At age thirty-seven, Karen Black faces a challenge: join in the sex games at the company retreat or see her husbands career ruined. Then she is offered an alternative, and she begins a journey into the shadowy, secretive realm of erotic power exchange: dominance and submission, bondage and discipline, and the transformation of sensual pain into unimaginable ecstasy.
Freed of inhibitions through her voluntary surrender to a man less than half her age, Karens latent sexuality and saucy personality blossom as she passes through phases of increasing self-realization. Her path is not always easy, but as Karen bonds with her master, she accepts and mostly enjoys her consensual participation in sexual and sadomasochistic activities.
The original Kinsey reports established that a significant percentage of the American population participates in or fantasizes about bondage, spanking, or other forms of power-based sex play.
Both educational and arousing, this candid journal describes the reality of a modern-day dominant/submissive lifestyle.
