Summary: Well written, informative and full of smiles
Review: My Congrats to Mistress Payne for the style and grace in this book. The pages are filled with information, how to's and the sections on knots come only from someone who truly understands this art of love making.The light hearted aspects of the writing blend into an excellent form, giving us all an easy to read manual on some of the basics as well as the advanced aspects of bdsm. She makes being a Domme an artform and shares some of her best ideas. The imagination and insight is extradoridinary and this book is a must for anyone who knows the joys of bdsm or for those who are seeking it for the first time. Beginner, novice or skilled Domme will find this book a pleasure to read and learn a thing or two from the talented, clever way this lady has found to mix mirth and knowledge together into one book. Well Done, Mistress Payne!

Summary: A fun way to let your lover know you're interested!
Review: Patricia Payne has written an excellent ice-breaker for the couple that has one partner that is interested in B/D/S/M. It's fun to read, fun to share and has just enough information to spark the creative juices! I gave it as a gift to my wife and it has enhanced our lovemaking and we often now venture into the world of B/D/S/M. I gave her this book to slightly prod her and it worked! But it is also just a fun book to read that has some entertaining sections and some cute illustrations A good book for testing the waters of the world of Dominance and Submission. You're "bound" to enjoy it!

Summary: Somewhat Interesting..Somewhat Not
Review: The author takes a light-hearted and "campy" approach to introducing SM to your partner. Written primarily from a Fem Domme point of view, the book has some interesting information. It also has some cute illustrations at the start of each chapter and some witty section titles. There is good information on shaving, how to clean your leather clothes, a great list of movies with "SM-type scenes" in them, and chapters on knot-tying and "SM yoga" type exercises. There's also good advice for getting "toys" past airport security. However, there were a few sections I was uncomfortable with. For example, advising the cleaning of toys with vodka? Huh? Anti-bacterial soap or rubbing alcohol works just as well for sterilizing toys. Also, ripping up hotel bedsheets to use as bondage ties? I would imagine a hotel manager might bill you for those ripped-up sheets. I also was a bit uncomfortable with the chapter on gags. While she does mention safety precautions to a certain extent, I would never gag anyone with tape to hold a gag in place. There's too much possibility of things going wrong IMHO. This book has good and not so good information. Hence the three star rating.

Summary: A 'Must Read' for the curious and
Review: This book has the potential to change the worlds view of BDSM. You have managed to bring humor, compassion, safety, and reality to a subject too long taboo. Your book is an excellent start point for any novice. It's not just good reading, humor, and flash. It truly covers the important topics for any novice to consider and it does it with the taste and class to make it not just palitable but even enticing for those who's impressions of this lovestyle have been tainted by the Geroldo and Jerry Springer type shows. It has an added bonus of being a great resource for many people just looking to spice up their sex lives with mild play and sexy clothing. I admire your accomplishment and thank you for bringing this topic into the mainstream where, hopefully, it will be met with more tolerance and understanding thanks to your book.

Summary: Great book, very well written
Review: This book is terrific. I have been searching for a good introductory resource that also stimulated some initial ideas for scenes and this book did both. After purchasing three other titles I found what I was looking for here. I hope there is a volume II in the future.
