Learning the Ropes: A Basic Guide to Safe and Fun S/m Lovemaking
Race Bannon
| The introduction to Learning the Ropes
begins, "S/M has long been a much misunderstood style of erotic
play." Race Bannon provides some much-appreciated accurate
information in this honest and straightforward basic guide to S/M.
He explodes prevalent myths about S/M and replaces them with a
playground of erotic fantasy and an emphasis on consensuality. The
fantasy visualization exercises and the examples of scenes and
negotiation provide rich fodder for crafting new experiences, and
regardless of your gender, orientation, or skill level, you'll find
that the advice sprinkled throughout the book is useful. Possibly
the most important trait of this book, though, is that it's
delightfully devoid of the "This is the One True Way" trap evident
in too many sexuality manuals. Learning the Ropes provides delightful examples of questions and issues that commonly come up during negotiation, useful for both the novice just learning to say yes, and the more experienced hand who has met a new partner. The chapter on "S/M Technique" includes good basic safety and sensation information. The real gem, however, is next chapter, "The Playground of the Mind." Here, Bannon shows how the mind--using fantasy, suggestion, voice, and roles--can play an important part in S/M. He also includes sections on S/M gear and how to create an inexpensive toy collection, safety, finding partners, a recommended reading list, and a glossary. About the AuthorRace Bannon is a nationally recognized expert in S/M sexuality. He has written numerous articles on the subject, facilitated seminars and workshops, and lectured throughout the United States about S/M. |
