 boring August 24, 2008

totally surprised at what others have said about this book. this is the first review i have made but felt it needed to be done. this book was boring to say the least.i didnt even finish it nor try to. i started with first chapter, yawned and went to next, yawned. then i just started flipping through it. maybe i just didnt read the description about the book well enough before i bought it.... there was little short stories(if you can call them that, 'me and my wife had wild sex', whoopi!)in the book but nothing really detailed. there was nothing detailed about things to do, bdsm roles, acting, nothing! it just stated things like; be comfortable with yourself, dress sexy, wear leather, its okay to get freaky, different types of body fluids that people do or like. um hello!!!! duh! it was more of a glorified birds and the bees talk, how to understand bdsm. NOTHING on how to set the stage, how to determine what to do, what type of partner you have(sub or dom) and wht to do to them.nothing sexy nothing worth while at all! it was plain ol vanilla boring.i know nothing really about bdsm, but the stuff in this book is in magazines that you pick up in the grocery store or on your tv. i guess if you live in a cave this would be a book for you. but even then, i think you would be so bored in the cave you would come up with better stuff than this.
 Hmmm June 5, 2008

I've bought several books on the subject and read others that have been loaned from friends. This is by far the best. Clear, concise and not cluttered with a bunch of information that one doesn't need. If you buy one book on the subject, this is the one to get.
 The nitty-gritty of D/s relationships April 6, 2008
Teramis (San Francisco)
This book is one of the very few ethnographies existing about people who live in intentional power exchange relationships as a significant facet of their personal lives. It was groundbreaking when it came out, and to my knowledge no work has since come close to sharing D/s relationships through the participants' eyes in quite this manner, It is a stellar work of sociology for the bdsm community, and well worth reading for anyone who wants to gain some insights into why people choose to do D/s and erotic power relationships.

This book really delves into the psychology of BDSM, and touches subjects that many other books don't. While leaning more towards the "why" of BDSM, it still gives alot of "how to" as well. This book is great for experienced Domme's who want to delve into the mindset of the lifestyle. I thoroughly enjoyed this one.

I really, really love this book! There are a ton of books out there on technique, and books on what to do in the metaphorical bedroom, but this isn't one of them. It isn't a titillating erotic read. It's a book about the psychology, sociology, and philosophy of BDSM. Multiple viewpoints about multiple parts of the lifestyle are presented. The authors draw from interviews with all different kinds of BDSMers. It explains a lot about WHY and not a lot about HOW this lifestyle occurs. I literally can't put this book down, and I already have three friends in line to read it!
