"The imagination is the spur of delights... all depends upon it, it is the mainspring of everything...
is it not by means of the imagination one knows joy? Is it not of the imagination that the
sharpest pleasures arise?
                                                                        Marquis de Sade


BDSM stands for Bondage, Discipline, Domination, Submission, Sadism & Masochism.
Every BDSM relationship is as unique as the persons involved in it. What dominant
and submissive individuals do together is determined by both of them. 
The idea that
becoming a Sex Slave means being forced to live out the full and often extremely painful
and offensive gamut of Sadomasochistic activities is completely untrue; it is a negative
stereotype and in no way an accurate portrayal of the sane consensual BDSM lifestyle
many loving couples have been living for years.

 

In Bound to Love, Maria Isabel Pita has gathered together nine erotic love stories
written by some of today’s hottest writers of erotica. In each story the darker side of
sexuality is explored through realistic, well-developed characters deeply in love with
each other and otherwise leading normal lives together. The men and women in
Bound To Love are involved in serious, long-term relationships in which their
deeper feelings for each other are inseparable from their erotic interaction. The
stories in Bound to Love are some of the best in their genre precisely because they
transcend it.
