My analysis of the effect of reading Snuff Island by Scouse on me.
by noimen
Whilst the introduction, taking the reader through the politics and background
of the story, was necessary it did seem a little slow in getting started. This
aside the premise for story seemed all too credible. Having a well-defined
foundation to the story helped by easing the suspension of belief for what was
to follow. It seems, at least for myself, that erotism benefits from being able
to place oneself in the situation mentally. It may be fantasy but if there is no
link to reality then the erotic side of the story would entirely miss the mark
as far as this reader is concerned. ‘Snuff Island’ by ‘Scouse’ successfully
cleared this first hurdle. The mixing of real events and story elements worked
very well even to the ‘Price Is Right’ parody towards the end. Although it
seemed that the latter part of the story seemed to have a little too much humour
to actually be successful as a turn-on.
I feel an opportunity was missed in the story when ‘Petra Mandelson’s’ meteoric
rise through Securicon and her subsequent manipulation of the ‘Chairman’ in
order to achieve control of ‘Snuff Island’ was brushed over somewhat. The erotic
charge that a manipulative female can generate in a story by twisting supposedly
powerful men to her whims was missed. It seemed a little to pat to have this
chief of a major company merely to fall into bed with his bright new rising star
and suddenly she is shipped off to take charge of the island. Perhaps she
uncovered some secret fetish
or some weakness that she used to her advantage... I shall never know. It did
cross my mind that someone does not become chairman of a global company without
being able to control and manipulate people. A missing element that could have
been, for me at least, another arousing factor.
Now to the story proper, some ten- percent of the way into the piece, the true
nature of Petra appears. It is now that the first real stirring of the erotic
presents itself with her domination of the hapless ‘Mike’. His biggest crime it
seems was to be in the wrong place at anytime. He is controlled with the carrot
of life...his ultimate punishment being death. As he is made to undress the tone
of the piece becomes
more like the story I had expected and it is executed (forgive the term) rather
well. It would have aroused me to a greater extent if Petra had taken her time
and her pleasure in assaulting and abusing Mike prior to using him as a sex toy.
In my experience with dominant ladies a great deal of their pleasure is making
the slave wait and suffer, unsure of to what use he is to be put. Teasing and
denial play a major role that is pretty much glossed over in this short story.
This comment seems to hold true for the majority of the story with a great deal
of time being spent on a killing fetish. A fetish that is possibly the natural
conclusion of forced femdom. The ultimate power over someone is that of life or
death. Unfortunately this is an area which far beyond any limits I myself would
ever agree to. The death scenes while embodying every element of forced control
required to be erotic somehow completely leave me flaccid. It is the threat of
pain and torture that I find stimulating. Not the killing of pathetic prisoners
for amusement. It is far
more exciting to me to be in the hands of a sane dominatrix than at the mercy of
a mass murderer.
On the whole I found the story very readable it was only on the odd occasion
that it manage to stir my sexual desire. Suzy and Mandy’s session with the two
prisoners holding the best of these. The forced arse licking and the cleaning
out of Mandy’s boyfriend spent semen causing a major erection in this reader.
This was the one point in the story I really felt I could get into. I was
aroused by these acts and by
their account being given from the third person perspective, that of Suzy. In
fact the whole scene worked well for me until the death scene. This again raised
the same problem for me. Having recently lost a loved one perhaps it isn’t so
surprising that my views of death are so non-sexual.
All in all the story would probably work better as a longer affair like a novel
or novelette as there did seem to be areas where it might profit from even more
detail and extra elements, such as the teasing mentioned previously. Alternately
concentrating on one group in the story and developing it to a point where there
is more erotic content may have improved things. The fate of the prisoner
‘Danny’ and his memory full of facts is left unclear. I felt some conclusion for
him would have been better though judging by the way the rest of the story went
I can probably guess where the author would have went.
The jumping from one set of characters to another over the short story in some
ways diminished the erotic content for me. Reading this sort of story for me has
one main objective to be turned on. I felt the stop start nature of the story
worked against the desired building to a climax. Perhaps the author was himself
practising a little tease and denial. Ultimately the whole story didn’t work for
me, though as mentioned this may be for my own personal reasons rather than some
major writing flaw. Goodness knows the story contained some very well thought
out factors and some interesting moments. I just found the death thing a turn
off I’m afraid.
