Is there anything kinkier than painting my house?

In my last post I wrote about Anne Rice's Sleeping Beauty novels.  While we're on the subject of Anne Rice, I would be remiss if I did not mention Exit to Eden, which she published under the pen name Anne Rampling.  A cover blurb on a recent edition of the book sums it up:  "They will explore their most forbidden desires, including love."  

At first glance Exit to Eden is similar to Rice's Sleeping Beauty books. It is set on a sex island.  Some people volunteer to be naked slaves.  Other people pay to use them.  It has some scenes that could be set in Beauty's kingdom.  But despite that, it doesn't have much explicit sex in it.  It is less erotica and more love story, and a great one at that, in which two people who happen to be kinky learn to be their full selves through their love of the other.

But I am less interested in the book than in the movie adaptation.  I forget who the movie starred as the main love interests from the book.  But the movie added two new characters.  Rosie O'Donnell and Dan Akroyd played undercover cops who infiltrate the sex island to chase a McGuffin.  As embarrassed outsiders to all things BDSM, their purpose was to make the general public comfortable going to a movie about people who are insiders to it.

The movie got terrible reviews, but I loved it.

SPOILERS AHEAD

My favorite part:  A hot slave keeps following Rosie O'Donnell around, begging her to use him.  When he asks her one too many times how he can fulfill her fantasies, she says in exasperation, "Go paint my house."

And he does!  He's actually a rich investment banker!  He's perfect!  A kinkster by night who does the dishes  (or pays someone else to do them) by day!  Now that's a love story.
