Ooooooh. Oh. [HUH. Looks at the back cover again with a wrinkle in her nose.] I mean, you'd think that would be obvious? Why should anyone put up with a person who doesn't ask what you do or don't want?
You would think. But shockingly putting someone in total control of your body when it’s in a vulnerable position can bring out the asshole in some people.
[ she taps the spine of the book. ]
This one was weirdly popular for a time. I guess because this kind of thing wasn’t mainstream media? So, it was exciting for some people.
[This. Sits ill with Rosamund, yes, as someone who has been wrestling with self-determination vs. outside forces controlling her for forever. Perhaps this is very much to the left of her personal journey but also hateful to learn there are NEW WAYS to rob someone of their agency.]
Done right? The whole things all about trust, fun and enjoyment, for both people involved. That's the point of it. But it's that thin line between taking that trust and respecting it, and just doing what you want with it -- and this isn't really doing the whole "treating that trust with respect" thing well.
