i was chatting – emailing actually – with a Dom who’s an old friend.  He’s the one that recommended i read Barbary Revenge, and i was feeling some angst about it.  It is soooo non-consensual and still so hot and i love it and hate that i love it and what’s wrong with me that i love it and i’m ashamed that i love it and i shouldn’t be ashamed and so on.  All lost in my head.

He does not share those ambivalent feelings, he just enjoys it.

i’m like, “Really?  You don’t feel any of that shame for liking it?”

HIs next email said only:

It’s a book Olivia.

Which made me laugh out loud and let go off all that fuzzy confusion in my head.  Magic.
