An Enigmatic Taste: Ten of the Kinkiest Science Fiction Books You'll Ever Read


I was thinking about two of my favorite things today: kink and Science Fiction.

I've always enjoyed fantasies that combine both. Both stretch the imagination in new unexplored territories. Combined, they can be a double whammo.

Hmm have you ever looked at the photos from those Sci Fi geeky conventions and noticed just how many sexy costumes there are? Oh yes, ooodles.

Sometimes I wonder how my brain started to combine both.

Perhaps it was the fact that the first kinky/BDSM books I came across happen to be from the Gorean universe. Perhaps.

Well, I was thinking of kink and Science Fiction and thought I would share a delightful list I found on the net today.

I've read three out of the list of ten. Some that I haven't read sound intriguing...
and some sound rather hilarious.

It mentions one of my ever faves, Jacqueline Carey's Kushiel's Dart.
More on the Kushiel Legacy series later, kinky folks.

Enjoy,
Angel


Ten Of The Kinkiest Science Fiction Books You'll Ever Read

By Annalee Newitz

When you finally sneak away from family gatherings this weekend, you're going to want some adult science fiction to take your mind off things. That's why we've got the ultimate holiday counterprogramming for you: 10 kinky science fiction novels that you can hide in your book bag or e-book reader and enjoy late at night when the kids and parents are in bed.

Kushiel's Dart, by Jacqueline Carey
The first novel in a trilogy about Phedre, a spy/courtesan whose two superpowers include learning languages really quickly and a preternatural ability to experience pain as intense sexual pleasure. You'd be surprised how many times erotic masochism comes in handy as Phedre and her fighting monk sidekick journey through an alternate history of the middle ages. Can they stop an evil takeover of the sexually-liberated kingdom of Terre d'Ange? This is one of those rare books that is a good adventure mixed with really hot sex scenes.
Kinks: Sadomasochism.

The Witching Hour, by Anne Rice
The first and by far the best of Anne Rice's interminable Mayfair Witches series, The Witching Hour is the tale of a powerful, randy demon named Lasher who has attached his fate to a family of Louisiana witches. Full of the gothy, historical-crunchy goodness that made Rice a superstar before that whole Jesus thing, this novel is about Lasher's mega-hot dalliance with our main character (he's polymorphous and invisible - you do the math), as well as the history of his love affairs with her ancestors going back several generations. Witchy ladies and sexy ghosts in Louisiana? You can't say no.
Kinks: Mind-control sex, incest.

Returning Creation (from the High Couch of Silistria series), by Janet Morris.
If you like to see ladies brought low, and then raised up to be worshipped, and then brought low again, then the "High Couch of Silistra" series is for you. Set on a planet of psychically-gifted people who embrace sexual diversity and peace, the series is focused mainly on sexual slavery and war. Our heroine is a prostitute (a noble calling on her world) who holds the "high couch" of her town - basically, she's the sex duchess. Unfortunately she's always being kidnapped or taken to other worlds where she's tied up, forced to have degrading sex, and (of course) has lots of tearful, shame-faced orgasms. Silly and pulpy, the first novel in the series is basically a swashbuckler with kinky bondage thrown in between sword fights. Also, there is a giant flying cat.
Kinks: Sexual slavery, bondage.

Gorean Saga, by John Norman
The 26 novels in John Norman's Gorean Saga no doubt inspired the "High Couch" series by Morris, as well as influencing an entire generation of kinky nerds who love to tie each other up and play slavery games. "Goreans" have been acting out their BDSM fantasies online since the days of text-only chat rooms, and they were the first group to buy an island in virtual world Second Life. Find out what all the fuss is about by checking out these novels about a nerdy academic who travels to a parallel world called Gor where all women are in bondage and all men can have their way with these collared, scantily-clad lovelies. All the Gor books are available in e-book form here.
Kinks: Sexual slavery, bondage.

Extraterrestrial Sex Fetish, by Supervert
A demented, hilarious, and theory-geekish tale of Mercury De Sade, who fancies sex with aliens and sets out to tell you, the reader, exactly how to get what you want out of every possible type of alien creature. Creepy in parts, this isn't really a book intended to get you off so much as to make you think about the mechanism of desire itself. Packed with weird interpretations of French philosophy related to alien life, this is a book that will take your breath away if you get off on post-structuralism and humping ET.
Kinks: French philosophy, sex with aliens.

