I am Devi Bliss, a busty blonde naturally sensual Goddess, a delightful mixture of naughty and nice. This certified massage therapist, tantric educator, Intuitive energy healer, passionate priestess is also a talented Femdom.

I have been providing sublime Tantric FBSM for several years. Bondassage is a wonderful addition to my practice as I am a sensualist, but not a sadist. I have found that my sensual and playful personality compliment these sessions much better. I am a natural born dominant, but what pleases me, is to taunt and tease. That is the essence of the Bondassage experience.
If you have always wanted to explore BDSM but desire a soft introduction, or have little interest in the hard core aspect, Bondassage is the ideal choice.

 A sweet, yet demanding Goddess, I can be stern but never cruel. I need not shout nor inflict heavy pain to put my point across. Rather, I skillfully control you with powerful energy, hypnotic touch, concentrated breathing, fixed gazes and strict whispers. My sessions include various implements (from feathers to floggers) enhancing your experience and heightening your senses. I offer a complete mind-body-spiritual adventure in Letting Go.

I take tremendous personal pleasure in being your guide on this journey into blissful submission. When you enter my urban sanctuary, I ask that yo leave your day-to-day identity at the door. Let go of status, labels and ego. It is time to totally escape the responsibilities of the outside worl and spend some time in Mine. 

For Men, Women and Couples

• Do you yearn for more pizzazz in your play?
• Do you have a submissive side you have been aching to explore?
• Are you an adventure seeker open to new possibilities of sensation?

My sessions are long, luxurious, relaxing, playful and amazingly delicious!  You may enter stressed, tired and tensed out but you will always leave refreshed, renewed and relieved.

Imagine the thrill of trying something novel and and exciting…collared, cuffed, tied to the table and blindfolded 

First, I will knowingly tease you nose to toes with soft caresses and hot oil swedish/deep tissue erotic massage.

Next comes the spice!  A pinch of this and pinch of that, such delicious edges of pleasure will increase until you are begging for a release!

Weaving together my magnificent massage with light BDSM is a sensual treat not to be missed..

If the finest in massage, punctuated with erotic sensation play while blindfolded and strapped down to a cushy massage table sounds appealing, you will love Bondassage.  Indulge in a decadent feast of delicious sensations, from deep relaxation to highly stimulating touch. This rich blend of virtuoso massage skills, body percussion, submission, sensation play and sensory deprivation will catapult you to unimaginable places, like nothing you have ever experienced.

Women, did you know that you can transform any male into your love servant?

• Create a safe, non-judgmental accepting space. If your partner suspects that there’s a remote chance you may think less of him for submitting to you, he won’t do it.
• Go out of your way to reassure him that you love him. Tell him that you will respect him just as much and hold him in even higher regard for trying something out of his comfort zone for you.
• Tap into your feminine self-confidence and Inner Siren. You must know exactly what you want. In order for him to submit to you, he needs to trust you fully and completely. This means you have to be comfortable and prepared to take charge. If you are first starting out, you may not know what you’re doing every step of the way.  However, practice makes perfect so ensure you create a basic game plan. Then, be open, flexible and let things flow from there.

By Lucy Felthouse

I’ve been published for a few years now, mainly in the short story arena, though I have novellas available and others contracted, as well as a novel out on submission. I always keep my eye on what’s out there, what’s coming soon, how people are working, their achievements, and so on. And one thing that’s caught my eye several times has been co-authoring. To me, it looked like a brilliant way to work on a project with someone, have fun and then end up with a piece of work at the end of it. But I admit I didn’t really understand how it worked, so it just bubbled away in the back of my mind, and I didn’t do anything about it.

However, towards the back end of 2012, my good friend and fellow writer Lily Harlem suggested co-authoring something together. I explained I had a few projects on, so I couldn’t start right away, but I would definitely be interested. She was busy too, so we said we’d start in the early part of 2013, when all the New Year festivities were over and done with, and life was back to normal.

The writing bug bit Lily, however, and in December she sent me a chapter that had just come to her, so she’d written it down. I managed to read it quickly, but knew I still wouldn’t be able to do anything with it until January. I was eager to try out co-authoring, but other commitments had to take priority.

