Non-Fiction Book List:


This list was created during a discussion group in July, 2001 and written up thanks to Honey.

101 Kinky Crafts published by greenery press
(The many who had read it couldn't remember the author's name, but thought it was great. Do-it-yourself SM toys with safety tips.)

Trust the Handbook (author and publisher unknown)
(Those who had read this book on anal fisting thought it was fabulous, and emphasized a positive attitude towads the activity as well as dealing with physiology and safety issues in depth.)

A Hand in the Bush by Deborah Addington
(This book about vaginal fisting was lauded with the same praise given Trust the Handbook. It was proposed that some of Addington's ideas had been lifted from that very source.)

Flogging by Joseph Bean
(Read by one of our number, this was proposed as a good alternative to SM 101. It presents four scenes and gives a detailed analysis of each. It was admired for its flogging technique descriptions and scene construction.)

Lesbian SM Safety Manual by Pat Califia
(Read by one member of the group, this book deals well with the concepts of risk assesment and edge play. Will tell you the safest ways to do things that other books won't even discuss.)

Public Sex by Pat Califia
(This book was described as very controversial and thought-provoking by those who had read it. They liked it, but found some of Califia's ideas disturbing.)

SM: Sensual Magic by Pat Califia
(Read by one of our number, this book was not seen as a good "first book," which it purports to be, because of the lack of safety information found in it. Other members of the group explained that this is partly due to Califia being an Old Guard writer, and that personal one- on-one training was the norm in those days.)

The Second Coming and Coming to Power by Pat Califia and Robin Sweeney
(Those who had read these books described them as dealing with historical aspects of women's BDSM community, and thought they were good.)

Miss Abernathy's Concise Slave Training Manual by Drew Campbell writing as Christina Abernathy, gp
(Those who had read this book really liked it. They cited nifty cultural references, and that this seems to be one of the only how-to's about Ds relationships rather than SM in general.)

Training with Miss Abernathy (ibid)
(One member of the discussion had read this book. It's primarily intended for slaves, while the other book is primarily intended for dominants. The reader liked it a lot for its practicality. Explains everything from different kinds of slaves to how to cook a good meal for your owner.)

The Bride Wore Black Leather: Etiquette for the Rest of Us by Drew Campbell
(This was the book everyone wanted to borrow. I was the one who had read it. It's awesome. Read it. Manners for situations Emily Post never had to contemplate.)

The Ethical Slut by Catherine Easton and Dossie Liszt
(Almost everyone had read this book. Most liked it. Some felt it was too optimistic. All agreed that it had value as the only how-to polyamory book we know of currently.)

The Topping Book by Catherine Easton and Dossie Liszt
(Those who had read it, liked it. The authors definitely understand the idea of dominant masochists, which many other books didn't address. The book also went into some of the spirituality and theory of SM, and we liked that. A good second book, we thought.)

The Sexually Dominant Woman: a workbook for nervous beginners by Lady Green
(One of our number had read this book, and felt that it was patronizing and far too basic. The feeling was that this book was written for an older, less confident generation of women, who needed to be reassured that it was okay for them to be in control.)

To Love, Honor, and Serve by Vi Johnson (sp?)
(Read by one member of the discussion, this is a factual account of a woman's experiences as a submissive in the NY scene. Very good.)

The Loving Dominant by John Warren
(Those who had read it weren't that nuts about it. They felt that Warren was overly critical of people who did SM but not DS, and didn't give any air time to the concept of switching.)

Safe, Sane, Consensual and Fun by John Warren
(Those who had read this book liked it. It's plots of scenes, with "ingredient lists" and safety tips including. The readers felt it gives you a good idea of how to construct a scene, as well as inspiring ideas and good smut.)

SM 101 by Jay Wiseman
(Talk about controversial! This book got very mixed reviews. Most agreed that Wiseman goes a little overboard on safety, but some felt that that was a good thing since it was intended as a beginner's book. Wiseman's knot recommendations were roundly criticized. The chief complaint overall seemed to be that the author didn't allow for the possibilities of anything more extreme than he specifically dealt with. Ie, he says he won't talk about suspension because it's beyond the scope of the book, but doesn't talk about any knots that would be suitable for suspension purposes.)
