of those few unabashedly cool and confident gals who manages to make it look quite glamorous. This is a light kinky read for those ladies out there looking for more from your average Chick Lit horde. Buy The Not So Invisible Woman online now.

Secret Magazine 33 and Fetish Photo Anthology 5

The latest issue of Secret magazine, number 33, has just arrived and I recommend it to you. For those who don’t know, Secret is produced in Brussels by Jürgen Boedt and it’s dedicated to the European fetish scene. Secret is in the English language and it’s entirely in black-and-white. So, for those who love monochrome fetish photography, this is what you need.

Issue 33 has stories, photography, informative features, features on fetish fashion, book reviews and an interesting feature on women turned into furniture by Jeff at HouseofGord.com. I loved this! There’s also rope bondage, cartoons and some lovely retro illustration by Bernard Montorgueil. If you have not seen Secret magazine, give it a try.

As well as Secret, Jürgen also publishes large hardcover fetish photography albums called Fetish Photo Anthology and issue 5 is out now. There are various offers on the website, allowing you to order a book and a magazine at an all-in price.

The Private Undoing of a Public Servant by Leonie Martel

I hadn’t read a new Black Lace title since the early 1990’s and if Leonie Martel’s latest offering in the imprint is representative of the current writing, I am pleased to be able to report that Black Lace is evolving in a most exciting way. The Private Undoing of a Public Servant delivers far more than either its cover promise – Erotic Fiction for Women by Women – or its genre – romance/adult fiction – would suggest. I know many men who would love it and it would make an excellent addition to the bookshelves of both the experienced dominant, as well as a how-to manual for those new to the concepts of domination and submission.
