Summary: The Perfect Starting Point For A Timid Beginner
Review: I purchased this book because, while I have been in a D/S relationship for several years, I have never played the dominate role. My husband has recently decided to try out his submissive side. I was TERRIFIED!!! I wanted to try it, but felt utterly clueless of where to start despite the fact that I have played the role of submissive for over several years with him.This book, while very short, did give me a starting point and helped me build enough confidence for our first scence with me playing to dominate role. (If you'd like to know, it went very well ~*big smile*~) I recommend this book for those curious, but have not tried it before, who feel timid, nervous and even clueless as to where to start. I also recommend that for those subbies out there who purchase this book for their "to be Mistress" to read it before you give it to her, but skip Chapter 11. It offers beginners advice and tips for both Mistress and sub. Thanks so much Lady Green!!!

Summary: Gotta be Cruel to be Kind....
Review: I read this book in about 20 minutes while sitting at the B&N. It's content is average at best. The way it is laid out the author seems to be lighting up the topic. That maybe be fine in some instances, but I dont think it works for the topic of dominance. Id recommend Claudia Varrin's Art of Sensual female dominance as a much better choice. That book is more in depth & does more to explore the psychology of the feelings behind being a dominant female - Which I found helpful in calming my nerves about my new feelings towards D/s.

Summary: Short work of female dominance
Review: Lady Green is not very verbose, which is OK but doesnt make for an in-depth book. I liked her style, but was disappointed in the length of her book. Female domination style play is somewhat involved, and her work on this subject is pretty brief. What she did write is good, but its like reading the readers digest condensed version of female dominance. If your looking for more, consider this book and Mistress Lorelei's book too. If your considering buying this book for your wife/girlfriend/whatever,and that person doesnt have much free time to read, this book is perfect. It will take her about an hour to read.

Summary: Good introductory work
Review: This book is a good introduction to female dominance, but if you have much experience, you will probably not find it too useful. It goes through some of the emotional/mental issues that a woman might face in starting out in this sort of scene/lifestyle. It does address the mental issues and reservations that some women might have with beginning to find their dominant nature. The book goes on to lay out a very basic scene to get you started as well, in great detail. I found this book to be very short, well-written, and easy to read, but it made me want to read more. I found the Mistress Manual by Lorelei to be a little more detailed in helping me decide what sorts of scenes interest me, so I would recommend that book in addition to this. This book has an excellent focus on safety and safe sex.

Summary: Fabulous Introduction to Female Dominance
Review: This book is for beginners, it says so in the title. As a book for beginners it is wonderful! I recommend it to anyone who is trying to interest their wife to bdsm. Very non-threatening explinations of bdsm. Lets her know your not a perverted child molester just becouse you might like a spanking. It explains why you might like this, and gives her several reasons why she would like this as well. Even includes a very basic beginning scene script to start you out with.
I do recommend if she reads this book, and likes it that you expand by getting another how-to book. This one is less a how-to book, and more a why-do explination.

Summary: Gotta be Cruel to be Kind....
Review: This book purports to be about alternative lifestyles... how to break into the world of S&M or BDMR... and if you really need to know the ropes, I suppose this book would be a good starting point. However, I found the illustrations to be overly childish and cartoonish. True, these few simple illustrations may set you at ease, and make an offensive topic more palatable, but let's be frank: This book is about one person's subjugation to another's abuse. Dress it up any way that you want, it's still about abuse, humiliation and (at its worst) torture. Is that what you're into? Then you already KNOW what this book will tell you. Perhaps it will give you a few vicarious thrills... or perhaps tell you of a few more practices that you hadn't heard of yet. If you're not, then this book will try to open your eyes and justify the lifestyle and practices. Do you really need that? It left me cold.

Summary: Wonderful Beginners Guide for the Sexually Curious
Review: This was a wonderful book for the curious beginner. It was written in a very clear and open style, defining terms as it went along. The author was careful to explain drawbacks as well as benefits of different types of dominant/submissive play, and gave many safety tips as she went along. Many suggestions for further reading were also given. The book is best for the beginner to BDSM, and works well for both dominant and submissive as a reference. For more experienced players, the safety reminders would be most useful.
