The Shield

Technology as a tool for kink. This is the idea behind the Shield. Author Kat Abad takes on BERLINABLE's Make Condoms Sexy challenge masterfully as she presents us with a gift of a wonderfully dirty imagination. In the story, she takes on the role of a deliciously savvy lesbian inventor, who comes up with the ultimate tool for safer sex: The shield – a condom designed to make things easier and better for everyone.



And what better way to put the Shield to test than to invite all of her friends of a personal try out? Abad brings a fresh story, tongue-in-cheek and flirtatious, which amps up the sexual tension we all have felt on a girls' night.



With a tale that focuses on the fun side of making sex safer, Abad takes us on a ride on a multitude of possibilities – from girl-on-girl action experienced by the protagonist, to some steamy bathroom straight sex her friend describes to her in detail, and a pipping hot gay scene among a friendly couple. All, of course, in the name of science and testing the Shield in all possible scenarios.



For World AIDS Day, BERLINABLE launched a challenge for authors worldwide; writing erotica to promote safer sex in a fun and positive way. The four winners of the MAKECONDOMSSEXY contest are diverse, well-written and delightful stories to advocate condom usage for sex-positive folks everywhere!



BERLINABLE is not simply a publisher, we are a community.

We create a network of people who are connected by their need to be free and explore their sexuality.

Our talented authors either write from experience or are pro connoisseurs of their writing topics.

This authenticity is what makes our books so special.



Kat Abad is a North-American author creating beautifully crafted and sensual lesbian erotica. She brings her own experience into detailed stories – usually with a BDSM spin on it. Think of Abad's books as the lesbian, actually good, 50 Shades of Grey counterparts.



In her own words, ""I write erotica because there is nothing I love more than arousing others. Not just sexually, but also mentally. I want to open a reader's mind with vivid imagery, push their boundaries, make them think. Make them feel. Feeling anything in such a numbing world is a gift."
