Tied naked to a bed and then...



So, I was talking to a friend about having sex while tied up.  You know – the whole bondage deal which to me always seems weird but whatever turns you on. They recalled a time when a certain person had done exactly that- tied themselves to a bed and waited for their lover to find them.  My question is this – what if you get on a four-poster bed, naked, tie your feet up and tie one hand and then use a slip knot to pull tight the last knot so you are totally vulnerable? What if you lover doesn’t show…for hours…days…What if you have to pee? What if you forget your spinster, Great Aunt Beryl was coming over for arvo tea with her cat Tibbles and those soggy sultana scones you always hated? What if you’re friends haven’t heard from you in days and the police break in? What if, you are lying there wondering all this and thinking why didn’t I have an escape plan?  Hmmm…gotta wonder if it's all worth it.

Depravity…

Adj. 1. depraved - deviating from what is considered moral or right or proper or good;

So a newbie writer asked me what a publisher meant when they listed ‘no depraved acts’ in their submission guidelines. My learned response was ‘I dunno.’ If I had to take a guess I would say the publisher – and not just that one – says that to make them look less like they are accepting porn even if they know they are. You know, it’s like don’t run with scissors but we could if we wanted to and no rule is going to stop us.

What is depraved in the book writing-romance business where the most popular e-books out there are about one woman having sex with 5 men who become werewolves at night? Is that depraved? Multiple partners? Is having sex with step-sisters/brothers/parents depraved? Is shoving ones fist inside a woman’s vagina depraved? Is tying up a woman to break her will into submitting to whatever her punisher wants depraved? Is mock rape as titillation depraved? They’re all been written about and published right now. I would suggest depravity abounds.

“We will accept no stories depicting acts of depravity”…oh bullshit. Depravity sells. Publishers know it. My advice? If you’ve written something considered depraved submit it anyway. I bet the publisher takes it.
