Fourplay Fetish Feature: An Interview with Domina Dixon

$

Continuing our Fourplay Fetish Feature on her erotic female domination and forced feminization fiction, Domina Dixon has graciously agreed to stop by for a chat about her fantasies, fetishes, and fiction.

♥ Thank you so much for taking the time to join us, Domina. We are so very delighted to have you! For those readers who have yet to encounter your work, can you give us a brief introduction?

Thank you for interviewing me, Sally. I’m really flattered that you asked! During the day, I'm a pretty normal teacher at a local college. At night, however, I slip into a pair of black spike heels and I become my alter-ego, who has been publishing female domination/feminization books on Amazon for a few years now.

♥ You’ve been published for about 3 years now, with multiple stories available. What was it that prompted you to begin writing?

Believe it or not, Ann Michelle got me started. I love her books. So, a few years back, I emailed her to tell her that. We began chatting and soon enough, she was encouraging me to start writing my own books. I decided to give it a chance and the rest, as they say, is history.

♥ If it’s not too personal a question, where does your experience with female domination and transvestism begin, and are there any real-life experiences that have made it into your stories?

I’ve felt a desire for both for as far as I could remember. I honestly have no idea where this comes from, but I’ve always felt drawn to strong women and it’s always made me tingle, for lack of a better word, to feel like I’m being dominated. The transvestism first began somewhere in my teens and it seemed connected to girlfriends. Whenever I dated a girl, I soon found myself longing to wear her clothes and then for her to discovery me.

In terms of real life, there are a few minor things that have worked their way into my books, but nothing dramatic at this point.

♥ Forced feminization, emasculation, and cuckolding are recurring themes in your work. What do you think is the appeal in being ‘forced’ to break social taboos and indulge our most intimate selves?

I think the “forced” aspect makes it easier to go further. I think there is a lot of fear that many of us are struggling with – fear of rejection and fear of “going too far.” The forced aspect removes both fears and makes it easier because someone else is doing it. But at the same time, it gives us a level of comfort that we can tell ourselves, “this wasn’t really my idea,” even if it was. I also think that genuine loss of control is perhaps the most exciting aspect of submission and that can only be found when the character we see as ourselves loses control and is forced to go further than they wanted.

♥ To take it one step further, what do you see as being the difference between ‘mere’ forced feminization and true emasculation? Is it that emasculation strips away an identity, while crossdressing builds one, or is there something more intimate to it? 

Great question. I think forced feminization is either about freedom or humiliation. It’s freedom if you take a man who wants to be feminized but can’t do it himself and you make him do what he really wants to do deep down. In that case, the male personality is replaced by a female one, but happily.

It’s about humiliation if you force a man who is proud of his manhood (or insecure in his manhood) and make him risk exposure having been feminized. In that case, the male persona remains and must “answer” for what the man has been made to do. The humiliation is external as it comes from being surrounded by people who know about your manhood having been humiliated.

Emasculation is a different form of humiliation. Emasculation is about making the male persona into a prisoner in a feminized existence by taking away the man’s ability to ever assert his masculinity again. Here, the humiliation is more internal as it comes from the man knowing that he has lost power and prestige and is now “inferior” to what he had been before.

♥ If we might ask, where does your personal appeal lie – is it in the role of the dominant female, or that of the submissive male?

Without a doubt, as a submissive male. I absolutely fantasize about being controlled by a strong woman who wants to make me feel controlled.

♥ Erotic fiction transports us into our fantasies, allowing us to live them vicariously. If it’s not too personal, where does the lifestyle end and the fantasy begin for you?

I suppose it ends when you get into those day to day things that aren’t as sexy as they sound in books. In other words, it’s super sexy in fantasy to be dressed as a sissy maid and ordered to clean your Mistress’s house. But it’s not so much fun to clean a bathroom in high heels as your girlfriend is out with her friends.

♥ If we could ask one more personal question, is there a personal fetish or a fantasy that you haven’t yet explored in your fiction?

There is one I’ll probably never write about because I’m not even sure how to handle it: male pregnancy. I’ve occasionally fantasized about being made to bear my girlfriend’s children, but I honestly wouldn’t know how to write that.

♥ On that note, looking towards a more intensely submissive future, what can readers look forward to seeing from you next?

It’s hard for me to tell because I sometimes find that my stories don’t work out the way I intend them too when I start them. Right now though, I’m working on fairly realistic story of a husband submitting to his wife. I’m also working on a story with Ann Michelle of all people! That one’s about a bet and I love that I get a chance to work with her!

