THE DIARY OF AN EROTIC WRITER

What is erotic, Part 8 Submission

Submissive is defined as unresistingly or humbly obedient. Talk about a fantasy! Having your way, utterly, with another. To make a good story out of it, the submissive person ultimately has to rebel. In my story Clytie, the hero, Paris, is the pampered and submissive consort of a rich woman. His love for Clytie gives him the strength to resist. In the same story, the wealthy rulers play at being submissive. Whenever the man in the Minotaur costume appears, the power relationships are reversed and the slaves become the masters. But only for a short while, and with guardians nearby who will intervene if the masters are used too roughly. True subversion is so contrary to human nature that in fiction it is usually sought by a villain, or pursued as a perverse pleasure.
