Why Do Women Enjoy Hotwifing and Cuckolding?

I wrote about the various reasons why men enjoy cuckolding earlier, which you can find here: Why Do Men Enjoy Cuckolding? It occurred to me, though, that a second post on this topic was needed and that I just hadn't written it yet. I guess I assumed that the benefits for women were just so obvious that they didn't need to be explored? I don't know why it's taken this long. I think there are some obvious perks, even if the topic is still pretty complicated. I think women are nearly as likely to wonder if there is something wrong with them for wanting to be a hotwife as men are for wanting a hotwife. And there are many reasons for that. Namely, I think most societies have stigmatized women being sexual, making MFMs or women having two or more simultaneous or consecutive partners as being too “whorish” and something to be ashamed of. See some of my thoughts on that here: Stigma of MFMs Regardless, I don’t think any woman is weird for wanting multiple men. And I don’t t...

Review of Smashwords

This is part 3 of 3 of my reviews of the self-publishing platforms I've used so far. Parts 1 & 2 on Amazon and Barnes & Noble , respectively, are already up. Smashwords may be lesser known, but I've been pleasantly surprised by the site. It may not have the name recognition of Amazon and B&N, but it seems to hold its own fairly well. You can find my works on Smashwords here . PROS 1. More Retailers Unlike Amazon and B&N, Smashwords has a service where they will distribute your e-book to other retailers. I think this option is great, and it eliminates the need to upload your book to each retailer individually and to make changes on each retailer's site when updates are warranted. It's a big time-saver in that sense. Plus, you achieve a wider distribution beyond just Smashwords. 2. Top Royalties Smashwords pays 80% royalty. This isn't completely straightforward, but sales directly on Smashwords pay an 80% royalty rate, regardless of the price of yo...

Review of Barnes & Noble Press

This is part 2 of 3 of my reviews of the self-publishing platforms I've used so far. The first one dealt with Amazon and can be found here: Review of Amazon . You can find my works currently with Barnes & Noble here . PROS 1. Large Network Like Amazon, Barnes & Noble has a very large platform of dedicated customers. Unlike Amazon, it's still largely dedicated to books. This gets your book in front of potentially millions of new customers that prefer to shop for books through B&N. 2. Ease of Use Again, B&N is easy to use, although I would have to give the edge to Amazon on this one. I think it's still pretty straightforward and not too much work for someone with a little bit of computer literacy to figure out, though. In particular, B&N makes it much easier to add your books to the appropriate categories, whereas Amazon keeps that formula much more of a puzzle, at least for getting your books added to certain subcategories. 3. Straightforward Royalties ...

Review of Amazon/KDP for Self-Publishing

One of the most common questions I see from others trying to become self-published authors is perhaps the most obvious one: where can I self-publish my works? There are a few options for publication and I’ll start with the biggest: KDP through Amazon. I’ll address Barnes & Noble and Smashwords in later posts. My Amazon author page is here, by the way: http://www.amazon.com/author/aliciastills I’m not going to pretend like I’m a huge expert on the matter or anything, but I’m also not going to blow smoke and tell Internet strangers that I make $10,000 a month publishing erotica. Seriously, why do so many people trying to scam others into paying for their publication assistance pick $10,000 a month when they’re making up income? It’s a nice, round number, but also completely fabricated. But anyway, the point of this post isn’t to try to sell anyone on anything or to toot my own proverbial horn. I think that getting into this can be confusing and I just want to break d...

Strictly Business: Tormenting Tom now available

Strictly Business: Tormenting Tom is now available on Amazon , Barnes & Noble , Smashwords , and Smashwords distributors (Apple, Kobo/Walmart, others). It took longer than I hoped it would to get this out – it always seems to - but if you have a preferred e-reader, chances are, Strictly Business is there. A preview is available here . This book pulled me a little farther away from my normal style and brought me into BDSM and female domination. The timing just seemed right to get into this genre. 2020 was a doozy of a year for my family, particularly, and writing about femdom was a nice outlet. It also aligns with my husband and I exploring domination, humiliation, and BDSM. I’m finding that femdom can be quite enjoyable for us, even if we never quite get as extreme as the characters in Strictly Business . Regardless, I enjoyed writing it. It made me feel dirty in a new kind of way and I kept picturing that scene in Black Swan. I hope you enjoy, and please ...

Preview for Strictly Business: Tormenting Tom

My latest work is now available for purchase on Amazon and on Smashwords . It will also be available on Barnes & Noble and Smashwords partners shortly if you prefer those retailers. Strictly Business is my first BDSM/Femdom work and was a lot of fun to write – I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it. A preview is below. _________________________________________________________ I sit down, harder, my thighs pressing into the heels of the pumps I didn’t trouble myself to take off. Why bother? I need them for when I walk all over his body, digging the points into the many soft parts of his flesh. If he were allowed to speak, I would force him to thank me for my cruelty in between his cries of pain. I’m sitting with such force that my tailbone is crushing the bridge of his nose through his blindfold hard enough that it hurts even me. My knees hurt as well, and I kick myself for forgetting my kneepads. I could have ...
