Best Book on the Topic of Domination

Monique Von Cleef was deported to her native Holland in the 1970s. Her crime was running a house of fantasy. She specialized in the fetishes of men. They were able to live out their dark desires in a safe and sane environment. There was never any sex at the House Of Pain. Men came from all social stratas to practice their masochistic desires. From a psychiatrist to a prominent jurist , they played out their dreams.Ms. Von Cleef took extensive notes and lets us share the experience vicariously. The customers fetishes are explored in detail. This was a great way to learn about this dark side of human nature.
