The Big Book of Bondage Big Blog Tour Bus is stopping at my blog today - I am feeling full of love because the ever fabulous Donna George Storey wrote a lovely review of my story therein, Life Drawing, which you can find at Alison's house.
But that's enough about me - I wanted to say some words about Senseless. I'm bemused and amused by this little slice of frustration Stella Harris serves up for her poor audience. As readers we suffer along with brave Lana as she ventures unknowing into a threesome she never gets to be star player in.

And for all the lack of first person satisfaction, it's a short, burning story that leaves the reader as aroused and wondering as the main character is. I like how it tosses expectations back Lana's face as well as our own. I always wonder why more people don't get involved in threesomes as it just seems so indulgently, wonderfully...horny - and yet here that picture is messed with, the indulgence is half refused as the focus stays on the men and the heroine's impotent arousal. Somuch proxy - the reader gets turned on by the heroine getting turned on by the invisible arousal of the men over her... it's a great Esher drawing of a story!
