First post

I watched my DVD of "The Story of O" last night. What an erotic classic that story is. O starts as a novice and as she gets more in to it and gains experience she is able to lure her model friend in to becoming a submissive also. She not only is comfortable with her role but proclaims to Sir Stephen, "I am proud of what I've become" when he tells her she doesn't have to go to a party where she may be used by others. In the end she seems to go full circle and even though she remains very much the submissive she actually seems to control her Masters to a certain extent. The most erotic scene for me is seeing her outstretched and upraised arms bound by the wrists between two pillars as she is whipped by Norah, the maid. The expression on Norah's face afterward is perfect, one of physical and emotional exhaustion.

BTW, I have the 1975 edition with Corinne Clery as O.

Anybody else enjoy this flick as much as I do?

I'm going to amend a quote from Fitzsgeld.
"The Fench, they are different than us." I lived in France for two-plus years and I have had a French maid for years. I assure you that no truer words were ever spoken.

I find that I get on very well in France. Much better than in the Netherlands despite the Dutch and us in Belgium having a common language.

@agracier My reference was not to France culture or their treatment of foreigners but to the thought process of the French. Little things like the way the French drink wine. They not only savior it but also make love to it.

So we have women writing this erotica and why are so many women drawn to it? Why do they want to experience it?

@Master_Dorson I can't speak for all women but let me attempt to answer how I feel about "The Story of O". I have read many psychology sex surveys and studies. Many women have rape fantasies but I doubt that they really want to be raped. I have read accounts of professional dominatrixes. Most say their clients are powerful men that control everything during their work day. I believe that novels like "The Story of O" appeal to women's fantasies of loss of control. After all, a climax for a woman is a somewhat loss of control. "The Story of O" takes the loss of control fantasies to a different level. I loved it near the end when Sir Stephen tells O that she doesn't have to go to the party where she will be a sex slave to everyone there. She retorts. "I am proud of what I have become." She was proud of her transformation. I doubt that there are too many women that want to be sex slaves but the fantasy is exciting.

Probably the last thing on earth that I want is to have my labium pierced and be led into a party on the end of a gold chain, where I am to perform any sex act that the guest wants but I thought that the scene in the movie was hot. The way she stuck out her breasts and held her head high. I AM PROUD!

@ddell2 Thank you for your insightful response!

@Master_Dorson You are certainly welcome.

I also appreciate your post regarding the true identity of the author. I knew her real name but I didn't realize that she also had a working name.
