Summary: Ann Landers or Abigail van Buren?
Review: Even in the Homosexual world of BDSM: Advice colums are best saved for Ann Landers and Abigail van Buren. This title serves to embarass the gay community of our BDSM community because it is only commentary and the perspective of one individual. Advice columns are that way and dangerous if taken too seriously or for purposes other than for entertainment. Highly entertaining, but nothing more.

Summary: Sexual preference does not apply
Review: I am a 54 year old female, heterosexual, submissive. When no one else was listening or writing, Guy Baldwin and other gay leather folk were. These early classics are as good now as then. A part of the magic of Guy Baldwin is that sexuality, yours or his, is irrelevent to the real truths and possibilities of this lifestyle.

Summary: One of the best five books out there on BDSM....
Review: I feel as if I have read the most thought out guide into SM. Full of everyday thoughts and ideas that are shared by all of us. This book consists of information that is applicable to men and women of all ages. In addition, the essays can guide you to a leval of insight and self awareness of a higher level of spirituality. This is a book that I will share with great pride to my teachers and students through their journey of SM.

Summary: Not a Bally bavel in sight!
Review: I was shocked to say the least. Not one mention of bavels. I would have thought that I, Mistress Saskiella of Roxburghshire, would have had a mention also.Damn you people. Damn your foolish ways.

Summary: The Best Book on BDSM lifestyle available
Review: If you are trying to understand the BDSM Lifestyle, want to get into it or just are interested in how people can "hurt so good", then this is the book! Mr Baldwin is the "John the Baptist" of the BDSM (Bondage/Discipline, Sado/Masochism) movement and a truly eloquent writer. Even if you have never "played" you will be moved. This book has changed many a life and turned many people (male and female) onto this lifestyle. Forget "the Story of O" and read the REAL THING.

Summary: Whoa amazing!
Review: If you want to know about the history and magic of BDSM, read this book. Read Leatherfolk as well. This is a great way to gain a deeper knowledge of the magic that experienced players know about. If you're just beginning to explore this path, read these books, but don't forget A Different Loving and Screw the Roses, Send me the Thorns.

Summary: Relationship Advice for People into S&M and D/s
Review: Mr. Baldwin's book is a wonderful collection of very well written and accessible essays covering the interpersonal aspects of the S&M scene. Guy Baldwin is both a psychotherapist and an experienced S&M practitioner. While the essays were originally written for a gay male S&M magazine, it's easy for women and heterosexual men to read past the pronouns and benefit from his insights. It's one of those books you want to share with your (kinky) friends as soon as you've finished reading it.

Summary: Not what I expected
Review: When I read the previous reviews on this book, I though great, some middle-of-the-ground information regarding BDSM - after having just finished reading the Topping and Bottoming books...but I was a bit surprised that the majority of the essays in this are from the male homosexual perspective.(I am hetero, primarily bottom) The reviews and book summary here did not hint at that. Yes, it is good to read the gay/lesbian side of BDSM, but that's not why I bought this book. Will be sending it back.
