| SM 101 : A Realistic Introduction - Jay Wiseman It goes by many names:
bondage and discipline, dominance and submission, sadomasochism, and more.
In Jay Wiseman's SM 101, the long-taboo subject of consentual sadomasochism
is accurately, insightful presented in the context of adult human sexuality,
experience and tradition for the interested non-specialist general reader.
SM 101 surveys the entire spectrum of consentual sadomasochistic practices
from from bondage, to spanking, to erotic role-playing, and more. Now
in an expanded second edition, SM 101 includes a new chapter on starting
and running sadomaschistic organizations and events for consenting adults.
Commentaries and advice on many issues that come up for people in the S/M scene: relationships, the community (history, present, future, politics, social tips), enhancing the S/M experience, and more. Bitch Goddess - The Spiritual Path of the Dominant Woman - Pat Califia Are sex and spirit
really at war -- or can a woman achieve spiritual growth through the practice
of erotic domination? Prose and poetry by women, men and transgendered
inividuals of all sexual orientations, both dominant and submissive: Pat
Califia, Drew Campbell, Dossie Easton, Carol Queen, Cleo Dubois and more.
Filled with delicious
scenarios, this guide to do-it-yourself SM will explode the myth that
adventurous sex requires a dungeon full of expensive paraphernalia. Addresses the S/M
scene from the submissive perspective. Topics include: getting what you
want, connecting, negotiation, scenes and roles toward a new definition
of bottoming. A positive look at the submissive role. If you've ever wondered
about the ins and outs of bondage, spanking, or cross-dressing, look no
further. Come Hither is a frank, friendly guide on how to turn your secret
fantasies into satisfying expressions of love and desire. The official
resource guide for SM/fetish sex at the Institute for Advanced Study of
Human Sexuality, Come Hither proves that a little kink can be a lot of
fun. This book is packed
with well-thought-out advice served up with her classic unselfconscious
humor. The book covers both psychological and physiological aspects of
this popular play. SAMIOS, a lesbian/feminist
S/M organization, produced this book on S/M erotica, politics, and history.
There is also much useful commentary on coming to terms with S/M sexuality. - How to talk about
it and How to do it safely - Covers the language, the demystification
of S/M, psychological power, safety and theatrics. An experienced dominatrix
reveals herself as a modern-day successor of the Marquis de Sade, with
a touch of Nietzsche, Freud, and Jung. A detailed and philosophical examination
of sadistic practice in her own life, and the psychological, moral and
ethical issues connected to it. A book on tortures
inflicted by Church and State. Originally published in 1896, this strange
book will fascinate anyone interested in crime and punishment and the
never-ending saga of man's inhumanity to man. Chapters include: The Bilboes;
The Ducking Stool; The Stocks; The Whipping Post; The Scarlet Letter;
Pranks & Gags; Branding & Maiming; Public Penance; Military Punishment;
The punishment of Authors and Books. A breakthrough in
sexual literature, this work is a complete, comprehensive user-friendly
guide to and tour through the world of alternative sexual lifestyles.
While the topics are exotic and erotic, the authors handle each one in
a sensitive, thorough, analytical, and fascinating way and manage to explain
a secret world to those who might wish to visit. For the serious BDSM
lifestyler, this book may have some suggestions that you have already
heard of, but there are a number of them that are wonderfully creative.
If you have never made a whip before, this book has several suggestions
for the beginner. But, just sitting down and paging through the various
plans for fun toys makes this book well worth the price! It was written
with the spirit of sharing which is really commendable! That's what it's
all about! You won't regret buying it. No review While the material
on leather care is satisfactory, I find it most valuable where it speaks
on latex, a material that is both delicate and expensive. (not a good
combination). If just the warning not to use baby powder saved one garment,
the book would have paid for itself. With the same unerring
judgment that made Leatherwomen international successes, Antoniou gathers
the very best of today's cutting-edge women's erotica. Leatherfolk's author
list includes some of the best known names in the leather community: Dorothy
Allison, Geoff Mains, Sam Steward, Jack Fritscher, Mark Thompson, Guy
Baldwin, Wickie Stamps, John Preston, Pat Califia, Joseph Bean, and others.
The writing is honest and insightful. (This is not another how-to manual.)
I highly recommend this book to anyone seeking SM roots; this book offers
history, politics, spirituality, and anthropological self-study. A longtime player
in the dominance/submission scene guides readers through this rarely seen
world, and offers clear-eyed advice. He reveals the hidden basis of the
D/s relationship: care, trust and love between partners. An in-depth treatment
of S/M, including mental aspects, style, fantasy, technical details, and
a source list at the end. Whether you're an
experienced Leather person or just curious, there's something here for
you. You don't have to be Master either... bottoms, tops, switches, anyone
who likes sex, will find something here to learn, apply, and enjoy. A very erudite, comprehensive,
and searching study, which investigates masochism from a variety of perspectives. Autobiography by
a well-known and respected personality in the Southern California scene.
