My Femdom Marriage: A True Story (Part One) Paperback – December 12, 2018

So is My Femdom Marriage - A True Story - Part 1 by Ann Michelle a true story? It reads like it very well could be. A little back story - to a review? Yes. Many years ago I got into an exchange of e-mails about a story that was being serialized on Fictionmania. Writer's Secret Part One. I definitely liked the basic story line and it has remained one of my very favorite for years. I remember it as being a nice exchange of ideas. I realize I really didn't know the sex of the author named Ann Michelle. I think now that I finally do know now that I have read Part One page 3. I didn't mind at all when Ann's stories stopped appearing on Fictionmania as a prolific author needs to make a living. I bought them all. I did have a problem when they stopped coming out in paperback. After all Ann was a great author in the genera she wrote. But now they have come out in paperback and I have caught up after not buying books on line for about two years or so. I have two books just read, and 20 on hand yet to read (24 if I count Danielle as 6 and not 2). So all is forgiven Ann Michelle. (I hope you at least read reviews because I still will offer suggestions.)We have a lot in common. Page 21 bottom paragraph is red lined ten times on both left and right margins as well as each line. "Before we married, I told my wife (to be) about my fetishes (submissive maid serving a Mistress desires) and she agreed to participate (she had no problems with my desire)." Twice" (me too) ( but mine never did). Yes I gave up too. (14 of 24 years were just for the kids).But I must ask Ann "Does your wife read your books?" Braver thou art than I Ann Michelle. With two girls still at home? How can they not observe and know? They will be awesome wives someday to two very lucky ___________. (fill in the blank).We Need to Talk. What wonderful words to hear. I usually write in the margins but this was mostly just red lines. I can't believe that Mr Ann Michelle didn't ask his wife how often she moved the furniture when she used to vacuum!!! Talk about making the chores so unnecessarily odious. I would have thrown a sissy fit. Then when she tells you to go write - in the kitchen? Did you even have a computer? You must have been given your own lap top.Every married submissive crossdresser must buy this, read it, and then hand it over to his wife. Mark it up if you like, but give it up. 8 stars at least. MANDATORY PURCHASE for married, submissive, crossdressers.

I have been a devoted follower of Ann Michelle for many years, always looking forward to the next caption or the next book, so I was naturally excited when she announced the first part of My Femdom Marriage: A True Story. I am always fascinated by how people get into the lifestyle, how far deeply the explore it, and how willing (or unwilling) both participants are.So much of Ann Michelle's story, especially early on, is intimately familiar. The early experiments with crossdressing, the epiphany the first time she put on a dress, the guilt and the shame that went along with it, and the desperate longing to find a woman who would not only understand, but take an active part in her fantasies. Where our stories begin to diverge is in how early and how often she shared her desires with girlfriends, and how open she was with her wife. It took me a lot longer to achieve that same level of comfort - or, perhaps, desperation.The fact that her wife initially denied being dominant, despite her natural tendencies to control every situation, was familiar as well. I think the problem is that people outside the lifestyle have a very stereotypical idea of what female domination is. All they see is the dark and kinky side, never realizing that domination and submission can be very loving. When push comes to shove, and Ann Michelle's wife ultimately decides to take on the dominant role, the confusion of feelings that follows rings true - for more reasons than one. Ann Michelle talks about her fears, her worries, her concerns, and her insecurities. This level of submission and feminization is something she has desperately craved her whole life, but the reality is something else entirely. What drives her decision to submit is the realization that her wife was doing it because she loves her. It is still not an easy decision to give up ALL control in the relationship, but I loved her attitude."If I'm wrong then I'm wrong. At least I tried to find happiness."Such a simple, beautiful thought, but one so many of us struggle to embrace. What follows from there may not be quite what you expect, but that's the difference between a true story and a fictional one. Her wife's plans are carefully thought out to ensure constant submission, without betraying their secret to their two daughters or to the world at large. Mostly. She does push the envelope a little bit, but does so in ways that reinforce Ann Michelle's feelings of femininity and submission, while only hinting at or suggesting anything to diligent observers - things like slightly feminine sandals, a toe ring, and blouses that could be dress shirts if not for the fact they button the wrong way.The other surprise - for me, at least - was the emphasis her wife puts on humiliation. She enjoys pushing that envelope, always placing Ann Michelle just on the cusp of exposure. The first time we really see it is when she summons her to the garage, an enclosed environment that we assume to be safe, but that open garage door suggests a level of exposure that frightens her. It is nothing too overt - at least until the climactic dinner scene that I will not spoil here - but it is fascinating to see the conflict of emotions it brings out in Ann Michelle, with rational fears and insecurities battling with physical arousal.Finally, for those who may be so interested, I do have to say Ann Michelle does a lovely job of exposing and exploring her foot fetish, with an early forced masturbation scene that really sets the tone. Not necessarily my thing - my wife has an aversion to feet, although she loves to see me in ever-higher heels - but it is another part of her true story, and the emotions involved are as authentic as they are exciting. Part One of My Femdom Marriage takes us surprisingly far, which makes it entirely satisfying on its own, and which really makes you wonder what Part Two could hold.

