Review #1

I love this book and have given away oodles of copies. Its advantages:

  1. It is short.
  2. It is rather comprehensive despite its shortness, and gives one terminology, some inkling of other people's practices, and introductions to outlandish behavior which just might intrigue you.
  3. It has a mix of theory and story
  4. Unlike many other publications which do the same, the fact that the Lesbian S/M manual assumes a female bottom does not offend me in the least.
  5. It was my first S/M book and if it was good enough for me...

Not just for lesbians, this book has great info for everyone at all interested in kink.


Review #2

This was the first SM "instructional" book I ever bought and even though this book is 12 years old as of this review, it still contains excellent information for anyone who wants to engage in consensual power exchange. This book contains sections ranging from Emotional Safety to safe sex practices, what to do when a health problem arises, to the famous "Nine Degrees of Submission" by Diane Vera.

I even enjoyed the few "short stories" that can also be found here.


Review #3

The best thing about the Lessbian SM Safety Manual is that it allows those who do "BDSM" to talk about themselves. The worst thing is that it is an odd mixture of fiction and non-ficiton, not quite living up to its title. It would be better if it were a text denicated to safety and issues of importance to lesbians but istead the collection turns into a sounding board for those who fell they are being opposed.