Then 2013 arrived. I’d cleared my commitments and was free to start something new – hurrah! I read the chapter again and then bombarded Lily with a million and one questions about the process of co-authoring, how she thought it would work, our intended publisher, and so on. I was very lucky in that a) Lily had co-authored many times before so knew how it worked b) she was very, very patient with me and answered all my questions c) that our writing styles are quite similar, so that although we wrote from separate character viewpoints, our respective sections would still fit together well and d) we know each other well enough to give constructive and honest feedback that will be truly helpful, rather than trying to sugar coat anything for the sake of being nice.

And so we began. The chapter Lily had written back in December was from the female perspective and I was happy to write from the male perspective. I’ve done it many times before and enjoy it very much. We’d already agreed that if things didn’t work out, we wouldn’t worry too much about it, so I opened the document and began to write without thinking too hard. We had no plan, no idea what on earth the book was going to be about, really, just that it would be an erotic romance. Despite this, the words came. Fast.

After writing a chapter of roughly the same length as Lily’s, I skim read it and sent it back to her. And thus the mad email exchange began. Prior to this project I’d only written one full-length novel by myself and found it a learning curve, albeit it a fun and very satisfying project, but often I had to force myself to carry on and not procrastinate. With this book, however, it was totally different. It was full of surprises – because we hadn’t planned it, the chapters we sent back to one another were a total surprise, and we both had to think on our feet to work out where the plot would go next. We’d agreed not to rush one another for chapters as we both had other things on, too, and although we didn’t pressure one another, we still produced the words at lightning speed (for me, anyway!). I grew eager to read Lily’s next chapter, to see where the characters – which I’d quickly grown very fond of – would go next, what they would do. There was very, very little procrastination!

The only thing we’d really planned was that the book would be longer than 50,000 words – to make it novel length. We did discuss how it would end, but never made a set decision, we just decided to keep writing and hope it came to a natural conclusion. We agreed that because Lily had written the first chapter, that I would write the last. That was the only time throughout the project that I felt pressure – and it was from myself, not my co-author. I had to write the last chapter, therefore the ending, therefore it had to be good, and satisfying! I put my fingers to the keys of my laptop and hoped that what came out would be good. When I finished the final chapter I read it again and made tweaks, then decided that no benefit would come of me staring at it – so I sent it to Lily. And waited with baited breath for her reply.

She loved it!! She even said that it made her cry. Naturally, I was incredibly relieved that she liked it – and the fact it made her cry was a huge bonus. Poor Lily was suffering with a bad cold at the time so she wasn’t feeling her best, but I decided to take the compliment anyway. And voilà - our novel, which had been through what felt like a bazillion title changes throughout the writing process, was finished. We smashed our 50k minimum and ended up with 70,000 words, roughly. In five weeks (with me even doing two chapters in one day – one in the morning, then one in the late afternoon as Lily sent hers back in the early afternoon) we penned a novel that we were both absolutely delighted with, and characters we adored.

Next, we made ourselves leave it alone for a while. We both agreed that jumping in with edits and polishing too soon wouldn’t help. We’d made comments on each other’s chapters as we went along, asking for clarification of certain points or even just saying parts had made us “LOL” and that helped immensely. So much so that after our waiting period, we didn’t change very much at all.

Then came the discussion on submission. We’d had a publisher in mind all along – Ellora’s Cave – and we submitted to them. Thankfully, they said yes. Cue much happy dancing from Lily and I! As we waited for news, we had a bit of a debrief and agreed we’d both loved the process and were amazed at how quickly the book had come together – and even discussed making it into a series.

Now we have contracts, a cover and are waiting for edits. As the book is themed around tennis, we’re hoping to see our novel – titled Grand Slam – release in August, in time for the US Open. I don’t want to say too much more and give the game away (no pun intended), but the novel is an erotic romance with a sports theme and some BDSM and seriously hot sex in there, too.

I totally adored the process of co-authoring with Lily. It was genuinely fun and we just seemed to work really well – and quickly – together. We’ve already got some time carved out to write another book in the series – and who knows what will happen after that?

