i think there's really only one thing i need to say about this book regarding its contents, bc everything else was fine. nothing groundbreaking, but entertaining enough.
something that wasn't addressed at all when talking about the kinks explored in this book was sub drop and aftercare. im not an expert, so i wont try to go into detail, but i do think it's neglectful, and possibly harmful to have not done so. its as much a part of safe play as consent, trust, and safe words. when lukas abandoned vandy for those two weeks after their first interaction, its quite literally the worst thing he could have done from a real life standpoint. regardless of whether or not they had a "just sex" agreement with no strings attached, there are endorphins and hormones and vulnerabilities in play that simply cannot be ignored when engaged in safe play, and you'd expect these characters who are supposedly not new to that lifestyle to know that, talk about it, and respect it.
