Mostly sexual assault and bad bdsm boundaries. I Hope no one is using this as actual bdsm practices.

Not for the faint of heart, this is an explicit BDSM fantasy based on Sleeping Beauty. If you want to have any semblance of a good time, get your expectations straight: this is unadulterated porn, and it doesn’t pretend to be anything else. There is no plot, and characters are there purely as sexual objects. 
It’s not my personally preferred flavor of erotica, but I think it is well-written and erotically candid. (You’re not going to find Anne Rice using any coy euphemisms; she’s not afraid to call body parts what they are.) If BDSM is your thing, you’ll probably enjoy this.

Wholly BDSM-centric without the necessary boundaries (explicit consent, safe words, etc.)
