Diary of an S & M Romance
Here it is…the first-ever adult title on Podiobooks.com.
Diary of an S and M Romance is the true story of a young widow reclaiming her life in a red-hot world of kinky sex. She’s a feminist doing things that many feminists would consider beastly, and loving every second of it. In “Diary of an S and M Romance”, Dollie Llama explores the complex connections between romantic sweetness and furious, nasty sex.
Part introspective journey of discovery, part tender love story.
Part manifesto of empowerment, part dirty dirty book.
“A refreshingly different book about an S and M relationship. The title ‘romance’ has been rightly chosen. Who should read “Diary of an S and M Romance”? All who have an interest in S and M.
– Marquis Magazine
“The book has a feeling of real intimacy. This very contemporary romance taps into the universality of all relationships.”
– Skin Two Magazine

Good on the authors for writing their book, not my cup of tea but that’s OK. I do take exception to the author’s chosen nom de plume “Dollie Llama” though. I love irreverent humour but I consider that name choice in poor taste. We are not amused.

which assertion’s true?

Chapter 3 is 16 seconds long; I fear it may be corrupted.

Chapter 3 loaded on my I-Tunes at 23.35 minutes. It played just fine.

Great sound! Great content! Sexy woman reading sexy material! What more could you want? Loved the book, love the podcast, and love these two people!

erin, I agree with you. Love this book, and the podcast. With out ever meeting them, except through e-mail, I have begun to think of ThornDadday and Dollie as friends.

Loved it from the first paragraph of the first chapter. i have never heard the explainnation of true submission explained in such a relatable way as it is explained here. RELEASE MORE CHAPTERS….please.

I 100% love this book, I seem to have spent the last 9 hours moving from chapter to chapter and then onto the podcasts getting lost in the magical connection between two wonderfully exciting people who seem to complete each other in ways most of us can hardly fathom. The especially brilliant aspect of the book is that though I’ve never really entertained the notion of being in either role before, I have now been left with confusing but completely welcome thoughts about both and I’m very grateful that the general public have been allowed to hear such a compelling story, especially by people with as sensual and sexy voices as ThornDaddy and Dollie have.

Evo-induced error notice! I totally screwed the pooch when adding the last few chapters, linking to the wrong files. Yeah, I’m an idiot.
It’s been fixed, so have your podcatching client re-download the episodes (now linked to the correct files) if you can. If you can’t, then go to the book’s page and download episodes 11, 12 & 13 by hand.
D’oh!

LOVE this book. The respect and love between these two is the key to why this book is enticing rather than revolting. All very exciting
Just makes me want to grab my Boy Toy and violate him most epically.

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dollie and I loved this comment.
Though she did remark “I know the guy who is lord and master of our corporate network. He’s too gentle to spy.”
One could say, “That’s what you think” (I did), but dollie says “He still smiles at me, and it’s not a leer.”

Just finished the last chapter and let’s say it was interesting. So far the reviewers haven’t been critical at all and for such a topic I’m a bit surprised. Maybe it’s just that the writers are getting the benefit of the doubt because they are the first podcasters to do cover such a topic.
The material was presented in a very nice non threatening way. The authors are obviously into each other and love each other very much. I guess that is where it might break down, I’m not a hopeless romantic and I’m not into romantic movies or books or anything of that nature and this books seems to groan on and on about how much they love each other to the point of it nearly making me sick. Break out the whips and chains and get wild, not a problem there, but carry on about love this and love that and then love some more and I’ll start looking for the fast forward button.
Regardless the book was enlightening and introduced me to a unique lifestyle that some people appreciate. I could have done without all the love talk though and saved an hour or two.

But without the love talk, it would just be S&M, nor S&M Romance!

