When you think of the minotaur of ancient Greek mythology, romance probably isn&#8217;t the first thing that comes to mind.

This may be the most sexually suggestive post I’ve ever written while talking about my work, but having written a novel about a mind-controlling minotaur, I’m left with a question. Would you want a man who could make you orgasm on command?
Sexual satisfaction is notoriously more difficult for women to achieve than it is for [...]]]></description>
