“Please!”

“When my mind turns to consent, misogyny, how fucked up this fantasy is, I push those thoughts aside and remember how hot this makes me. We live in this society every day, breathing in misogyny and homophobia and gender policing with the very air. The least we can do is get off on it.”
- Gigi Frost, Housewife, in Say Please
Everyone! I reviewed Say Please: Lesbian BDSM Erotica! As part of that process, I interviewed Shawna Elizabeth, who wrote “Spoiled,” which was one of the stories I really enjoyed. She also happens to be the lady in charge of fuckyeahfemmes on Tumblr. I ended up having SO MANY FEELINGS about…
I have to tell you something. I have a bedside drawer full of smut. Well, you do too right? But this is not the sort of drawer where you stash a toy and some chapstick. This is a super size drawer. This is a file cabinet drawer. Literally. At some point along the way, a short, silver file cabinet…
Mr. Sexsmith is on fire, and we’re not just talking her titillating new Lesbian Bondage book Say Please. Blogs and readers are raving about her anthology across the internet. Here are just a handful of the several reviews the book has received thus far.
http://kellidunham.com/2012/04/saypleas/ ”You should buy, steal, borrow yourself a copy of Say Please. … 100 percent more sexy, populated with real characters.”http://theblackleatherbelt.com/review-say-please-lesbian-bdsm-erotica ”You know what I love best about this book? I love that it exists.… Every book is like a message in a bottle, and we cannot know upon which shores its message will wash up. Somewhere out there is a baby perv, who’s gonna find this book, and think, OMG THERE REALLY ARE PEOPLE LIKE ME AND SOMEONE THINKS WE ARE IMPORTANT ENOUGH TO PUT IN A BOOK! There are at least fifteen of them, because 23 of them wrote about it and then one of them put all the stuff between the covers of a book! And then they’ll sit there for a minute, and it’ll blow their minds when they realize, wait: there must be more than 23 of us plus me, because nobody would publish a book if only the people in it and some random nobody like me were interested. “http://sexpositiveblog.com/post/21208451591/say-please-virtual-blog-tour ”Reading this anthology is thrilling, and each story has different flavors to satisfy everyone.http://lulalisbon.wordpress.com/2012/04/17/92/ ”I dipped into Say Please: Lesbian BDSM Erotica almost as soon as I ripped open the paper shipping envelope…I finished the book on a bus trip, relishing the public debauchery of it…If I were a queen, I’d be beheaded for this. Say Please: Lesbian BDSM Erotica is a great look into contemporary erotica. The variety of themes and plots was interesting enough to not be repetitive, yet they flowed together beautifully.”http://madeofwords.com/2012/04/18/say-please-rocks-it-somethin-fierce/ ”My rating: 5 of 5 stars. BDSM is not always my thing. But good writing is, and this book is chock full of it. You might be wondering why I read it, if I’m not generally turned on by leather, or pain, or the wide-variety of things that BDSM is. To be honest, the first reason is that it was edited by Mr. Sinclair Sexsmith. They are like King Midas: everything they touch turns to gold.…So the moral of the story. Even if you’re ‘not into that,’ you should still pick up a copy of this book and read it.…So wake up your inner voyeur and take a peek into these character’s bed rooms. No matter what you’re into, you won’t regret it.http://ftmbutchdude.com/2012/04/19/say-please/ ”This book is delicious. There is no other word for it. …Every story… left me worked up, wound up, and aching for more.”Want a chance to put your word in?
