This is an erotic fantasy meant for adults only. It contains explicit, sexual content.
You've probably never heard of it; Resden is a tiny dot in the South Pacific, an island with a surprising amount of wealth and influence over the rest of the world, yet the women who run the government and every major business here have decided to maintain a low profile. They don't want to attract attention, not yet.
After all, they understand how the men of the world would react if they realized what happened here. On this island, men are enslaved. Every boy who arrives here is quickly caged and collared. A shock band is locked around his neck. Then he is stripped and forced to wear a chastity device. From there, his real training can begin.
The locals of Resden think of male training more like “domestication,” especially since men and animals have so much in common. The men who arrive might be wild, but they can be trained. They can be tamed and thoroughly owned.
That's what Ethan is about to discover. He comes here as a college student on an exchange program, but he doesn't understand that he’s already been offered up to Maya Zahn. She knows all about him. More importantly, she has spent a life controlling the boys around her, so this outsider won’t be a challenge. Still, this young man is determined to escape. Once he loses access to his genitals and endures just a few shocks from his collar, he'll try to fight his way free.
It's her job to make sure he learns his place. It's also May’s duty to make sure he regrets any attempt at escape. This is going to be fun…for Maya.
This 23,000-word novella features extensive female domination set in a strict gynarchy, bondage, orgasm denial, chastity training, CFNM, and more. All characters are consenting adults over the age of 18.
I enjoyed this little book. I started reading it a long time ago, put it down and forgot about it, and just today stumbled upon it again and read the rest of it, picking up from where I'd left off long ago, so I don't really have a cohesive memory of the whole book, but I enjoyed the end. It makes me wish and hope that there could be places like this on Earth, though I seriously doubt there are.
One thing I've encountered in more than one story of this type, including this one, is the main male being entirely resistant to the whole concept of female leadership and supremacy; the problem for me in this situation is that I can't relate to the male protagonist for however long he resists submitting to the female, because I'm not resistant to that – it's a fond dream for me and not at all the abhorrent notion he finds it to be. So instead of feeling myself in his place, for however long that attitude of his lasts I just have to kind of shake my head and pity him for not understanding what he's missing by holding to the perspective he holds. And that kind of leaves me outside of the story. But that's okay – it's not a fatal flaw because I do still enjoy the story; I just can't see myself as being a part of it until the male finally sees the error of his ways and submits.
And in this particular story, when Ethan does finally see the error of his ways, there's no particularly satisfying immersion in his awareness of the truth of his situation – if realizing in the end that women are his superiors is at all satisfying and soothing to him, we don't get any sense of that. We see him coming to a realization of the truth, but the sublime comfort and joy that actually comes with that realization seems not to land, and I feel like that's a missed opportunity.
I get the impression that English is not the author's first language, just because there are a few funky turns of phrase and choices of words here and there. But they do not wreck the whole story for me and hopefully they won't for you either. Enjoy…