♥ Ooh, we'll definitely look forward to that. Thanks again for taking the time to join us!

Cuckolding Her Sissy Husband by Domina Dixon

$
0
0
Although it deals with different characters and tells a new story, Cuckolding Her Sissy Husband could almost serve as a spiritual sequel to Emasculating Her Husband. Where that story saw a proud, macho jerk broken by his wife, emasculated and lovingly humiliated, this one introduces us to a husband who has already become his wife's sissy, and whose humiliation is taken to the next level.

Domina Dixon takes us from spanking, to pegging, to cuckolding in quick succession, with a story that focuses on the power and pleasure of femininity, but which also gets inside the head of the submissive sissy. Richard does not enjoy his humiliation, but he secretly likes it, creating an awkward internal divide. I would have liked more scenes from his perspective, to understand how his emasculation feels, but I know that is not the focus.

The relationship here is not as loving as in the last book - in fact, Charlotte is a woman I disliked almost as much as I admired - but I quite liked the introduction of one of Richard's old coworkers into his humiliation. She rounds out the story nicely, and the final chapter with Charlotte's new lover is cuckolding done right.

Well, if it's Friday, then that must been it's time for Freebie Fiction Friday . . . time to put the 'TG' in TGIF (and the 'FD' in Friday)!

Every Friday I take the initiative to search through thew newly free titles on Amazon, and to identify those that might be of interest to trans* readers, fans, and lovers. Even if you don't have a Kindle, you can still download the titles through one of Amazon's free reading applications, and covert it (if need be) with Calibre. I can tell you I do most of my reading on my tablet, using Kindle for PC, and it works beautifully.

His Name Is Rebecca by Rebecca De Havalland

$

Gender dysphoria and sexual abuse appear to have been at the roots of the dysfunction described in author, Rebecca De Havalland’s memoir, “His Name Is Rebecca.” This is a book about a person who suffered sexual abuse as a child with severe emotional issues resulting, all in a context of gender variance. These events and issues lead to a life of broken relationships, drug and alcohol addiction, despair and, we hope, eventual recovery. Although sex change features prominently in this story about a life that covers the better part of six decades, for this reader, gender transition was not the main focal point. The author, a person who achieved a modicum of fame during the latter decades of the 20th century, was a hairstylist and also ran modeling agencies in England and Ireland. However, she was seemingly more often known for a notoriety fueled by her drug and alcohol-related exploits.

This book about the author’s life depicts extreme contrasts. There is drinking, drugs and a myriad of relapses and recoveries. The author hits bottom and just when you think that this is as low as she can go, she plunges even lower. There are an assortment of physical ailments such as broken bones, failure of heart, liver and other major organs. There is healing and lots of help from friends, resulting in near-miraculous “nine lives” recoveries. Work enterprises galore are begun, fail and then fall by the way side. Stacks of money are made, burned through and/or lost. There are lovers and friends galore. The cycle repeats itself constantly. There is the death of a lover, a dysfunctional family, loss of a child through divorce and then the ultimate and moving reunion and eventual business partnership with that child. This is an interesting, painfully honest and self-analytical memoir. It is also a cautionary tale and well worth the read.


Sacrifice by Cooper

Author Cooper always seems to have some higher principle or point to make with his writings. Employing the realistic backdrop of high school and college football, Cooper weaves a story of gender transition, which for one smallish individual, served to strengthen his passing and ground game. In "Sacrifice,"protagonist Courtney is a fine, although too small and not-quite-good enough for a college scholarship kind of quarterback. Just as the Greek god Hercules found colossal strength in his long hair, our smallish hero, with the assistance of his female love interest, finds strength through feminization. The more girlish he becomes the better player he turns out to be.

Just in case the analogy is not apparent, our hero's natural male characteristics such as his libido and machismo are actually sapping his strength. Is there a moral in this?  For Courtney, his total feminization provides the strength to succeed and proves to be the answer. "Sacrifice" is an excellent story with some on-point football knowledge. I particularly liked the author’s Doug Flutie reference.  For those who are not football fans, the diminutive (by football standards) Flutie rose to prominence during his college football career at Boston College in the 1980s, where he received the Heisman Trophy, college football’s highest honor, before going into an all-star career in the CFL. His "Hail Mary" touchdown pass against Miami in 1984, dubbed "The Pass", is considered among the most memorable moments in sports.


