It's Christmas Eve and Elust 168 is a gift that keeps on giving. We delve into a diverse range of topics within the realm of books, movies, erotic fiction, sex work, product reviews, and thoughtful insights on kink and relationships. From a book review of "Principle Decisions" by Thea Belmont, exploring BDSM themes and deep character exploration, to an examination of the Canadian psychological drama "I Love a Man in Uniform (1993)" and its exploration of obsession and control. Dive into reviews of erotic fiction, insights on kink and fetish, and product reviews covering various adult toys. Join me in opening up a Santa's sackful of erotica and sexuality.
Thanks to ChatGPT for a little help with the summaries to follow.
Books and Movies
Book Review: Principle Decisions by Thea Belmont
Sally Bend reviews "Principle Decisions" by Thea Belmont, praising its deep character exploration and BDSM themes. The protagonist, Vivienne, is a complex character whose journey into submission is both cathartic and reflective. Bend recommends the book for its engaging romance and thoughtful depiction of personal and relational dynamics.
I Love a Man in Uniform (1993): The Celluloid Dungeon
Celluloid Dungeon reviews a Canadian psychological drama, exploring how Henry Adler, a bank clerk turned actor, becomes increasingly obsessed with his police officer role in a TV cop show. As he immerses himself in his character and the accompanying uniform, he descends into a disturbing desire for control and intimidation, ultimately leading to tragic consequences.
Oz Bigdownunder reviews "Exit to Eden" by Anne Rice. Sadly it seems the book superficially handles its BDSM theme and transitions awkwardly from a kinky narrative to a conventional romance.

People With Penises Can Wear Strap-Ons Too!
Gabrielle Alexa Noel and Girly Juice on some sort of reality dating TV show and some excellent reasons why penis owners can, and should, use strap-ons. That "reality" show looks like prime evidence for no reality whatsoever being involved in reality tv. So they just put some couples in an apartment building and filmed them in the hope that they'd do something entertaining? What if they all got along fine and chilled out together. Maybe played a board game or took a nap. Wouldn't make very compelling television. It's scripted. All reality television is scripted.
