Consent: Bondage Tales

by Jeff Mann

According to the third edition of The Mann Dictionary of Savage Intimacy, consent is defined as “compliance in expectation of being ravished while bound.” Lauded by both the National Leather Association-International and Lambda Literary Awards, Mann writes stories—perhaps even true tales—that produce dangerous levels of testosterone, vigor, and seminal fluids. But the author’s favorite trophies do not hang on the wall—though they are often well-hung—but are kept trussed atop the bed in anticipation of consent. This book features commissioned erotic sketches and photographs.

Reviews

[Jerry L. Wheeler]

Jeff Mann has come up with yet another erotic winner…compelling and hot, even for someone who doesn’t share his BDSM fetish…he writes about eroticism with humor and a total mastery of its origins in his own psyche. He’s clearly thought about what he likes and why, and he shares this information unflinchingly. Out in Print review at: https://outinprintblog.wordpress.com/...

[J · Rating 4 out of 5]

Definitely X rated but Jeff Mann is a good M/M erotic BDSM writer (and one of the stories even stars him). This one contains several short stories and one longer one at the end. The only one I didn't really care for was the last one. Seemed a little bit more sadistic and mean.
