|
 | SM 101: A Realistic Introduction by Jay Wiseman
Buy new: $16.47 / Used from: $15.88 Timeless and complete. You'll have to get up awfully early to outrace Jay. Lovely gentleman, good friend, and outstanding writer.
|
 | Screw the Roses, Send Me the Thorns: The Romance and Sexual Sorcery of Sadomasochism by Philip Miller
Buy used from: $34.00 This was my first kink book. When my wife and I divorced, this is the only kinik book (out of about 30 at the time) that she took. A must-read for those starting out.

|
 | Come Hither: A Commonsense Guide To Kinky Sex by Gloria G. Brame
Buy new: $12.60 / Used from: $3.37 Gloria Brame is another of the "foundation" writers. It's important to read these books, as they each have a slightly different twist. Ah, twist, yes, my kind of dry humor.
|
 | Different Loving: The World of Sexual Dominance and Submission by William Brame
Buy new: $15.61 / Used from: $6.94 I enjoyed this book very much. I've given it as a gift to a few people who were concerned about me being a kinkster.

Not only do I like John, but I like his book.

Again, as opposed to a Household manual.
