| 1. Screw the Roses, Send Me the Thorns: The Romance and Sexual Sorcery of Sadomasochism by Philip Miller This is a good introductory guide on BDSM for heterosexual, male dominant and female submissive couples and for others who view BDSM as a form of sexual and romantic play. It is not, as some reviewers both on the book itself and elsewhere, claim the most complete BDSM guide today -- it never claims to be that either. It is simply what it claims, one couples' view of BDSM that may click well with others of a similar bent. However, the tone is a bit sarcastic at times and a bit "in scene" at other times and this may confuse very new people so I recommend other books such as the "Topping Book" ...

| 2. SM 101: A Realistic Introduction by Jay Wiseman BDSM, by nature, is shrouded in a world of fantasy. This is fantastic if you are sitting down for a good erotic "read", however, it is more problematic if you are contemplating trying to act out your SM fantasies. Fortunately, readers now have access to a non-titillating , realistic guide to SM play. Jay Wiseman is an experienced SM player and a popular lecturer/speaker at many BDSM events and his book, SM 101, has condensed down his years of scene experience into a very readable guide to SM play.It is somewhat of a 'technical manual' that explains SM terminology, the mechanics of ...

| 3. Two Knotty Boys Showing You the Ropes: A Step-By-Step, Illustrated Guide for Tying Sensual and Decorative Rope Bondage: A Step-by-step, Illustrated Guide to Tying Sensual and Decorative Rope Bondage by Two Knotty Boys This is the book I was looking for... only downside was the black and white photos versus color. Beyond that it was s super book for learning some of the decorative *and* useful ;) bondage methods. Had purchased several other books to learn the basics but while the results were functional, they were pretty.
This book is basic enough that you don't have to be super advanced. Lots of steps-by-step pictures and solid instructions. Wish I had found this early. Between this book and Chanta Rose's book, you cover all bases for good solid functional and pretty bondage!

| 4. The Story of O by Pauline Reage This is a unique and fascinating story of the unadulterated surrender of ones body mind and soul. That one, is a woman who is mysteriously named "O". .............. "O"s lover Rene, submits her to a strange house in which women are bound, blindfolded, and required to obediently do whatever they're told, for whomever tells them. The story is beautifully written, and really conjures up powerful mental images as you lose yourself in the story. I read this cover to cover on a three hour car ride, and it made the time pass far more quickly.Many debate over the authors true identity. Some think ...

The Mistress Manual: A Good Girl's Guide to Female Dominance (Erotic) by Lorelei Without getting too personal, I was drawn to buying this book because of some personal growth and realizations about myself and my sexuality. The fantasies and thoughts in this book, some of them already existed somewhere within my subconscious, but reading this book gave them some release. This book is well-written and very detailed. The first chapters deal with the psychological/emotional aspects of wanting to be a dominant woman or having feelings of domaninance as a woman in society. (Nice girls don't want to hit men, right?) The book details the five archetypes of dominating women ...

The Master's Manual: Handbook of Erotic Dominance by Jack Rinella I am a hetero dom and, contrary to someone's earlier homophobic review, I found this book to be of great interest and extremely relevant. The need to understand dominance and submission trancends gender and orientation. The book is thoughtfully written and well edited. There are many complex philosophical issues within the leather experience that I have tangled with myself and the author addresses those issues with care, attention and the insight of one who has resolved his own internal conflicts. Jack, you done good. Thanks for your work and your willingness to share your experience. ...

It is quite good in the use of Jungian archetypes and how they are seen in domination and submissive choices. This book is not light. If you truly want the deep down reasons why people are or choose to be submissive or dominant this gives some intense answers. I liked it.

This book is WONDERFUL. I completely agree with every aspect of this book.

Anyone as far ahead of his time as he was is sure to be considered insane by his contemporaries. This collection of his work is exhaustive, and deliciously exausting. You not only get "Justine" and "Philosophy in the Bedroom", there are many shorter works and a collection of De Sade's letters. All of these paint a picture of a man and a philosophy that was at least 150 years ahead of the morals and thought of his period. Sade not only anticipates Freud and Niezche, he goes beyond them. He ...

I had never heard of it or the author before (though she seems to fancy herself a bit of a celebrity)... but it looked interesting, so I splurged. This book is aimed at women who want to explore their dominant side with male partners, and it is easily the most heterosexual thing I've ever read in kink literature - that is to say, it is aimed exclusively at monogamous and/or married couples and follows the Female=Goddess/male=worm archetype (though the author has a healthy sense of humor about it).

