Superhero stories with original characters are hard to find. Sure,
there's plenty of Batgirl and X-Men tales out there if you know
where to look. But comparatively fewer writers feel compelled to
give life to their own creations.
Dark Damsel is one such creation, and seems to have been
modeled on Batgirl, or perhaps one of those 1940s heroines who
always seem to be related to someone in the police force. (Unlike
many superheroines, her undoubtedly tight lycra costume is
never described.) Dark Damsel -- DD -- foils a robbery at the art
museum, putting away several members of the Organization, a
criminal syndicate. This earns her the wrath of its Colleen
O'Brien, its Chairman. The story is also Colleen's, and follows her
humiliation as she is punished for the failed heist by a sanctioned
rape witnessed by her peers on the board, ministered by Royale,
the woman she thought was her closest ally:
[Royale] unclasped her wrap-around skirt and revealed to the
board that she was wearing a harness. She pulled open a drawer
on the commode, picked up an dildo attachment, realistic down to
its hanging balls, and attached it. Lubing it liberally--there were
certain standards to be maintained--she looked at Colleen's
inviting ass and smiled grimly.
Not only that, but the plastic balls have a vibrator unit hidden
inside and the whole act is taped, ensuring that Colleen receives
unwilling enjoyment from the degradation, and looks like it on
camera, too. The whole humiliation episode is one of the best I've
seen, as much for the psychological games played as the physical,
and is worth any trouble you might have in digging it up. After
the rape Colleen is stripped of her title, and Royale decrees that if
Colleen fails to capture DD to become her personal sex slave,
Royale will demote Colleen to that position to serve in her stead.
Needless to say, this makes for an exciting set-up to the rest of the
story.
Good writing, sexy thrills, catfights, vengeance, humiliation...all
anyone could ever want.
Bernadette Unchained, Chapter 1 [A+]

Teenage Bernadette sneaks out of the plantation manse one night
to admire the black, nude body of a slave named Ja'Har, who has
been manacled in the barn for punishment. Her combined lust
and skittishness, and Ja'Har's arousal, makes for arousing reading
in itself:
Her heart began to beat faster. She swallowed hard. Her ears rung
with the pulsating beat of her blood. Lightly she bit her lower lip
as she tried to steal her nerves. After hesitating slightly she
moved her right hand forward toward the thick shaft. Ja'Har
glanced down to watch her hand's movements. She moved her
hand underneath it. She swallowed hard again. Then, with her
dark green eyes fixed on his great length, she placed her thin
white fingers against the dark black flesh of his cock. The width
of him kept her from wrapping her fingers completely around
him. The heat and hardness of him took her by surprise. She
squeezed him lightly but firmly causing Ja'Har to moan and roll
his head back. The wetness at the slit increased. And soon a small
droplet fell to the floor.
The rest of the encounter shows the same mixture of delicacy and
animal heat. Afterwards, in teenage hopefulness Bernadette frees
the slave from his chains so he can deflower her. But Ja'Har has
other plans. He tricks her and strings her up instead, taking her
virginity, and afterwards notes grimly:
[The] scene of her father finding his pride and joy chained and
naked like one of his disobedient slaves with her virtue
stolen...stolen by him, a man bought for a price. At price far less
than the blood that now dripped to the ground from between her
legs. He leaned forward and kissed her on the lips.
But the author plays yet another trick on us, as Ja'Har frees his
victim to act as his guide to the plantation house, which he
intends to raid for clothing and supplies for his escape. But both
are betrayed and kidnapped by a third party, who I'll keep a
surprise. It's only in this last section that I discovered the story
was an SF one set on a colony planet, as prior to this it read like
the pre-Civil War south.
Aside from that nit (if Ja'Har is an alien, he should be delineated
as such much earlier in the story) I enjoyed the chapter a lot. A
female-centered coming-of-age story, but a deeply sexual one.
Creampie Fluffer [A]

Today I learned a new term. It is "Creampie" and refers to a
woman's vagina filled with fresh cum. I think it's kind of
appealing, ranking up there with "Mr. Willy" for the silliness
factor.
The author of this story thinks so, too, because it's all about his
love of creampies and the relationship with his Domme, Nathalie,
who is his main source of them. In the course of their
shenanigans she suggests a special adventure to him:
"You are going to be a fluffer at a gangbang. I am going to
arrange to have maybe six men come over and fuck me
repeatedly while you watch. You are going to fluff them, and
then you are going to eat the cum from me." She paused letting
that sink in. "And," she said, pausing to make sure I knew it was
significant, "all the guys will be bisexual. Any guy that wants
your ass will get it."
And they do, and the narrator is supremely satisfied.
Although this story was well written, it wasn't as sexy as some bi
stories that I've read -- the narrator's tone was a bit too matter of
fact. Still, it was an interesting read about one of God's true gifts
to dominant women, and if you like the idea of that, you'll like
this.
Amber in a Box [A-/A]

