The Q Letters: True Stories of Sadomasochism

"Imagine that you are with a truly magnificent woman. She is incredibly beautiful. She is strong, intelligent, and proud of who and what she is. She is sexually experienced, inventive, and enthusiastic. You know that every other man envies you. Then imagine that you are alone with her. Without being asked or ordered, she strips herself naked, kneels at your feet, and bows her head. Then she speaks. 'I give myself to you body and soul. I want you to be my Master and I beg you to allow me to be your total slave. I will do anything you ask. You may do to me or with me anything you want. My only desire is to serve your pleasure in absolutely any way you choose.'
That may be just an exciting fantasy for many men. For me, that fantasy has come true. Many times."
Almost everybody has secret fantasies that they use to add pleasure to their lives. These fantasies may range from childhood dreams of sports stardom to adult fantasies of encounters with sexual idols.
One of the more common fantasies involves "S/M," or sadomasochism. The term is familiar to many and a number of books, including the classic Story of Q, have thoroughly explored these areas. That people can experience true pleasure from giving and receiving pain - even severe pain - is generally accepted. Despite all this, however, for most people S/M remains a dark mystery.
The Q Letters: True Stories of Sado-masochism is a revealing account of the S/M scene by a man who has participated in it for more than twenty-five years. Known in the S/M world as "Sir" John, he has kept a careful record of his experiences in the form of hundreds of notes, letters, diaries, journals, photos, and even videotapes. The Q Letters is his story.
"Sir" John's experiences demonstrate the tremendous variety of motives and relationships that exist within the S/M scene, and help explain what it is all about. He details, with candor and sensitivity, the emotional and sexual "highs" experienced by both dominants and submissives, and discusses the understanding, honesty, trust, and love that form a significant part of these fascinating relationships.
The Q Letters is a true story. It tells what S/M is really about.
