Book Sample: Dedication

This promo post belongs to a larger book sample and module called “Brace for Impact” (2024), the latter a) inspired by Harmony Corrupted and b) having been designed to promote my upcoming monster volume—aka Volume Two of my Sex Positivity (2023) book series. The module divides into over thirteen posts, whose total chapters/subchapters compile a taste of the larger volume (which has three modules total, to give you an idea).

Haunting the Chapel: A Cum Tribute to Harmony Corrupted

The book, then, has been a series of “births” dragging the hellish child up from the depths of my own making and design (my own infernal concentric pattern, perhaps; i.e., the repeated plunging into the abyss while stuck inside it: mise-en-abyme). After the majority was written, I desired to summarize everything as pithily as I could into our aforementioned thesis statement. I didn’t have to; I wanted to, treating it as an educational device according to how I had been taught. Through the benefits of a classical and campy education, I once again “fell pregnant,” this time by myself with myself, but also with Bay who—like a slutty incubus from afar—had filled my slutty cum dumpster long distance. Now “full” of the dark swirling material as having been written and refined many times (many creampies), from toe to top full of these joined ideas, theories and plans, I had to give birth once more and set about it. While unsteadily “pregnant” with this saturated material, I pulled and manifested the entirety out of myself as a comprehensive stab at mapping and summarizing everything that I (once again) had to organize and refine over and over (source).

          Succubaen transference is this book’s MO. As the epigram notes, Bay was central to one cycle of it, inspiring me to write and write until the birth was over (sex and creativity classically connected, but also topically conjoined; i.e., having sex to inspire someone to write about sex, and with other things using sex as a driving factor between model and artist, friend and partner alike); per “A Ship of Theseus,” they went on to haunt the cathedral, one ghost among many in our special pandemonium.

          I wanted to thank Harmony Corrupted to a similar degree, insofar as the entire, novella-sized module, “Brace for Impact” (over ~185,000 words/~469 pages, ~346 unique images) was written based on our playing and working together. The cum that resulted—those profane creative juices—built and raised something that, part of a renovation to a preexisting structure (the modules), went on to haunt them, in response: repeated “bukkake” excursions into the doomy void that, in true vampiric fashion, deliciously flavored (and urgently spurred on) that which came next. Harmony’s forbidden fruit passed itself on as an orchard of knowledge, a bakery of tasty cakes filled with yummy “poison.” Food always comes to those who love to cook; Harmony puts the “cum” in cumulative, the “semen” in seminal, helping me through her body and labor (sex work is work, sex is artwork) create something special that—like Communism—couldn’t be done alone, or in one lifetime. She’s a total blessing, one I’ll happily invigilate and ornament, counting her among my finest gallery of muses: “Look at this person and how awesome they are! Go support them!” Doing so brings me joy.

For those of legal age who enjoy Harmony’s work and want to see more than this book can show, consider subscribing to her Fansly account and then ordering a custom/tipping through her Ko-Fi. You won’t be disappointed!)

          I once likened Harmony’s content to “A rare, fatal vision, a Gothic dream to haunt the chapel with; a dark freaky church where no one gets hurt and there’s lots of sex, it’s the Neo-Gothic in a nutshell: visions of a better world when threatened by the ghost of capital, keeping the aesthetic of torture but not the context! It’s exquisite ‘torture,’ with a darky mommy queen!” (a review I wrote of a video Harmony sent me—more on this in the medieval prep section). Indeed, her ass is a fortress of which mounts tremendous assaults on my imagination (and creative organs). Hopelessly swept up in an erotically Gothic poiesis, Harmony’s vampire castle demands cum tributes, yielding fresh delights in the process: a sweetly profane communion with the dark divine, a delicious purveyor of new forms of reason. Her Aegis is an antagonistic black mirror that, ventured deep into, thoroughly breaks Capitalist Realism between its pumpkin-sized cheeks.

To Harmony and her SO: This module is my favorite section of my favorite volume; it and its cummy magnum opus are dedicated to your combined efforts. Thank you both, mommy!

Update, 4/26/2024: The size of “Brace for Impact” has required I divide Volume Two in two. What I said still holds true, though: Volume Two, part one is my favorite part of the entire book! —Perse
