Customer Reviews

Great introduction to safety if not to a basic philosophy

This book needs to be reprinted and short of that copies need to circulate so that it very valuable information is in every would be top or bottom or switch. The health information could also use an update too but by and large it is still an good guide toward all sorts of safety concerns ranging from disease, to physical stresses, to emotional vulnerability. I can't say that the community the authors refer to over and over is one I've ever really seen or that I agree with all of the philosophical comments they make, but it is a book I recommend that people read if they are interested in basic health issues involving BDSM.

Good basic health book

Very thorough in its scope in terms of medical and health issues, Trevor Jacques' books lacks details about how to do certain things in "BDSM" which a reader might expect. No, this is not a how-to book, this a calm and serious approach to questions about the human body and its reactions to different activities encompassed in "BDSM". However, this subject in and of itself is so large that Jacques' work can only be an introduction. Use it as a starting point then research specific interests in greater detail. A "must have" for all beginners in my opinion.
