Yes, Sir - bdsm toy by Cleis Press Inc. - review by Alaska Child

There are 19 different authors in this book and I believe that all except 1, possibly 2 are female. They all do a fantastic job of writing and setting the scene and most leave you wanting to read more. Quite a few left me wanting to do a bit more than just read too.

There are 19 stories in this book each with a different author and a different style/type of submission. I had been expecting most of the stories to be about the physically dominant male, however there were quite a few where the dom was away and told the sub what to do.

I enjoyed reading most of the stories, though there were a few that I just couldn't get into at all, and one, "Ribbons" that I felt shouldn't even be in the book. My favorite stories were: "Sitting on Ice Cream", "The Editor" and "Make Me". I couldn't really get into the "Body Electric" story as it's about using electricity during play, and I am not really into that, but it's still a good little story.

Most of the stories left me wanting more. "Running Wild" especially, it just leaves you hanging with not much actually happening. "The Day I Came in Public" also left me hanging, but not in quite the same way. The woman is taken to a show and told to watch as her man plays with another women to see if she would be interested in having a sub/dom type relationship. There is a lot of detail, but I was left wanting to know what they did after the show. I guess that's just the sign of a good writer, leaving the reader wanting to read more of their works.

This book is not really for those into full-blown BDSM, but is more geared for those who just like things a little bit kinky with a side of domination. Most of the stories are of females just getting into their sub roles, or that have just realized that they lean towards being submissive. I found the variety of stories to be quite enjoyable, though different then I was expecting. As long as you read this without preconceptions about what will be in it, you will probably find at least a few enjoyable stories.

This book is definitely not coffee table friendly. The cover clearly says "Erotic Stories of Female Submission" and there is a picture of a woman's ass in a thong and thigh high leather boots in the doggy position on both covers. Coffee table friendliness aside, this is a very well made book with the same quality you would find in books from a book store.
