Though it goes by many names; bondage and discipline, dominance and submission, etc, the long-taboo subject of consensual sadomasochism is shrouded in a world of fantasy and mystery to the non-experienced. Thankfully for those of us not in that world, we have Jay Wiseman. A respected relationships and sexuality author, teacher, and SM practitioner with over 25 years experience, Wiseman surveys the entire spectrum of SM practices, from bondage, to spanking, erotic role-playing and more in this updated version to his 1992 classic. Insightfully presented in the context of adult human sexuality, experience, and tradition for the non-specialist reader, SM101 presents a realistic guide that has "taught the fundamentals of safe and exciting SM to tens of thousands." In this expanded second edition, Wiseman incorporates several updates, and a brand-new chapter on starting and running an SM organization or event. The first part of the book pertains to explaining SM terminology, the mechanics of erotic pain, including the use of clamps, bondage, flagellation, torture, and humiliation. The second part introduces readers to SM organizations, SM relationships, and how to create specialized scenes for SM play. Being an experienced player, Wiseman moves somewhat quickly over the introductory phases, which may be a hindrance to beginners, but this is a minor drawback. As a definite must have for anyone contemplating the BDSM scene (either publicly or intimately), SM101 is a classic that only gets better with age. (Sex Books)
