Ask Boot... something.

I’m trying to get back into writing. It’s difficult; my other self keeps demanding the use of our brain for ‘work’ and other wastes of time. But right now, the brain is mine, so I want to write.

And while I have no inspiration (someone please make a request!), I do have something I can do. I can ask myself questions. So I present to you another Ask Boot:

What kind of boots do you like?

The kind people wear. Especially girls. I’m pretty sure I’m at least mostly straight.

Okay, that was a whole lot of qualification. You want to explain that?

My sexuality? Sure. That’s not where I thought you were going; I was all ready to start describing a sexy pair of boots. But this is good too. Probably better.

Ask Boot: consent

Having some inspiration trouble lately... help would be appreciated.

Ask Boot: Consent

Ask Boot: Finding your Fetish

Dear Boot:

Lately, I've been exploring my sexuality. I think I might have a fetish, but I'm not sure.

If you think you, you do. It's not about the medical or clinical definition of fetish. If there's something that you connect to sex that other people don't, it's probably a fetish. That doesn't mean whatever your fetish may be is required to get you turned on. If it gets you more turned on, that's enough.

Wait. You mean anything that turns me on is a fetish?

No, not as such. I mean, straight men are turned on by a naked woman. Duh. That's not a fetish; that's heterosexuality. And preferring blondes over brunettes doesn't mean you have a fetish (just bad taste).

So where's the line?

Ask Boot: Female Supremacy

So are women better than men?
 No.

Oh, so you're saying men are better than women?
Nope.

I'm confused.
It's a matter of the law of the excluded middle. There's another option. Saying that one gender is inherently superior to the other is sexist. Saying women are better than men is just as sexist as saying men are better than women; it's just a bit more rare to hear. I don't think that's what you're really asking though; why not rephrase a bit?

Okay. What's the deal with female supremacy? Do you agree with it?
Better. Much better. Let's talk about that.

Ask Boot: Pain is(not) pleasure

So... time for another round of Ask Boot. If you have any questions for Boot, ask them either here or privately. He likes talking about things, and loves answering questions.

Soon we'll be back to fiction, maybe with more of Moriarty, maybe with something else. There's a request for a story about a nun (and an older one at that). Might head that way. Might answer any other request you people would care to make. 

In the meantime....

Ask Boot: pain and pleasure

Ask Boot: How to be submissive

Been a while since you’ve done this, Boot. Are you sure you still have things to say?

Is that your question? Really?

No. Just making conversation. Sorry. What I wanted to ask was about being submissive.

Good. I know a lot about that.

You wrote a column once about the rules for being a new Dominant. What are the rules of being a new submissive?

That’s a great question.

Thanks.

You’re welcome. Let me see if I can answer it the same way I did before:

7 Rules for a new Submissive

Ask Boot: How to handle a pouty sissy

Dear Boot: I am having trouble with my sissy maid Emily. She likes to dress as a woman, attend events, and unlike most sissy maids, she does not like being called a boy (even when in boy's dress for work). She is poor to useless at her maid duties, but she pouts and sulks a lot when told off. I've kept her boy-clit in a cage for 7 months, but nothing seems to be working. How do I humiliate her?

Well, there's a lot of question there. And, I think, there's a problem with how you refer to her. I'm not entirely sure that Emily is a sissy.

What do you mean?

Ask Boot (all about himself)

That's right. It's about me. Am I selfish? Yes. But what does that have to do with anything?

So who are you, anyway?

I'm going to assume you aren't asking about who I really am. We've talked about that not being okay. You don't need to know what I do in my real life. You don't even need to know what I write when I'm not Boot LS. So what, exactly, are you asking?

How did you get into BDSM?

Ask Boot: More about humiliation

Dear Boot,
I understand might cause a person to desire pain (which causes a rush of feel-good endorphins) and what might cause a person to desire Master or Mistress/slave relationships , but can you explain what is behind the desire for humiliation (for instance, being ridiculed for having a small cock)? What is the appeal to those who crave humiliation? What is going on in the head of the humiliated, from a neuropsychological perspective?

Okay... first let me dust off my neuropsychology PhD... where did I put that? Let's see... no, it's not among my other forged documents. I guess I lost it. No trouble; I'll just make a new one. But in the meantime, let's see what I can put together without any actual expertise.

Ask Boot (for real this time!)

I actually got a real question, from someone who is NOT me (I promise) for today's column.

Before I get to it, though, I need your opinion: would you rather a shorter book of Boot's Fairy tales or a longer book of Fairy Tales and Fantastic Stories? The difference is whether or not to include Becoming a Monkey Girl (And its sequel) and Finally a Girl Again. It would also be a matter of price; longer is more expensive.

And whichever you choose... what kind of picture would you like to see on the cover? Which story would be best represented?

Okay, on to Ask Boot:

What is the deal with all the pomp and circumstance, the rituals in BDSM? What is the appeal, from a submissive point of view?

In Soviet Russia, Boot Asks YOU!

This blog has been around now for almost four months. For most, that would be really young. But with more than 120 posts in those four months, and more than 5800 visits, it's been a wild ride so far. If we count this post today (and we do, since I'm the one who makes up these rules), I have posted something every day for the past 84 days.

Oh, and if you live in the Minneapolis area, and you'd like to meet me, see some awesome art, and possibly sign up for cool stuff, there's an event you can come to: ASA and DNP massive studio sale . I'm going to be there on Friday from 8-12pm and on Saturday from 12-6pm. Could be awesome, especially if you come.

I have things I want to ask you guys, as my loyal readers. Once I've done that, I'm going to go ahead and ask myself a few questions. Come on, it'll be fun!

First and foremost: what do you want to see here? Do you want more novel-parts? More sequels? More 'Ask Boot' columns? More fairy tales? I need more requests. More requests means more erotica.

Ask Boot: Insane, Unsafe, but still consensual

Hey Boot, I've got a question. How come people fantasize about things that aren't really possible? Things they can't really do, things they may not even really want to do. Why do people like that?

I'm glad you asked.

Some people only fantasize about things they can do. Their fantasies are like plans. Try this, think about that. Try it on for size, and then try it for real. "I don't have fantasies, I make phone calls" might be the order of the day for them. And that's great.

Ask Boot part three: becoming a Dom

Hey Boot... you seem pretty brilliant and awesome. I'm just starting to get into this whole BDSM thing, and I need help. I think I'm a Dom, but I don't know what I'm doing. How do I start?

I'm glad you asked. And so nicely. But seriously, I think this whole joke is starting to get old. So let's knock it off with the awesome routine, okay?

But you asked an important question. So let's talk about it. Let's talk about...

7 rules for a new Dom

Ask Boot (2)

So what's the deal with humiliation?

I get asked that question a number of times. (zero is a number). And I know what you're thinking: Why would someone as awesome as you like to be humiliated?

You'd think I'd get tired of that joke.

But let me get more specific, because humiliation is a huge topic. So to narrow it down: When is humiliation okay, and when is it not?

Excellent question. I'm glad you asked. You're pretty awesome yourself.

Ask Boot (the first)

Apparently, I know what I'm talking about. Or, at least, I've managed to convince some people that I know what I'm talking about. Hard to say. Whatever the case, every so often, someone asks me a question about bdsm, about fetish, about kink in general. They ask me like I know, and I do my best to answer them, with the understanding that I don't know everything.

So I'm going to add a new feature to the blog. Ask Boot. You ask questions, I'll do my best to answer them. Like an advice column, only written by someone who usually writes erotica for people, rather than someone with actual credentials.

Got a question? Ask away.

For today's installment, I want to talk about the topic nearest and dearest to me: boots.
