I really enjoyed reading this story and like many people who read it I like to think and hope that many elements are becoming more true in real life than we realise. The effect it had on me was to undermine my feelings of my own boyish masculinity and sexuality. As a pale skinned auburn haired 'male' I can identify with some of the characters mentioned and it has made me wish to behave in a more effeminate and submissive way. The image of the naked Black Alpha Male at the start of the story conditioned me wonderfully for what I was about to read.
