� All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.
�
� J.R.R. Tolkien

A Decade of Desire by Charles Dyson
"Illness killed sexual desire inside Charlie's marriage, and he looks online for satisfaction. The format is interesting and different. The first chapter is a series of messages between the two and then the second describes one of the encounters in explicit detail. After the first episode, you know Charlie is into roleplay with a focus on bondage and punishment.
I enjoyed reading the series of encounters, but felt they didn't progress. Obviously, the names changed, but for one reason or the other. The relationships always failed, and the reason why, in my opinion, isn't explored. Guess the reader must assume Charlie's behavior continues ad infinitum.
Great book to have on the shelf, and when you're in the mood, read the next standalone episode. There are enough to keep you busy for over a week!"

A Decade of Desire by Charles Dyson
"Dyson's book was somewhat of a surprise to me, as I assumed it was another erotic story that followed the usual format of video porn put to words. But I was wrong.
The chapter's are a psychological "diary' of a man in search of self.
The MC is caught up in a cycle of online meeting of females willing to participate in very specific types of sexual activity, followed by actual face to face encounters.
His respectful and caring interactions with the ladies he meets with are almost, in spite of the nature of their time spent together, a way to win their hearts.
Each chapter reveals more about his personal dynamics than the explicit sexual activities do.
The reader not only gets to know this man, but as result of his approach with them also gets to know a bit about his female counterparts.
There is kinky sex, there is role playing, there are many types of sexual expression in each chapter. But also, written between the lines are subtle hints as to what Charlie is really after.
A chance to move forward in his understanding of himself through the role play of commercialized sex.
A good piece of work on Dyson's part. Not to be confused with porn, read this book for the insights it may give you on the human condition."
