Are you looking for something a little more daring in your sex life? Not sure how to go about it? Need a little more oomph in your love life? Why not check out the book : AS KINKY AS YOU WANNA BE: YOUR GUIDE TO SAFE , SANE AND SMART BDSM by Shanne Germain.

This book is a nice introduction to some of the things in the kinkier lifestyle. It is a nice look at some of the hot topics for beginners. Not only does it give some information but it also contains interviews and erotic stories to go along with the subject matter. There are writers and educators giving their opinions and thoughts in these interviews. Some of the things covered in this book range from toys to safety and many things in between. AS KINKY AS YOU WANNA BE glances over some subjects and in my opinion it should not be used as a how to book but as an introduction to some of the subjects in the kinkier lifestyle. This is a light book that gives people a glimpse into a world that they may not be aware of or are looking to join.

It was nice to see that the book talks about many of the important things like communication and safety. It also includes a glossary of words and a resource guide that gives readers a few more books and such to check out in the future. This is a book that lets you begin to explore and if you are not brave enough for that; to just look and imagine what could be out there if you decide you want it. With a certain movie out there these days and its popularity many people are trying new things and seeing some things in a new light. This book lets them see and begin to try to understand and maybe even take a chance on a little kink.

AS KINKY AS YOU WANNA BE: YOUR GUIDE TO SAFE, SANE AND SMART BDSM is a good starting point for some communication for those interested in trying for a bit more spice in their lives.

SUMMARY

As Kinky as You Wanna Be is not an instruction book. It wonÒ€ℒt teach you how to tie up your squirming lover or choose the proper lube. Rather, it teaches you how to be a kinky person who has safe, sane, and smart experiences. Like a touristÒ€ℒs guide to BDSM, As Kinky as You Wanna Be offers a road map to your own kinky self. This book helps you discover which kinky countries you want to visit, gives you tips and techniques on the language of BDSM, and helps you navigate the customs and rituals of the kink community. With sections on discovering your pleasures; talking about kink with your partner, your family, or your doctor; staying physically and mentally safe; putting your kinky dreams into practice; and dealing with difficult situations, As Kinky as You Wanna Be is your guide and confidant. The book features informative interviews with BDSM experts such as Jay Wiseman and Lee Harrington, and it is sprinkled with stories from top erotica authors like Janine Ashbless and Rachel Kramer Bussel. Whether your first kinky experience or thousandth, As Kinky as You Wanna Be guides you Ò€” safely and smartly.
