The men of Praxton

On my last blog I said we would look at some of the customs men were expected to follow on Praxton. The contrast to what women wear is significant. To start males need to appear to be Strong and dominating. This means clothing that is loose and to give the appearance he is large and strong. The shirt usually has long sleeves and bulky looking. Often it will be open in the front to show off his chest. His pants are also loose fitting, though the fly will be heavily decorated and partially open to reveal what is underneath. Males also wear heavy boots, almost continuously from the time they get up in the morning until it`s time for bed.
As the reader will note, the contrast between males and females dress is significant and helps establish the order on Praxton.

I recently received a review from Coffee Time Romance. A link to the review;

They gave it a good review. The second book in the series-Praxton, The Battle for Freedom- will be released in January.

I have a new release by eXtasy Books. Snow Job contains two short Christmas stories. One contains a bit of spanking and bondage. The other is a humorous story about a Christmas tree.

If I don`t have a chance to later on, I want to wish you a very Merry Christmas and best wishes for the New Year.

Praxton customs

As I mentioned in my last blog I want to talk more on the social customs of Praxton. Many of the customs come from the time when females were treated as valuable slaves. Thus in modern Praxton females are usually restrained to their bed at night, often by being cuffed to the ankle to the foot of the bed. Normally females sleep two to a bed and also sleep in the nude. Thus females consider it normal to exchange physical touches with one another and it is not unusual for intimate relationships to develop.
Females are encouraged not to hide their body. An example is the bath and showers often have glass walls around them that allow others to see them as they wash. Some households even may have one transparent wall of the bath or shower to the outside world.
The fashions on Praxton reflect the past as well. Females wear a collar that identifies their male guardian. They also wear cuffs with various chains attached. These collars, cuffs and chains are less practical as restraints and more like fashion jewellery. While the cuffs and collars are locked, most females are allowed to carry a key to remove them as need requires. While females vary the way they wear cuffs and chains, sometimes choosing to leave them off, they will always wear a collar. The collar is a deeply ingrained symbol to Praxton and a female would never leave her bedroom without wearing one.
On my next blog I shall talk about Praxton from what males are expected to wear and how they act.

Praxton Life

I said in my last blog I would give more of an insight of Praxton and the way of life there. The rest of human civilization, namely the Alliance worlds, believe the women on Praxton are treated as slaves. Praxton disagrees but let me describe a bit about Praxton`s past.
The early history of Praxton started when two rival groups decided to colonize the planet at the same time. One group was military in structure, the other was intent on populating the world as quickly as possible and brought more women than men. Soon the military group was trying to capture the women for their own needs. After a brief war an agreement was reached but outlaw slave trading flourished.
Raiders, small groups of outlaws, would capture women from the estates of wealthy land owners. They would then sell the women to other wealthy estates.
Once a women was purchased, usually at an auction, the owner would take steps to ensure she didn`t easily disappear. The new slave would be given clothes of the owner`s choice, collared and likely cuffed with chains. Often they would be placed in a locked cell with other slaves. To help ensure her behaviour the new owner would often use mild discipline such as spanking or a light whip.
Modern Praxton reflects its not so civilized past. Women still wear collars that identify there male guardian. However the collars are more cosmetic in nature and can be very decorative. Females also wear cuffs with chains attached but wear them as jewellery. Though the collar and cuffs are always locked, most women carry a spare key to remove them in case they need to remove them for washing or changing clothes.
More on Praxton customs later, but I would like to announce Praxton, Book One is now available at Midnight Showcase http://www.midnightshowcase.com/midnight/PraxtonBook1.htm
