A comprehensive guide to BDSM for beginners of any gender/ sexual orientation. The main topics include: introduction to BDSM in general (What is BDSM? What might encounters/relationships look like? Why do people enjoy it?), SSC & RACK, consent, how to plan a scene, translating fantasy into reality, technique (bondage, flagellation, sensory deprivation, anal/vaginal play, skin sensation, mental technique), BDSM gear, safety, getting started in the community and finding partners. Due to the multitude of topics a lot of the information is relatively shallow, but the book gives a great overview for absolute beginners, including the most common pitfalls, like not knowing about safety considerations or not knowing what gear to buy. I would definitely recommend this to kink-curious friends!
