Excuse me if I rant a little here.
Why do so many, many women in BDSM world compelled to share
their sexual odyssey with the greater world? As part of my job as
Lady Cyrrh I search the web for interesting sites containing
fiction or advice, and time and time again I come upon these
pitiful, picayune little dungeons with descriptions like "Dedicated
to a lifestyle of submissive whispers...a glimpse into the soul of a
woman who endlessly searches the depths." "This site is dedicated
to my friends and family that I have met online and to my Loving
Master...it is an exploration of my magical dreams that continue
to grow in the world of BDSM" "Come and meet my Master and
myself and W/we grow T/together within the BDSM lifestyle."
The situation wouldn't be so bad if, first of all, all these sites were
operational or they contained something original. But instead I
keep hearing New Age moon-pie aromatherapy drivel, often
accompanied by "erotic poems," rosebuds and unicorns, snapshots
of flabby white butts strapped in leather, and the same old tired
insights. If you're going to throw up a BDSM webpage, at least say
something new.
Sometimes I think the Romance explosion of the 1980s had
metastatized into the soft-core "lite" BDSM explosion of the late
1990s. The language and the sentimentality are practically the
same.
The truth is, I don't give a fuck about your "alternative lifestyle"
or "loving master." I want some stories. There, I got it off my
chest.

The author's preface said this one was a work of fiction, but it was
written more like a description of an actual encounter. A man on
Viagra goes to Phoenix, where escort services are apparently
legal, and hires a woman for sex. They go to a motel and do it.
Afterwards he gives us a summary of the woman's attributes, as if
evaluating her for future encounters.
The writing here was casual, with no attempt to dress things up,
but the sex was interesting to read because it seemed so real.
However, the lengthy bit at the beginning detailing the search
for the escort agency and the choosing of the girl was dull and
better left out.

This story starts out in B-movie style: a bunch of amazons have
captured a manly-man adventurer and his two female sidekicks.
They plan to burn them at the stake. But somehow the adventurer
isn't concerned: he flirts outrageously with one of the amazons
and the two share an encounter when he later escapes, and
there's a cute trick ending I never saw coming in which all the
loose ends are bound up.
Short, sweet, and very enjoyable, from an author who should
write more.

Every one in a while it's fun to read a BDSM torture story the
same way it's fun to ride a vicious roller coaster: it gets the blood
going and provides visceral thrills that you can't get anywhere
else. The two authors above provide those thrills using the time-
honored scenarios of the BDSM world: a helpless victim,
punishment, ceremony, body piercing, chains. Unlike stories
written by authors such as Parker, where you get really involved
in the victim's misery and humiliation, these tales were clinical,
concentrating instead on the acts and the gear, which was where
the main creative thrust was. Which is how it should be, frankly,
for a good BDSM torture story: the victim doesn't matter, only the
various kinky things that happen to them. They're sort of like
one of those cheesy horror films of the 1980s where horny
teenagers die in incredibly horrific ways and no one gets upset at
it because it's so fake.
Thundershark seems to be specializing in these stories. I wasn't
impressed by his or her first effort, "Violet," which had a
teenager somehow concealing a fully-equipped dungeon in the
basement of her foster-father's house; the setup was more than a
little ridiculous. But the author seems to have learned and grown,
and in "Casino" he or she takes care to set up a plausible
background for all the mayhem that occurs. Gina, Monica and
Cindy (all attractive young females in their early 20s which is de
rigeur for these stories) go to a new casino that has a novel way
of upping the gambling stakes: winners at the tables get to
dominate the losers, who are shaved, pierced, and turned into sex
toys, and each act they endure erases part of their debt. Gina is
the big winner and soon comes to enjoy domineering her former
friends, even making them drink her piss through a funnel. Will
she keep winning? Or will she lose, and suffer the fate of her
friends? This type of story is not for everyone, but the saving
grace is the characters were so flat it was hard to think of them
as anything but cardboard, which made the read a good way to get
thrills without feeling too guilty for it.
"Sarcophagus" tried for pretty much the same effect, and went
"Lori's London Vacation" one better by having the bondage
devices permanently embedded in the victim's body. In this case
the young woman is falsely arrested in a foreign country where
they are very fond of bondage, so in the rest of the story she's
chained in creative ways and has metal rings, bars, hooks, and
eyelets surgically installed in her erogenous zones, and she is
later put in machines to stimulate/torture all those bits,
culminating in a coffin-like device where she's brainwashed to
be the perfect sex slave. Though who'd want a bald sex slave with
all that metal sticking out of her I have no idea. (She even has a
two-inch wide metal doughnut permanently fastened inside her
cunt.)
The detail in the story made it interesting, but it ultimately failed
in that it also made it boring, with the victim being a mere cupie
doll who said things like "Oooohhh!! Uuunnnhhh!!!" every time
something awful happened to her. Not only that but the tone of
the piece was curiously Victorian and rather courtly, as if
unwilling to offend: "No movement was reflected on the outer
casing, despite her tensing muscles; yet the pulsating, vibrating
shocks continued to course through her captive femininity in
ever-intensifying cycles of sensation." And the ending petered
out limply, with no payoff for all that torture.
Read this if you like descriptions of surgical procedures and
bondo gear, but if you don't, pass.