Mistress Nan writes about what it was like to grow up kinky during that
time in America, and about some of her many adventures in the decades
since. Nan plays with men and women, and tells these true stories with
a simple passion that makes them real. You are sure to find some moments
that are erotic, while perhaps others will be disturbing. In an expedition
through the s&m community of West Hollywood, psychoanalyst Stoller (UCLA
School of Medicine) talks with consensual sadomasochists. They discuss
their motivations and the ways they maintain a hidden community, as well
as the stresses that threaten its coherence. Annotation copyright Book
News, Inc. Portland, Or. "Sir" John has been
involved in the S&M, or sadomasochism, scene for over 20 years. And he
has kept a record of his experiences in the form of hundreds of notes,
letters, diaries, photographs, and even video tapes. This book is his
story--it is a surprising history of the movement that demonstrates the
tremendous variety of motives and relationships that exist within the
"scene." This book discusses
the history of torture, from the medieval to 1850. Roughly half of its
material is about England (mainly the Tower of London), and the other
half miscellaneous areas of continental Europe. It covers the well known
instruments, such as the rack, iron maiden, and guillotine. There are
also a lot of rare ones, such as the Duke of Exeter's invention. There
are even muzzles for nagging wives, and topless public bull whipping of
female criminals. Some wild stuff! This is a good book
for anyone who is curious about the art of S&M. It is written in sections
covering everything from simple knots and restraints to branding, cutting
and leather clubs. It is a very well written book and covers alot of ground.
If you are looking for answers to why you have always thought rope or
leather were exciting, this is the book for you. If you are looking for
naughty stories, pick something else. Rather heavy reading at points,
but overall - very informative. This is essentially
a collection of 15 sensual stories of dominance and submission by the
author of The Loving Dominant. However, it differs from other books in
that the action is realistic and do-able by novices. In addition, marginal
notes give hints and suggestions to permit the reader to duplicate the
scenes in relative safety. One of the better
instructional/overview S/M books. Lots of technical info (with illustrations
and photos) on bondage, leather, knot tying, whipping, spanking, promises
and pitfalls of dominant-submissive relationships, and the real-life S/M
scene. Sensuous Magic is
a friendly, non-threatening, helpful guide and resource for adventurous
couples who are interested in expanding the erotic boundaries of their
sexual relationships.... She captures the power of what it means to enter
forbidden terrain, and to do so safely with someone else, and to explore
the healing potential, spiritual aspects and the depth of S/M. The Topping Book - Dossie Easton, Catherine A. Liszt The Hows and Whys
of the dominant role, written by two experienced players. A serious look at
the gay leather sexual subculture and at those who "play on the edge."
Some of the material in this book may surprise and even shock those whose
only contact with BDSM has been het play, but the view is valid and the
people, real. This
is the first-person story of a professional dominant. The text may surprise
and shock, but it is clearly realistic. The author, Catherine Tavel, is
a well-known dominant in the West Coast scene.
The only translation
of Sade's cornerstone work, _Le Cingt Journees de Sodome_, this book also
contains other selections from both earlier and later writing periods,
including his play _Le Comte Oxtiern_ and two stories from the _Les Crimes
de Amour_ collection. There is also a thought-provoking essay by Simone
de Beauvoir, and a very academic review of Sade by Pierre Klossowski.
This book is a must for anyone with an interest in de Sade. This retelling of
the folktale explores the undeniable connections to sexual desire as the
Prince awakens Beauty not with a kiss, but with sexual initiation. The sequel to The
Claiming of Sleeping Beauty continues Rice's series of classic fairy tales
with an erotic flavor. The most explicit,
erotic series on audio reaches its culmination as "The Erotic Adventures
of Sleeping Beauty" come to an unforgettable close. The hottest excerpts
from this author's many novels. Known throughout the world for his portrayals
of punishment and pleasure, Little never fails to push readers over the
edge of sensual excitement. In a publishing world
surrounded by lustful Cossacks, English governess' and the standard myriad
of quasi-historical erotic fiction, The Catalyst, by Sara Adamson, stands
as a frankly honest yet impassioned exploration of SM play between adults
discovering it for the first time. Meet Carlton and
Sarah, two true connoisseurs of discipline. Sarah is having trouble training
her submissive. This unusual situation prompts Carlton to propose and
unusual wager: if Carlton is unsuccessful in bringing Tina to a full appreciation
of Sarah's domination, Carlton himself will become Sarah's devoted slave.
