BEN

Yet another anthology from the deliberately shocking, hypermasculine author Cain Berlinger. Readers must recognize Berlinger’s works are never for the faint at heart. Often wrapped in a romantic cover and filigree font, his pages are riddled with debaucherous and degenerate characters intent on driving the readers through a wonderland of seedy, sexually graphic, hard-core scenes not seen since the pages of HONCHO, MANDATE, BLACK INCHES, DRUMMER, European magazine's TOY and MR. SM and other vintage publications. This is a deliberately shocking story exploring attraction, power imbalances, control, domination, and finally, the freedom gifted by good power exchange. Moving from unexpressed lust in the home of his birth to a new 'family' where he can safely express such desires, Sentjen experiences cruelty, abuse, and loneliness before finding, in 'Daddy Ben' the father figure he needs who can and will satisfy his needs. Sentjen learns it's not specific acts that harm a person but the context in which they occur.
