from Scarleteen. This number is fun to undergo alone or with somebody and is also great for determining what you have in mind attempting.

Obtaining Specific: About Particular Kinks and Fetishes

New Topping Book

and

Brand New Bottoming Book

by Janet W. Hardy and Dossie Easton. The essential focused guides on Domme/sub energy dynamics i have found so far. I would say the intro can get slightly long for folks who are knowledgeable about the subject, but I’m however a fan because each guide is really concentrated it gives the writers the liberty of getting into great detail about each role.
