| 1. Burlesque and the Art of the Teese / Fetish and the Art of the Teese by Dita Von Teese For starters, this book really is a bargain price: Dita could easily have priced this at £30 or £40. It's a substantial, heavy hardback, full of quality glossy pages. The book is split into two sections- the front is Burlesque and the Art of the Teese, but flip the book over and the book is called Fetish and the Art of the Teese. Each section equates to pretty much half of the book, so there is no preference shown for one or the other. Inside, most of the full page photos are accompanied by a page of text, so it's not just a book of photos, there is also a lot about Dita herself. She reveals ...

| 2. Story of O by Pauline Reage Written, in a time when erotica and SM were strictly taboo, this novel is devoid of the coarseness that is usually found in works handling the subject. The cover tells that this is neither a work of fiction nor an autobiographical account. I believe it to be a combination of the two. From the very first page I was gripped. Who indeed, would think that a walk in the park would lead so quickly to a journey which would change ones life, so completely, forever? So in love is O, that at the Chateau Roissy she abandons all sense of self, stability and safety and commits utterly to her lovers ...

The Mistress Manual: A Good Girl's Guide to Female Dominance (Erotic) by Lorelei I don't usually gravitate towards the dominance side of bdsm but I did have a lover at one time who wished to explore his own submissive nature.

This is not a simple overview of female dominance or bdsm techniques but a true manual that takes you through the evolution of becoming a Mistress and the enacting of fantasy with your male partner. If you are new to the concept of female dominance this is an excellent book to guide you through the pleasure and pain of being ...

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.

This isn't a book for anyone hoping to build on existing BDSM know-how, and nor is it meant to be. The book acknowledges that femdom can be intimidating for the novice lady and thus it's aimed at novices, intending to reassure and guide those who may doubt their abilities to act the ...

| 8. Screw the Roses, Send Me the Thorns: The Romance and Sexual Sorcery of Sadomasochism by Philip Miller I bought this book after about a year into BDSM. It manages to be pretty encyclopaedic on the important areas and makes some good points on safe play. It's also useful as a general 'how do you do that?' guide ... but there's something missing. For a book with the subtitle 'the romance and sexual sorcery of sadomasochism', this manages to convey very little of the 'wow' factor of good BDSM. Maybe the fact that I've never been into group scenes is colouring my judgement, but at times, the tone gets a bit - dare I say - 'worthy but dull'. It's certainly difficult to convey on paper how much ...

The language, style, degree of repetition and statements of the stunningly obvious all combine to give the impression that the first third or so of the book was written with ten-year-olds in ...

I had visited several websites' discussion pages, but found the things there a bit cliquey and not very helpful.SM101, on the other hand, was extremely useful. The book assumes no prior knowledge of S & M, but takes the reader through the principles of playing, how to play safely, use of safewords and contracts. It then goes on to look at some of the techniques used, such as whipping, ropework, blindfolds ...

It is a tribute to the open-mindedness of modern publishing that such an extreme text which was for so long out of print and unavailable in English, is here offered to the reader at a knock-down price. Even the most casual reader cannot avoid being at once fascinated and repelled by the graphic descriptions of morbid yearnings never satisfied despite beatings, humiliations and tortures to soul and body. The painting about which Sacher-Masoch dreamed so vividly and to which frequent reference is made throughout the text is ...

Shibari You Can Use: Japanese Rope Bondage and Erotic Macrame by Lee "Bridgett" Harrington I've got Midori's book and although beutifully illustrated it was rather too complicated to follow for a beginner like me. This on the other hand doesn't have pretty colour photo's (hence not being 5 stars) but does have clear instructions starting from the most basic ideas and working up to eleborate designs; my wife loves the idea of the rope corsets although we do need about 60 feet of rope. Pictures are in B&W and the printing quality is pretty low, think laser printed photos, but there are lots of them!

It takes the story forward, revealing the eventual fates of the principals in the trilogy.I don't want to spoil anything for you, so I'll not go into depth on what occurs.

After a healthy orientation to the world of Leather, the book divides into two main parts: how the slave is to behave in public Leather events and how the slave is to prepare the evening for a formal High Leather Protocol dinner. 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 ...

"Justine", "Philosophy in the Bedroom" and Other Writings by Marquis de Sade People intrested in sadomasochistic sex are often thought of as people who are on the fringe of society, as people who have not learnt the rules and who cannot fit in. Sade however was obviously very intelligent, his philosophies are well thought out and contain ingenious analogies. Having studied numerous similar religeous theologies for several years I found it was very stimulating to read a convincing argument of the contrary. He does a good job of making a life of vice and selfishness sound a excusable path to choose. One last point, I think the Dialogue between a priest and a dying ...

Our whole lives consist of suppressing our natural urges and instincts out of respect for the rights of others; in that sense, the human is never free, we are always a slave to the opinion and respect of others.

| 29. Story of O part II by Pauline Reage The 'Story of O' fasinated, enthralled, disturbed and aroused me. I was hoping for more of the same. In 'Return to the Chateau' however, Reage seems to have abandoned O to the whims of the mostly absent Sir Stephen. He returns her to the place of her initiation, alone this time, to be prostituted and cry herself to sleep each night. I so wanted her devotion to be rewarded - but maybe a true submissive does not even hope for that? Is this the point Reage wants us to see? I'd make a terrible subbie I think.