In a way, that is what Joan Kelly asks through out this memoir of her professional submission.

Of course, you realize that she does have a strong will and certainly many personal opinions. I still don't know if I like her but I am most certainly intrigued by her.
"The Memoir of a Professional Submissive" begins with Joan's search to fulfill her desire to submit by attending a BDSM club demonstration. Unlike some, Joan ...

Jay has done bondage play for years and years and his experience and knowledge shows through here.

The warm, personal style is unmistakably the hallmark of Greenery Press - as is the focus on ethics and infinite possiblities. I was especially moved by the underlying message that - rather than recklessly throwing yourself at someone's feet - to be an informed and thoughtful submissive is a rare and valuable gift to a ...

It is written in the first person, directly guiding the slave through these activities.
I found this book interesting because often, particularly in new Master/slave relations, the slave is unsure what to do to serve the Master and the Master is unsure how he wants to be served. This ...

There is another advantage to this book: Ms Martin points out that people who fill out lists of kinky activities that may ...

It is from a gay male perspective and would probably not be of tremendous interest to hets or lesbians, but gay & bi/pansexual bio- & transmen should thoroughly enjoy Bean's work, no matter what their level of involvement in BDSM. He covers a wide variety of topics ranging from leather to bondage, BDSM relationships to finding partners, play parties to tools, etc. Plus Bean focuses on the importanct of the safe, sane & consensual principles.

| 44. Female Domination by Elise Sutton I'm being generous and giving this book three stars for effort. The author tries hard to give a psychological basis for the supposed reasons for the male desire to be dominated. There are serious errors with her reasoning and claims however. My own research in sexual submissive desires reveals a high correlation with success and stress in men and women. That is, men and women in more stress-filled positions with more responsibilities tend to favor their mate being more sexually dominant. Other research too shows the same result.

Rope Bondage: Precision and Persuasion with Rope with DVD (S/M Tech): Precision and Persuasion with Rope (Dem-lab Presents S/M Tech) by Scott Smith This is the third in a series of rare products put out by this publisher. Each one is a gem. In this production, mountain rescue expert Scott Smith teaches basic knots (there is actually a special section for this with close-up photos), basic rigging hardware, and lots of safety techniques. Much of Scott's demonstration covers ways to do single-limb and double-limb restraints. All in all, this video and book has captured the core concepts of rope bondage and succeeded in presenting this material in a for that is easy to understand and follow.

The Toybag Guide to Erotic Knifeplay (Toybag Guide) by Miranda Austin Being new and therefore somewhat inexperienced with the aspect, I found the information presented in Erotic Knifeplay quite informative. I enjoy consensual forced-sex scenarios and I was curious about using a blade as a prop. There is a whole lot more to this than I imagined. Given the depth of information imparted concerning the sensory aspects alone, there is much to be considered carefully before deciding to use a blade in your play. The information was presented in an easy-to-understand format by authors with in-depth personal viewpoints. Kudos to the authors for the quality of their ...

(Eager To Please has to be one of my favs.) Anyway, when I came across this book, I was curious and have to say, it left me with my mouth hanging open a few times! However, it was very interesting, to say the least, and a MUST read for anyone who is thinking of this sort of lifestyle.

Written primarily from a Fem Domme point of view, the book has some interesting information. It also has some cute illustrations at the start of each chapter and some witty section titles.There is good information on shaving, how to clean your leather clothes, a great list of movies with "SM-type scenes" in them, and chapters on knot-tying and "SM yoga" type exercises. There's also good advice for getting "toys" past airport security.However, there were a few sections I was uncomfortable with. ...

| 51. The Ties That Bind by Vanessa Duries This book magically recounts the adventures of a real-life s/m practitioner. Each page is filled with irresistable scenes. Like "The Story of O," this book is great entertainment and fodder for the imagination. But unlike "The Story of O," "Ties that Bind" is more realistic. The characters lived out sexual fantasies from time to time, but did not live in a s/m utopia not possible on earth. Readers be warned: this book is not for those who do not appreciate the special entity that is s/m.

