Are some of these stories being written by people that are genuinely angry with women? Or perhaps with a specific woman? Are the stories written by people that have lived these fantasies out and look to do so again? Perhaps they are written to satiate the primal sexual desire before they actually act the fantasy out. Perhaps I am reading way too much into things, but I'm tired and it seemed like a good line of thought at the time.

As one who writes rather violent stories, I'd like to respond toer that. I have no conscious anger toward women, much less any specific woman. I have never physically harmed a woman in my life, and have no wish to do so. In fact, I tend to fall in love, a bit, with most of the heroines in my stories, even though I subject many of them to some frightful ordeals. Why do I subject these beautiful creatures of my imagination to these ordeals? I don't know.

But regardless of how my villains mistreat them, in my heart of hearts I have great respect for my heroines, (as I do for women in general). With one or two exceptions, the women in my stories are nobler and more decent than the men. I sincerely hope that comes across in the stories.

I hope that readers find my stories erotic; but I also fervently hope that everyone realizes that they are no more real than the violence in a road-runner cartoon. Hopefully some find the sex and violence entertaining; if not I have failed miserably. But that is all it is -- an entertainment, a collection of dark fantasies.

Having read stories like these for a number of years, I think that (for most people) they provide a more or less healthy release for the troubling things that lurk in the remote corners of some of our minds.

I have always been concerned that a disturbed reader might try to act out one of the violent scenes in my stories. This is one of the reasons I set them far in the past, and usually in far-off places -- to lengthen the distance between the stories and some warped person's "reality".

So, I ask the good people here if they could please try to keep the perspective of the website in mind when contributing their material.

But what IS the perspective of the website? I thought that its guiding purpose was that adults who were so inclined could read stories/articles expressing various points of view about BDSM. And there is certainly a tremendous variety of tastes catered to here; if you don't care for stories with lots of violence, it is not difficult to avoid the ones whose story codes put you off. I'd be very surprised if there was any member here who didn't avoid SOME story code(s).