Arden McLane, Jr.,
is a man without purpose, without ambition, without future, without a
clue. Then he finds his destiny in the sordid, subterranean world of DOMINA,
a wealthy woman of mystery and inflexible will. As one of her captive
minions, Arden finds through bizarre torments and transcendant emotions
truths he cannot deny. In Domina's cage, Arden finds the freedom to be
himself. No review When Lord Lovell's
son was expelled from his prep school for masturbation, he hired a very
proper governess to tutor the boy--giving her strict instructions not
to spare the rod to break him of his bad habits. Readers will be pleased
to know that _Exit to Eden_ is one of Rice's early works, and one of her
best. It is erotic, sexy and gently perverse. Rice brings to life the
sadomasochistic fantasy of middle America. Her language is rich, and the
sex is explicit. A riveting glimpse
of sexual extravagance in which a young man discovers his penchant for
flagellation and sadomasochism. Juliette is the story
of a woman who chooses resorts to vice as a means of extracting herself
from the low social position typically held by women in the eighteenth
century. Sade proves to be a fore-runner to Freud as a "sexologist" and
"sociologist" as he describes the use of sex as a tool for domination
and socialization. The debauchery of Juliette, termed "libertinage" is
her way of controlling men and gaining power in the society. She thus
victimizes in place of being victimized, a theory worthy of comparison
to Darwin's theory on survival of a species, but Juliette is ultimately
a victim of herself. "Juliette" and Sade's philosophy are better understood
having read "Justine or the Misfortune of Vertue" which depicts Justine,
the sister of Juliette, on a similar voyage although drawing her strength
from her virtuousness which ultimately renders her weak and vulnerable
to an onslaught of men and women willing to take advantage of her sexually,
monetarily, and sentimentally. Although other works
by Sade are included in this volume, _Justine_ and _Philosophy in the
Bedroom_ are the best known of the collection. This is domination
and submission at its best a very well written work that holds from page
to page. The second volume
in The Marketplace trilogy. The Slave covers the experience of one exceptionally
talented submissive who longs to join the ranks of those who have proven
themselves worthy of entry into the Marketplace. But the price, while
delicious, is staggeringly high. The long-awaited
conclusion of Adamson's stunning Marketplace Trilogy! Now these mentors
divulge their own secrets, and the desires that led them to become the
ultimate figures of authority. When a man and a
woman fall in love, it's supposed to be simple, uncomplicated, easy unless
that woman happens to be a dominatrix. Curiosity g ives way to unblushing
desire in this story of one man's awakening to the joys to be experienced
as the willing slave of a powerful woman. A collection of stories
sure to challenge Political Correctness in a way few have before, with
tales of women kept in bondage to their lovers by their deepest passions. The story of poor
Flora Price and the stunning punishments she suffers at the hands of her
cruel captors. At the age of nineteen, Flora is whisked to the south of
France, where she is imprisoned in Villa Close, an institution devoted
to the ways of the lash--not to mention the paddle, the strap, the rod.....
Perverse Judge Black
has built a secret room where he sentences his beautiful female prisoners
to hours of exhibition and torment while his depraved friends watch. Judge
Black's House of Corrections is equipped with one purpose in mind: to
administer his own brand of rough justice! No Review A haughty young aristocrat
learns what becomes of excessive pride when she is abducted and forced
to submit to unthinkable ordeals of sensual torment. Over forty essays
written by women actively involved in consensual dominance and submission.
Professional mistresses, lifestyle leatherdykes, whipmakers, titleholders
women from every conceivable walk of life lay bare their true feelings
about issues as explosive as feminism, abuse, pleasures and public image. Considered a classic,
this work is worthy to stand beside the best writings of the Marquis de
Sade. The story of O is a great story about what a person will do for
love. It symbolizes the slavery each of us chooses in our own life. Slavery
to what we want, namely, love. And what extremes we will do for it. It's
a deeply moving novel told in a frighteningly erotic way, which makes
it hard for some to see the true story. It's a book you can read over
and over and see more each time. Previously published. Antrews portrays
the very special elements of the dominant/submissive relationship with
restraint--this time with the story of a lonely man, a winning lottery
ticket--and the demanding dominatrix who brings meaning to his empty life. This classic 19th century novel epitomizes Sacher-Masoch's dark obsession with a cruel, controlling goddess and the urges that drive the man hel d in her thrall. Includes the letters exchanged between Sacher-Masoch and Emilie Mataja, an aspiring writer he sought as the avatar of his forbidden desires.