A story like this, with nothing redeeming about it, can make you
feel oddly good. Nothing new, but what there was, was well done.
At a swank party rich dilettante Charles opens a box to reveal the
nude, gagged, and manacled form of Amber, a teenage slave lent
to him by her Master for extra "training." The story's first taut
thrill comes from her shipping label, which has been pinned to
her through the skin of her chest, and after that the sadism
comes fast and furious with the addition of two Asian slave twins
who are to act as maids/keepers to her:
Tai and Kai had smallish breasts but their perky nipples were
accented by gleaming silver on their nipples. Tai had both of her
nipples pierced with small silver rings, while Kai had her dark
nipples pierced with silver bars that ran horizontally. The
contrasts were made in their clit rings as well. Tai had a bright
ring piercing her clit, and Kai had the silver bar. This was
evidently the method Charles used to tell the two apart.
The twins try to give poor Amber relief by loosening her
buttplug, but they are found out for it and bound on the stage
floor, fated to be pissed on by Charles' snooty guests and shat on
by their charge, who is has been hung dangling above them. The
use of piss and shit in this story is relatively sophisticated and
restrained compared to others I've read, but I warn you, there's a
lot of it. Amber is later re-packed in her crate and sent home with
a few extra modifications, including a 40 DD chest, about 30
piercings, and a couple of tattoos, as is common for these stories.
So why do I like them? For the same reason bored fingers like to
pick at drying scabs.

This story was less of a story than an imaginary chronicle of the
hottest movie trends of 2002, related in a style reminiscent of a
Hollywood gossip magazine. Apparently Tinseltown's attitude
toward male nudity has changed much in three years. Leo
DeCaprio and Ewan MacGregor were in the forefront of the trend,
but now up-and-coming actors such as Tyler Christopher and
Richard Lee Jackson are baring it all in movies such as "The
Struggle" and "Injustice Society". Soon every lithe, buffed piece
of beefcake is expected to have on-screen hard-ons, then
bondage and torture scenes, and finally anal sex, in such
cinematic gems as "Dominated" and "Wrong Place."
This story wasn't too promising in its first third, but soon I was
admiring its cleverness and plausibility, such as the Gen-Y names
of the young fresh faces (Erik Von Detton, for example.)
Particularly amusing was how the nudie-star vehicles begin as
mundane Hollywood fare and descend into the tackiest of gay
fantasies such as "Punkboys." And no one bats an eye, not least of
all the imaginary puff-piece writer. Read the book review below,
and you'll see how sweet a revenge for Women and gays it could
be.
Book Review: The Male Body
by Susan Bordo
Farrar, Straus and Girrar, 1999
$25.99
Despite the cultural wave of gay male culture that has carried the
90s into the 00s, men's bodies -- nude bodies -- are still not as
widely treated as erotic objects in the same way women's bodies
are. Susan Bordo explores the reasons for this, and how it is
changing, in her new book, which touches more on current
popular culture and standards than the historical/intellectual
treatment Camille Paglia has given it. As chapters progress we
examine the cultural desire of male hardness (not just genital
hardness, but a hard body and hard mind); the notion of the
phallus and phallus worship, and the size of that phallus; and
most fascinating of all, a re-examination of male roles in the
movies of the 1950s. Like many cultural (and gender) critics
these days, Bordo gives a lot of weight to the notion that movies,
TV, etc. set cultural ideals for body shapes and gender roles; and
looking at it this way, the decade was more radical than we
thought.
This argument, which takes up perhaps a third of the book, pivots
on the portrayals of maleness in the work of Spencer Tracy, who
exemplified the old guard, and Marlon Brando, femininely
emotive yet malely animalistic, who exemplified the new. Brando
went on to foster media portrayals ranging from James Dean all
the way to Bob Dylan and today's blockbuster stars like Bruce
Willis--but on the way his psychological radicalism was lost, and
only the brutality of the action hero was retained.
I don't quite buy that media portrayels have as much control over
male -- and female -- sexual identity as Bordo seems to think, but
it all makes for compelling reading, especially as Bordo notes that
the "collective gaze" (that which the audience is meant to see on
the screen) of 50s movies frankly drooled over the muscled
physiques of their male stars (who were often whipped and
scourged in the many biblical epics of the time) in a way that was
forgotten by the media until the male nude Gucci and Calvin
Klein print ads of today...not to mention the proclivity of newer
actors like Ewan MacGregor to shed their clothes...which may
make a scenario like the one of "All Young Actors Now Must Show
Their Cocks" more likely than you'd think.