A Proper Young Lady by Lianne Simon

"A Proper Young Lady," by Lianne Simon is a book, that in part, concerns itself with people coming to terms with who they really are. It is a deep and touching novel that focuses on a young adult born with Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome. This topic is presented in such a sensitive way that the reader can genuinely understand and imagine what the experience of having this syndrome is like. In addition to the gender variant protagonist Dani, here is also a second key character, Dani's childhood friend, also involved in her own struggle for identity, but in some very different ways. The two are deeply bonded in friendship and a promise made when they were very young looms large for these friends as it weaves itself throughout the story.

This is a poetic novel that carries with it an almost ethereal feeling. It is a work of romance, replete with longing, unfulfilled expectations and thwarted dreams. There are some rather unusual twists and turns as it rushes toward a dramatic conclusion, leaving the reader hanging until the end. On another level this is a book that examines some of our deeply ingrained societal prejudices, particularly concerning sexuality and gender. It is rich in character development and written in a unique style whereby the reader is privileged to experience and be like the proverbial “fly on the wall,” as witness to the innermost thoughts and feelings of the central characters. You couldn't ask for much more in a novel.


Bending the Bookshelf talks to Lianne Simon

Following up on his recent review of A Proper Young Lady (which we posted yesterday) and my earlier review of Confessions of a Teenage Hermaphrodite (which was published in Frock magazine), Samuel sat down for a quick chat with Lianne Simon.

♥ On your web site blog, http://www.liannesimon.com, I note that you have interviewed numerous people in the past. Have you ever been interviewed before?

Yes. A number of times. Some of the book review bloggers have asked for an interview. My publisher did one. Even a couple of online radio programs.

♥ You've gone public about your intersex condition. When and why did you do so, and how has this affected your life?

Midway through reading Confessions of a Teenage Hermaphrodite, my editor said, “This is about you, isn't it?” I said, “yes,” but it took another year before I admitted I was intersex in a public forum.

My condition is similar to Jamie's in Confessions. I have a Y chromosome in some of my cells and not in others. That resulted in a mix of normal male and Turner Syndrome female. And a mix of testicular and ovarian tissue.

My mother changed my legal status to female in 1975. I spent most of the next twenty-five years hiding in plain sight as an ordinary woman. In 2000 I married a man who didn't care about my condition or my past. In 2010 I started writing. And in 2012 I started talking about intersex and my personal history in public.

I was terrified the first time. Even though the presentation was at PFLAG, I was sure there'd be someone there who knew me. But they listened with polite patience to me tell them about an intersex kid who wanted to follow Jesus. And halfway through, I saw a smiling face in the crowd. A gay man who worked for the same company as my husband. Afterward, I told him I was glad it was him in the crowd and not someone else.

Speaking about intersex brings home the reality of my condition. There's a cost to being transparent. A vulnerability. I no longer have a place to hide. Nor is it easy to forget what I am. And I never know how a friend will react when they find out.

In the past few months, several people from my church—including one of my elders—have run across my blog. I'm not sure yet how this will play out. What gives me peace is knowing that this is where my Savior wants me—living without a mask.

♥ When did you first realize that you had some physical characteristics that were different from most others?

I always had a strong sense of being other. My facial shape is characteristic of Turner Syndrome. As a child, I was always the smallest, and with my pixie face, thought I might be part elfin girl.

Boys were tall and strong and agile. I have spatial issues, so I got hurt playing with boys. Playing with girls was safer. And more fun, anyhow.

Mom bought me a tea set when I asked, and taught me to sew. But long hair was forbidden; they said I'd look like a girl. Well, yeah. Guess so.

Nobody told me I was intersex, though; my parents insisted I was a boy. I wasn't, but I knew I wasn't a girl either. Only later did I find out why I was so frail as a child. So small. So timid.

♥ In your second book, "A Proper Young Lady," Melanie, the female romantic interest of the main character, often visualizes protagonist Dani as the boy she once knew. In Melanie's case, it appears to help her to appease an internal need for a heterosexual relationship. Can you address the confused and/or disconnected feelings that an AIS-affected individual and her friends often have to deal with?

Historically, there's been a strong hetero-normative push from the medical profession. Vaginal intercourse was considered the gold standard; without it, you couldn't be healthy. So they attempted to force a binary sex on intersex bodies. And a binary gender as well.

One of the most difficult parts of growing up—for anyone, I think—is figuring out who you are. Melanie's childhood fantasies made sense when the girls were both young. She knew Daniel was only pretend—but that's what little kids do.

