Classical Novel in Chinese literature and one of the Four Masterworks of the Ming novel. Admired in its own time for its literary qualities and biting indictment of the immorality and cruelty of its age, it has also been denigrated as a "dirty" book for its sexual frankness.

In her desire to influence her husband and, through him, control the other wives, concubines, and entire household, she uses sex as her main weapon. The Golden Lotus lays bare the rivalries within this wealthy family while chronicling its rise and fall. It fields a host of vivid characters, each seeking advantage in a corrupt world.This edition features a new introduction by Robert Hegel of Washington University, who situates the novel for contemporary readers.

Spanking is probably the most unconsidered model of balance. Though spanking is commonly seen as an act of submission, the…
spanked has the unasserted power to bring the spanker to their quivering knees. Each of these six stories, paints a picture of spanking that is drastically different from the rest. NT Morley's "I'm Going to Grab Your Hair" gives us a play by play of what a man driven by lust will do to conquer in "I, Anita", Lana Fox shows us a lonely woman whose red lips rob men of their juices is finally robbed of hers, Rachel Kramer Bussel uses "Belted" to depicts lustful lashes from a belted lover, finally in "Sunday in Study" Justine Elyot has her protagonist bent over a desk by her lover and punished for a week of bad deeds. Unabashedly, this anthology places men on the receiving end of spanking. Vida Bailey tests a teacher's limits in "Torn" as a tutor drowns in pleasure delightfully disciplining her post-adolescent student. "Indulgences" allows Tenille Brown to paint her readers a fly on the wall as a wife punishes her husband, much to his delight. The tingle of a spanking lasts well after it's over just like these stories, suggesting that the hybrid of boldly blissful and beautifully battered is blush pink...or red.Darker Edge of Desire

the promise of the forbidden and the sensual. In Darker Edge of Desire, Mitzi Szereto takes the sexualized Gothic and ratchets it up a few notches into the danger zone, opening the door into the darker side of lust and love that only the courageous dare to venture through. Venturing even further into the world of mystery and romance than she did in the critically acclaimed Red Velvet and Absinthe, Szereto creates an atmosphere with a distinct Gothic flavor where we explore our more forbidden desires. In these tales, love and lust (and kink!) know no boundaries, and all nature of beings-from vampires, werewolves, shape shifters, ghosts, succubae-abound.Tread carefully, danger and desire lie ahead!Secret Sex: An Anthology
