Explorations: Books 6-10

In the second collection of EXPLORATIONS, the story starts on Emily's and Charles' D/s honeymoon and moves to the beginning of their D/s marriage back home in Connecticut. Emily is punished at last for her self-abuse, and receives a taste of the training she has craved for so long--right where she has craved it. Back home, Emily and Charles play a XXX Greek myth, and watch a strange "training" video from Prophettown, a BDSM religious community. "The Prophet's Way: The Marriage Bed" begins a journey into the erotic customs of Prophettown that will take Emily's fantasies to the darkest edges of her imagination.

These books of Explorations contain fiction elaborating the following sorts of fantasies that you may wish to avoid: Mf, MFf, Ff, anal, spanking, dominance and submission, religious pornography, toys. All characters depicted are consenting adults.

The Explorations series is a unique take on BDSM above all because of the strong individual voice of Emily Tilton herself, manifestly shaping the fantasy-elaborations of the series. Because Emily is interested in helping herself and others understand how BDSM can be lived within a mostly vanilla existence, the way most of us have to live it, Explorations has a unique element that Emily hopes will set it apart and make it useful: Emily has created a fantasy-version of herself (keeping to the tropes of the genre she knows so well, fantasy-Emily is an eighteen-year-old virginal bride with a self-abuse "problem"), whose fantasies and "realities" are the central subject of the stories of Explorations--but the real Emily also keeps her authorial, real voice in the margins, explaining and analyzing, and revealing from time to time the much more mundane, real version of the things Emily has transformed in the story of her fantasy-self. This doubling of the "I" in the first-person narrative of Explorations makes the series worth exploring all on its own. Come for the hot, dark, edgy, D/s, spanking, anal action. Stay for the exploration.