While Dani was away, she went from little boy with budding breasts to a grown woman. And that change was natural for her. That's what her body did on its own, and she was always comfortable with her body. But there's a touch of projected gender dysphoria for Melanie. She was in love with the little boy and friends with the girl. That Daniel was never real didn't matter to her dreams. Melanie's intersex friend was back, but the little boy was gone.

Melanie always considered herself heterosexual. Daniel was boy enough for their childhood games. And she could be friends with the intersex girl Dani. But loving Danièle would mean being homosexual. Or would it? Especially if Danièle was the father of Melanie's babies. How do sexual orientation rules even apply in a romance involving someone who's intersex?

♥ Has this been evidenced in your life? How?

I'm pretty sure my husband doesn't even think about it. He knows my past, but I'm a woman in his eyes. Since I'm well within the 'normal' range for women, I don't think about it much either.

♥ How has knowing your intersex diagnosis affected you?

When I first got a solid diagnosis, it explained everything. My small size and frailty as a child. My heart and kidney issues. Why I was different—you know—down there. Everything.

I got really angry when I found out that Turner Syndrome mosaicism was responsible for my feminine facial features. My pixie face. My face had a profound effect on my life. But I decided that I did like my face, after all, and wouldn't have wanted a more masculine one.

And of course I realized that having a mix of testicular and ovarian tissue meant I was a hermaphrodite. That's almost as mythical as being an elf. For a while I wanted desperately to be like other people. But I'm not. And that's okay now.

♥ In your writings, you mention a possible genetic link to the syndrome. You reference the suicide of a relative of Dani, the main character in your latest book, whose parents made the gender determination for her with a surgical intervention early on in life. Does this represent an event from your own life experience or simply a commentary on past medical practices?

Danièle has Partial Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome. AIS is caused by one of a number of mutations on the X chromosome, affecting the function of the androgen receptors. So it is passed down through carrier mothers. A woman with AIS will often have sisters or aunts with the condition.

Standard procedure used to be early childhood feminizing surgery on the theory that such medical treatment would prevent gender issues. They thought that if the parents never doubted the child's gender, the child wouldn't either.

Gender doesn't quite work that way, however. Surgery, secrecy, shame—the three pillars of intersex treatment led to a generation of unhappy patients. And yes, some suicides.

♥ Realizing that the best practices medical approach to intersex conditions has by-and-large changed, what is your take on the current thinking of the medical establishment?

Unfortunately, the medical establishment is slow to change. The rise of support groups have led to some improvements, but much of that is driven by patients and parents rather than doctors.

♥ Did you have a person in your life on whom you based the character of Melanie?

Melanie's a composite of a number of friends I've had over the years. Had I been into girls, she's the one who would have captured my heart.

♥ Motorcycle accidents play a part in your two novels. Is this something from your own personal experience? 

In college I gave up trying to look like a boy. Until the school gave me a choice between counseling and expulsion. So I cut my hair super short and bought a motorcycle. I hadn't gone on hormones yet, though, so I didn't have any muscles. And I was really skinny—too light to use my weight to maintain control of the bike.

One day, my old British motorcycle took me airborne, and we tumbled down the road. Lying on my back, wondering why there was no pain, I heard a silent voice say I could either live for Jesus or die from my own foolishness. So I found a doctor who treated intersex and trans patients. After I refused testosterone, he told me society would accept me as a girl. So I went on estrogen and talked my mom into changing my legal status to female.

♥ From your writing, you seem well-versed on hospital procedure. Is this from your personal experience?

Almost three years ago, my husband had a traumatic brain injury. I spent two weeks in neuro intensive care, not knowing whether or not he'd survive. After his intracranial pressure stabilized, and the internal bleeding stopped, they brought him out of the coma. Two weeks later, they released him. He went through a month of outpatient physical therapy then. Today, he still has a scar where they drilled through his skull for the pressure sensor.

♥ When did you realize that you had talent as a writer?

The initial draft of Confessions of a Teenage Hermaphrodite was written in third person. Before sending it off to an editor, I tried writing a prologue in first person—the main character describing one of her early birthday parties. For the first time in my life, the words flowed easily from my heart to the paper. That's when I discovered that I had to internalize my characters—to become them—to write well.

♥ You have self-published two novels. Do you ever think of offering your work to a major publishing house?

I spent quite a bit of time searching for an agent for Confessions. Some really liked my writing, but none seemed willing to risk an intersex main character. After I submitted my manuscript directly to publishers, I got three offers. MuseItUp Publishing is a small but traditional Canadian press. They are a digital-first publisher that allows their authors to self-publish a paperback if they don't want to wait. So that's what I did.

