Thank you for this depth review. I've been of two minds about getting this book - would I enjoy it or would I get annoyed and lose the hotness? Probably get annoyed and lose the mood. I tend to be picky about my erotic fiction and like a dom that I can identify with. As soon as he started doing things I wouldn't, I'd be getting creeped out and annoyed and lose the mood.
I agree with you. Relationships like this do happen. I remember one straight male dom in the group I belonged to who had two female subs in a triad that lasted for seven or eight months. He came off like he was using them 24/7 and didn't care much about them, strutted around bragging like a kid in a locker room.
Several months later one of the subs turned up alone having left him. It hadn't worked out. Sometimes bad relationships decay, it depends on how far it goes and whether someone in it wakes up about it. He was confused and didn't understand why she left him, par for the course.
It seems to me that if people are treating this like a pillow book, there's a screaming need for a straight version of the Leatherman's Handbook. I remember getting a lot of sexual ethics including safeword etc. from the Leatherman's Handbook along with the key, earring and hanky codes and terms for assorted interesting acts, some of them turned me on and others didn't.
24/7 relationships are a fantasy for many people. For a few, that's what they want. That's not the same thing as the dysfunctional relationship though.
Thanks for the warning. This book won't be on my wish list.
