Extrait INTRODUCTION EXPLORING A NEW WORLD OF SEXUAL PLEASURE "Sometimes I've wondered if there's something wrong with me. Perhaps I've spent too long in the company of my literary romantic heroes, and consequently my ideals and expectations are far too high." - CHAPTER 2, FIFTY SHADES OF GREY We know why you picked this book up - and it's okay. We've read the Fifty Shades trilogy, too, so we understand why a reader who's been following the sexual adventures of Christian and Anastasia might be eager to find out more about kink and BDSM, and discover a world beyond vanilla sex. And if that reader is you, then you probably already know that BDSM stands for bondage and discipline (B&D or B/D), for dominance and submission (D&S or D/S), for sadism and masochism or sadomasochism (S&M or S/M) - for what the trilogy memorably calls "kinky fuckery." Fifty Shades became as popular as it did for one reason: It's a hot, sexy series that introduced millions of people to an alluring world, one they didn't even know existed. Maybe something deep inside you got stirred up when you read the scene where Christian flogs Ana. Maybe your arousal spiked when you came to the scene where he straps her ankles to the spreader bar. Or maybe sensory deprivation turns the heat up for you, and you got off on the scenes of Christian blindfolding Ana. But the trilogy also packs a lot of information into three quick reads, so if you've been wanting to sort out everything you learned from Fifty Shades, and maybe even learn a little more, you've come to the right place. Trust us - whatever it was that turned you on the most while you were reading Fifty Shades, we've got you covered. Consider this book your personal tour guide as you set out to explore the heart of BDSM country. We're going to be telling you all about the techniques that Christian and Ana used - lots of others, too. And we'll do it in a way that keeps you feeling comfortable, whether you're new to kink, curious about BDSM, or just rediscovering an exciting but unfamiliar environment. In step-by-step guidelines and detailed, easy-to-read scenarios, we'll teach you everything you need to know about BDSM. Even more important, you'll learn how to make your BDSM adventures not just fun but also safe. In fact, as you explore the world beyond Fifty Shades, you'll see that safety and fun go hand in hand.
