I liked that many of the contributors to it were actual experts and teachers on the subjects that they speak about in the book. THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO KIN also contains a resource guide at the end of the book with a lot more facts including information on the contributors, which was a plus for me. I was glad to find that many are in the world that they speak of but also educators in it. I loved how this book focuses on explaining things to the reader and shows that it is ok to want what ever strikes your fancy and not to be ashamed about it. Communication and trust are always important and that is addressed in many parts as well. Whether or not you are going to try all that is in the THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO KINK or not there is a lot of information to gain from this book. It is easy to follow and some subjects even come with diagrams to give the reader a better understanding about the information given. I imagine that THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO KINK answers many questions that people want to know about the world of kink and maybe even some that you did not know you had.

SUMMARY

The Ultimate Guide to Kink is the first major guide to BDSM in a generation—a bold and sexy collection of essays that run the gamut from expert how-to tutorials to provocative essays that delve into complex questions about desire, power, and pleasure. The book brings together diverse voices from the kink community in an unprecedented way: each chapter is written by a different sexuality/BDSM educator. Divided into two sections, the first section features thorough, thoughtful pieces—on everything from flogging to bondage—packed with techniques and beautifully illustrated with original images from artist Katie Diamond. The second section is dedicated to role-playing fantasies and personal manifestos. From age play to masochism, these chapters cover some of the edgiest, most taboo and controversial elements of kink in depth. The Ultimate Guide to Kink features the expertise of renowned educators writing passionately on their favorite subjects, including Patrick Califia, Midori, Laura Antoniou, Barbara Carrellas, Lee Harrington, Jack Rinella, Lolita Wolf, Madison Young, Hardy Haberman, Felice Shays, Ignacio Rivera, Sarah Sloane, Mollena Williams, FifthAngel, and Edge. It will educate, inspire, and challenge both newcomers to the world of kink and experienced BDSM players.
