Listopia > Realistic BDSM & Kink

This is a list for realistic BDSM fiction firmly grounded in the actual practice. Historical fiction is possible as long as the participants in the scening follow current SSC or RACK practices.

TPE and "contract-books" should NOT be added unless they detail that each partner can get out of any contract or relationship at the drop of a word.

Books which contain scenes of non-con play, even minor, should also NOT be added!

Please do NOT add:

Glitterkink, billionaires, alphamales, prostitution (as in the BDSM occurs with a prostitute), mindfucks, non-con, rape, brainwashing, meta-consent, curbed safewords etc., TPE, BDSM without SSC/RACK.

Authors: Don't just add your books here because you discover there's a "BDSM" in the title. If your books are non-consensual or feature unrealistic BDSM (meaning: it would never happen like this in consensual, informed play), then don't add your books! This is not a means for advertising, it is the single list on GR where we want to gather books with realistic (to the actual lifestyle) BDSM. Please respect this!
