If you enjoy actual novels rather than short stories (I do), I recommend the entire Marketplace series by Laura Antoniou.

As for the Story of O? I read it at fourteen years old and knew "regular sex" wasn't ever gonna be my thing. It's the kind of book people either love or hate instead of being indifferent or lukewarm about I think.
I agree with Laura Antoniou writing/editing some excellent BDSM stories as mentioned in another thread somewhere and Story of 'O' is class. All those that read the 50 Shades 'bunch of words' that sucked any joy out of BDSM should be tied up and forced to read Story of 'O'.
I second the idea that Literotica has some good stuff on, I also go to Lush which has some excellent stories also.
There's a hilarious Laura Antoniou video floating around of her mocking 50 shades by reading an "excerpt" from it but lending her own interpretation to it. The Story of O has been mentioned by some as being a turnoff because she didn't enjoy it/consent to it. All I gotta say is not everyone is into non-consent fantasies and don't enjoy the idea of heavy sado/masochism but for those of us who DO, it's the hottest example I can personally think of.
The Laura Antoniou video is very good, thanks for that. She rips into 50 Shades very accurately and it's very funny. If anyone passes by this post and is interested just go to YouTube and search for, "laura antoniou 50 shades".
I'll have to read Story of 'O' again as I took it as being pretty consensual. I thought there was a key moment where she chooses to be in bondage in front of a potential suitor who is disgusted by the scene. She stares him out, confident in her choice and he turns and walks away. There is the question of Rene handing her over to Sir Stephen which she initially doesn't want as she loves Rene but I thought she always had the option to leave. Ah well, I'll just have to re-read
