D/s

I ordered Chris Owen's gay book "Deviations: Submission". Why? Well, as you probably know, my WhiCo Big Bang story deals with D/s and it's mostly told from the sub's POV. The thing is, it's not about sex. Seriously. There's no sex in the story, like, at all. So, it deals with what it's like for a sub to give himself over to a dom. I did a lot of research for the story - for example, did you know that the safest zones for whipping are the buttocks or the upper back whereas with upper thighs you need to very careful and the lower back is out of question completely? - but I wanted to read a real, published, thoroughly researched but still plotty book and this one was recommended to me. My GR friends all love it. Hm...

Have you read the Psych fic In the Prison of His Days (http://xela-fic.livejournal.com/52925.html)? It's long, but I felt like I came out of reading it knowing a lot more about the subject of submission than I would have learned otherwise.

Awesome! Thank you for the rec, I didn't know about it. The subject itself, what drives people to become subs, is incredibly fascinating!
