I chose to review many stories involving different types of sexual proclivities because I’m always curious about how these types of dynamics are portrayed in the media. BDSM (relationship dynamics surrounding bondage, discipline, dominance, submission, sadism, etc.) especially doesn’t get the best mainstream representation. As a real-life practice leader, this is very important to me. Both dominant and submissive dynamics are about trust and emotional vulnerability. However, they are often portrayed in such a way that it feels like we are glamorizing the idea of exploiting this vulnerability. I say this because it really makes me happy when I come across a story that treats these dynamics with the respect they deserve Praise me when I’m a good boy Fall into that camp.
praise me It tells the story of a stressed-out office worker who desperately needs relief. However, the relief is emotional and social first, then physical. Don’t get me wrong, there are a lot of physically intimate moments in this book, and they’re exciting. However, I appreciate it praise me Because it is willing to delve deeper into the psychological aspects of dominance and submission through clues. It emphasizes the different types of dominants and submissives, it emphasizes the idea that compatibility is important, it separates dynamics on an emotional level from those on a physical level, and it can even increase the insecurity that comes with being dominant or submissive .
When you’re dominant, you’re under a lot of pressure. Sometimes you don’t have the ability to give people what they want. This can cause communication issues and make you feel unsafe. On the other hand, a submissive person may feel very insecure about being someone who seeks a pampered lifestyle. The latter desire is especially daunting when you’re a traditional Japanese businessman, and this book goes to great lengths to highlight these insecurities. The book begins with our protagonist losing his fiancé after coming out and being honest about his desires, which ultimately only creates a situation where he forces himself even more to show that he doesn’t need someone, which adds to his emotional stress. There’s a good argument to be made for how this book can almost serve as an introductory course for people curious about dominant and submissive lifestyles.
Unfortunately, we have to get over the uncomfortable elements of the original premise. Ironically, in order to force our two leads together, we need to introduce a plot point that almost goes against the nature of the dominant and submissive dynamic. Oddly, there’s a lot of talk in this book about not overstepping boundaries, and the main thing that keeps our two leads together for more than half the time is the threat of blackmail. This feels like a forced character moment for a story so well thought out. Given the nature of our leadership relationships, there could have been a more thoughtful way to address this issue.
I have to give high praise to the font of this book and how it differentiates between normal speech and dominant speech. When a character gives a command using a more dominant tone, the text will be thicker and stand out more. This is not a very visually unique book because even the sex scenes, while exciting, are not something you’ve never seen before if you’ve read other books. boy love story. But I do find this creative choice particularly compelling. It’s leveraging the medium. Many dominant people will tell you that sometimes their tone changes when dealing with a submissive.
This book was a surprise. I’m bothered by a lot of stories that are either overly complicated or don’t take into account or care about the idea of a BDSM relationship. praise me It very firmly establishes our characters, their insecurities, and how that ties into their status as a dominant and submissive couple. While I think some of the writing is a little counter-intuitive, there’s plenty for those who are specifically interested in exploring the BDSM lifestyle. Are you stressed out and feeling unsure or insecure about how you want to be treated? This has the potential to give you some insight into what exactly you want from some more intimate relationships.