So if you’ve been thinking about co-authoring, I would say go for it. If you know someone that you can work well with, and you will be honest with one another and complement one another, then it’s a great way to write a book. You’ll have to ask lots of questions to make sure you’re both on the right wavelength, but it’s worth it in the end.

Keep an eye on my website and social networks for news of my first co-authored novel and a peek at the cover, and I’ll see you again next month.

Happy Reading!

Dreams and fantasies—we treat them as if they’re night and day. Night dreams speak to us in inscrutable codes that require the interpretation of Sigmund Freud or a book on dream symbols. On the other hand, our daydreams, sexual fantasies included, are generally read as transparent, a simple expression of will and desire. If you fantasize about being tied up by a billionaire, your husband had better get nervous the next time Bill Gates happens to drop in on your monthly book club meeting.

This literal view is often applied to erotica, sexual fantasy’s bookish sister, as well. Erotica writers (who we all know don leather corsets and thigh-high stockings every morning whatever their sex) write stories about their own experiences. Erotica readers in turn are highly disposed to act out these stories at home. I’ve been told by two different people that all the farm supply stores in Iowa sold out of rope soon after 50 Shades of Grey soared to fame. I suspect it’s an urban legend, but it proves my point. Our society is rather blinkered and literal-minded when it comes to sex.

This might be one reason why some people are hesitant to write erotica or openly share their fantasies. A woman who gets turned on by an aggressive lover obviously wants to be raped in real life and is ambivalent about sexual equality in society at large. If a man likes dominatrix stories, surely the only thing stopping him from signing on with an official domme is the cost. I haven’t yet seen a quick-n-easy explanation for the M/M boom of fiction by women for women (hmm, good old-fashioned penis envy times two?), but maybe that proves my point, too.

By simplifying sexual fantasy in this way, it may seem we succeed in transforming our uncontrollable, mysterious imaginations into something safe and explicable, while reminding us that unbridled sexual urges are weird, transgressive, and often illegal. In any case, it keeps people quieter about the steamy dramas in their heads.

Except erotica writers.

The apparent danger of a more complex, nuanced view of sexual desire is yet one more reason why sexually explicit writing must be denigrated as filth and trash. However, if you read an erotic story (which includes daydreams and fantasies) with a careful eye, I’m sure you’ll find it as rich and elusive and worthy of analysis as any literary short story. Freud already showed that can be done. But the recent attention to (and many would say misunderstanding of) BDSM got me thinking about how power infiltrates this process of reading and writing erotica at every level, even without rushing out to buy up the rope supply at your local feed store.

If you think about it, sex and power have something very important in common. From childhood on, we’re forbidden to discuss either openly. I hardly need elaborate on the fact that sexual information is deemed harmful to minors, but our society’s power structure is equally off limits. As children we’re not supposed to question the authority of our parents, teachers or other adults. Those who do are punished, if not physically as in the past, then by diagnosis of a behavioral problem and medication. And besides, we live in a democracy where everybody is equal, and if anyone is losing the race up the ladder, it’s their own lazy fault, so what’s to critique?

Nevertheless, in the media and our lives at school, home and church, we constantly witness the workings of both sexual feelings and power play, but we can’t acknowledge them honestly. At best, they’re hidden behind safe cliche. Thus, I would argue, these two forbidden elements of human interaction are forced below the surface, into the darkness of night, if you will, and can become suggestively entwined in our imaginations. Erotic stories break one taboo. Erotic power play stories battle two—which is why they may be so compelling.

Equally appealing, for me anyway, is the true pleasure of considering the possible “meanings” of a sexual fantasy and its power dynamics. There are no right answers in this exercise, of course. Rather the more possibilities you can come up, the better.

Take the ever-popular femsub story. The simple reading is that women naturally liked to be dominated by the superior male, and these fantasies are an honest expression of a timeless female desire. I’m a feminist, but to be fair, maybe there’s something to this (especially if you replace “female” with “human”). But take a closer look at someone else’s story or your own, and what else could be going on? Wow, the subordinate partner seems to possess power—less obvious but critical to the game. Because the dominating partner—whether boss or billionaire, duke or doctor—desires the sub and aims to know and please her.