This is beautifully written from the two main characters points of view, Lisa and her slave Eliot, which provides a magnificent emotional depth to the tale. This book manages to be intensely sexy and erotic without either of the characters coming across as being degraded even in the strongest of scenes. You will want to read the whole thing in ...

It is a weird mix of being instructional and factual (although most of it is stuff that you find in abundance online of you look) and being an insight into some in my mind too personal matters. However, I think this is a good book for anyone who has a beginning interest in bottoming, and for those who are more experienced it will offer a little more than just an updated library. It is one of those books that makes the attempt to cover most of the scene in a rather limited amount of ...

| 32. Beauty's Punishment by Anne Rice (writing as A.N. Roquelaure) I enjoyed the Beauty trilogy too and agree with an earlier reviewer that it has an ongoing eroticised element and some effective punishment scenes. But, for this reader, there's too much preamble between the punishments. You have to read for a long time to actually reach a climax and can end up skim reading page after page. I think that Sarah Veitch is better value - she'll have erotic whipping, caning, effective talking down and forced-to-strip-in-public humiliation in a single chapter whereas in some of the Beauty books you have page after page where a man is simply crawling about ...

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.

| 51. The Love of a Master by John Preston This is an unforgettable man-on-man erotica from the grand master of gay S&M fiction. John Preston's powerful and darkly insightful classic "The Love of a Master", follows the Master's patient, deliberate and wickedly inventive training of his two boyish but determined devotees as they release themselves to their submissive natures, to the "fear and anticipation" that comes with true service.

This book is unique in that it covers the philosophies and psychology of real life dominance and submission -- not role play or scening, but living as dominant and submissive. For those who have read the Marketplace series of books by Sara Adamson, this is a handbook for that kind of realtime slavery -- attitudes, general guidelines for training, helpful thoughts, things to look out for, goal setting for slaves and training, and so forth. It sets out codes of ethics, models for ...

However, it's not made at all clear to the potential buyer that the focus of this book is the gay (male) leather community. Although people from other fetish lifestyles could also find this book interesting, it's written mostly for the benefit of leathermen and there should really be some indication of this in the title or description.
In some places, the author has a tendency to allow his personal opinions of particular practices to influence his writing a little too much, but this is easily ...

| 58. The Art of Spanking by Jacques Enard This is a nicely put-together book and many of the drawings are very erotic. However most of the book is text which in my opinion is mildly entertaining but not much more. Enard lacks the attention to erotic detail which makes Manara so brilliant. Also, my preference is for Manara's more finished artwork -crisp lines and perfect forms, and much of the work here is rougher -pencil and chalk rather than pen. Worth owning, but if you're looking for that classic 'Manara look' choose something else, possibly Butterscotch.

| 62. Alazar's Book of Bondage: v. 1 by Alazar A nice collection of black and white pencil drawings, featuring (unsurprisingly) tied up women in various states of undress. Don't expect explicit sex or nudity - that's not what this is about. There aren't as many captions, nor as amusing, as in volume two, and overall I probably preferred that one over this selection. If you like this sort of thing, though, it's unlikely that you'll regret buying it.

In "Pedro" a college boy has a summer affair with a truck driver, while in "Interludes", a lonely bottom develops his body to perfection, then seeks out the daddy who will cherish this gift.

Robin is a fascinating character; the medium through which Antoniou conveys the psychology behind BDSM, from humble beginnings in the realms of fantasy and phone domination through to the real life situation she now finds herself in. That said, she pales somewhat in comparison to the series' most enigmatic character - Chris Parker. We see him in a different light to the first book; he is more personal and ...

Normally I love biographies, but this was basically just a 200 page advert for Princess Spider's services. Towards the end of the book she also wrote about how people were now going to fetish clubs and using the net to meet their kink needs instead of visiting professional Dommes, which made me think this even more. I kind of got the impression she was concerned about potentially losing business and thought this book might help her out (which I rather suspect it will to be honest). I wouldn't mind a 200 page advert so much if it made scintilating reading, ...

The Compleat Slave: Creating and Living an Erotic Dominant/Submissive Lifestyle [Complete] by Jack Rinella What i didnt know when i bought this book is that the authour is gay, i dont mean this in any homophobic way but as a female into domination I found some of the writing just for the gay male rather than aiming at different audiances. The book does mention alot about getting involved in the lifestyle - but more for someone who is single or swinging for someone in a long term relationship it might be a bit different and off putting when the author just talks about how to get a different man each night.

The romance is okay, though you see what's going to happen from a mile away. The killer is a bit formulaic - he would have been good in the early 90s, but today we are far more gripped by the ones that play with our heads. We get in his head some, certainly, but not to a degree that leaves goosebumps on the flesh.
It is a solid read, though, even with these ...

I sort of wanted to take her aside and perhaps suggest she might try the real life kinky scene instead. Because, you know, she lives in Los Angeles.
