"For Him" by Uther Pendragon (nobody@flame.alias.net). The man and woman don't have a lot of money, since he is a college student and she is holding down a job to help keep him that way. So they usually make each other presents. This year she asks what he would like for his birthday, and he suggests that she be his sex slave for a day. She agrees; and she enjoys the experience even more than he does.
Some bdsm enthusiasts may find this story objectionable. That's because the participants say they are practicing sex slavery, but they don't do the things that bdsm lovers usually do. On the other hand, maybe some bdsm enthusiasts will like this story. I assume they can be broadminded enough to accept the notion that people can be dominant and submissive in completely "unorthodox" ways that border on really friendly sexual activity.
As an incurable romantic with an insatiable sex drive, I loved this story. I like it when a sexy story makes me laugh, and this one accomplished that with lines like this, from the master to the slave:
That's not true, of course. Lincoln never attacked the fugitive slave laws. He specifically endorsed them in Congress and after being elected President. Well, anyway - it was funny in the context.
The story displays a large amount of inside humor, when the lovers talk about their past experiences and about what they have been reading. For example, not all readers will catch the connection between Juneteenth and the plot of this story, and I'm certainly not going to tell you. But even if I didn't fully understand all the allusions, I thoroughly enjoyed the fondness and bantering between two people who were obviously in love.
