In my paper “BeautifulAgony. com and the Representation of Pleasure,” I examine a website launched in 2004 known as Beautiful Agony: Facettes de la Petite Mort in order to explicate the ways in which orgasm and pleasure are conceived and represented. Beautiful Agony is a subscription-based website featuring downloadable video submissions of both women and men experiencing orgasms. The videos are framed from the shoulders up and contain no nudity; the videos convey sexual pleasure entirely through facial expressions and sound. The creators of the site define it as “hardcore without nudity.”
The continuation of Beautiful Cruelty. Agony is definitely prominent throughout the story. Agony in the fight against human trafficking, agony in the fight to find love and trust and agony in the realization that you can do everything right and still the horrors of the world can still find you. This story is heartbreaking in the horror it weaves knowing that while this is fiction it is very much a reality for many. I truly hope there is a real Vadim out there with his Lacey standing next to him to fight against human trafficking. This played a very large part in this story. It is definitely not Brook’s normal romance. The human trafficking part played a third main character. It is dark and horrible but the love between Vadim and Lacey shines through as well. Loved the HEA for Vadim and Lacey with their beautiful baby girl they fought hard to get their HEA. And shes left the door open for a potential spinoff with Demyon and Megan.
