Wanting it, having it, succumbing to it, fighting it—power and
sex are inseparable. It's been said, "Men use power to get sex; women use
sex to get power." The relationship between power and sex underlies the
action in my story Clytie. Paris is a
hugely muscled, heavily hung super athlete. But to the rich woman who controls
his fate, he's a sex toy. The title character, Clytie, is a tomboyish slip of a woman. Yet her heart and her
beauty make muscle-bound Paris powerless in her hands.
Much fiction deals with power/sex issues indirectly. In erotic fiction, the question of who's on
top is wrestled out in the bedroom.
There's a kind of honesty in erotic fantasy that you don't find anywhere
else.
