A sex slave is very often a woman who dares to admit to herself exactly what she wants. Absolute submission to love requires a mysterious strength of character that is a far cry from the idea of sex slaves as mindless doormats with no self-respect. In a desire to tell the truth and dispel negative stereotypes about the life of a sex slave, Maria Isabel Pita wrote The Story of M â€" A Memoir, and her intensely erotic life with the man of her dreams continues now in Beauty & Submission â€" a vividly detailed sexual and philosophical account of her second year of training as a slave to her Master and soul mate.
