Counterpoint by Rachel Haimowitz, Ann Somerville's Kei's Gift and I Was An Alien Cat Toy are definitively not BDSM. Even Bloodraven I think shouldn't be added here. Sure, these titles contain captivity/slavery, but this list requires first of all BDSM themes.

Thanks for pointing this out. Do they contain any Bondage, Dicipline, Sadomasochism, Domination, or Submission at all? I haven't read them so I don't know. But the list was requested by people in the BDSM group. If they don't then we'll remove them. If they do than maybe changing the name of the list will help? Because just because a book isn't advertised as BDSM doesn't mean that it doesn't contain enough of the topics I listed to be enjoyed by the community as such. And vice versa. lol I know I've read plenty of "BDSM" books that made me laugh for even considering being called so. :)

The first three titles that I mentioned don't contain any of these elements. Regarding Bloodraven, it has violence, rape, some dub-con scenes. The featured pair can be considered a little as a dominant/submissive one, but all of this happen in the context of real slavery. I don't know, but I wouldn't vote it here, although I've seen some people that have shelf it as a BDSM title. In the end, this is your choice :).
The list's title is good, but as you said there are many books that bring in such subjects, and aren't classified as BDSM. Maybe a detailed description as to what these books should contain would be better :)

I'm just giggling over the phrase real life slavery.

Barbara, I have no clue English isn't your first language. It wasn't mine either. My first language was Chinese.

I'm just find it amusing calling a fiction book "real life slavery". I'm wondering if we should switch the book and ask the woman who created this list to switch the book to Non-Fiction BDSM since it's real life slavery.

Both slaves and captives are forced to submit to the domination of others, sexually and otherwise. If it's a D/s scenario, I call it BDSM. Most of those titles include bondage as well.

If Comfort Food (slave/captive) is considered BDSM, how is that different than the above? I'm just not clear on how the lines are drawn.

If Comfort..."

I agree with you 100%! Some people only consider it BDSM if it's SSC and being forced definitely doesn't fall under SSC. However, I feel it's fiction for a reason. So if there is D/s it falls under BDSM whether it's consensual or not imo.

Thanks Miss A. I've added another two titles I recently read: Slave and The Violet and the Tom. The latter is historical but they actually used anal plugs. Sex toys for guys with swords.

Thank you.

Well I don't see Fifty Shades of Greyas any sort of Capture/Slave story either. If it is BDSM it's not a capture or slave story. Doesn't fit IMHO.

WTF - Someone else added that one. I think people randomly adding that on every freaking BDSM one. We need to let MA know so she can eject that one.

Oh wait, I figured out how to fix it for MA. It's done. I don't know about the Roxy Harte ones though.

Heidi and the Kaiser made me laugh - a fun spanking story?? I don't think that's the same story I read, lol.

Lol, oh boy, looks like I'm adding "cleaning up listopia" to my mod tasks to complete for the day.

And I must say , although one of my favorites, is so far from BDSM/slave/captive anything.

Thanks Karen! WTH. People keep adding stuff randomly. Thanks for looking!

is definitely NOT BDSM or a slave/captive story. Its about a teacher and student trapped on a deserted island after a plane crash.
