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. 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.

If you are already exploring bdsm then this book is a little light. There are some good ideas though. My wife and I have been exploring bdsm for a year so I found myself skipping most of it.

Good for newbies

I liked the book itself. It was informative and quite sexy. But there were several instances where the narrator must have made a mistake, which should be clipped out. Unfortunately, these instances were made obvious by a repetition of the line before it. I wouldn't bring it up except it happened several times and disrupted my enjoyment of what is, for all intents and purposes, a great guide to navigating kink.
