I do not get turned on by legal jargon

This post is a bit of an impromptu one, provoked by an email conversation that Michael and I had yesterday.

He’d just started reading a new BDSM-themed erotica (which shall remain nameless) and made the fatal mistake of giving me an overview of the first chapter. All was going well until he mentioned the dreaded word ‘contract’, at which point he found himself engulfed in a storm of virtual babble – okay, ranting – that probably made him extremely thankful that we live in different countries and therefore ensured he didn’t have to listen to it in person (sorry, Michael):

 

‘Wow, that’s a lot of information in a single chapter! But do you know what my eye went straight to? The mention of another bloody contract! Contracts, contracts, contracts! If one more author writes about a contract I am going to … Well, I don’t know what, but it will likely involve a judge’s gavel being used on the offending book in the same manner that Basil Fawlty uses that tree branch on his car.’

The Garden of Earthly Delights – an erotic tale (part sixteen)

Glass Dildo

It’s Friday. And as promised, here’s episode sixteen of The Garden of Earthly Delights. I’ve tried something a little different with this instalment; it’s comprised of a series of text messages. I hope it shows that you don’t always have to be in the same room as someone in order to have sex with them. And, I, uh, might have taken a little inspiration for the toy in this one from Lizzie’s glass dildo review.

I’m really interested to see if you love or loathe this text format; do you think the messages work? Let me know …

Five-minute erotica: Table Manners

Gabel (1)

After what seems like ages, I’ve finally completed my latest ‘Five-minute erotica’ story. I started Table Manners before Christmas, but the holidays and illness kept scuppering my attempts to finish it. Initially, it featured more than two characters but I decided whilst writing that the scenario actually worked better when the third participant wasn’t exactly … present. (You’ll understand what I mean when you read it.) It’s a bit longer than usual, too (more like ‘ten-minute’ erotica, actually), but – I hope – still a quick and enjoyable bit of smut.

Let me know what you think …

Jane

PS – I know some of you are waiting for the next Garden instalment and I promise that’s the very next thing on my writing list. And for those who’ve missed my previous ‘Five-minute erotica’ stories, you can find them here:

 

IMPORTANT: Please note that Table Manners is a work of fiction and contains explicit sexual content and BDSM elements, including impact play. If such material offends you or you are under the age of 18, please don’t read any further. Continue reading →

Reclaimed Surrender – Riley Murphy

Title: Reclaimed Surrender
Author: Riley Murphy
Publisher: Ellora’s Cave (08 February 2012)
ASIN: B0077ROL0O

A marriage on the rocks. A wife who longs to be taken in hand. A husband who wants nothing more than to recover the control he’s relinquished. Reclaimed Surrender is a fabulous exploration of what happens when the equilibrium is upset in a D/s relationship; of the havoc that ensues when a Dom, with the best of intentions, cedes to his sub.

Rene and Alexis Tanner are having major problems. Something has happened (I won’t spoil the book for you by saying what) that’s severely affected the level of trust between them – and it’s absolutely killing their relationship. To the point that they’re unable to relate to one another, to exchange power, in the way they both desperately need to. Continue reading →

Wax play: candles, love, and liquid heat

What we used: Bondage Heat Play Wax Candle in black
From: Bondara
Price: £8.50
Material(s): Paraffin wax

A burning candle is a thing of beauty. But what about all that wonderful molten wax? Lizzie and Thomas experiment with a bondage candle and discover the joys of wax play.

* Please take the time to review the Behind the Chintz Curtain Disclaimer before reading this post. Wax play carries some degree of risk and shouldn’t be undertaken without the proper safety precautions.

