Publisher's summary

A must-listen for every classic erotica fan! Performed as a duet by Zachary Johnson and Verla Bond.

The term “Masochist” comes from Austrian author Leopold Von Sacher-Masoch, whose fantasies inspired him to write Venus in Furs in 1870. The story is an account of a man named Severin, who is obsessed with being enslaved by a despotic woman in furs. He finds his ideal in a young widow named Wanda: a reluctant domme who discovers her sadistic tendencies through their twisted love affair.

Venus in Furs was translated into English by Fernanda Savage in 1921.

Soap Opera in Furs

As the quintessential work on the subject of voluntary male sexual bondage, I got what I was looking for. It’s a good enough story, and some parts are even somewhat stimulating. However, the over-actory way in which the male narrator reads is distracting. A misfire in my opinion. Not to mention, I found myself ignorant of several words describing the clothes worn by Wanda. That’s on me of course. Overall I would still probably suggest it!
