Product Information

Intimate and wide ranging in every sense, the script-flipping, heart-skipping stories gathered here speak to and across one another, conveying truths of desire, experience, and selfhood as only literature can." — BOOKLIST Kate informed Tom three weeks later that she was pregnant with his child. He seemed fascinated and amazed more than anything else, eagerly touching and prodding at his Mommy’s still-flat belly. She assured the boy that no, this did not mean they would stop having sex every day. However, he would have to treat the eventual baby as a little brother or sister. Zentai is a skintight Japanese body suit typically made of spandex and nylon. It can cover the entire body, including the face. Dance teams or athletes may wear Zentai, but some people get off on the sensation of having their entire body bound in tight fabric, and wear it for kinky reasons.

Kink is a groundbreaking anthology of literary short fiction exploring love and desire, BDSM, and interests across the sexual spectrum, edited by lauded writers R.O. Kwon and Garth Greenwell, and featuring a roster of all-star contributors including Alexander Chee, Roxane Gay, Carmen Maria Machado, and more. A switch is someone who enjoys both the dominant and submissive role. Get thee a girl who can do both. A Most-Anticipated book of 2021 as selected by * Marie Claire * O, The Oprah Magazine * Cosmopolitan * Time * The Millions * The Advocate * Autostraddle * Refinery29 * Shape * Town & Country * Book Riot * Literary Hub * Over the following four years, Kate continued having her stepson’s children, dutifully squeezing out every single one he put in her. There would be no abortions. There would be no protection. Kate gave birth to a girl. Then another one. Then a third. Then, finally, a boy.What can result, of course, is a lot of shame. A lot of hiding and denial, a lot of misery, of loneliness. My co-editor and I are on the side of increased openness, and when we talked about what our anthology should look like, we realized it was of high importance to us both that we refrain from defining kink. Instead, we hoped to include as large a variety of perspectives as possible, and to open, to expand, rather than to close any gates. In a panic, I threw a blanket — or something — over my girlfriend, grabbed my pants and tried to pull them on as I headed for the door to keep it from opening. I got to the door with my pants just above my knees when the door opened,” he recalls. “Standing in the hall was this sweet young freshman girl with her parents bringing her to her new dorm room! The looks on their faces were priceless. I asked them to give us a few minutes — I mean, what choice did they have?” 3. Whipped cream surprise This means that you will no longer be seeing posts every other day, a schedule that we’ve been working our tails off to maintain. Apologies, but the effort of simultaneously working on new material and trawling about for older stories is doing my head in. Tom had no issues with being a father for a second time. His lust for Kate grew only more ravenous, and he appreciated her body even more.

Kink] is less a collection of stories than a journey through the spectra of human sexuality…. Kink is a collection worthy of a read not just for its steaminess but also for what it has to say about why people want what they want and the lengths they’re willing to go to get it. There’s pleasure and pain and fear and euphoria. There’s suspension, both of disbelief and bodies. Some readers may be surprised, some may be bewildered, but all will be pleased by what they find between the covers." — LOS ANGELES REVIEW OF BOOKS F]ifteen writers explore power dynamics, self expression, and humanity through bends in desire. The stories...are alternatingly funny, poignant, sexy, anxiety-provoking—like kinks, like life." — VANITY FAIR More: Insane date story involving poop will make your bad dates seem amazing 4. An unfortunate accident Then one night after dinner, while I sat in the residency’s library surrounded by the novels, collections and memoirs previous writers in residence had published over the past century, I stumbled upon a story by Garth Greenwell in the Paris Review about two men meeting for a sadomasochistic hook-up. I had also just read Melissa Febos’s memoir Whip Smart, about her experiences with sex work, and it occurred to me that these stories could live together in the same book, the kind of book that might live on these library shelves.The little baby was christened Sophie. Tom felt confused and uncertain at first – she was a very cute baby, though he was supposed to think of her as his little sister. Was it weird for him to cuddle her lots and give her little kisses on the forehead before bedtime? The baby always cooed so happily when he did. Tom decided not to worry about it. Sophie seemed to like him a great deal, and he wondered if the little baby somehow knew who he really was.

In the introduction to their new collection, editors R.O. Kwon and Garth Greenwell declare that they want to take kink seriously. The fifteen stories that populate their anthology of literary short fiction certainly do that, investigating the intersection of love, desire and control in pieces that transport readers to therapists’ offices, dungeons and a sex theater in 20th-century Paris. These narratives seek to analyze how gender and politics inform pleasure and power, and are written by the very best of the genre—including Alexander Chee, Roxane Gay and Carmen Maria Machado." — TIME One of our great hopes is that the book will participate in the work of destigmatizing kink by making it more visible, and encouraging people to listen to their desires, to seek whole sexual lives. I haven’t fully learned yet how to stop fearing my desires, but I’m working on it. If you haven’t learned yet, either, you’re not at all alone. Things changed a little the following year. Now further on in school, Tom was old enough to start attracting some attention. He was getting older, and rapidly becoming handsome. The stories within explore bondage, power-play, and submissive-dominant relationships; we are taken to private estates, therapists' offices, underground sex clubs, private estates, and even a Victorian-era sex theatre. While there are whips and chains, sure, the true power of these stories lies in their beautiful, moving dispatches from across the sexual spectrum of interest and desires, as portrayed by some of today's most exciting writers. Inside Kate, little Tom’s virile young swimmers did what they were meant to. The young boy wasn’t just well-endowed – his sperm already had the power to father children. Ultimately, it didn't matter that they were a stepmom and her son. It didn’t matter that they had a sixteen-year age gap. It didn't matter that Tom wasn't even old enough to drive. What mattered was that he was fully capable of squirting a child into his hot stepmother’s belly.Hard limits are sexual acts that are off-limits. Everyone has their own, and you have to discuss these boundaries before any BDSM play. Use it in a sentence: “Please do not pee on me; golden showers are one of my hard limits.” S]tories about love and lust from a powerhouse lineup...Edited by two writers whose work takes sex seriously, Kink makes a case for sex’s place in literary fiction." — LITHUB A golden shower is when you lovingly shower your partner with your piss. It’s high time for the BDSM community to reclaim this word from Donald Trump, who, may I remind you, allegedly paid sex workers to pee on a bed that Obama slept in out of spite. This is not the same thing as a golden shower. Kink is for smart people.
