From my reader’s picks page:

I am a twenty eight year old heterosexual male. Growing up, I was fascinated by mind control, especially brainwashing, in all forms of media. By the time I was in my early teen years it had become the basis for most of my erotic fantasies. As I passed through those years, and into young adulthood, I assumed I was a freak; this was something that only turned me on. That was until I found the EMCSA! Suddenly I had a community of people surrounding me that understood my fascination and endorsed it. The community aspect isn’t that important to me anymore, but it is still nice to know. In the past few years I have gone through a lot of issues with my own sexuality, past sexual & emotional problems, and guilt at even enjoying this type of erotica. I’m glad there is a community of people out there but, for the most part, I have been flying solo lately. I am very grateful to the EMCSA community for existing and Simon for maintaining the archive.

Over the years my interests have changed in regards to what I enjoy reading. My preferences seem to have settled on male/female (male dominant) and female/female. I love stories about brainwashing conspiracies and organizations. So-called “drone” stories are also very interesting. After reading this archive for ten years, a bit of creativity and a unique plot is always appreciated and tends to grab my attention. That is not to say the above described styles are not good. A well done story, no matter how formulaic, is still a well done story.

Substance and plot are very important to me. The sex in EMCSA stories is more often than not irrelevant to me: the use of mind control in the story is what is engaging and erotic. Pages and pages of descriptions of women with 44EEEEEE breasts does nothing for me. It is also rare that I enjoy the wham-bam turn the defiant feminist into a bimbo cock sucking machine style story. The stench of misogyny and a writer’s pent up issues with their girlfriend, or that defiant co-worker, or the wife, turn me off very quickly. The erotic nature of a story is meaningless to me if there is a no plot or exposition. I also prefer stories that are longer in length.
