Peter Thornwell
A Gay Male "Story Of O" By Torsten Barring!
This contemporary classic of gay male erotica details the life of handsome Peter Thornwell, a gay man with a yen for bondage and punishment. As chronicled by Torsten Barring, an acknowledged master of the genre, Peter Thornwell goes from misspent youth to scandalous film stardom. Throughout he is driven by an insatiable libido he can not control and a need to suffer. It is a journey in which he will meet, and submit, to men from all walks of life, millionaires, paupers, criminals and police.
Barring's Peter Thornwell has been described by some as a "torrid take on Horatio Alger" and by others as a "gay male Story of O." It is both those, and much, much more.

I was attracted to this book because the blurb says 'the m/m Story of O'. I don't know if I'd go that far.
+++++below here over 18 only -- maybe over 30!!++++
However, it was incredibly full of a variety of BDSM/whipping/torture scenes sort of loosely connected by a plot, the story of Peter Thornwell and several of his very kinky friends. If you like reading about naked guys and cocks slapping around and being whipped till you come... and graphic descriptions of sex in dozens of settings including schoolboy, on stage, father/son, cabin boy on the ship, the rack in the dungeon, male prostitute, in the army, in prison, tied upside down in a tree... you'll enjoy the book. It was sort of fun seeing where they'd whip someone (naked of course) next.
