Seeking Recommendations for BDSM Fiction

It really depends what you are after. Do you mean BDSM or traditional spanking stories.

The best ever spanking stories were by Martin Pyx published by Blue Moon - for strong situational FF and MF spanking

Nattie Jones - good for MF spanking

My favorite x/f novel, bar none, is "The Discipline of Odette". Its credited to "Paul Little" but this "Paul Little" was an all purpose pseudonym for porn publishers. Its (apparently) the English translation of a French original of 1930 "Matee par le Fouet" ("mastered by the whip).

Its very literary but very edgy domestic discipline. Its somewhat the X/f equivalent of the F/M "Harriet Marwood" . . . same time period, same literary quality.

Hard to find, but worth paying up for-- very unusual.

Paul Little was his real name, but he wrote as A de Granamour, Jack Warren, Ken Harding and others. He was a pro pulp fiction writer who also wrote mysteries and westerns among other things.

Didn't know that about "Paul Little" -- but the name seems also to have been used generically as a kind of brand for erotica, as on this occasion. I can't speak beyond "The Discipline of Odette", but this is clearly a work originally in French, dating to 1930 . . .when it was credited to a "Jean Martinet" (which is clearly a pseudonym)

Among other names he wrote a series of Civil War romances following characters associated with Windhaven, a cotton plantation, under the name Marie de Jourlet. Interestingly, most of the spankings in the series were given to white characters.

I discovered the series while looking for spankings in mainstream literature, and once mentioned to Little that there were some good ones in the series. He surprised me by telling me he had written them.

I discovered the vast world of spanking erotica only roughly five years ago. Despite the fact that I am now all of 56 years old. The Internet made it possible. I am so grateful for the fact that the idea occurred to me one fateful Saturday in the spring of 2005 to do a search on the term "spanking" in order to just "see what comes up"!

Well, during these five years, I have seen many references to that erotic novel "Frank and I". Some spankos have praised that novel highly. Others have said that it was mediocre. I have been trying to find it for several years at places on the net such as Amazon. But without luck.

Fortunately, I discovered just a few weeks ago that Blushing Books has decided to begin publishing a series of "spanklit classics". And the very first title in that series is "Frank and I". I purchased "Frank and I" as soon as I found out. And downloaded a PDF file (no print version of the story was available at Blushing Books). Then I printed out the entire novel on my printer.

I have been reading roughly one chapter a day every morning (I am usually horny in the morning, immediately after I wake up) for a little more than a week now. Now I have read roughly half of the entire novel. My take is that "Frank and I" is an *excellent* work of spanklit. I love it!

"Frank and I" was also made into a movie. Yes, the spanking scene was included.

The spanking scene in Frank and I? Which one? The book was really one long spanking.

Thanks for all the recommendations, I'll definitely look out for Frank and I. I'm looking for BDSM fiction mainly as opposed to just "spanking", then again "spanking" can mean different things to different people, to me it means just that, mainly hand spanking and not use of implements (I like implements, LOL, lots of them). I did mention a few things in my initial post but basically I like all the initials, LOL, mainly M/f with a little F/f for variety and I am more interested in the "play" than I am in reading long (and often badly written) sex scenes with horrendous terms such as "love juice" and "rampant rod", LOL, I can't keep a straight face when I read stuff like that which kind of defeats the object of reading erotica in the first place.

I just read the first two books I wrote, Dominant by Felix Bishop (didn't realise it was written by a man or I probably wouldn't have bought it), not my cup of tea, let's just say it was obvious a man had written it and regardless of the icons on the cover it was mainly about domination, there were S/M in there but there was too much sapphic stuff in there for my taste (naturally with Cole involved all the way, every man's fantasy, yawn) which was not apparent from the description, I don't mind F/f BDSM but this seemed to be more an excuse for lurid sex scenes. Saying which, it did incorporate some useful information about safety, it was the story of Cole, a man who gradually indulges his desire for domination with a variety of women before finding "the one", it wasn't terrible but most of it didn't really sync with my personal tastes.

The second novel, Secrets of the Whipcord by Michaella Wallace, was better, but the backstory was not all that well written, it involves a so-called frigid woman who has no interest in sex at all until she buys the book of the same name, looking at the pictures and descriptions of S&M scenes (M/f in the main) arouses her (the book is sort of magic), there really is a Society of the Whipcord and her flatmate is a member, the book is stolen and they are worried the society will use it to entrap innocent women into the society as opposed to those who come to them of their own free will. The heroine joins to try and get the book back and the story is largely of her 5 initiation ordeals and what happens to her friend when she tries to steal the book back. There were erotic scenes in there but a lot of the initiation stuff was crowd scenes where she was the only submissive there, not really my taste, I'd like something about a more intimate one-on-one relationship in the main. As I said, the story was thin and the ending frankly unbelievable, just because its porn/erotica doesn't mean it shouldn't be well-written, take the stories on this site as an excellent example, there are many good writers posting on here (frankly a lot of them are far better than the two novels I have read so far).

I'm not too disappointed though as I only paid around £5 for both of the books via Amazon Marketplace secondhand, a precaution I'm glad I bothered with

I'll report on the two Josephine Scott books once I've red

Sadly, this is indeed the case that much of this is poorly written, amounts to the "throbbing boner" school of erotic writing, is a retread of Story of O, or is a variation of the master-in-his-castle-trains-subs-for-wealthy-clients plot. It's hard to find well written quality erotica that has a modicum of originality. I'd try two places though. One is olympiapress.com that has many old classics for $1 in ebook form. The other is chimerabooks.com a purveyor of BDSM lit. If you like "spanking romances" and some of these veer into BDSM territory, try allromance.com. They usually have several free books available. (I keep threatening to review the spanking romance genre in general, but based upon my research so far, I don't think I'd have that much good to say about it. You can find just as good or better here at LSF. And it's free.)