But why stop there? I’m reminded of the controversial scene in Dorothy Allison’s Bastard out of Carolina where Bone transforms her step-father’s sexual abuse into masturbatory fantasies. Could femsub fantasies be a way to work through the subordination and repression women still face today? If the authority figure is ordering us to be sexual, then we can be obedient good girls by complying while also enjoying sensual pleasure. Could it be that a cool, distant dom also gives us permission to get off without the prescribed romantic relationship making us honest women?

For men, I’ve noticed that delayed ejaculation is a common power play device in erotic stories. What might be going on here? Might it recreate a man’s experience of sexual scarcity and helplessness, his satisfaction fully subject to the only important question on earth—will (s)he or won’t (s)he? Does it play with the reality that everyone, men included, are punished and ridiculed for sexual feelings outside of a very narrow scenario, and god knows exhorted to wait, wait, wait? Yet, doesn’t it also show a very macho self-control over a powerful desire? And the payoff is that we all know when the tension has been building for a long time, the release is all the more powerful.

Of course every fantasy and every story will have its own unique elements—my goal is not to endorse another form of simplification. Rather, I’d like to encourage erotica readers to enjoy power’s slippery lubricant along with the other more visible and tactile varieties. To me erotic stories are much more than a masturbation aid. They are windows to our unspeakable desires within and our complex relationship with our culture’s sexual values and myths without. The mystery of night and the intensity of day all mixed up together.

So bring on the billionare and let the fun begin.

How do you make your stories come alive for readers? One important factor is your ability to engage their senses. When you give readers some idea of how your fictional world smells, sounds, tastes, and feels, their vicarious experience becomes more vivid and compelling. (I left the sense of vision off the list above because most authors already describe how things look.) In erotica and erotic romance, of course, sensory details become even more critical, because sex is such an intensely physical activity and because arousal depends so much on non-visual stimuli such as touch and smell.

Part of a Commission series form my Duke of Milan Doctor Dweeb! email Note me if you want something done!

One good thing about religion and the constant tension/conflict between their illusions of “right” and “wrong” or good versus evil ideologies is that it increases the sexual perversion in, not just those who are looked upon as ‘pagans’ and whatnot, but in the religious people as well. Perversion thrives the most in societies with the harshes rules. This is why I like to draw devils and angels in old stereotypical roles, because it draws upon this concept in a very sexual way. I actually get more aroused when conservatives refer to our culture as a pagan culture of whoredom and other nonsense than if people respect it.

However, this is not what I wanted to talk about today. Instead I’m going to have to go off on a little rant about how frustrated I am with my own lack of ability to realize the images in my head. Simply put, I feel like I’m not improving.

Internally, I am very perfectionistic and demand a lot of myself and the world, though I may not show it in real life. Once I get an idea in my head I can be excited and passionate about it, but then as I’m about to get to work with it I realize I need to organize the idea and think it through, and it always kills the joy of drawing the picture for me. Everytime I finish a picture, I feel as if it’s not as good as it should have been, but at the same time I’m so exhausted from working on it that I almost don’t want to look at the illustration anymore.
I most enjoy my pictures when a lot of time has passed, and I forget about the pic. Rediscovering an old pic that looks better than I remembered is always a pleasure, but I seldom enjoy my fresh pictures. The last time I remember enjoying I finished picture of mine was when I was still improving; I could tell I had gotten myself up a little higher.

I may appear as if I have a lot of confidence and a lot of other artists on the net have been a little intimidated by my pics and think they look very artistic and professional, but in reality I feel like an underdog who still hasn’t gotten very far from the starting point.

In this image I got seriously stuck on the background. I wanted to draw a burning lake, the biblical hell, so I went with water color and looked at some water references, but all the time I painted it I felt like the 12 year old me from elementary school, desperately trying to not make my drawing look like shit.
(I don’t know why, but everytime I touch my watercolors I feel like I’m back in elementary school…)

When I look at some of the masters in the field of erotic pin-ups, like Sorayama, I still get blown away. To get every single detail so perfect and photorealistic, I used to think Sorayama and similar artists drew on very large canvas or paper, which would make the print look flawless when reduced in size, but now I know from photos and videos of his work studio that his images are exactly the same size as mine:

I want to practice and improve my skills a little, and see which type of tools are most suited to my ability and ideas.
