Easy to read, brilliantly structured, and the best over-all view of BDSM I have seen.
The world of BDSM is quite different from the way erotic domination is depicted by pornography and psychiatric literature. The switch from fantasy to reality often puts in touch with surprising practices and people, capable of turning the most unexpected situations into sensual experiences.
Knowing yourself and your partner therefore becomes just as important as correctly handling your tools and toys, as you find yourself facing obstacles you never imagined. To experience these new pleasures in the best possible way, passion needs to be balanced by common sense – and a few notions of psychology, medicine, law, physics…
It is a fascinating exploration, not without risks, for which it’s not easy to find expert guides you can trust. So, in the absence of a map, you proceed by trial and error – sometimes for years – until finally discovering your ideal way of living extreme eroticism.
After my own long search, I thought that sharing my experience developed over twenty-five years of practice in a book may well be the best way to make the path easier for my fellow adventurers. It was a much harder task than I expected, helped along the way by many Italian and foreign experts.
From the natural instinct for domination and submission shared by all mammals to the reality of 24/7 relationships, from the finer psychological games to the most intense forms of physical play, BDSM is now the most complete collection of information about an otherwise often misunderstood world.
Bon voyage!
