I do not recommend this book. This book offers out-of-date ideas, terms and information I've never heard, and suggestions that can create potentially harmful play scenes. I truly have nothing kind to say about this book.

A very detailed guide. Great for beginners, or for anyone who is just curious and wants a sneak peek into the lifestyle. This book made me feel quite empowered and bold. I think it would make a woman feel like she is unstoppable.

This book is definitely a beginner-oriented book, but it doesn't treat a female Dominant like one of those girl-magazine "Be Dominant In Bed" girls. It does truly explain what a lot of the activities are for a female that is serious about getting into BDSM.

According to author Claudia Varren, dominance & submission (D&S) is for everyone. However, the majority of the text features more intense D&S (anal play, fisting, heavy bondage, caning) and this could be a little scary for some one who is just thinking about it.