I have gotten hooked on your podcast. Love it love it love it

Hi ThornDaddy and Dollie!
I have recently completed your podcast and I wanted to say thank you for sharing your innermost private escapes with me! Even though I am not one that shares the desire for physical pain, (okay…not completely, but maybe a little
I do share Dollies need and desire to masculate hermy man, in and out of the bedroom. I believe society today, and women’s need to be “equal’ per se, has indeed left our men in a place where they are unsure of their roles and this in turn has made a generation of “weaker” men. I dont think this is what we had in mind when we demanded equality, well not all of us, anyway.
I very much enjoyed hearing of the subservience of an indepenent strong woman, but I enjoyed even more the respect and love portrayed through ThornDaddy because of this reverence. Thank you for this.
On a funny side note, even though I have never taken part in any part of “formal” S&M, I am, as Dollie said in the last chapter, an endorphin junkie and am continually looking for ways to keep things interesting in the bedroom. Well, needless to say (LOL) two nights ago, while on top of my man, I was frustrated with him since he hasn’t quite been in sync with my needs, so I slapped his face and told him all about it while right there on top of him, in the middle of the act. I am sure you can imagine his surprise while he looked at me and said “you just slapped me!” I asked him if he liked it and he wasnt sure, but I saw a glimpse of excitement in his eye
and was sure he did when he decided to take control and while turning me over gave me a nice hard slap on my ass! 
this made me smile and made me know he heard me. There is hope for my tang boy yet!
Much admiration,
Super A

Great book!!! i couldn’t put it down! It’s like you are a nosy neighbor peering in through the curtains……………
If only we all had communication like ThornDaddy & Dollie. The writing style is so approachable and so endearing, you feel as if you are right there with them. Even if you are not in the S&M lifestyle you will gain a new sense of respect for a wonderful couple. And feel warm and fuzzy all over!!!!!!!!!

When Ray and I first got together, we played at s/m in a very amateurish way…sometimes awkward, often confused. There was a even a time that our difficulty discussing the matter frankly almost tore us apart, even though we loved each other dearly and wanted to play as passionately as we loved.
Then one night, a miracle happened…
Just for fun we did a random Internet search for ‘BDSM Podcast’ and found Daddy & Dollie’s creation. Ever since then, we have been sharing a chapter a night, and learning how to REALLY talk frankly about BDSM. Our play is now fearless, and our love just grows stronger with every session, because we have a loving foundation upon which to beat the crap out of each other (lol), And a pair of VERY educated voices to guide us in a new journey…and for you newbies reading this, it’s no joke: We love the whip, but we also touch each other’s souls, and knowing what Daddy & Dollie know has only made us grow stronger in our bond to each other.
For those who are new to the BDSM Universe, you have found the best place to learn. It’s tough, but honest, and no punches will be pulled. (And isn’t that why we came here?)
And for you Pro’s, you won’t be disappointed either! ENJOY!

I’m an avid listener of ThornDaddy and Dollies Submission and Coffee podcast and was eager to hear this one and The Plump Buffet as well.
I hope the authors truely understand what a great service they are providing to the world. From reading other testimonials and hearing my own appreciation echo’ed from many other listeners I know that the love and respect they show for each other is spreading out to others like a ripple in a pond.
For a country that boasts so many freedoms, in certain aspects we all seem subtly bound by so many rules of society that are ingrained in us so deeply they seem part of our nature.
ThornDaddy and Dollie and others like them who bring these perfectly normal and natural instincts that some of us have into the light of day and help us realize that it’s ok to succumb to the animal inside us, that safe, sane, consentual fun between adults is OK… I repeat.. it’s OK!!! (many of us have an extrememly hard time accepting that fact through years of believing what our current society has taught us).
Thanks again to the two of you for helping dispell the myth (partly due to hollywoods always dark and scary portrayal of BDSM—well… not so scary to everyone *blush*) and show people new to these feelings that it’s not wrong to admit that a smack on the fanny can also mean “I love you”
MEW!!

“Wow!” was my first reaction to this book. Not only is it sexy, loving, and a bit informative for us Vanilla folks, it is powerful. At least it was for me, I connected with Dollie and her situation really quickly. I fell in love with their story, i hope that one day I can have a relationship with as much love and respect as Thorndaddy and Dollie have in this book. After listening to this book I craved to know more about these two, so I found their site http://www.askdollie.com. Wonderful and informative. Thanks for letting the world know that life is not so black and white.

