A Pain in my Ass - Explicit sex...

Ben Dover

If there is one thing I believe I have held fast all these years, it is the one that holds no shame in all the intricacies of the human mind, body, and soul. What intrigues me the most is how two or more people can create rhythms, music, trust, and bodily pleasure. No matter what debauchery society might try to bestow on those who seek a little bit of freedom using a natural and exciting mechanism, I offer no judgment. This book is a series of stories to “get the juices flowing” and probably allow you to be more comfortable with yourself and maybe your partner(s). Outlined is an array of adventures, kinky twists, and quirks you will enjoy. I know I certainly enjoyed curating them for you. 
This book is a no-holds-barred platform, and it is certainly not a euphemism for the soft, adulterated, hidden wantings of intimacy. 
It is a dive into the art of satisfying primal needs with drooling, tears, a tinge of unrepentant guilt, and, dare I say, pleasurable heavings, screams, and possible drownings as the best possible side effects. 
Between your wildest imaginations and a rather sultrily dexterous pen, shameless pleasure is the only goal. 
With you in mind, 
Ben Dover

A Discourse Upon The Origin And...

Jean-Jacques Rousseau

"A Discourse Upon the Origin and the Foundation of the Inequality Among Mankind" is a philosophical treatise by Jean-Jacques Rousseau, written in the mid-18th century. The book is a critique of social inequality and a proposal for a more just and equitable society.
In the book, Rousseau argues that the concept of inequality is not natural, but rather a product of social and political institutions. He proposes that in a hypothetical state of nature, before the development of civilization and society, humans were equal and free. However, with the emergence of societal structures such as property, laws, and government, inequality arose.
Rousseau proposes a social contract theory, where individuals voluntarily give up some of their natural freedom in exchange for protection and benefits provided by society. He argues that this social contract is the foundation of all legitimate political authority, and that the interests of the collective community (the general will) should take precedence over individual interests.
Rousseau also critiques the concept of private property, which he sees as a source of inequality and conflict, and proposes an educational system that emphasizes natural development and moral values, rather than formal education and social status.
Throughout the book, Rousseau emphasizes the importance of individual liberty and autonomy, and sees social inequality as a threat to these values. He proposes that justice requires the elimination of inequality and the establishment of a fair and equal society.
"A Discourse Upon the Origin and the Foundation of the Inequality Among Mankind" is considered one of the foundational texts of modern political philosophy and has had a significant influence on the development of political thought and social theory.
