Ashley Lister is a freelance writer who has been reporting on the recreational sex scene in the UK for several years. She decided to take her experiences and stories and turn them in to novels that help explain the sex scene.

True Confessions from Today’s Swinging Scene covers topics you may not even be aware of. From orgies to threesomes, from swapping to dogging, this book covers many of the nuances found in the community.

Ashley Lister focuses on several couples involved in different aspects and allows them to tell their stories. You meet Frank and Eve, a couple who frequents dogging locations. Frank watches as Eve takes on dozens of men, sometimes in a single night. You learn how this activity makes them feel closer. You’ll meet Grace and Harry, a local couple who owns an estate large enough to host hundreds of couples at swingers parties. You’ll meet Ken-,a single man who wants to fulfill couples fantasies of a Male-Female-Male threesome. You will also meet couples who soft-swing, voyeurs, and exhibitionists.

While this may sound like nothing more than a collection of erotic stories, it’s much more than that. Ashley Lister asks these couples why they enjoy this, and provides background information so the reader can start to understand the fascination with certain aspects. Many readers do report wanting to enhance their own sex lives or try new things after reading some of the steamier moments in the book. True Confessions is regarded highly, both in the swinging communities and in the critics hold.
