Training to Pleasure

Although she’s young, successful and hard working, Kate has always felt like something was missing in her life, especially in the sex and romance department. During a late night discussion of their love lives, a girlfriend loans Kate an erotic novel of dominance and submission that changes her outlook on things. She begins to research the BDSM scene online and becomes fascinated.

Kate’s research has made her realize that she needs to find someone who can master her in order to be truly satisfied both sexually and emotionally. At the same time, she realizes that she must find the right man for her; she needs someone that will help her grow, keep her safe, but most importantly, love her. She approaches James through an email; they begin a correspondence and eventually meet. James is intrigued and definitely attracted, yet wary. He’s had other relationships in the past that didn’t work out. He knows that Kate is a young submissive and he’s not sure what she wants out of a relationship. He must decide whether Kate is ready for Training To Pleasure.

This story can only be called a journey through a small portion of the BDSM lifestyle. Julian Masters does a wonderful job describing the lifestyle while also exploring and explaining some of the reasons behind James' and Kate’s thoughts and feelings. In addition, he includes some of the hottest, most erotic sex scenes. Training To Pleasure is a tasteful glimpse into an alternative lifestyle that is sometimes misrepresented. This is an expanded and revised version of an earlier story and I, for one, am ecstatic that Julian Masters updated this story! I’m happy to give this book 5 angels and declare this a Recommended Read.