I was less patient with A Proper Young Lady. The industry changed, and I was no longer certain I wanted an agent.

♥ Are you currently working on writing anything else?

Yes. Outsider is a Fantasy, an alternate history in which a race of elves is reborn at the end of World War II due to the use of an experimental weapon. The fair folk change gender—not sex—during puberty, and only become one sex or the other after they mate. After seventy years of being quarantined, first contact is made when a human teen washes ashore. One of the young fair folk must bond with it to save its life. But doing so means giving up their dreams.

♥ There was an organization, the "Intersex Society of North America," now defunct. Is there a something that has taken its place? Where does someone get information about AIS?

I've met most of the founders. And you're right, ISNA is no longer an active organization. If you want information on intersex, and especially if you have an intersex child, it's important to contact a support group. AIS-DSD is one of the larger organizations. Their website is at aisdsd.org.

♥ I read on your web page that you are on the board of directors of "Pride School" in Atlanta. Please tell me about that.

Pride School Atlanta is a safe place for bullied kids to get an education. It's open to any kid. Any. PSA uses a “Free School” model that takes a progressive approach to education. You can find out more, or support them at www.prideschoolatlanta.org.

♥ Are you seeing more tolerance about gender issues among organized religion, in general? Has AIS affected your religious views?

I've found a curious schizophrenia in some Christian denominations. For instance, the leadership of the Southern Baptist Convention appears to believe that gender issues are understandable for those of us who are intersex, but those who are transgender are in open, willful rebellion against God.

I've shared my history. And what I believe the Bible says about both intersex and transgender issues. Matthew 19:12, for instance, says that some 'eunuchs' are that way from their mother's womb, (i.e. intersex) some are made that way by men (i.e. castrata), and some become eunuchs for the sake of the Kingdom of God.

You have to understand that, according to Deuteronomy 23:1, a male who is castrated or whose penis is cut off is no longer legally male. So the third type of eunuch mentioned in Matthew 19:12 is changing his legal sexual status by modifying his genitals. For the sake of the Kingdom. In Matthew 19, Jesus goes on to say that not everyone can accept that. Few Christians I know can accept that at face value. But that's what it says.

♥ I have read some people in the transgender community state that their condition is akin to being intersex, not in a physical sense, but in a psychological one. How do you relate to those who are transgender and do you feel a kinship with them?

Many intersex children have a gender forced upon them, sometimes surgically or hormonally. That's not the same as asking for the hormones or surgery because you desperately need them.

Some of us who don't have surgery as a child still end up requesting a change in legal status. But the reasons tend to be different between intersex and transgender people. One factor for me was the desire to be left alone. When I started living as a girl people stopped questioning my gender. My emotional issues disappeared.

I couldn't father a child, nor even a woman penetrate. My skin remained soft long past the time a man would have grown a beard. It's difficult for me to comprehend someone giving up a body that had a normal puberty, that can have vaginal intercourse without surgery, and can reproduce. I longed for all of that.

On the other hand, I rejected testosterone because I didn't want to get broad shoulders, muscles, and facial hair. I liked my body's feminine characteristics. So I understand that going through the wrong puberty would be a torment.

♥ Is there something I haven't asked you that you would like to share?

A few people have questioned why Dr. Pierson would do some of the things she did. Why she was willing to help Melanie and Danièle with a surrogacy. Dr. Pierson knew both girls' mothers from their childhoods. Melanie's sister has the complete form of AIS. Danièle's aunt had PAIS. Dr. Pierson was their doctor as well. Her history with intersex patients goes all the way back to the 1970s. To someone she met when she was a medical student. Jamie.

♥ Thank you so much for taking the time for this interview. All the best to you in your future endeavors.

Thank you so much. I really appreciate the opportunity to chat with you.


A heartfelt thanks to Lianne Simon for agreeing to join us today, and to Samuel for taking the time to arrange the interview and bring us all together!

Luca Walker is a breeder.

