Needs to be edited better, lots of typos. Quick and easy read though. I recommend it to people just starting out, if you want more instruction though you may want to check out different titles.
Great overview for intro to BDSM. Straightforward and good general information. Definitely recommend if you're curious and beginning your kink journey.
Good for a general gist, bad for detailed information
This book is not well edited. There were hundreds of typos, grammatical errors, and even times where the word Dom and Sub have been switched. I also thought the book had gender stereotypes. Often it would use masculine pronouns when talking about the Dom, assuming that the Dom is going to be a man, which is often not the case. I also think some of the tips for women were sexists.
As a person just starting out in BDSM, I did learn some helpful things from this book. There is still some value in reading it. However I would suggest that others use additional resources when learning about BDSM. This book is like an introduction pamphlet, good for getting the general word out, but doesn't have a lot of hard information.
This is good for people who are just getting into BDSM. It covers the very basics. Not exactly for anyone who has experience unless they need a refresher due to incorrect learning/training. I took a star away because the editing makes some sentences hard to read.
This is very beginning entry information, i read it more so from curiosity and the intention of readying the subsequent books. For such an entry level book i find it odd and a little unsafe how it’s introducing edgeplay already when they are plenty of more beginner appropriate activities that couldve been covered.
Interesting, informative and an ideal refresher. The author has broken BDSM down into easy steps. Some valuable reading. Unfortunately, there are a few grammatical and spelling errors.
