Book Description
Wayne Koestenbaum considers the meaning of humiliation in this eloquent work of cultural critique and personal reflection. The lives of people both famous and obscure are filled with scarlet-letter moments when their dirty laundry sees daylight. In these moments we not only witness the reversibility of "success," of prominence, but also come to visceral terms with our own vulnerable selves. We can't stop watching the scene of shame, identifying with it and absorbing its nearness, and relishing our imagined immunity from its stain, even as we acknowledge the universal, embarrassing predicament of living in our own bodies. With an unusual, disarming blend of autobiography and cultural commentary, noted poet and critic Wayne Koestenbaum takes us through a spectrum of mortifying circumstances—in history, literature, art, current events, music, film, and his own life. His generous disclosures and brilliant observations go beyond prurience to create a poetics of abasement. Inventive, poignant, erudite, and playful, Humiliation plunges into one of the most disquieting of human experiences, with reflections at once emboldening and humane.

Book Description
Femdom Erotica. Ruled by their obsessive desires for submission, they become the playthings of women they covet. Some consent. Some even volunteer. Others are tricked into chastity cages and humiliating acts. Regardless of how they find themselves groveling at their mistresses' feet, none of these unlucky males stand a chance against the cunning wiles of their devious femme fatales. Included in these short stories are slave training, humiliation, pussy worship, feminization, animal training, torture, piss drinking, forced m/m, shock collars, chastity devices, castration, mind games and blackmail. Twenty-three bedtime fantasies filled with plenty of kinky inspiration for submissive males and Dominant females. In BOARDING HOUSE RULES, Mike's desperate for a place to live and takes a room at Miss Crystal's boarding house, discovering that his new landlady has some very unusual requirements that have him naked, on the floor, and subject to her iron-will. And in I'VE ALWAYS WANTED A DOG, Hanna's husband refuses to let her have a dog, so she decides to turn him into one instead. And in Maid Perfect-MISS HELGA'S TRAINING ACADEMY, lesbians Julie and Deb catch a neighbor sneaking into their apartment and masturbating in their dirty underwear. Once they have him on tape, the sexy duo has plenty of ammunition to turn him into their personal slave. Then in THE NEW HOUSEKEEPER, Benjamin wants to live as a slave to a beautiful woman. But when he hires the nubile young April to be a live-in housekeeper, she taps into her 'inner Domme' with a vengeance and takes charge in he ways he never planned on. And in FROM HUSBAND TO POSSESSION WITH THE STROKE OF A PEN, Mary aims to fulfill Jason's submissive fantasies. When her slave contract states that she can modify him anyway she wants, he hardly blinks. Maybe he should have read the fine print! Also, A LETTER TO K-Y LUBRIDANTS, DELAYED GRATIFICATION, BREEDING STOCK, THE CUTTER, THE GLORY HOLD AND MANY MORE!

Men at Risk
Author: Shari L. Dworkin
Publisher: NYU Press
ISBN: 0814720765
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 239
Book Description
Presents a unique approach to HIV prevention at the intersection of sociological and public health research Although the first AIDS cases were attributed to men having sex with men, over 70% of HIV infections worldwide are now estimated to occur through sex between women and men. In Men at Risk, Shari L. Dworkin argues that the centrality of heterosexual relationship dynamics to the transmission of HIV means that both women and men need to be taken into account in gender-specific HIV/AIDS prevention interventions. She looks at the “costs of masculinity” that shape men’s HIV risks, such as their initiation of sex and their increased status from sex with multiple partners. Engaging with the common paradigm in HIV research that portrays only women—and not heterosexually active men—as being “vulnerable” to HIV, Dworkin examines the gaps in public health knowledge that result in substandard treatment for HIV transmission and infection among heterosexual men both domestically and globally. She examines a vast array of structural factors that shape men’s HIV transmission risks and also focuses on a relatively new category of global health programs with men known as “gender-transformative” that seeks to move men in the direction of gender equality in the name of improved health. Dworkin makes suggestions for the next generation of gender-transformative health interventions by calling for masculinities-based and structurally driven HIV prevention programming. Thoroughly researched and theoretically grounded, Men at Risk presents a unique approach to HIV prevention at the intersection of sociological and public health research.