I have been a “quiet” fan of Ann’s for years, but this one is dragging me out of my closet. She claims it is her own true story & it is imperfect enough to be plausible. The actions & intensity also seem to correspond with the general psychological intensity ramping up in her last few books, so it it may be so. Either way, she is taking it to another level, and us along with her! It’s realistic enough that I took it took a psychotherapy session with my latest psychiatrist, (who worked with Masters & Johnson) & read the excerpts aloud where “Andrew” is forced to email what he really imagines his new humiliating role should be. If you can stand to face more intensity than just 2 minutes of hot writing, but still appreciate that this is THE romance novel for sissy-subs, get this one.And Ann, please hurry with part 2

Good story, Didn't feel it was realistic

The pulse of this book is rapid, bounding and relentless as Michelle's account of following her husband's fantasy actually becomes his command to find honesty where he hoped it would remain sequestered between them, only to announce himself to the world with his own submission. This took tremendous strength and courage but more than that, it represented unmitigated love andrespect for each other. There's a strong message in this novella empowering the right to own freedom. The poetic justice is that ironically while relinquishing control, a husband finds unexpected strength and power in a position he normally should run from. The fact that this was "black listed" made me want it even more. As I venture into part ll, I do so willingly and proudly as I respect this couple more than words can describe.

The book presents a true story of the switch of control from wife to husband in their marriage. While he admitted having kinks of being dominated and feminized before marrying, he thought of himself as dominant while she considered herself submissive in their relationship. But living together will show that she wants to control. She will take action upon his slavish fetishes and become dominant, while emasculation will play a big part in their new relationship. Love is part of the process. When incorporating beneficial sexual kinks, both husband's and wife's needs accounted for driving them towards building a stronger marriage. Great story.

I've read so much bad writing that I am braced each time I open the cover of a new book for what lurks beneath. Earlier reviews convinced me this was worth reading, yet my first response to the size of the text on the back cover and on the pages within was that I feared the worst.In my experience three types of book have large print - books for children, books for elderly women (romances and Agatha Christie) and books by self-published authors sorely in need of an editor.So imagine my delight when I began reading and found it to be intelligent, insightful and well-constructed. Ann Michelle knows how to craft a story and this writing is all the more powerful because it reeks of truth. Following Andrew on his voyage to become Ann, and his/her wife Michelle taking on the dominant role, and seeing the turmoil he goes through in order to give up control to her (the control he craves to relinquish) puts this so far above most fantasy writing as to be in a different league.There is very little sexual gratification in this book, it's not that sort of erotic tale. Read it if you have a genuine interest in feminization, submission and humiliation, whether it's the stuff of fantasy or something you are serious about exploring.Michelle had a tough challenge too, and I would love to read more about how she faced up to being truly dominant after years of mistakenly identifying herself as submissive.

I was interested to learn about Femdom as a lifestyle choice, and this book lays it out there perfectly. It is not erotic, but it can be for the right person. Certainly something different to read.
