The Bridal Trap by Lyka Bloom (femdom feminization)

I had the great pleasure of first meeting Lyka Bloom through her Pink Institute series about 5 years (and nearly 60 stories!) ago, so it is probably no surprise that I continue to be drawn to her stories where reluctant men are transformed into eager, happy, blissful sissies.

The Bridal Trap is most definitely one of her happy ending stories, although Eleanor does lead Darren on a very unorthodox journey, one with its share of anger and anxiety before the emotions begin to turn. The very concept of a dominant woman wanting to flip society's expectations by transforming a younger man into her perfect trophy wife is exquisite, a fantasy with which I suspect many of us can relate.

Eleanor is a stern, confident, powerful woman, a born Alpha leader who sees no reason why that leadership should not extend into a marriage. And that is no mere whim - she is so committed to her idea of the perfect sissy trophy wife, she has even renovated her mansion to have a custom bridal suite in which her subject can be imprisoned for conditioning! Darren never thought of himself in terms of sissy or submissive, but everything about him - his size, his lack of confidence, his admiration for women - makes him the perfect beta subject for Eleanor's plans.

The slow, gradual transformation of Darren is as lovely as it is carefully constructed. A locked room, controlled environment, and pretty lace-fringed shock collar are what make it all possible, but it is the presence of Eleanor and her honest, frank explanations of what she desires that ultimately allows Darren to overcome his reservations. Most of the erotic elements are saved for the last third of the story, but they are certainly worth waiting for, especially since they are precisely what a sissy wife should expect. As for the emotional connection that blooms, that had me swooning with delight.

The Bridal Trap may not be every sissy's dream, but I cannot imagine anything better.

Lyka Bloom lives and works in Tennessee as a technical writer. She has always enjoyed the exploration of fantasies, from the mundane to the kinky, generally revolving around hypnosis, mind control and transformation.
