The first chapter of the book tells how they both got interested in SM. There are a number of "introductory SM books" on the market now and what I like about the well-written ones is they way they handle basic SM topics. This book is no exception to this rule. It not only covers common SM topics, such as "playing safely" (with detailed descriptions of playing with various SM "toys), but also contains sections on who you should or shouldn't play with, and also contains a book, magazine and online resource section. I loved the glossary of SM terms contained in the book and their chapter on "Defining and Demystifying the Language." They also call make a point to define the difference between consensual play and abuse. I also liked their section called "On Doing Psychotherapy in the Dungeon." They point out SM can be therapeutic, but not to do actual "therapy" in play. Good point! A well-written book with lots of good information.

Consensual Sadomasochism is one of my regular resources for sparks of inspiration and insight.
Guy Baldwin, M.S., author of Ties That Bind and Slavecraft
Without doubt, one of the finest and most useful books on SM ever written.
