Recommended Reading #166: BDSM

      “Fifty Shades of Abuse?” by Rachel Kramer Bussel (Sex and Culture, Media, Writing) 9/6/13

I like all the angles this covers and find it a thoughtful, reasoned exposition.

      “Why BDSM Might Be the Sanest Sex Out There” by Ashley Manta (Sex and Culture, Psychology, Academia) 6/28/13

I find this a pretty straightforward analysis of the historical categorization in the DSM of BDSM orientation as a disorder. For many readers, it is probably old news/unnecessary, but those less familiar with the subject may find it helpful. :)

      “‘Breath’” by Mollena Williams (Recommended Watch, Erotic Fiction) 7/27/13

What an extraordinary story, and what an incredible reading of it. This to me simply exemplifies the “wow” factor.
