4.0 out of 5 stars More psychological than physical, January 20, 1999

By A Customer

This is predominately a book of SM short stories. Each story basically corresponds to a scene set in the past. It is well written, printed, and thoughful for this style of erotica. Most of the stories concentrate on the psychological aspects of SM and not on describing the imagery of a scene. They generally focus on the views of the bottom and what he/she feels and thinks as they are dominated. Some stories are heterosexual and some are homosexual with both men and women as tops and bottoms. On a scale of 1 to 10, light to heavy, graphic content, I would have to put the heaviest stories at 7 and the lightest stories at about 2. However, the majority of stories tend towards the lighter side. I liked the historical focus and would welcome more works set in the past.
