Consider this book a brief foray into the world of BDSM. It could be a great value in helping you decide whether or not to pursue such an interest. If you are looking for something more instructional however, this book dives only waist-deep, and it does little more than describe the sort of mischief that you could get up to. Certainly, it's worth reading, but don't expect to be an expert after doing so.

This is a great book for those who are curious about exploring their dominant side and who have partners wanting this from them.

Overall, I would recommend this book, but only for its extraordinarily helpful advice on choosing and maintaining your equipment and clothing. It also has excellent knot-tying advice and diagrams, and some helpful hints for basic pervertables.* *Everyday objects that can be used for kinky purposes.
