The Ultimate Guide to Kink

I finished reading The Ultimate Guide to Kink by Tristan Taormino a few weeks ago, but I find myself rereading several bits of it in the last few days. The listed author is Taormino, who is a prominent name in BDSM literature. However individual sections are written by other well-known authors.

As the title suggests, it is a guide to kink or BDSM. While I disagree with the term ultimate, this book is a great first reference for those who are curious about the more "mainstream" kinks such as bondage, spanking, flogging, and role play. My argument against the use of the word ultimate for the title is I would have reserved that for a more be-all/end-all guide.

In particular, I enjoyed the descriptions in the impact play section were handled. It describe not only how to use the tools presented, but also how they were going to feel to the receiver and how to do aftercare for the different activities. And when I say aftercare, I am referring to both for the receiver as well as the tools.

I would definitely recommend adding this to your library if you are at all interested in BDSM or plan to write in the genre.
