I always preferred non-fiction to fiction, but after giving this some thought, after being disappointed by the 'classics' (Story of O, the Pearl, The Sleeping Beauty trilogy, etc.) I found a collection of short stories by Pat Califia called "Macho Sluts". It was great! While definitely fictional, every story ......whether contemporary or futuristic, or even a little supernatural............all had the touch of realism I love. Califia was very active in the BDSM scene and was very experienced. The stories contained powerful BDSM/spanking elements, but each was first a solid story and then had these realistic elements featured within...just what I look for! |