Excerpt: 


Marcus rappelled off and stepped onto the ground with a crunch of his boots. Pointing at the opening with the askew ladder, he asked, “Don’t tell me you seriously considered climbing down this way.”
Luca shrugged. “I’d have preferred spontaneous levitation, but it didn’t happen.”
He yelped when Marcus put an arm around his torso and lifted him to his feet, as if he weighed nothing. “Hey!”
Marcus silenced him with a glare, and Luca gritted his teeth while Marcus thumped dust off his clothes. “Your father is livid.”
Luca swallowed. He’d expected worried, maybe a bit mad, but livid? His father never got furious at him. Not for long, anyway. Being the baby of the family had its perks. “Why?”
Why? Seriously, Luca, you have to ask why?” Marcus patted Luca’s behind more firmly than was strictly necessary.
Luca shifted, trying to get away from Marcus’s arm. When that didn’t help, he slapped Marcus’s hands away and stepped aside. He couldn’t think when he was so close to Marcus—when the man touched him, he sent shivers up and down his spine. He ignored the glower Marcus directed at him. “Yes, seriously. He knows I don’t want to marry Smith. I don’t want anything to do with all that shit. I want to decide what I’m going to do with my life.”
Marcus shook his head. “Smith is a good man. My brother Kyle worked for him. He said he always treated his people well. If you want I could try to get Kyle on the phone so you can talk to him. That is, if I can get a hold on him. Trust me, you’ll be in good hands.”
“You don’t get it! I don’t want to be in good hands!”
“No?” Marcus raised an eyebrow.
Luca huffed, a small smile forming on his lips. “Well, yes, of course I want to be in good hands. But I want someone to love me, and not just for my ability to become pregnant. I want… you.”
Luca’s heart thundered in his rib cage. There, he’d said it. The ball was in Marcus’s court. Sure, it had only been one night, and Marcus’s reaction afterward hadn’t been promising, but maybe he’d just been scared? Maybe he feared to lose his job? Nonetheless, there was more going on between them, and they both knew it. That one night had just been the last logical step. Luca regretted nothing.
For a moment Marcus seemed startled, and there was a softness in his eyes that was solely reserved for Luca. The softness vanished too quickly for Luca’s liking.

Instead, Luca was greeted with Marcus’s usual, scrutinizing gaze. “You don’t want me, and you better never mention this again. It was a mistake. Now get it out of your head and be a good boy.”

Staying Her: A Transgender Romance by Holly Sharp

My goodness, what a delightfully refreshing read this was. It started as one thing, shifted into another, and ultimately revealed itself to be something else entirely. Although Staying Her does suffer from some of the exasperating aspects of the genre (I will touch on those in a minute), it was everything I could have asked for in a transgender romance.

My one stumbling point with Holly Sharp's tale is a level of superficial glitz-and-glamour more suited to soap operas than the romance genre. The opening chapters are quite literally all over the place, taking our characters from one exotic locale to another, and indulging in a free-wheeling party lifestyle of which most of us can only dream. I get the appeal, and I eventually settled in enough to make sense of it, but I found it a very jarring sort of introduction to her world.

That trope element aside, I loved the characters, and I really loved the slow, gradual development of the love triangle. James was a genuinely good guy, placed in an awkward sort of situation. Sure, he makes mistakes, and he could have been more open with those around him, but I appreciated the way he stumbled through navigating his emotions. Skye I had issues with, especially as her shallowness and selfishness became more and more apparent. Yes, she has her heart broken in an awkward fashion, but I never really liked her, and could see she was not the right partner for James. Kirsty, on the other hand, I absolutely adored. The way Sharp develops her character is fantastic, slowly taking her through an evolution of gender, friendship, identity, and love. She is a vulnerable soul, and I am sure many will find fault with her for inserting herself in a relationship, but you so desperately want her to be happy that it is a bit easier to make excuses in her situation.

There were times where I was not at all sure where the story was going, and the ending might seem a little too perfect, but this is a romance, and we all want our happily-ever-after. Staying Her is the most thoroughly enjoyable transgender romance I have come across in ages, and I am anxious to find time to reconnect with James and Kirsty again in Reckoning.

When In Rome: Wearing Sister's Clothes! by Courtney Captisa and Claire Bear

Before I get into talking about the story, I have to give a huge shout out to Fraylim for the illustrations here. Normally, I pay no attention to interior illustrations when reading on my Kobo, but here they are so perfectly placed, and so perfectly suited to the story, that they really do add a little special something. Bravo!

Now, as for the story, When In Rome: Wearing Sister's Clothes! is the second in the Modern TG Fiction Classics series by Courtney Captisa and Claire Bear (following A Girlfriend for Christmas). Here we have a story of three young women planning to go on vacation, with a young man forced to take his sister's place - in more ways than one. While it is is clear early on than the ladies have ulterior motives for Chris, the true depth and breadth of their plans are not fully revealed until the very end. While the final scenes are a bit over the top, and do strain the bounds of credibility, it is a fun read getting there.

