Erotic Interludes by Lonnie Barbach

Today erotic writing is no longer a male prerogative. Now women are celebrating their own sexuality through a variety of forms, including erotic fiction. Here are twenty pieces from women writers aged between 23 and 58, exploring every aspect of the female sexual experience - married and single, lesbian and heterosexual. With insight, with humour, with outright eroticism they reaffirm every woman's right to pleasures and adventures of sex.

Most important, the women who contributed stories for Erotic Interludes enjoyed doing so. One woman called it a 'wonderful experience. It is about being there and not hiding, not holding back any feelings. And it's great to know that this story will be out there turning on these people. It is like having one massive love affair.

Jennifers - Independent Fetish Shop

Jennifers is an independent fetish retailer based in Ringwood, Hampshire. Jenny has owned and run the business since it's inception, eight and half years ago in virtually the same location. Jenny very kindly consented to talk to us recently

How did you get started in the fetish business? - I was working as a nurse, when I injured my back and had to give up nursing permanently. I was looking around for an alternative career, when my daughter, who owns a fetish shop in Cambridgeshire suggested I open up a shop down here. I invested my savings, and my daughter helped me get started with stock and suppliers. I started up in the much smaller shop next door and eventually moved into these larger premises.

Secretary - James Spader & Maggie Gyllenhaal

When Lee Holloway gets a job as a secretary in a small firm she does her best to please. However, her new boss finds fault with her typing and administers a rather unconventional kind of punishment. Soon Lee realises that she is not only becoming the perfect secretary, but also the woman she always wanted to be. Daring, sexy and provocative, this award winning film is a must for all those who have had a hard day at work
 

This is a very different movie about a woman who gets a job as a secretary. It seems the more the boss abuses here (he loves to read circle her typos), the more she enjoys it. It gets to the point where her boss finally starts spanking her. This changes her psyche and she no longer is attracted to her fiancée, who thinks it is a joke when she requests he spank her.(Click here for more)

Jennifer Rising by J. P. Del Monico

Nineteen-year-old Jennifer wants nothing more than to pass her exams and go off to university - until her adoptive mother kicks her out of their suburban home in a fit of rage. Abandoned to a world of hardship and exploitation, Jennifer's middle-class upbringing has done nothing to prepare her for the manipulations of the people she encounters as she strives to better her lot and keep her virtue intact.
 

Hopelessly naïve and convinced those around her are inspired only by the sincerest of motives, she allows herself to become embroiled in a series of increasingly sleazy scenarios, until she must finally acknowledge the unpalatable truth, not just about the world at large, but also about herself. Throughout her trials her only comfort is a mysterious parcel which arrived on her birthday, and which might very well contain the solution to the mystery of her origins - or is it merely one more act of manipulation on the part of the arch-deviant himself, Lord Alfred Arthur Brockham?