The vast majority of these are very personal, dealing with her kink, her experiences, and her feelings. Only a few are really about topics of general information and even these are based on her experiences. Overall if you know who Sadie is and have enjoyed her online columns this book is a good way to catch up. If you aren't familiar with her, you'll get to be as you read. I really wish the entire book were organized chronologically instead of by subject because I think that would make our journey into her mind more powerful.

| 54. I Once Had a Master by John Preston It's so easy to wander out into pure fantasy when writing about D&s. While i'm sure he embelished a bit for effect (what author doesn't), Preston captures so wonderfully the ecstacy that comes from releasing control and been totally dominated (even when writing from a Top's perspective). Highly recommended to the novice; it's about as real a perspective on domination and submission as you can expect in erotica.

The price: the next three years of his life. ¶ Now, willingly enslaved by the enigmatic man known only as Montclair, Timothy is imprisoned on a lavish estate. Here, his harshest nightmares--and most erotic dreams--are about to become reality. Never looking back, Timothy plunges into a bizarre, ...

It is NOT fantasy. She has honed her skills to a point that she is an expert at the exchange of power that is paramount to a BDSM scene. This book isn't all about pain or bondage. This book isn't all about fantasies. This book is about power, control and sensuality. You hear about her feelings while she is doing what she is doing. You hear about what her bottoms are feeling. You learn how she gets into their heads and hearts. I'm amazed at the candor with which she writes. ...

His words resonate with my philosophies about BDSM. As some of you know, he has a weekly email column called "Leather Views" and reading this book in some ways is like an extended version of one of his column. His writing is always entertaining and usually thought-provoking, as is this book.Since this book applies to leather relationships, most chapters are devoted to topics relating to these kinds of relationships. From the beginning chapter on "leather vocabulary," to the chapter called "Archetypes of SM ...

Leave it to a Brit to point out the obvious to those of us living in their former American Colony.

In addition to the peculiar practices of some of the Saints, and in other ancient cultures, the author then examines Feudal Japan and the birth of Japanese Rope ...

No. You may enjoy this book, more than I, if the sensational is your cup of tea. I took one star off because it is written in a 6-8th grade level English and it was annoying.

As the book states clearly in the introduction, they could easily have changed a few pronouns and put the book into more universal language, but what would have been the point? Some of the illustrations used gay male examples of SM eroticism (the author must be seriously into boot polish! :) But it was pretty easy for me to mentally replace some of these erotic examples with some of my favorite fetishes as I read the book, to make it apply to me.I'm not sure this book would be a good ...

Today these ideas seem a bit old but this classic is something I highly recommend for anyone wanting to learn about leather history, gay leather culture, or ideas of biology and anthropology in relationship to kink. The culture Mains describes isn't always pretty, it isn't the cleaned up media picture, but it is an ...

Not that the pictures were lacking in style, composition, etc., but I wish I had bought the Japanese book instead (I think it's called the Art of Japanese Bondage). So, if you enjoy bondage as more of an idea, or are already well schooled in bondage and need some fresh ideas, go for it. Otherwise, I suggest you turn to other books.

The pictures are ok as black and white drawings, but some of them have been taken a step further from viewing ease some odd shading choices. Some pictures are very heavily shaded against a very dark/shaded background.

Hardy Haberman is an anomaly in these two worlds; a Leatherman of great skill who can write about it with a descriptive clarity. The true-life stories of Hardy's journeys in "Playing With Pain" offer first hand experiences from playspaces and dungeons around the country.

Steve Diet Goedde manages to drag down Fetish to a mundane, almost evasive level. Some images are interesting, and the overall presentation good, but the models appear like unhappy housewives or spinsters. They allude to loneliness and boredom rather than mystery and excitement. I simply expected more from this book, especially after reading the "all-praising" reviews. A few pictures are skillfully composed, but the overall effect comes well short of indulging the reader in the ...

While there are numerous other excellent SM books on the market, John's book covers topics not normally covered in other "introductory SM books, like how to act at a play party, and taking memorable pictures of your own private scenes. Also included are sections on First Aid, "Stalking the Wild Submissive," (very important!) and ways to do scenes that are ...

When it's consentual between a man and a woman, it can be a stimulating element of sexual foreplay.It does not promote brutality or pain.

What is the meaning of BDSM, what is a training collar, what is a Gorean relationship.....
I feel the title is misleading and the book is another book geared toward people who are new or curious about the lifestlye. It doesn't bring anything new for people who have already started their exploration.

It doesn't appear that the author spent much time researching his subject (beyond looking at her pictures). While there are a respectable number photographs and some nice artwork by Dave Stevens and Robert McGinnis, there are far too many pages devoted to Silke's own drawings of Bettie, many of which are based on old movie stills or Olivia paintings.
