What took years for others to learn will only take you a few hours of reading this book. A kink 101 guide that will save you countless hours of research. BDSM activity is becoming more and more mainstream. A recent sociologist report published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine regards this as a leisure activity; for some it is, and for others it’s simply a way of life. The report states that those who engage in BDSM activity develop a sense of personal freedom, enjoyment, improved personal skills, a sense of adventure, self-expression, positive emotions, and decreased stress levels. I have seen over the past few years that more and more new people are introducing themselves into this form of erotic activity at various levels, and they all ask the same question: Where do I begin? This book will help answer many of those questions you have. Some of you may just want to tip your toe in the waters, so to speak, while others will just jump right in.There are tens of thousands of variations on the dynamics of this lifestyle, and it would be impossible to list them all. I have written this guide as a way for you, the reader, to get a foothold on many of the basics and dynamic possibilities involved in BDSM. Some of you may only be interested in bondage and domination, while others wish to incorporate the full spectrum that BDSM has to offer. I have included a glossary of terms, a questionnaire, and a standard M/s - D/s contract template. There is also a list of commonly used acronyms.
