The Ultimate Guide to Kink

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.

This 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 of The Ultimate Guide to Kink 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.
