During the second week of my two week blog tour to promote my new book, ‘Alice in Fetishland’ I’m discussing some of the various themes related to the book.
This is the final day of my two week blog tour and I want to complete the tour by discussing BDSM and in particular the relationship between the activities and psychology of bondage and domination. Just as erotic writing can span a huge range of sub-genres from light erotic romance to dark paranormal erotica so BDSM itself can cover a wide range of activities and levels of intensity from light tie and tease to the very edgy with extreme levels of restraint and infliction of pain.
In my book, ‘Adventures in Fetishland’ the characters are subjected to a wide range of these activities. It is set in a dungeon rather than a domestic setting with a dominatrix who has access to a range of equipment and tools for making her submissive slaves (male, or in the case of the main character of the book, female) suffer. So, included in it are scenes of bondage and incarceration, nipple torture, cock and ball torture, electrical play, hot wax play, corporal punishment, school-room play, medical play, anal strap-on play, food play, cling film mummification and breath play.
So, I guess there’s some pretty extreme content there! The scenes all have a place in charting the journey Kim takes in submitting to the Red Queen. She enters into a kind of pact with this dominatrix in which she willingly offers herself up for this physical and mental torment.
Now, underpinning all the range of activities that BDSM has to offer is the psychological relationship between dominant and submissive. Without that, nothing else works! So, at the heart of the narrative of ‘Adventures in Fetishland’ is the psychological and emotional relationship between the two women – Kim and the Red Queen. It’s that interplay between pain and pleasure, domination and submission, humiliation and acceptance, physical restraint and mental liberation, retribution and reward that is at the heart of BDSM and the bond between my two main characters.
In this bdsm re-invention of the Alice stories Kim’s life takes an unexpected twist when she is taken from the massage parlour she works in to a fetish fantasy world ruled over by the Red Queen, a powerful dominatrix. There, an intense psychological drama is played out between the two women as Kim enters a journey into submission. The Red Queen assumes different characters who torment Kim in a series of trials ranging from the funny and strange to the sadistic and erotic. Kim is lured deeper into this world by hints the Red Queen knows something about her past. Why has she been chosen to serve this powerful female? Why is the Red Queen so interested in her? When Kim finally finds out the truth, it is shocking and bizarre.

I have to steel myself for this she contemplated, as she handled the hard dark object in her hand. I know how special this girl is and what she means to me. I like her. However cruel I’ve needed to treat her I’ve great affection for her. But I must manifest my harsh side. I must take her through this final trial of submission; take her deepest taboo and make her face up to it so she can surrender herself completely. And then all can be revealed.
She took the leather belt and strapped it around her waist, tightening the harness so it sat snugly against her crotch. The black false cock protruded from her body. She could feel its hardness against her own sex and that made her feel empowered. She ran her red fingernails across its contours and felt its unforgiving hardness. She felt the power and dominance of it run through her. This would not be easy, for her or for Kim, but it had to be done. She got up from her dressing table chair and went into her dungeon.
Kim had already been prepared by Vicky. She was front down on her whipping bench, her wrists and ankles strapped to the bench and her naked body tied down with leather straps. She was helpless and vulnerable and Mistress Nemesis knew that what she faced would be a severe challenge for her. She stood in front of Kim the black strap on bobbing in front of her face. Kim was tied down so she couldn’t look up; her whole attention was directed at the fearsome object around the Red Queen’s waist.
“Do you see this girl?”
“Mmm, yes mistress,” Kim muttered in a whispered whimper.
Mistress Nemesis could tell Kim knew where she intended to put the hard object. Kim realised it. She hoped that she intended to fuck her with the strap-on in the normal way, up her sopping cunt but somehow she knew instinctively that wasn’t where it was going to go. It was the only part of her bound, battered and abused body that hadn’t been used in Nemesisland and it was hardly likely it was going to escape attention.
“Do you know where this is going to go?” she asked in her cruellest tones; the question was rhetorical.
“Yes, mistress,” Kim replied, oh yes she knew.
Writing Erotica – The Seven Secrets to Making Sex Scenes Spicy
I think it’s absurd that many authors think writing erotica is easy and, therefore, a lower class of writing. The truth is if writing erotica were easy, there would be no bad works of erotic fiction on the market. I can tell you from experience that writing good erotica is no simple task. And for those of you willing to take on the challenge of either writing erotica or an erotic version of your genre — be it romance, suspense, or other genre — here are seven secrets to make your sex scenes spicy.
I confess that before I wrote my first erotic novella Alice’s Sexual Discovery in a Wonderful Land, I was one of those authors who thought writing erotica would be a breeze. I mean, what’s the big deal? Just be a little more explicit in the bedroom and presto! Instant erotica!
Boy, was I in for a shock.
I realized that you could put a dirty story’s sex scene in four different categories.
- Porn – The sex scene arouses the reader.
- Erotica for Men – The sex scene arouses the reader and moves the story forward.
- Erotica for Women – The sex scene arouses the reader, moves the story forward, and advances the characters.
- Romantic Erotica – The sex scene arouses the reader, moves the story forward, advances the characters, and advances the relationship.
When I wrote Alice’s Sexual Discovery, an erotic version of Alice in Wonderland, I realized I couldn’t reach what I considered to be the highest level of erotica. Romantic erotica would not suit my story because Alice never stays with one person. Throughout the story she meets different characters, so Alice could never build a relationship. With that realization, I made the story be about her own sexual growth and her relationship with herself.
But rather than jump straight to the highest level of erotica, let’s focus on the basics. How do you make a sex scene sizzle?
What tips do you have to spice up a sex scene? Share your ideas with me below! I’d love to hear them!
An erotic version of Alice in Wonderland, Alice’s Sexual Discovery in a Wonderful Land is Liz Adams’s debut novella.
Having returned from university for the holidays, Alice can’t shake the truth: she’s still in love with her childhood crush Jack, the buff, handsome gardener. But as inexperienced as she is with sex, and having never been able to achieve the big O, will she ever be good enough to satisfy Jack? A fall deep down a well takes her to an erotic Wonderland where she can learn how to please a man and how to achieve orgasm. She shares her sexual discoveries with a young man named “Rabbit” who likes to explore, a group of strong villagers, a “Caterpillar” who has more hands than Alice can handle, a Mad Hatter who finds Alice’s exquisite weakness, and a whole host of talented characters. All lead to the Queen and her majesty’s dark secret. Will Alice’s sexual discovery be just the thing to snag her desired man Jack? And will her erotic journey help her unlock her own pleasure?
“Overall? This is deliciously wicked. Have a man or a vibrator with you when you read it.”

In the candy aisle, I felt someone looking at me. Turning my head, I gazed past a man standing near me. A very nice looking man, but I ignored him, or at least I tried to. His green eyes locked on mine. Warmth and tingles spread throughout my body causing my knees to go weak. The man’s face held sharp features, and his sultry lips rewarded me with a demure smile. I would’ve loved to feel them on mine. He stepped closer to me. My heart rate spiked. Nodding to the shelf in front of us, he focused in on something and reached for it. He stopped mid-reach, and our gazes met again. His arm lowered. I knew I couldn’t look away, and I had a feeling he couldn’t either. I bit my bottom lip, and I saw him take notice. He leaned in close to me, mouth parted to speak.
“Excuse me,” a voice requested. We stepped away from each other so the woman behind us could retrieve candy from the shelf. She sure took her time. Separated by the woman, I kept glancing over at the man. He, too, continued to gaze my way. There was something about him; he made something stir inside me.
