Book Reviews of How to be Kinky: A Beginner's Guide to BDSM
Book Review: Recommended Reading For Those Entering the Scene
Summary: 5 Stars
Those more familiar with the media-sensationalized aspects of the BDSM community expecting Morpheous to be the Marquis de Sade will be pleasantly disappointed. Morpheous is as erudite and intelligent as the Marquis but stresses constantly that all endeavours in the kink world be "safe, sane and consensual". This is the mantra which echoes throughout the book, as the author depicts and describes a vast array of delightful deviances and all the while states how they can be acted out without damaging either the body or the mind of anyone involved. Just as one should practice safe sex, so too should one practice safe kink.
This is not to say that sex and kink are one and the same, or that the latter is always accompanied by the former. The art of fetish is often sexually gratifying, but such things go so far beyond normal "vanilla" sex that sexual acts do not even need to be a part of kinky play. It is very complex and deep-reaching; the physical element of it is really merely the shell for its discovery of the psychological issues/qualities of its practitioners.
As such, "How To Be Kinky" is perhaps the best primer out there for those who wish to begin exploring interests they may only have dreamt of, and is vitally recommended reading for anyone new to offline kinky experiences. For those who wish to properly delve deeper still, Morpheous is working on a second book....
Summary of How to be Kinky: A Beginner's Guide to BDSM
For singles and couples looking to take a walk on the wild side but questioning where to begin, How to be Kinky offers the perfect starting place. Instead of emphasizing techniques and clinical issues, it takes a more practical approach, with advice on finding a scene, negotiating kinky play with a partner, maintaining boundaries, kinky uses for common household objects, and the proper protocol at fetish events, as well as the basics of BDSM play and role-playing.
