The Therapist

Productinformatie

The world of BDSM can be a complex and confusing place.

This erotic fiction book from John Gemini follows the story of a trained psychotherapist and practicing dominatrix, who finds herself at the heart of a tangled web of intrigue, crime and passion. A place where consent, consensual non-consent, and outright non-consent is sometimes blurred, and even the most seasoned players can be taken by surprise.

For some, BDSM is a way to find control or to give it up completely; for others, it's a place where the boundaries of pleasure, pain and restraint become wonderfully entwined. For some, it's both—and more. A place where carnal desires are laid bare, where trust is earned, gained and surrendered, where you can find yourself, and sometimes lose yourself, in the dance of power exchange.

A few lucky people know exactly what they want from it. But many battle through their conflicting thoughts and emotions, struggling to reconcile their kinky needs with societal norms and personal expectations. A few of these choose to go to a professional to help them understand and explore their deep seated desires and urges.

That's where the therapist comes in. She's seen it all and tries to balance the complexities of her own professional life and desires with the complicated relationships she encounters along the way.

Does anyone truly understand the mindfuck of needing to be helplessly restrained, humiliated and beaten? Or is this perhaps a subject that is best left unexplored, a dark rabbit hole to just jump down without over analysing the reasons behind it?

And no this isn't a psychology book. It's a work of erotic fiction with a storyline, relatable characters and plenty of kinky scenes, but it may well make you think a little and maybe that's no bad thing.
