As
Seen Inside BDSM PLANET!!
Generation Fetish
is nothing less than a masterpiece of stimulating, artsy, fetish photography.
What's most striking is not just the imagery itself, scantily-clad, beautiful
girls are always striking, but the extraordinary way that Higgs incorporates
color and composition. The entire book is a psychedelic carnival of sexual
and fetish imagery showcasing lush and dramatic scenes, rich saturated
colors, weird angles and twists, and a collection of women who are undeniably
arousing make this book a dreamworld that even Gumby would get off on
... if he could get inside. ...More |

The Sleeping Beauty trilogy has to be the most enthralling and captivating
series I've ever had the pleasure of reading. I got the first book from
a friend, and as soon as I finished it I had to go out and buy the second
and third books. I couldn't put them down! I've always read a lot in the
past but never anything that actually kept me intrigued throughout the
entire book, let alone an entire series. These books awaken the dormant
animalistic desires that burn within us all. A definate must read for
anyone that needs some passion and excitement in their lives.

Sensuous
Magic is Pat Califa's basic intro to BDSM play. The book is somewhat short
and does not cover a very wide spectrum of play, however, it does provide
a good overview of the basics. If you are looking for a "how to"
book of techniques, you are better off with a book like SM 101 or Screw
the Roses, Send Me the Thorns.
However, Ms. Califia
does an excellent job at examining the psychology and spirituality of
BDSM play. She intersperses her words of wisdom with a few well chosen
fantasies that help new players to get a feel for how BDSM scenes might
work. ...More

This
book is a wonderful introduction to those seeking to explore their dominant
side. It is quite clear how John Warren earned his name of "Mentor".
His love and caring for the women in his life shines off of every page
in the book. The book serves not only as a wonderful technical book, it
serves as a benchmark of what a good "Master" should be. In
many ways I found that to be the best part of this book, it clearly shows
that healthy loving relationships can exist in this scene. Because of
his sensitivity, I found this book to be a wonderful way to introduce
women to the "scene". A wonderful read and a must have in any
good library. ...More |

The
deeper I got into this book, the more often I found myself saying "YES!"
in agreement with Philip and Molly's philosophies about doing SM. This,
along with SM 101 by Jay Wiseman is truly a "must have" book
if you're serious about wanting to learn what SM is all about.
The book covers
virtually every facet of play from descriptions of what each "type"
of SM players are, looking out for the "wannabes," negotiation
before playing, bondage techniques, flogging, spanking, and even humiliation.

This
is a must read for all the altsexers out there! In fact, even though I
am altsexer myself, I found the information in here invaluable in my "normal"
life. Many of the situations and attitudes that are pointed out by Campbell
apply to everyday situations outside of the community. I found this book
invaluable and an incredibly good reminder that people need to be polite
to each other. In fact, I've read passages of this book to straight friends
who have asked me how to act in certain situations and even though the
book was meant for altsexers it worked fabulously in straight situations.
I would say that this is an easy and fun read. It is something that I
think everyone should read altsex or not. We could all use a dose of politeness
every now and then! ...More |

It
can be difficult to balance between talking down to those who will feel
they have a lot of experience in BDSM and tallking over those who are
just learning about BDSM. This book does a good job of looking at a wide
range of activities and interests, some of them for the first time, so
that newbies can feel grounded while advanced kinky folk can mull over
the concepts. Even though the book grew out of Bean's own journey toward
becoming a master, I think the book can speak to anyone regardless of
vanilla sexual orientation. However the book often reads more like it
is geared toward the bottom or submissive partner in a relationship.

Brilliant
concept, brilliant title, brilliant work! The author dispels misconceptions
about BDSM and encourages the reader to use his/her creative imaginations.
Highly recommended for the clinical psychologist for his/her practice,
members of the legal profession for understanding, or even members of
sexual minorities looking for avenues of expression. A must read for anyone
interested in BDSM or cultural anthropology/cultural expression. A realistic
approach to this topic is what is needed most and this book delivers that
much needed realistic approach. Bravo! ...More

I
been involved in a true 24/7 BDSM Lifestyle for the past 25 years. Most
of the books written on the subject were either pornographic in nature
and/or lacking in the true understanding of the proper dynamics in a healthy
consensual BDSM Lifestyle. This book is WONDERFUL. I completely agree
with every aspect of this book. It is so well written and so informative
and accurate.
I usually do not read BDSM books because so many books are filled with
fantasy/nonsense. This book was refreshing. My slave and I read a chapter
at a time and discussed the topics. I enjoyed the authors interviewing
REAL people in the Life. You may not like/enjoy all the activities in
each chapter (who does!) but it is worth reading about and expanding your
mind. I give this book an extremely high rating and feel that the novice
out there would do her/him self a service to take the time to read this
book. ...More |

Varrin
relates her personal experiences with submissive fantasies as she introduces
the general D&S (dominance and submission) vocabulary and emphasizes
the emotional and physical benefits that can be derived from erotic surrender.

Who
would think that being tied up and beaten could be the most pleasurable
and empowering experience of one's life? Easton and Hardy's persuasive
enthusiasm convinced me.
Concise chapters map out a sensible and intuitive path to bring a novice
from fantasy to reality. 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 lucky dominant.
For anyone who has nervously surpressed their fantasies of being swept
away by a Powerful Creature or used mercilessly by a Stern Master, this
book simultaneously reassures, encourages and inspires. ...More |

Breaking
the Girl is one of the most intense and decadent books I have ever read!
The story of a couple whose kinky games of domination and submission take
over their lives is one of eroticism and suspense. I love how believable
the characters are. I also love the fact that the book is set in New Orleans
-- a city that's always fascinated me. I have become intrigued by this
brand of erotica -- BDSM -- and this book is as good as it gets... ...More |

This
book is quite amazing both in subject and style. I want to be Blue, what
woman doesn't? To be loved and obsessed over, to experience hard sex all
mixed in with adoration and domination, always knowing that the Master
worships you. The chapter called "Blue in Cuba" is too hot to
be real, to travel to exotic places and make up sexy stories at the same
time. 5+ stars to Patrick Linney for originality and lust.

