Book excerpt: "There is a compelling story to be told about the rise, fall, and transfiguration of the ideal of chastity, and Lisabeth During is the perfect person to tell it. In The Chastity Plot, During reveals how the obsession with chastity has played a powerful role in the history of our moral imagination. The metaphysics of purity continue to haunt literature, religion, and philosophy. The demand for chastity has shaped social institutions and figured in the construction of political power; sexual renunciation has been an ornament to sainthood and a technique of ascetics both sacred and profane"--

Download or read book The Chastity Plot written by Lisabeth During and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2021-04-23 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Chastity Plot, Lisabeth During tells the story of the rise, fall, and transformation of the ideal of chastity. From its role in the practice of asceticism to its associations with sovereignty, violence, and the purity of nature, it has been loved, honored, and despised. Obsession with chastity has played a powerful and disturbing role in our moral imagination. It has enforced patriarchy’s double standards, complicated sexual relations, and imbedded in Western culture a myth of gender that has been long contested by feminists. Still not yet fully understood, the chastity plot remains with us, and the metaphysics of purity continue to haunt literature, religion, and philosophy. Idealized and unattainable, sexual renunciation has shaped social institutions, political power, ethical norms, and clerical abuses. It has led to destruction and passion, to seductive fantasies that inspired saints and provoked libertines. As During shows, it should not be underestimated. Examining literature, religion, psychoanalysis, and cultural history from antiquity through the middle ages and into modernity, During provides a sweeping history of chastity and insight into its subversive potential. Instead of simply asking what chastity is, During considers what chastity can do, why we should care, and how it might provide a productive disruption, generating new ways of thinking about sex, integrity, and freedom.

Though John is anxious to have Laura back, with Christine now a permanent fixture in Laura's life, the terms of the relationship are about to radically change. Either John agrees to be submissive in a menage a trois with two dominant females, or he's out. Eager to stay in Laura's good graces John agrees to anything, including public humiliation, panty wearing, and Laura's unique punishment for unauthorized masturbation: a locking chastity device. She tricks him into putting it on, not telling him that Christine has the keys. Later he learns from Christine that a key has been hidden in his weekend bag all along. But now, the demanding Christine wants him to consciously choose to remain in chastity! John can't help wonder who's running the relationship, Laura or Christine? As the two femmes take charge, John is trained to serve their every whim, to call them mistress, and play their humiliating sexual games. When he fails to please this daunting duo, he suffers a variety of painful punishments from bondage to whipping to being sodomized with a strap-on. Despite the rough demands of his new life, John finds his surrendering role strangely pleasing, and highly erotic. All misgivings aside, he's still in love with Laura, and willing to slavishly serve both women in order to have her. But how long can this strange menage a trois survive? Will John ever have Laura to himself again? Is Christine really falling in love with him? Although John's journey into chastity has just begun, it's certain to take some curious twists as these two lovely, in charge females turn this wary college boy into their groveling slave.

This book was released on 2017-11-07 with total page 564 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ever Since Mistress Benay published her Award Winning Novel, "His Fall From Power," and then, the exciting and suspenseful Sequel to it, both in Kindle Format, she has been besieged with requests from her loyal readers to combine both Volumes in one Paperback Edition. Here for the first time, the Full Length Complete story of "His Fall From Power" is being published as a Beautiful Paperback.. Thomas McMillian was on Top of the World. As C.E.O. of a rapidly growing Electronics Company, he had it all. The Beautiful Wife, the Mansion in the Suburbs, the Fancy Foreign Cars, and Everything he could possibly wish for, until he made two mistakes which were going to cause him to lose everything. First he hired drop dead gorgeous Ashley Long to be his Executive Secretary, and then he betrayed his Wife, by having an affair with Ashley. Little did Thomas know, that those two mistakes would catapult him into his new role as a slave to his Wife and to his Secretary in this action packed novel filled with Corporate Intrigue and Sensual Relationships. Mistress Benay weaves a plot where the main character does not realize until it is too late that he has been led into a world of Male Chastity, Bondage, Bi-Sexual Relationships, Domestic Servitude, Discipline and Female Domination by the clever maneuvering of his Wife and his Secretary. After Betraying his wife by having an affair, Thomas McMillan now accepts the fact that his life will never be the same again, as his Beautiful wife, Doreen relegates him to the role as her 24/7 slave and maid. A role which Thomas could never have imagined would be filled with so much suffering and indignity. Female Domination, Male Chastity, Bi-Sexual Relationships, and Bondage & Discipline are an every day part of Thomas's new life now that he no longer is in charge of his Company, and has become a helpless slave to his wife, and to his former Secretary Ashley Long. Here is just one of the many Five Star Reviews this Novel has received: "The action in Mistress Benay's 'His Fall From Power' is well paced, often creative, and woman centered. Her style to me is measured and softly worded, rising to a crescendo, then deftly falling back to build again. 'His Fall From Power' is right up there among erotica written for women, by women, but tops my two favorite authors of female erotica, Anne Rice and Pauline Reage as, here, the woman does not suffer for love, but she commands it, demands it, and revels in the devotions a well trained male can provide."

Book Synopsis The Purity Myth by : Jessica Valenti
Download or read book The Purity Myth written by Jessica Valenti and published by ReadHowYouWant.com. This book was released on 2010-02 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States is obsessed with virginity - from the media to schools to government agencies. This panic is ensuring that young women's ability to be moral agents is absolutely dependent on their sexuality. Jessica Valenti, executive editor of Feministing.com and author of Full Frontal Feminism and Yes Means Yes, addresses this poignant issue in her latest book, The Purity Myth. Valenti argues that the country's intense focus on chastity is extremely damaging to young women. Through in depth analysis of cultural stereotypes and media messages, Valenti reveals that powerful messages - ranging from abstinence curriculum to ''Girls Gone Wild'' commercials - place a young woman's worth entirely on her sexuality. Morals are therefore linked purely to sexual behavior, as opposed to values like honesty, kindness, and altruism. Valenti approaches the topic head-on, shedding light on chastity in a historical context, abstinence-only education, pornography, and public punishments for those who dare to have sex, among other critical issues. She also offers solutions that pave the way for a future without a damaging emphasis on virginity, including a call to rethink male sexuality and reframing the idea of ''losing it.'' With Valenti's usual balance of intelligence and wit, The Purity Myth presents a powerful and revolutionary argument that girls and women, even in this day and age, are overly valued for their sexuality, and that this needs to stop.

Book Synopsis The Italian Novella and Shakespeare’s Comic Heroines by : Melissa Walter
Download or read book The Italian Novella and Shakespeare’s Comic Heroines written by Melissa Walter and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2019-08-22 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using a comparative, feminist approach informed by English and Italian literary and theatre studies, this book investigates connections between Shakespearean comedy and the Italian novella tradition. Shakespeare’s comedies adapted the styles of wit, character types, motifs, plots, and other narrative elements of the novella tradition for the Elizabethan and Jacobean stage, and they investigated social norms and roles through a conversation carried out in narrative and drama. Arguing that Shakespeare’s comedies register the playwright’s reading of the novella tradition within the collaborative playmaking context of the early modern theatre, this book demonstrates how the comic vision of these plays increasingly valued women’s authority and consent in the comic conclusion. The representation of female characters in novella collections is complex and paradoxical, as the stories portray women not only in the roles of witty plotters and storytellers but also through a multifaceted poetics of enclosed spaces – including trunks, chests, caskets, graves, cups, and beds. The relatively open-ended rhetorical situation of early modern English theatre and the dialogic form and narrative material available in the novella tradition combine to help create the complex female characters in Shakespeare’s plays and a new form of English comedy.
