Okay, that’s the latest from us. Thanks in advance for your patience while we weather this out, and for reading this. We love you all. Six weeks to the day after his daughter’s birth, Tom was in his room. He sat at his computer, playing a favourite game of his. He always smirked to himself a little when he played with his friends. He was a Daddy, and the other guys had no idea! It made him feel good, somehow. He had a massive, satisfying secret that only he and Kate knew.Hard limits are sexual acts that are off-limits. Everyone has their own, and you have to discuss these boundaries before any BDSM play. Use it in a sentence: “Please do not pee on me; golden showers are one of my hard limits.” Over the following four years, Kate continued having her stepson’s children, dutifully squeezing out every single one he put in her. There would be no abortions. There would be no protection. Kate gave birth to a girl. Then another one. Then a third. Then, finally, a boy. A golden shower is when you lovingly shower your partner with your piss. It’s high time for the BDSM community to reclaim this word from Donald Trump, who, may I remind you, allegedly paid sex workers to pee on a bed that Obama slept in out of spite. This is not the same thing as a golden shower. Kink is for smart people. The thought crossed Tom’s mind, some nights, laying in his bed – his second daughter had begun her life right there. He slept every night in the spot where a little baby’s life had started. He didn’t know what he thought of that, but it was this thought that led to yet another indecent chapter of the affair…

With that, Tom made sure to impregnate his Mommy for an eleventh time before leaving home. Kate was proud of her boy, and of what he’d made her body into. She felt like the perfect little breeding slut, an exclusive womb just for her little boy. Tom had obtained a high-paying job elsewhere. He tearfully bid his family goodbye, giving his mommy’s belly a kiss. When he left, little Tom had fathered eight girls and two boys with his dearly beloved Mommy. The final child in her belly was a boy. The house was simply too crowded – the decision was for Tom to move out, at least for the time being. He bode them farewell. While others in his senior year stressed about their relationships post-high-school, Tom was smiling to himself about the sixth kid he’d squirted into his hot stepmom. He sat in class, thinking of how Kate would give birth again right around when he finished school for good. His excitement stemmed not from fathering a child with Kate for the sixth time, but because this one was a boy. Tom had wondered if he was only capable of fathering daughters, but now that question had been answered. Born at home, the baby was named James. Kate couldn’t help wondering if the baby boy would grow up to be a well-hung stud like his Daddy. This provocative collection will leave you tied to your chair...[A] groundbreaking collection of short stories that explore desire, love, BDSM, and consent...Co-edited by acclaimed novelists R.O. Kwon and Garth Greenwell, Kink...features stories by Roxane Gay, Alexander Chee, Carmen Maria Machado, and others—that explore desire, love, BDSM, and consent. The book seeks not only to lay bare non-normative physical intimacy, but to change the cultural conversations surrounding it. Yes, there are ropes and riding crops, but the beauty lies in capturing the emotionality as well as the eroticism." — O MAGAZINE We have been raised to fear the yes within ourselves, our deepest cravings,” says Audre Lorde in Uses of the Erotic, her foundational essay on power and bodies. A little later, she adds: “The fear of our desires keeps them suspect and indiscriminately powerful, for to suppress any truth is to give it strength beyond endurance.”

BDSM is all about enthusiastic consent. The dominant partner won’t step on their submissive’s head and then shove it into a toilet without a big ole’ “yes, please!” What can result, of course, is a lot of shame. A lot of hiding and denial, a lot of misery, of loneliness. My co-editor and I are on the side of increased openness, and when we talked about what our anthology should look like, we realized it was of high importance to us both that we refrain from defining kink. Instead, we hoped to include as large a variety of perspectives as possible, and to open, to expand, rather than to close any gates. Kink is a dynamic anthology of literary fiction that opens an imaginative door into the world of desire. The stories within this collection portray love, desire, BDSM, and sexual kinks in all their glory with a bold new vision. The collection includes works by renowned fiction writers such as Callum Angus, Alexander Chee, Vanessa Clark, Melissa Febos, Kim Fu, Roxane Gay, Cara Hoffman, Zeyn Joukhadar, Chris Kraus, Carmen Maria Machado, Peter Mountford, Larissa Pham, and Brandon Taylor, with Garth Greenwell and R.O. Kwon as editors.

Inside Kate, little Tom’s virile young swimmers did what they were meant to. The young boy wasn’t just well-endowed – his sperm already had the power to father children. Ultimately, it didn't matter that they were a stepmom and her son. It didn’t matter that they had a sixteen-year age gap. It didn't matter that Tom wasn't even old enough to drive. What mattered was that he was fully capable of squirting a child into his hot stepmother’s belly. Even so, while working on this book, I found I often had to quell, ignore, bully and shove aside fears sharp enough to manifest as panic. Every writer I know seems to experience alarm upon publishing a book – it is an act of profound vulnerability, and how much more so, I have at times thought, to publish a book centered on what has historically been judged unacceptable. Has, so often, been considered filth. Soon, we had initial promises of contributions from writers we admire including Melissa Febos, Kim Fu, Roxane Gay and Carmen Maria Machado. We reached out to more people, and in time, almost everyone we solicited said yes; the enthusiasm was as startling as it was moving. As still more writers sent us work, and as the collection came together, I loved how wide-ranging the stories turned out to be, how vast the theater of human desire. Kink is a groundbreaking anthology of literary short fiction exploring love and desire, BDSM, and interests across the sexual spectrum, edited by lauded writers R.O. Kwon and Garth Greenwell, and featuring a roster of all-star contributors including Alexander Chee, Roxane Gay, Carmen Maria Machado, and more.Kate felt a little guilty as her pregnancy progressed. God, I’m such a degenerate, aren’t I? she thought. With how things had gone, Sophie would be less than a year older than her sibling. Guess this is what happens when I’m a shameless slut. Zentai is a skintight Japanese body suit typically made of spandex and nylon. It can cover the entire body, including the face. Dance teams or athletes may wear Zentai, but some people get off on the sensation of having their entire body bound in tight fabric, and wear it for kinky reasons.