I’ve been telling as many people as I can about this book, I’ve loaded up all the chapters on my RCA opal at work. It’s funny I find myself grinning and frowning as I hear Thorn Daddie’s and Dollie’s words. I’m a butcher so you can imagine how my other employees look at me odd as I’m cutting meat lol. This book is so moving, and so amazing I’m so glad the two of you went out of your way to design it Thorn and Dollie. I hope you know how much it’s helped me in my discovery of myself and my ever-growing need into the life of BDSM. You two are so perfect for each other and I hope it stays that way I really do.

I wish you both the best in everything you do, I really mean it.

Quite an interesting book, I must say. Thorn and Dollie boldly bear their souls to give us insight to a lifestyle that is commonly misunderstood. What may sound shocking on a surface level actually is bursting with love, compassion, and a naughty but playful sense of adventure, plus a touch of discipline when needed. Highly recommended, especially for those unfamiliar to S and M.

From the very first chapter, I could just put my headphones down. Let’s just say this book made my work day go a whole lot faster. And then to find that it’s about Curvy Kitties on top of that…
I gained an entirely new perspective on this alt. lifestyle… you hear S&M and automatically people think 1. Pain and torture 2. Whips and chains 3. Leather and PVC wares of some kind. Rarely is an actual working relationship explained and explored at this level.
It has made me rethink my own deep seated desires to be a sub, but also to be a dom… it’s made me evaluate what a really want in a relationship.
These two have become ‘friends in my head’… not only entertainment, but also mentors.
LOVE YOU THORNDADDY & DOLLIE!!!

Wow. I highly recommend this novel to anyone who considers themselves open minded. “Diary” will probably broaden your horizons even further. I know it did mine. It is not really what I expected, but I enjoyed it immensely. It reaffirmed my belief that the most critical thing in *any* relationship is open and honest communication.
ThornDaddy & Dollie perform the book brilliantly. I doubt I would have appreciated this novel as treeware. The passion and feeling the authors interject into the podiobook is unbelievable. The love, respect and passion that you can hear in their voices is astounding.
I applaud their bravery. They share many intimate details and ‘private’ correspondences with us. By doing this, they’ve enabled us to empathize with them, even those of us who are just beginning our exploration of the BDSM world.
“Diary of an S+M Romance” gave me new appreciation for “Your kink is not my kink.” I would not be happy living like they do but that is irrelevant. The important thing is that I respect their right to pursue happiness however they choose to do so. I am thankful that these two have demonstrated to me that there is an infinite number of possibilities in which that is possible. Thank you to both of you!

i’ve just finished listening to “Diary of an S and M Romance” and i just wanted to say…. thanks Thorn Daddy and dollie!
i really enjoyed the insight into both of your thoughts and the makings of your relationship together.
Your story has helped me realise what it really means to be
submissive and how wonderful it can be.
i hope one day i can find something like what you two have together. You are both very lucky.
Thanks for sharing what you have!

I absolutely adore Diary of an S & M Romance and the relationship of you and ThornDaddy have. You have shown the unbelievable love shared between a Master and slave, it reminds me of the my own relationship with my Master. I cried from the love you too share. Dollie your words have made me look into my inner submission and see the corrections I need to make in order to please my Master, thank you for this, and thank you for writing the book and showing the world the not only naughty fun kinky side, but the unbelievable love a Master and slave.

As members of another alternative lifestyle (swingers), we greatly appreciate the openness and honesty that Thorndaddy and Dollie Llama have shared not only through this work, but their many other media contributions. We know all too well the dangers of peoples’ closed mindedness, as well as the misconceptions that most vanillas have about alternative sexuality, BDSM specifically. They judge as if they’ve been there, but generally have absolutely NO IDEA what they are talking about. Kudos to Dollie Llama for dashing the myths, and opening the minds of people everywhere. Perhaps you’ll convince a few more people that what goes on in other peoples’ bedrooms is neither dangerous to their way of life, nor any of their concern so long as it’s safe, sane, and consensual.

Wow! Your experiences in childhood are very similar to mine. I didn’t realize these tendencies until I wrote my first book. It’s a bdsm/male_dom/vampire/erotica novel. It brought back all the play scenes that happened as a child (with other children).
I joined a group here in town a few years ago. Great fun. They’ve taught me a lot about what this life style is all about. It’s not as the media portrays for sure.
I’m more of a sub than a slave. It’s all just for fun for me. Thx for your audios. Still listening.
Lata,
