The perfect companion to BDSM – A Guide for Explorers of Extreme Eroticism. A comprehensive overview of the dysfunctional aspects of the kinky world, with practical advice on how to recognize and manage them before they cause psychological, emotional and relational harm. The text is supplemented by clinical notes from Prof. Fabrizio Quattrini, founder of the Italian Institute of Scientific Sexology.

BDSM can be much more than mere exploration for its own sake or performative sexuality. To restore its qualities as a profound – even transcendent – experience, however, we must understand what went wrong with kinky culture and how to dismantle unconscious and harmful behaviors. Perhaps even our own.

This book provides a comprehensive guide to avoiding or navigating the many mental, social, and emotional pitfalls encountered in the world of alternative sexualities. Its advice – based on scientific studies and decades of firsthand experience – enables us to live out our fantasies in the best possible way, from initial explorations to the search for the ideal partner, from building a healthy relationship to navigating communities and beyond.
