It may be emotional to some aspect yes, but it is the utter lack of reality that ruins the whole story for me.
What I mean is this... This girl gets dropped off at this house by her boyfriend, is left there for, well quite some time. And who comes looking for her? No one. Not her friends, not her family. Nobody. At least not that I can recall.
Basically, if I am going to have something affect me, it's because it something that really could happen in reality. And I am not talking about JUST the submission, either. I am talking about the entire do-ability of the entire book. It's just someone's wild fantasy that, to me, is just that...a fantasy. If something is going to get to me it will be because I will honestky be able to say to myself "Hey! Yeah! That really could happen. That might be something I would do." But I find none of it possible.
And if that makes me less of a submissive than O because I want to keep my humanity, keep my own thoughts and mind, and not become an automaton, then I will be glad for that. But just because The Story of O doesn't throw me into rapture doesn't mean I will not or cannot submitt to the extent of abities.
Like my Master said, it is like Gor, it's a good story, but I will not...no sorry...cannnot give it any more than that.
And again, like my Master said (again) But that's just my opinion (adding my own) But because my opinion differs...that doesn't make it wrong