Courtney and Claire have a flair for characterization, and they make everyone come alive here. They also have a real talent for feminization, so those who want to indulge and enjoy Chris' predicament vicariously will certainly find a lot to enjoy. There is just the right amount of fight and spite in his character, and the ways in which he succumbs to the pleasures of being Chelsea are handled very well. I, of course, will not spoil any of those sexy secrets, but Chris is going to come home a changed boy, and . . . well, let us just say his are not the only changes to be revealed.

Well, if it's Friday, then that must been it's time for Freebie Fiction Friday . . . time to put the 'TG' in TGIF (and the 'FD' in Friday)!

Every Friday I take the initiative to search through thew newly free titles on Amazon, and to identify those that might be of interest to trans* readers, fans, and lovers. Even if you don't have a Kindle, you can still download the titles through one of Amazon's free reading applications, and covert it (if need be) with Calibre. I can tell you I do most of my reading on my tablet, using Kindle for PC, and it works beautifully.

Please do be sure to check the price before downloading anything, though, as most freebies are limited time offers, and some are specific to certain regions.

Gamer Girl 3: MMOh! by Lyka Bloom

Gamer Girl began with a lazy, bitter, lonely video game tester still hurting from the recent breakup with his girlfriend. His petty act of virtual revenge backfired on him (courtesy of NuWay), slowly transforming him into the slutty goth girl on screen. Gamer Girl: Player 2 moved onto a rich loner, hurting from a sudden breakup of his own, who found a NuWay suit on the black market and decided to take control of his own transformation.

With Gamer Girl 3: MMOh!Lyka Bloom begins weaving the story threads together,with NuWay now known as ChangeU, and a young hacker forced to investigate their technology for the FBI. It makes for a fun story, complete with a young man who is foolish enough to think he is really the one in control, an FBI agent ambitious enough to foolishly risk herself to the suit, and the lovely (and megalomaniacal) DiDi whose game extends far beyond just a pair of simple transformations.

As is always the case with Bloom's stories, the transformations are the highlight here, taking place on a physical, emotional, and psychological level. The helpless, insatiable bimbo element is always a lot of fun, and the futa domination puts it over the top. We are really just starting to get an idea of the bigger picture, so it will be interesting to see where the story goes next.

The Challenge by Martha Z. Kleine

When Michael is caught not paying attention in class, he first makes the mistake of complaining about his school uniform, and then compounds his error by calling his teacher's bluff regarding an alternative. While he thinks he will be getting off easy, spending the rest of the day in his far more comfortable gym clothes, Miss Chambers has other ideas.

The Challenge is the first book of The Teacher's Pet by Martha Z. Kleine, and it is a remarkable tale. It's a true female domination tale, concerned more with the spiritual, psychological, and physical power exchange than any sort of eroticism - but there is pleasure to be found in it.

Sentenced to wear a girls school uniform (complete with blouse, tights, kilt, blazer and a straw boater) for the rest of term, Michael finds himself powerless to resist. I will not spoil how the plot develops from there, except to say that it does take us beyond his school years to an accidental discovery of Miss Chambers career as a professional dominatrix, but I will say that this is a story that's all about the details.

Little things like the tone of  Miss Chambers voice, the click of her heels, and the looks she gives establish her dominant character. As for Michael, it is little things like the feeling of elation in being dressed, the way her punishments make him feel funny, and his perplexing need to please her that establish his submission. The Challenge itself does not come until the last part of the story, but his chastity promises to be the first stage in a long downward spiral of submission.

2027 - A Near-Future Fantasy by Samantha Sheridan

2027 - A Near-Future Fantasy is, as the cover will tell you, a strap-on femdom and feminization fantasy from the future. In fact, Samantha Sheridan has crafted a lengthy prologue that explains just how and why we arrived a such a future, where sexual values and gender politics have been turned on their head.

This is a future where men willingly become crossdressing sissies, hoping to attract a woman who can take care of them, and where women roam the clubs and bars with a strap-on secured around their waist. A nightmare for most, but a fetish-fueled fantasy for the rest of us, this is a world where the sissyhunters and sissychasers have all the power.

Thanks to Sheridan, we get to experience this new world through the eyes of one Mr. Williams, a lonely personal assistant, out-of-town on a training seminar, and eager to get his first taste of the strap-on scene. It is a scene that proves to far wilder and far more wanton than he could have anticipated, but I will leave the details for you to discover.

