Friday’s Fantasy

 “Tell me your secret wish, your secret fantasy.” Sometimes going outside the norm and into a fantasy might be just what a couple needs to spice things up a bit. Some couples find acting out a story brings them closer together.

Some romantic fantasy tips:

*Share a story with your partner.  “Do you ever have a fantasy, sweet guy?” He will either say, “Are you kidding”?  Or “sure,” and that’s your cue.

*Think of two fantasies, one totally wild and the other quite mild.

*Share your fantasies.   “I’m thinking of a fantasy that involves being tied up in silk.”

*Touch his skin, and say, “Tell me your fantasy now.”  But, when you do this, be sure you are unbuttoning his shirt and slipping your hand inside to touch his bare skin.

*Whisper, kiss, and tell:  “Let me read you a few fantasies and tell me what you think.  But first you won’t mind if I snuggle against you passionately, will you?”   Sometimes, and don’t be shocked, it is moments such as these that your guy will tell you about a little fun fetish. And maybe he wanted something from you but you brushed him away. Here is how to help you both find pleasure in fantasy and fetish

 

Fetish Friday - A BDSM Virgin

This is a post previously featured on Romance Writers Behaving Badly.

I started wring a sweet romance about a one night stand between a lady cop and a lawyer but somewhere along the line the characters took over the story and sexed it up.  Bring out the leather and restraints... I was off to write about something I had no idea about.

So what did I do?

What any good author does... RESEARCH.  Here's where hubby had that Cheshire Cat grin. 

No, really... I poured over books (fiction & non-fiction), interviewed various Doms and subs then finally let my imagination go.

According to Wikipedia: "BDSM is a consensual lifestyle choice, or type of adult role-play between two or more individuals. The compound acronym, BDSM, is derived from the terms bondage and discipline (B&D), dominance and submission (D&S), and sadism and masochism (S&M). BDSM includes a wide spectrum of activities, forms of interpersonal relationships, and distinct subcultures."

I found the best help on the subject (other than personal interviews) was the online site Seekers.  This site states, "D/s is a lifestyle choice, Domination and submission, where people live their lives opting by nature to be either Dominant or submissive. In a relationship the one complements the other and is based on the gift of submission, and absolute trust."  I must say this insight was not only helpful with my work, but I also thought the owners handled the subject in a fundamental and kindly manner.

Writing Handcuffs & Silk became a whole new experience for me and opened a door I always thought was best kept closed.   Not only did I become a better writer because of my research but I've also developed a sincere respect for my friends who delve into this world. 

(And hubby is still smiling.)

Never be afraid to ask questions, the answers may amaze you. 

 

 

Fetish Friday - Handcuffs & Silk

She kissed him as she unlocked the cuffs holding his wrists to the headboard. “Roll over.”

Without a word, he did as she commanded. She’d retrieved his set of ankle cuffs and interlaced them through the cuffs at his wrists.

Hog-tied and at her mercy.

“Hunter.” Her breath caressed his ear as she whispered, “I’ve put the key to the cuffs in a glass of ice. Once the ice melts, you can set yourself free. If you free yourself within an hour, you can perform any sex act on me you wish. If you can’t break yourself free, I expect you to perform any sex act I wish. Until then, you are my prisoner and will do as I say.”
