In "The Cruelest Kind," Kiki Delovely's naughty narrator gets her just desserts from her butch girlfriend with some fierce back alley bondage while D.L. King's domme makes her submissive strip before un unseen audience, binds her to a bench, and gives her a good strapping in "A Public Spectacle." Anna Watson' bored housewife gets more than she bargains for in "The Keys" when she follows a lesbian animal trainer out to a queer bar and anything goes in Xan West's sexy "Strong" when a transgender butch and genderqueer sub engage in some very tough love.

BDSM Book Reviews
"For those who enjoy pain and pleasure as a sensual cocktail, the imagination has no limits. Say Please: Lesbian BDSM Erotica is a collection of short erotic fiction from assorted authors as editor Sinclair Sexsmith compiles some of the best stories in the genre, focusing on stories of power, dominance, submission, humiliation, and punishment. Say Please is a strong pick for any assortment of fiction looking to add something that has a good deal of spice to it."
Midwest Book Review
"Once of the main things I liked about this erotic collection was the fact that it is so unique. It’s very difficult to find any BDSM book that focuses on lesbians only, and that’s exactly what this book did. The book includes a lot of women strapping on cocks/dildos, but the book is focused on the power exchange between the two females as well as the kink and BDSM. Again, though, the power exchange is the biggest feature in most of the stories, and the bottom submits quite freely while the top takes the power and uses it for deliciously kinky things."
Pop My Cherry Reviews
"The writers in Say Please aren't afraid to get dirty. Although Dusty Horn's narrator is referring to her unpolished boots, hot lines like "When you see me filthy, you know I mean it" are just dripping with innuendo and vulgar promises. And she makes good. As I turned the final page, I melodramatically went into mourning. Say Please had me practically begging for more. It got me saying please. I bet it'll get you too."
Kiki DeLovely
"Definitely one of the best anthologies I’ve read, overall content quality was superb. The anthology is heavy with butch/femme characters, which I’d expected so I was happy to see a butch-butch pairing and gender binary non-conforming characters as well. I’m hoping to see these kinds of characters become more common in queer erotica, partly because I think its great to expose the erotica reading public to experiences and desires of transgressive people. But Say Please is more than a collection of hot sex scenes. No really. Great depictions of realistic D/s, with negotiation and communication and respect aspects of D/s that are vital to mutually satisfying experiences. Consent is Sexy! Pass it on "
Butchtastic Blog
"Whether you're a super-kinky mofo or just window shopping in the world of bondage erotica, there is something for everyone in this book. And as an unapologetic intellectual elitist, let me take this moment to assure you that the writing is top-notch. Gone are those old teenage days of sneaking naughty queer books out of the library only to get home and realize they all suck (and not in the good way)."

From the Back Cover
Say the magic word and fulfill your deepest desires for discipline and surrender, domination and submission, and the heightened sensations of BDSM play. One request opens up a fantasy world of classic dungeon scenes, bondage and restraint, floggers and spankings, sadism and masochism, very hot sex and so much more. True to form, Sexsmith queers classic gender dynamics, with a femme daddy in Alysia Angel's "Feathers Have Weight," and genderqueer bois who earn their right to flag black in Sassafras Lowrey's "Black Hanky." In "The Cruelest Kind," Kiki DeLovely's naughty narrator gets her just desserts from her butch in a back alley. D.L. King's top makes her submissive strip before an unseen audience in "A Public Spectacle." Face slapping can be a hard limit or the most delicious craving, as Rachel Kramer Bussel's protagonist finds out in "A Slap in the Face." Whether you dream of surrendering to a lover or of weilding your power, Say Please to the erotic inspiration within.

Elizabeth has always written, but she didn't begin writing erotic stories until she started working in a place known as The Sex Lab. It was an act of desperation since, ironically enough, studying sex kept her too busy to meet anyone larger than a mouse... and unlike Cinderella she doesn't actually swing that way.
These days, Elizabeth spends her time sitting around in her PJs writing popular science during the day and erotic romance at night. You can sometimes find her haunting NY delis at 2 a.m. - looking for chocolate chip cookies and wondering why people are staring at her fuzzy pants.