Levi
L Cane is notorious for writing some of the world's most depraved stories.
His tales of bondage, punishment and sexual torment are always graphic
and he has been acclaimed for his attention to explicit detail. After
reading only one novel, Rose is convinced that she doesn't want to know
anything more about the author, or discover the secret of how he develops
his stories. But fate and circumstances work against Rose, leaving her
trapped and at the mercy of the novelist. Despite her reluctance, she
is soon on the verge of learning all about his meticulous research and,
with the help of the Servants of the Cane, it is a lesson she will never
forget. ...More |

extraordinary, but the vacation that high-powered executive Janice Singleton
books at a remote ranch in Wyoming overturns all her expectations when

and torture, Janice soon begins to take a masochist's delight in the bizarre
sexual rituals of the erotically masterful ranch hands. Under their tutelage
Janice headily embarks on a voyage of libidinous exploration and exquisite
release in this novel of lush sensual abandon. ...More |

I
enjoyed this book thoroughly. Our star Charlotte is captured on a Spanish
ship in the Med (1500's) by rebels. She realizes slowly what it involves
being a slave. Then she is captured by another pirate who subjugates her
and sells her to a slave market. But first she must be trained to be a
"proper" slave. The details are amazing, and as she is put on
the block for sale you begin to see that she was taught things and put
through exercises in an order that leads up to her being a "best
buy" the slave market. (eg: special exercises, dances, piercings,
training,etc.) There is some whipping, lots of hot sex, and great detail
to make it a very exciting read. I would highly recommend it, and am already
re-reading it. WOW! ...More |

Many
people interested in bondage have shied away from it for reasons ranging
from the emotional to the practical. Addressing the "whys" as
well as the "hows," Wiseman untangles all confusions and frustrations,
leaving no excuses not to knot.
The content focuses mainly on rope bondage. A couple of chapters cover
other types of restraints such as gags, hoods, tape, chains, webbing and
the ever-classic handcuffs. All equipment is clearly described and its
uses explained. Special attention is paid to the differences between poor
and high quality materials. Reading this book will prevent many unnecessary
disasters.
Unlike most typically dry books of instruction, Wiseman's friendly, nefarious
style keeps the pages turning. Even the most mundane details are sprinkled
with personal memories and wicked humor. Another excellent item from the
outstanding Greenery Press catalog. ...More |

Up
until now "The Erotic Bondage Handbook" was the most comprehensive
reference on rope bondage. However, while "The Seductive Art of Japanese
Bondage" isn't as comprehensive, I think that it is the better book.
The author Midori
is famous for her elaborate rope bondage scenes and this coffee table
format book show us why. The front cover is immediately arresting with
a woman in partial suspended bondage, standing on one leg, while Midori
supports her.
I like this book
very much, here is someone writing about something that they are not
only an expert at, but also who clearly loves what they are doing and
the effect it can have on others. Midori writes in a clear, easy style
that draws you in and gives you the feeling that with a bit of rope
you too can produce results similar to the illustrations.

Most
of us have read the familar white cover paperback version of this erotic
classic. Ms. Kloster has excerpted quite a bit of the text and illustrated
it with photographs taken on location in Paris. The full color photographs
exude a rich sumptioness of color and texture that would befit a fashion
shoot. The models are uniformly pleasing to the eye - the women nicely
built with an air of erotic fear; the men with a sexual menace. The photos
(and text) follow O as she is introduced to Roissy where her lover, Rene,
has taken her to learn the ways of sexual servitude. We see how she is
made to perform for several "masters" and is chastized by them.
Later after leaving Roissy, Rene introduces O to his older half brother
Sir Stephen. Sir Stephen eventually takes over ownership of O and delivers
her to Ann Marie (in a very delightful photo) where her training will
be consumated. There O has her labia pierced with a ring and her buttocks
branded by Sir Stephen. Along the way, she is whipped by another girl
while tied upright to a column(rather than spread eagle on a dias; this
is one area where Ms. Kloster's photography does not follow the original
text).The book concludes with O being presented to a group of party goers
- led naked by a leash attached to the ring in her genitals. Overall,
a good read and quite erotic. One can only wish that Ms. Kloster had even
more photographs to illustrate this "Story of O."

SHE
LONGED TO SURRENDER
Dana, a feminist, had always had fantasies about bondage and discipline
as long as she could remember. Then she moved into an old house with a
mysterious history. There, through very vivid dreams she is taken into
erotic BDSM experiences by the gorgeous ghost who inhabits her home, but
soon, that leaves her wanting more and she craves the real thing. Soon,
Dana is taken to an alternative club by a friend, and there she meets
Peter Weston, known as the Lieutenant. Dana and Peter's meeting is like
flame to tinder. When the Lieutenant demands she accompany him home, Dana
obeys. On an erotic journey of self discovery, Dana finds her feminist
ideals seeming to vanish when she discovers the freedom of total surrender.
Willingly bound in ropes and chains, Dana willingly and obediently becomes
Peter's love slave. "Enthralling, tantalizing, heady," Sibly
Whyte, former editor, The Fetish Times. |
