DESCRIPTION:
Time To Bury Mr Benson. I was never a fan of John Preston's "classic" work because I thought the characters were broad and unrealistic, the situations silly and the stereotypes contemptible. Like most fantasy books about D/s relationships, the main characters seem completely removed from life as we know it. What about the usual day to day, like jobs and family? Cleaning the catbox? Laundry? Cooking? The kind of things that real Dominant and submissives do in real time?Enter Master Terry Andrews and submissiv. "Finally - leather realism that makes sense!!" according to slaveBEAST. David Stein has done a remarkable job with Carried Away. Leathermen finally have a book that makes sense about the reality, intricacy, emotions, dedication, commitment and personal journey of a consensual dominant/submissive master/slave relationship. This is not a "how to" book, it's a book written with heart and spirit that will touch you and have you thinking about the "why" or "why nots" regarding living the life of a Master or slave.

Bean, author of Leathersex and Leathersex Q&A
They get that, and much more, from each other: without intending to, they forge a deeper connection. Set in New York City back in 1992, when gay leather and SM had emerged from the closet and seedy underground to become almost chic, only to be nearly destroyed by the ravages of the AIDS epidemic, "Carried Away" recreates a milieu as notable for the compassion gay men showed for their brothers as for the sensual excesses that anti-gay critics harped on.This epic novel by longtime gay writer and activist david stein is replete with ferocious SM action, hard-core sex, and fiendishly restrictive bondage -- which he describes so well, you won't need photos to recreate it (assuming you have the right gear, a good space, and a willing partner!). After their scene is over, a deeper hunger awakens, and they begin playing for much higher stakes, moving despite themselves toward a dynamic of Owner and owned. Matt realizes that he needs to BELONG to someone, not simply let himself be played with and then released. When they happen to be cruising at the Spike, the
