This was just book 1, I very much look forward to reading more about these young women and their journey through love and kink. However, there are very sexy situations, outfits, and positions to get the gears of your imagination turning. Now, there isn’t a ton of super graphic nudity or pornographic scenes, sorry. I know you are coming into a lesbian BDSM book wanting some X rated material. That fresh love feeling is intoxicating and it oozes off these pages.īut don’t worry, as cute as this romance is it also is extremely sexy. I was giddy for them while I was reading it. Sunstone nails every single emotion that goes with being in a new and exciting relationship. But, as with any new relationship, they have to tread lightly and overthink everything every step of the way. They’re immediately compatible and know that they want this to continue. They both have butterflies in their stomaches but both want to appear strong and experienced. It is so adorable to watch as the panels go back and forth between the two women getting ready to meet. They’re going to finally enact all of their wildest fantasies together. Lisa is a sub who’s only fantasized about being involved in BDSM.Īlly and Lisa meet online and decide to finally meet in person. Ally is the dom who has all of the equipment a sex dungeon could ever ask for but hasn’t found a compatible sub yet. Sunstone is the safeword for Ally and Lisa, the couple in this graphic novel. The sub stays in control through the use of a safeword. They respect each other and always respect each others’ boundaries. The parties involved in this relationship build it out of love, friendship, and most of all trust. To keep it short, a long term relationship between a dominant and a submissive is not an abusive relationship under the guise of consent. It is not a representation of the true kink community and may very well have put the lives of many young women at risk of irreversable physical and emotional harm. I cannot tell you every way that the relationship popularized in these books and movies is toxic. This is what kink should be, and although it is definitely a safe and loving environment it is still very not suitable for younger audiences.īDSM relationships got a poularity boost from the absolutely abhorent Fifty Shades of Grey.

Sunstone is a magnificent graphic novel that demonstrates what the healthiest side of the BDSM world looks like. It’s at no extra cost to you and would help me a lot.
