"The Ultimate Mind Control" by EzRiter
"The Ultimate Mind Control" by E.Z. Riter (ezriter@hotmail.com). Guest review by DG. This is a silly but entertaining story about a futuristic company that turns young women into sex slaves and then sells them at a vast profit. The company has developed such advanced scientific techniques to make the women sexier that elaborate security precautions are required to keep the male employees from going insane with lust. The company is owned by Dr. McRichards, who is also the head of quality control. Quality control at a sex slave factory is pretty cushy work, as you might imagine. Trouble starts to brew when one of the new recruits, a seventeen year old beauty contest winner, turns out to be so sexually powerful that she bypasses all the security restrictions and nearly causes a major "emergency." When Dr. McRichards and his crack team examine this new siren, they discover that powerful sex appeal runs in her family and that their problems are just beginning. I would describe this story as humorous rather than sexy. I found it to be well worth reading for the chuckles it generated. My only quibble is that the writing could have been sharper, especially with the dialogue. I would recommend this story to a general audience - the tone is so light that the sex slavery stuff won't squick anyone.