Like the two above this story dealt with torture, but this time it's
in a historical rather than a BDSM setting--the Aztec Empire at
the time of the Spanish conquest. Prince Moctezuma (more
commonly known as Montezuma) of the Aztecs has been granted
permission by his father to pick out some slaves for his personal
use. As this is a gay story they're all male, and soon they're all
living an idyllic existence of sucking and fucking. But a Spanish
general invades the city and ruins all this when he rapes and
humiliates the prince and his charges. The Aztecs rally, though,
and soon the general and all his men are captured and pretty
much treated the same way.
The events in this story were shocking, but no less so than what
actually happened in that time and place. Though meant as a
form of titillation the whole thing came out educational in a way,
the lens of history--and the author's oral tradition storytelling
voice--adding a distancing factor.

There are all sorts of fetish stories available on the ASS
newsgroups: rubber, shoe, enema, etc. Then there are fetishes
that don't realize they're fetishes. Among them is a type I'll call
Snotty but Naive Female Teen, of which this story is an example.
SbNFTs always have girly-girl names like Cynthia or Tiffany,
perfect bods, long blonde hair, rich parents, and are overdue for
a sexual awakening. This is where the fun comes in, and it's
invariably at their expense as they are roundly taken advantage
of, manipulated, blackmailed, raped, hypnotized, or turned into
sex slaves. Sometimes it's humorous and tongue-in-cheek,
sometimes not. It's almost as if the authors are taking revenge on
the pretty young thing that tempts their libidos while being
simultaneously bedazzled by them.
This story, happily, was one of the humorous ones. Unbelievably
rich yet unbelievably callow 18-year-old Cynthia enters an
exclusive boutique hoping to find a dress for a party, but instead
the unscrupulous shopkeepers strip her, ply her with
champagne, and ogle her on the pretense of having a fitting.
Later they invite her for a swim, giving her a dental-floss
bathing suit:
It consisted of a series of dark red elastic straps
and very small patches of fabric which covered her body
in thin vertical strips. The very narrow crotch strap
expanded into a small triangle of fabric which barely
covered her pubic area and, thanks to the narrow thong in
back, her firm buttocks were completely exposed. Each
breast was only covered in the center by a vertical one-
inch strap. The elastic material of the crotch band
running underneath the suit was very tight, putting a
constant pressure on her strangely sensitive pubic area.
In fact, the whole suit seemed to the dazed teenager to
be about two sizes too small. The only thing holding it
all together was the unusual way the straps were all tied
behind her neck.
She noted vaguely that the suit had a surprising
affect on her. It made her feel very sexy!
But during the car ride she's assaulted by a vibrating seat with a
dildo, spanked for staining her swimsuit crotch when she gets to
the house, rubbed with aphrodisiac tanning oil, has lesbian sex
with the two store matrons, and is forced into slavehood. And this
is just the first half.
As a story this was completely unbelievable, but the silly humor
it takes in its stereotypes redeems it. It is a long one though, so if
you don't enjoy stories about rich teenage girls in need of a
lesson you may not have patience for it.
