I agree with you. No. Just no. If you're going to write a book about that stuff either write it right and show it done safely, consensually, and sanely or write it wrong and point out why it's wrong and why you should be on the lookout for this. Aren't there enough books confusing the issues already?

Exactly. I don't understand why these authors want to write this stuff so wrong. And the thing that really pisses me off—aside from the laziness—is the fact they're all keen to make money off this lifestyle but don't respect it or its participants in the slightest. If they did, they would take the time to write it properly.

This is very similar to a book I read, where the man became the daddy/dictator and the woman the controlled/abused child.

I understand a relationship where spanking would be erotic, but there's nothing erotic about giving up your adulthood to another person.

Why couldn't Chase enjoy the turn on of spanking Amanda without having to control her?

Why didn't Amanda tell Chase she was an adult and would decide when and where and under what circumstances she wanted to be spanked?

And why would Amanda want to be with a man who completely changed once he spanked her?

Is this what women really want . . . to give up their equality with men? I don't define myself as a feminist, but this stuff makes me really angry. For all the women who have to fight to get equal representation and then we get this kind of on-our-knees-treat-me-like-crap book?

I know women have the right to write whatever they want, but if I ever read any of this author's books, I'd quit right now because of this story.

These are all really good questions to which I wish I had the answers. Because I'm just as confused as to why the characters acted the way they did and why this seems to be something authors like to write.
