Yes, though this takes me back to my piece on Supernormal Stimulation. If you could have helpless and obedient, but with none of the major downsides...
I have a question for you. I’m sure I have the theory a little wrong, but years ago I read an article about different sexual orientations. This was years before LGBTQIA+ was part of the vernacular. The article suggested that Dominance and Submission were actually orientations. That really spoke to me. On the “fluid” scale I lean heterosexual, but if you add BDSM, I’m good to go...
So that’s what I’m wondering- could D/s be an orientation? The partner’s “sex/ gender”doesn’t really matter, but the D/s does.
Well You've done it again. I want to reach out and slap HAL until he realizes what an idiot he is being!
I'd say I'd slap Shona too, but then she does sort of just own the way she is an evil bitch and you also have to admire that. Shona is lying to manipulate Hal and it is working and she knows it. Hal on the other hand is only lying to himself. But then I suppose the truth is as it has always been from the start. It's too late and there is no turning back.
In fact she does, though you could counter that she is technically on a journey of self discovery and doesn't know that she is lying...you can tell right here...let me just find these passages again
This -
"And..." Hal's mouth was dry. He swallowed. "Are you bonded to me?"
"Certainly not. You're a pervy loser with a cage on his dick. Now away with these dishes... Slave."
To This -
Instead, she just said, "Hurry up and do the kitchen, slave."
Hal said, "Yes, mistress." But her head had vanished behind the back of the sofa.
Miss Armstrong sighed. "Oh, yes please." Then she raised her voice. "Slave? Close the door so we don't have to hear your racket."
We have already seen in previous chapters that Shona has to be "in the mood" to make someone a neuter. You can bet that she planned everything about that day happening in front of Hal, from greeting in pajamas that leave nothing to the imagination and easy access, to making out in front of him and screaming passionate and loudly knowing he wouldn't walk away.
And she did it for a reason. Because she does care about digging her claws into him and making him hers, and that DOES in fact make her his, doesn't matter how many times she denies it and plays the evil cruel heartless mistress.
That is a great fantasy goal, isn’t it? To be completely helpless and obedient. I’m in.
The question is, would we be able to resist it in real life?
As my father sadly said as I struggled out of my disastrous first marriage, “you were thinking with your dick”
So, in real life I’d like to assume I’d make the correct choice, but...

In that case...24/7

I know people like that. I certainly think it's true, but not universally true.
I also wonder whether some D/s preference is determined by relatively "masculine"/"feminine" brain. (please note the quotation marks)

Interesting. Is she really lying?

Ah, right. So maybe she can be wrong about the bond, and discovering that.
I had a train of thought here for you...if I can remember how it began...
I don't expect you to change how you write Shona based on my opinions of her.
And I don't even really think my commentary counts as criticism...
I just...
HAD to share how your beautiful writing makes me feel when I read it, because I feel like you deserve to know.
Does that make sense?
Totally. And I live actually having conversations about my work. It's not something I can share with my local writers group!