Touched by Venom (from Dragon Temple Saga), by Janine Cross
If you want the full effect of these sexy-disturbing novels, you really have to read all three of them. Zarq is a young woman on a planet where dragons are sort of like a combination of cows, horses, and heroin. The winged creatures are a form of transportation, but people also eat their eggs and their super-addictive venom, which turns them into blissed-out, horny sluts. And even better than eating venom, which grows on dragon tongues? Well, it's actually having those dragons stick their venom-tongues deep inside your you-know-what place.
Kinks: Bestiality, drugs.

Lilith's Brood, by Octavia Butler

More alien sex awaits you in Butler's trilogy about an alien species that wants to merge with humans on a biological level. The aliens have three sexes, and their third sex has the ability to tap into your nervous system and give you the most amazing braingasm you've ever had. It can also remix genetic material to create human-alien hybrids. These novels are smart, politically-charged tales of what happens when humanity is colonized. But they also contain several scenes that manage to be both erotic and integral to our characters' development.
Kinks: Mind control sex, incest, tentacles.

The Pleasure Tube, by Robert Onopa
A guilty pleasure, Onopa's novel is about a conspiracy on board a special ship called "the pleasure tube," where you experience perfect happiness and sexual fulfillment while your brain is plugged into a computer. Mostly it's just a 1970s cheesefest, filled with lots of drugs and interchangeable hot ladies in crazy outfits. But there are also a lot of fun "we will plug this into your brain's pleasure centers" moments too.
Kinks: Swinging, cybersex.

The Velderet, by Cecilia Tan
If you've never experienced Tan's erotic science fiction writing, then you are in for a treat. Not only does she write the hottest kinky SF you've ever read, but she even runs a small press called Circlet that's devoted to erotic SF books. The Velderet is one of her masterpieces, about two people who go into a virtual world to find partners for the BDSM sex that's forbidden on their repressive planet. But then a race of aliens arrive to conquer their planet, and not only do these aliens practice kinky sex, but it's the foundation for their entire social system. So our kinky outlaw heroes are the best-equipped people on the planet to deal with the alien menace. Come for the sex, but stay for the awesome tale of alien invasion. The Velderet is available as an e-book from Circlet.
Kinks: Sadomasochism, cybersex, gender-role swapping.

Saturn's Children, by Charles Stross
The tale of a sexbot trapped in a vast smuggling conspiracy, Stross' novel is a veritable wonderland of kinky fun. Our heroine Freya is designed to be a sexbot, so she experiences everything through the medium of sexuality, including spaceship rides and pretty much any humanoid she meets. Highly recommended, though be warned that the sex is mostly played for laughs rather than hotness.
Kinks: Incest, robot sex, sex with furniture, sex with spaceships, sex with anime characters.

Through An Enigmatic Looking Glass


So many thoughts of men. So many thoughts of women.

And so much in between.

I've been taking a mini hiatus from all things kinky lately, as I've been thinking of the dark path I've walked so far.

So many questions and more questions. Often I am surprised by the answers.

What do I want? So many things. And very little. There is a simplicity to my thoughts.
And a multi-layered complexity as well. I am ever a contradiction. In this, and in other aspects of my life.

I was reading a piece of writing filled with yearning tonight and it made me think of my own dark desires. Those I've tasted. Those I've fantasized about. Those that were not meant to be. Those that I left behind. Those that did not evolve as I evolved.

Where do I go from here, I ask myself.

There are so many voices out in the BDSM bloggers' universe, filled with so many different emotions. And different desires.

What we all have in common is our need to be heard, perhaps.

This enigmatic little place is one. With the sound of my enigmatic voice. Truth be told, at times I am even an enigma to myself. But that's not a bad thing. It's exciting, this discovery and unveiling.

I don't know where I'll go tomorrow.
But I'll post a postcard from the next enigmatic spot in my dark voyage.

