I totally agree with MJL second person is the worst! The only time I have ever written anything in the second person is when describing a real fantasy to my Dom.

First person is best when the writer is retelling the true story of something that happened to them. Otherwise I would rather have third person.

I have seen instances where second person, as a device, was used well and worked. It was never for an entire story, book or whatever. I can't remember which one it was, but Danielle Kitten has a story here, very well done, that used second person for a few paragraphs. The switch in POV took me by surprise, but I fell into her devilish trap and was caught. Some other readers took her to task for it.

Yank, thanks for the vote of confidence. :rose:

Oneguy, I'm glad you're getting something out of this thread as well. :) What would you think if the Dom used her skills to seduce a female sub? Or even if the female sub was the Dom's primary focus, but there were males helping/acting as alpha subs? Does the gender of the sub affect your enjoyment at all?

A good seduction story turns me on even if it is a female that is being seduced. Often times I can picture myself in the female's position or sharing the same emotion's as the female. Also, even though I am not dominate, the image of a female sub being dominated by a female is very very thrilling for me. I love to know that she is excited and aroused at being dominated and helpless. I don't think it would be exciting for me if it was a male doing the domination.

You hit on one of my top fantasies. I love the idea of being a sub along with a female sub. However, I imagine the female sub being dominated and helping to dominate me.