Dilo Keith writes erotic fiction with LGBT and BDSM themes. When not writing erotic fiction, Dilo discusses and educates others about erotica and BDSM. Publications as of January 2014 include three short stories in anthologies and a novelette.

Sinclair Sexsmith is "the best-known butch erotica writer whose kinky, groundbreaking stories have turned on countless queer women" (AfterEllen), who "is in all the books, wins all the awards, speaks at all the panels and readings, knows all the stuff, and writes for all the places" (Autostraddle). Their sex, gender, kink, and relationship blog Sugarbutch appears frequently on top sex blog lists, and their short story collection, Sweet & Rough: Queer Kink Erotica, was a 2016 finalist for the Lambda Literary Award. They identify as a white non-binary butch dominant, a survivor, and an introvert, and use the pronouns they, them, theirs, themself. Follow all their writings at patreon.com/mrsexsmith.

Anna Watson is a married, old-school femme mom bookworm who has been writing about butch/femme sexuality for over 20 years. She also lends a hand supporting and organizing for her local queer community, especially families and youth. In 2014, she founded Laz-E-Femme Press with her colleague, Alicia Wag, because if you can't find enough good stuff out there to read, why not publish it your own damn self?

Xan West is the nom de plume of Corey Alexander, an autistic queer fat Jewish genderqueer writer with multiple disabilities who spends a lot of time on Twitter. Xan’s erotica has been published widely, including in the Best S/M Erotica series, the Best Gay Erotica series, and the Best Lesbian Erotica series. Xan’s story “Trying Submission,” won the 2018 National Leather Association John Preston Short Fiction Award.
After over 15 years of writing queer kink erotica short stories, Xan has begun to also write queer kink romance. Their recent work still centers kinky, trans and non-binary, fat, disabled, queer trauma survivors. It leans more towards centering Jewish characters, ace and aro spec characters, autistic characters, and polyamorous networks. Xan has two romances currently available: Nine of Swords, Reversed and Their Troublesome Crush. Their latest book, Eight Kinky Nights, an angsty kinky polyamorous foodie Chanukah f/f romance, releases December 16, 2019.

Lesbians come in all shades of gender expression, this is why I was disappointed by the hyper masculinization of tops and doms in this erotica collection. It's cool people like to use "daddy," "sir," and neutralish pronouns like "hym" and "ze" for their tops, but this is not a turn on for me and I doubt I'm the only one. I guess I expected more than one "Mistrss," Ma'am," "mommy" or feminine-like pronoun for tops in this collection, and when I say "more" I mean more than 2 stories! Almost all the tops in this collection are butch or masculine Identifed people, and this is disappointing considering not all lesbians are butches and certainly not all top/doms/switches are either. I think this book would be more aptly titled "queer Bdsm erotica" since it has more of a focus on gender play than any other kink in general (to the extent gender play is even kink at all, I always thought of it as vanilla since there are no implicit power roles or Even necessarily SM qualities).
Bottom line: if "sir" and "daddy" are turn offs for you, don't get this book!
If you find butch/femme dynamics tired and overused, don't get this book!
If you find on strap-on sex and penetration as a form of kink in erotica a turn off or tired, don't get this book!
Almost every story in this book incorporates this tired old shit.
I'm a dildo loving gender neutral butch, but honestly I could have been reading free straight Bdsm erotica with better plots and better characters.
I enjoyed the building of the tensions as well as the great range of characters. Femme Daddies, Daddy on boi, queered 50's style spanking, gender fluidity within the same person, the reving of a motorcycle engine. Yum. This book kept me engaged and devouring.
It's not often I can find something hot in every story in this format, but this way exceeded my expectations.
Top reviews from other countries
The collection is cohesive yet at the same time the writers are diverse and individual, the perfect mix of voice and style; the writing is authentic, raw and genuine, as well as being crafted in such a way that it allows you the luxury of actually feeling as though you're part of the action (and gosh, does that feel heavenly).
This powerful, saucy and highly astute compilation definitely left me panting for more and I'm now officially a devoted Sinclair Sexsmith fan; Say Please comes highly recommended for anyone who is looking for a sinfully juicy, wildly entertaining and though-provoking read.
