Book Review – “The Surrender: An Erotic Memoir” by Toni Bentley
This is, in my opinion, one of the more important books dealing with anal sex that you can buy or read. 
In The Surrender: An Erotic Memoir Toni Bentley shares with us how, through anal sex, she experienced more than simply sexual bliss. She experienced first hand the metaphysical state of complete surrender.
Through being fucked in the ass by a strong cock, she was able to let go of her anger, her resentment of men God and her father.
Toni describes how in that moment of having a cock in your ass, she cannot, could not, think about or be anything but that very moment. She can be only present, in the here and now, completely engaged in the experience.
In such a state, you can completely let go of everything that separates you from your inner self, from your partner, and from God.
And so, anal sex can be the “gateway” to spiritual and personal transformation, through what in the east may be called the annihilation of the ego, and living fully in the now.
This is not a how to guide. It’s a celebration of the ecstasy of surrender, experienced through anal sex.
Here are a few choice quotes from the opening chapter of this book:
“I am sitting on the threshold. Perhaps this is the final paradox of God’s paradoxical machinations: my ass is my very own back door to heaven. The Pearly Gates are closer than you think.”
“Bliss, I learned from being sodomized, is an experience of eternity in a moment of real time”
“Sodomy is the ultimate sexual act of trust”
“I am an atheist by inheritance. I cam to know god experientially, from being fucked in the ass…”
“I’ve learned so much, maybe the thing of most importance, from being fucked in the ass – how to surrender”
“Being fucked in the ass gives me hope. Despair hasn’t got a chance when his cock is in my ass, making room for God.”

I just reviewed this book as well!

I liked it a lot and could relate to her take on monogamy and feelings for her very special lover, and was impressed with her spiritual realization.
One thing I thought didn’t fit in with the rest of the book was the chapter on statistics. I liked her personal rituals – so funny that she kept all her used condoms!