Later, my kinky readers.

enigmatic dance


You & I
oh what an enigmatic mix

when I look in your eyes
I see a reflection of me
and my own eyes
hold a reflection of you

we mirror each other

our hands dip
together
tracing the bossanova beat
that lazily passes through
the air
and us

we don't even need words

the smile is the same
the raised eyebrow is the same
the slightly wicked laugh
that promises bad things under the moonlight
is the same
the soft sigh that slips out
is the same

even the names are not important
when the basic nature
is the same

there is no need to speak
when it feels so good to savour the mystery

there is no need for questions
when there are plenty of answers
in the movement, the sway of the body, the eyes knowing look

ah

this is what happens
when you let yourself be free
one enigma to another
floating on an enigmatic sea...

***Angel
(inspired by one of Sinner's sinful songs)

An Enigmatically Dynamic Education: Marketplace Author Laura Antoniou & Educator Midori ~ Authentic Power Dynamics and D/s Workshops


Be still my kinky heart.

I am always on the prowl to see where interesting BDSM Workshops are offered around the world. Recently, I added a new category to my Enigmatic Angel Lists blog: Tasty Courses & Workshops Around The World.

And of course, I have long been aware of Midori's workshops around the world. Many local BDSMers have participated in her Rope Dojo workshops. And I've been subscribed on her mailing list forever.

And yes, I did know that Laura Antoniou and educator Midori were well-acquainted, seeing as Midori wrote an introduction to one of my favorite Laura Antoniou Marketplace books.

But here is an item sent to me through the calender listings of Midori's mailing list,
that almost made my kinky heart stop:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

NEW! D/S PROTOCOL WEEKEND WITH LAURA ANTONIOU & MIDORI
(Washington DC & Toronto)

WHAT: "Passionate Bonds: Weekend Intensive for Conscious D/s & Protocol"

WHERE / WHEN:
2 Locations / Dates

- November 6 – 8, Washington DC
- November 20 – 21, Toronto, Canada

COST: $450 first person in the order. $400 for each additional individual.
Registration for both locations open September 18th at
http://www.FHP-inc.com/classes.php


Join Marketplace author Laura Antoniou and educator Midori for a special weekend
intensive designed for people who enjoy authentic power dynamics and D/s,
who want to consciously create quality relationships that suit their
personal hungers and needs in the context of the real world.

Far beyond what you can learn from a book or a standard seminar,
participants will be guided through a special curriculum designed to
clearly identify their value system, behavior preferences and relationship goals.

Through the unique curriculum and its innovative tools, each individual or
relationship unit will create their own customized manual of effective protocol,
rules, etiquettes and codes of conducts.

Class size will be strictly limited to allow for a unique quality experience
emphasizing individualized attention.

Q&A

Q. Do I need to bring a partner?
A. No! Anyone may attend, partnered or not.

Q. I am fairly new and my partner and I are exploring options. Is this for me?
A. This is perfect for you; come on in and discover your passions.

Q. I have been in the Scene for a while and I have considerable experience.
Can this be helpful for me?
A. Absolutely. Crystallize your experience and desires into a tangible and
intentional format, which will allow for greater success in your current and
future relationships. Come and reacquaint yourself with the dreams and desires
that brought you into the scene, and find out things about yourself and
your partner(s) you might not have seen before.

Q. My primary and I have a submissive – can all three of us come?
A. Pricing for this intensive is purposefully set to allow for “relationship units”
of every size; this is by no means ‘couples only’!

Q. Is this a play event? Will there be play parties?
A. While the Passionate Bonds weekend won’t be hosting play parties,
the local play space will be great to go and explore. The weekend’s emphasis
is on the heart and mind of creating an on-going D/s-based relationship,
so get plenty of sleep and be prepared to think! There will be sections
where physical actions of protocol will be studied and acted out.
Beyond that, we encourage the attendees to create their own playtime as
part of the weekend.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

OK there is the very first item for my Enigmatic Angel Wish List:

  • 1 pass for the November 20 – 21, Toronto, Canada, workshop!

Spoil me with this, my enigmatic admirers, and you will become my new kinky best friend!

Kinky kisses,
Angel