 

First thoughts …

Lizzie
Wax play. Yet another thing that’s been languishing on my ‘really want to try it’ list for what seems like forever. However, the big sex toy retailers (in the U.K. at least) have rather limited selections when it comes to wax play candles. There are a load of massage candles from the luxury brands on offer – such as the Lelo Flickering Touch and the Jimmyjane Afterglow – but trying to find nice ones for dripping on your partner isn’t particularly easy. So I was really pleased when we found the Bondage Heat Play candle on Bondara’s website; a decent size and colour, at a reasonable price. Continue reading →

Mawa Klamps: serious pressure for nipples and other body parts

What we used: Mawa Klamps
From: UberKinky
Price: £2.99 per clamp (discounts available for multibuys)
Material(s): metal (unspecified), rubber (unspecified)

If you’re serious about your nipple play, then these sprung Mawa Klamps may be just the thing. As Lizzie and Thomas discover, they’re certainly not for the faint of heart – and they’re not just for the top half of the body …

 

First thoughts …

Lizzie
If you’ve been following Chintz for a while, you’ll know that Thomas and I recently reviewed a set of Japanese clover nipple clamps and that I’m a big, big fan of them (and clamping in general). So when UberKinky asked if we’d like to review their Mawa Klamps, I was pretty keen. However, when I put these little beasts on the tips of my fingers after extracting them from their wrappings and felt how strong they were, I started to get a bit nervous! Continue reading →

Sweet Persuasion – Maya Banks

Title: Sweet Persuasion
Author: Maya Banks
Publisher: Berkley (02 June 2009)
ISBN: 978-0425227701

This isn’t the first book in the Sweet erotic romance series by the ever-popular Maya Banks, but, in my opinion, it is the standout title in the line-up. In other words, if you’re going to pick one, this is the one to go for. Sweet Persuasion is a cracking, singe your fingers read. Put the cat out, dim the lights, grab a friend (breathing or battery operated) hot.

Serena is in the business of making dreams and wishes come true for other people. She spends her days fulfilling fantasies and making others happy, but what she really wants is to indulge in a secret fantasy of her own. Serena wants to be a sex slave. To give up complete control to a man, temporarily, and then return to her normal life once her slavery is complete. Continue reading →

The Garden of Earthly Delights – an erotic tale (part thirteen)

To end the week, another episode of The Garden of Earthly Delights. Grace comes full circle in this one; she’s back at Nick’s house, getting reacquainted with his oak coffee table. Or, rather, her naked bottom is. You might be pleased to know that Caelan makes an appearance in this instalment, too …

THE GARDEN OF EARTHLY DELIGHTS – PART THIRTEEN

 

‘Hello, Grace.’

Grace wasn’t able to prevent herself from looking up at the greeting – or contain the startled gasp that bubbled past her lips upon realising that she and Nick weren’t alone in his house. Before she could stop herself, she brought her right hand up to cover her mound and her left arm across her breasts.

Nick, whom she’d been trailing as they entered his study, turned to look at her. When he saw her attempting to hide her nakedness, his eyes narrowed and a crease appeared between his brows.

‘Hands down.’

Reluctantly, Grace pulled her limbs away from herself.

When her hands once again brushed her hips, Nick nodded, once, and moved towards the sideboard on the far wall, leaving her fully revealed just inside the doorway. ‘You remember Caelan.’

Grace forced herself to push her embarrassment at her nudity down and focus her attention on the man sitting on one of Nick’s leather sofas. Lord, the last time she’d seen him he’d been chasing her down Nick’s driveway. Her cheeks burned at the memory. ‘Yes, I … ’ She trailed off, her tongue twisting in knots at the awkwardness of the situation. Took a breath. Tried again. ‘Yes.’ She forced the corners of her mouth upwards and tried not to look away from the man blatantly studying her. ‘Hello again, Caelan.’ Continue reading →

Maintenance Night – Trent Evans

Title: Maintenance Night
Author: Trent Evans
Publisher: Tritium Press (27 August 2012)
ASIN: B00935QWGY

A married couple. Friday evening. It’s Maintenance Night. Are they doing DIY? Well, in a sense, yes. They’re engaging in the ‘upkeep’ of their relationship. It just so happens that their form of nurture involves some spanking and caning.

This is the first Trent Evans book I’ve read and I have to say I really, really liked it. Maintenance Night is relatively short, weighing in at just fifty-one pages, but it doesn’t suffer from what I like to call ‘small book syndrome’ (a tale as threadbare as a two-hundred-year-old rug or a story that’s so ridiculously overstuffed that it’s afflicted by literary indigestion). The plot is strong and simple – as mentioned above, it focuses on a single night in the life of a married couple – and the action is centred on them connecting with one another through D/s.