Needless to say, if you are hungry to see eager sissies getting used at both ends, pulling strap-on trains, and being molested in public, then you should do your research now, and make sure you are ready for 2027 when it arrives.

Casino of Change by Lyka Bloom

Lyka Bloom is one of those authors who is never content to tell the same story twice. Every new release from her enchanted pen seems to delve into a new genre, a new realm of imagination, with dark eroticism being the only constant.

With Casino of Change she offers us an old-fashioned ghost story about restless spirits, an abandoned casino, and the haunting of four young friends. It is a very creepy story, told with just the right amount of atmosphere, that reminds me of both an old Twilight Zone episode and the original literary version of The Shining. It is unsettling on so many levels, yet undeniably attractive at the same time.

This is less a story about transformation and more one about possession. Daphne, Reece, Christie, and Wallace all see something (or someone) unique to themselves, a vision or experience in which the others do not share. Deep down, they all suspect something is very wrong, but they just cannot find it within themselves to refuse the seductive whispers of those spirits surrounding them. There is, of course, at least one gender transformation (done in stages, through bets on the blackjack table), and a futa spirit who I suspect we will be seeing much more of.

Chilling and sexy at the same time, Casino of Change promises to be a very interesting start to a new series.

The Samantha-Morphosis: He Became a Little Girl by Mindi Flyth

For those of you who are Mindi Flyth fans, you already know that her novellas present ingenious stories about gender transformation. The Samantha-Morphosis: He became a Little Girl is her latest effort and it doesn't disappoint. Loosely based on Franz Kafka's classic tale, The Metamorphosis, a grotesque novella about a man who awakens one morning to find that he has turned into a giant insect, author Flyth has his main character in "Samantha-Morphosis..." transmogrify into a little girl, something I believe to be not nearly out of line with the wishes of the majority of readers of this genre.

However, Sam doesn't see it that way, although he now presents as a lovely little feminine being, he is totally grossed out by both his gender change and his age regression. With the assistance, prodding and support of some of the compassionate and accepting members of his immediate family (not his dad, though), Sam is tasked with the job of coming to terms with who he has become.

In the Kafka story, the protagonist’s adaptation to a giant verminous insect proves to be impossible and not even considered, but Flyth puts a more loving spin on things here. After the story wraps up, as Flyth often does, she has penned a word or two about how this tale came to be and what it means in her own life. Very enjoyable!

Feminized for Sex Ed by Alyssa Paige

Who ever knew that failing a class could be so educational . . . and so much fun? In parts 1-3 of Feminized for Sex EdAlyssa Paige introduces us to Liam Hart, a young man failing what he thought would be an easy class. Fortunately, the stunning Professor Meadows is only too happy to assign him an extra credit project, and as humiliating as it might be, there is no denying that becoming a submissive sissy is very much a part of Human Sexuality.

This is a fun story that is heavy on themes of female domination, sissification, chastity, and humiliation. There is a lot of crying and embarrassment involved, for those who love the emotional aspect, and just as much spanking and pegging for those who prefer the physical aspect. It is remarkable how quickly and how absolutely Liam learns to submit to the whims of the women in his life, and as guilty as we may feel for enjoying his torment, we can also see the deep inner satisfaction blossoming within the young sissy.

Professor Meadows and Raven are fantastic characters, two very different women who give us a unique perspective on female domination. Their career choices could not be more different, but they are perfectly placed to take advantage of the sissies to cross their paths.

Already sissified and humiliated, Liam finds himself pushed to new levels of sexual submission in parts 4-6 of Feminized for Sex Ed. As Alyssa Paige picks up the story, Raven and her friends are prepping Liam for his first public outing as a girl . . . and his first dance with another man. The focus in these chapters shifts subtly, introducing an element of coerced bisexuality to his sissification, but it it still exquisitely humiliating and deliciously pleasurable.

There is a lot of verbal humiliation in these chapters, so those readers who love hearing a sissy admit to his secret desires to be used by a real man will enjoy this immensely. Similarly, the introduction of Liam's closest, oldest friend is a very nice touch, especially the way in which she so enthusiastically responds to his sissification.

This second collection also introduces us to another young student who has been enjoying Professor Meadows' extra-credit assignments. Grace proves to us how far and for how long the good Professor can sustain a submissive, and the weekend she and Liam are allowed to spend together may be one of the most erotically stimulating things I have ever read.
