Wow!! I am not usually into straight-centered sadistic wife stories but this one really is in a different league. The narrator's descent into complete submission is lovingly narrated, the balance between cruelty and affection is subtle and well done. My favourite bits:

- the descriptions of pain/pleasure switch and trance states ( in my own experience this is the most intriguing, rewarding and scary part of any S/M - as opposed to D/S relationship)

- the allusions to De Sade and Masoch (ritualised repetitive proceedings and the switch from telling a story to acting it out in more and more extreme ways) I don't know whether they were intentional, but they kept me very happy.

Hi Stan,

Thanks for your kind comments about the story "Necktie Party".

The story was written by my wife, although it was posted under my username. She refuses to set up her own account, and she's the boss, in more ways than one, if you know what I mean.

I thought her first effort at writing a story like that was just too good to keep to ourselves, so finally talked her into allowing me to submit it to the Eunuch Archive. I hope others agree that it's worth reading.

We're looking forward to seeing posts from other readers so we can gauge their opinions. If she comes away from this first experience with a positive feeling, she'll soon be exploring some other story ideas.

That could be either good or bad for me, I guess. I'm the only "canvas" she has at her disposal for giving certain things a tryout. Ouch!

I have always wondered why it is so erotic to have your neck squeezed. I know putting a dog collar snug around a guy's neck will make him horny as hell. For your wife to figure that out and use it on you is really very good. Has she tried putting a strong leather dog collr on you with the buckle right at the throat and then using you? Whenever you move your head at all the collar feels tighter. Nice thing about this is she can make it pretty snug without endangering the man being used. Once it is in place it doesn't change, whereas the danger of controlling the necktie can lead to suffocation. I knwo this is part of the thrill, but I believe the simple act of placing a collar on a male has the same erotic effect. And she can leave it on when you are not having sex. I liked the stories. She is a good writer. Well, an excellent writer, to be truthful.

I, too, am not normally drawn to straight stories. But to every rule there is an exception -- and this story is exceptional. I loved every line of it. Even knowing from the very first paragraph that snuff was the eventual ending, the pathway to it was very erotic and wonderful in its progression.

Thanks so much for convincing your wife to have it posted.

Hi Stan, Yankee Masha, and Allen,

Now I'm in trouble for sure! Your positive response to Sharon's story has convinced her to proceed with her next effort, tentatively entitled "Hildi's Bench".

She's already given me the general outline, and I hope this one won't require any "research", as did her first story. I certainly don't mind a little friendly rope work and whipping between friends, but I'd rather not lose any more of my favorite toy. Those of you who have read the story I posted several months ago will know what I mean.

Anyway, she says "Thanks, guys!", and I concur, I guess.
