Book Review of Xcites Books Collection of ‘Power Play’ Stories

admin — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 18:29:00 +0000

Article by S. Roberts

Power Play are twenty explicit stories published by Xcite Books. The Stories focus on power play games where control is everything.

Every kind of sexual domination and submission is explored in Power Play, from tongue-in-cheek role-play to intense BDSM. In Power Lunch, Claudia is very much in control, not just of her own business, but her toy-boy Secretary Patrick. While in K D Grace’s story, Penny can’t get enough of her ex-military personal trainer who’s still very much dishing out the orders, both at the gym and in the bedroom.

The book was sent out to sex toy testers to read and review the stories for their literary merit as well as their raunchiness. The independent testers voted Power Play from Xcite Books 14 out of a possible 15, rendering it a fabulous read.

What was your first impression of the item sent to you? From reading the cover, what did you expect?
From the cover of the book, I imagined I would expect to find stories involving a clear mistress or master in the relationships the stories feature, and likely BDSM from the handcuff on the lady’s wrist in the image. The cover itself was well designed; it looks sleek, sexy and professionally well done.

What kinds of content were in the book?
The book contains 20 stories, all involving a form of power play. Examples; one story had a guy who wanted to be controlled in a relationship, another had a woman being subjected to sexual torture as part of an initiation, and another was about a couple who enjoyed this type of sexual activity.

Did you find the book informative?
It was informative in the sense that it brought up situations of power play that I hadn’t yet imagined. This book involved the one kink that I adore, and so I really paid attention to the stories, looking for new ideas.

Did you find the book Sexy?
There are no sex images or real advice in the book; it is purely a collection of 20 stories by different authors. The stories themselves were incredibly sexy, some even more so than others. Some were a little corny in places.

Did you find the book inspiring?
It has to a point; this book has only enhanced my knowledge and love for this type of sexual behaviour. However, as of yet, I haven’t put any of the situations into my sex life, purely because I am unsure of my own partner would be comfortable with this.

What did you think about the quality of the stories?
The stories were of good quality although, as mentioned, could be quite corny in places. Some were good to laugh at. But there are a few stories, which were incredibly sexy to me, and I had to read over them twice having enjoyed them so much. I have only ever read one previous erotica book, but that didn’t have as much power play in it as this one book.

What did you think about the quality of the Photos?
The only photo featured is the one on the cover, which gives an accurate view of what happens in the stories, although a cuff isn’t used in many of the stories.

What did you think about the quality of the Advertising?
The book had 3 different books from the same series featured, only saying the names and displaying the front covers in much smaller sizes. Unlike the previous erotica book I had read, there were no advertisements for other books on the last few pages.

Has the book improved you sex life in any way? Did the book highlight any hot tips to you?
It has not yet improved my sex life as I have yet to have this fun, but it has highlighted tips to me and a few ways to encourage my lover to help me achieve what I want.

Who do you think this Book is aimed at?
I think this book would be aimed anyone who enjoys erotica stories, particularly power play. This could be used for couples for ideas or to get them in the mood, for singles for that night alone, experienced for new ideas, inexperienced as to show what to expect.

Does the item need improving, if so in what way?
I can not think of any way this book needs improving. Maybe more room for more stories would be nice, but on a serious note, it was an enjoyable read.

Would you recommend this item to a friend?
I would recommend this book to friends only if I was sure this was what they were into.

Do you have any hot tips for using this item?
I would read this before bedtime to get you into the mood; I would only read this during the day if I could sort myself out peacefully if I got into the mood.

What rating would you give this item out of 5?
5

Audio Books and Evolution: why we have evolved to love stories

Article by William Charlwood

In the old days, and I mean very old here, humans used to sit around camp fires in the evening relaying the day’s events to each other in the only way they knew how: by telling stories. Story telling was a vital form of communication between people and because key messages could be explained in stories, often complex ones at that that related to fundamental survival factors such as how to build shelters, how to light fires and so on, it was an advantage for individuals to be able to listen and understand the spoken narrative.

If you learned of the location of a new food supply via a story, then you had an advantage in raw survival terms over someone who didn’t listen or process the story so well. As generation gave way to generation, those with this slight advantage prospered better than those who did not and in turn lived to child-bearing age more frequently and thus we evolved to be good listeners to stories.

And so it remains today. A good story can transfix us, transport us into another world and give us insights and entertainment at the same time. But what has changed is the medium through which the story can be told. Now it is easy to record a story onto an ipod or an MP3 player or just a CD or a Flash chip and then play it back when and wherever you want.

But stories are at their best when read by professional actors who paint pictures in your mind that have an intensity and clarity of their own so we are now seeing a rapidly increasing library of stories available online that have been narrated by first class actors.

These stories, ranging from short tales, through poems and speeches and on to the great and lengthy novels are now becoming much more widely available from websites that have been set up for this specific purpose. Good audio book download sites now give you instant access to a growing range of top quality audio entertainment so when you are in the mood for some entertainment, education, enlightenment or just some comic relief you can download the stories you want immediately. Downloadable audio books are quite an advance on camp fire stories but they nonetheless appeal at that same deep, instinctive level.

Go and listen to a good story now and you’ll hear what I mean.

William Bennett — Mon, 14 Mar 2011 16:14:58 +0000

Antique shelves can be built into a wall or they can stand alone. Dependent on the space available, one huge bookcase might serve the purpose, or some smaller ones throughout your space may work better. Do you want to have your shelves in one room, or in different rooms in your home?

Before you install an antique bookshelf in your house, choose its location meticulously. Make sure that there may not be any obstructions, like opening doors that will destabilize the books. You ought to have a clear open space so you don’t have to move other furniture to reach books on lower shelves. Ensure that you take measurements of the peak of the room.
