Different Loving

By Gloria G. Brame, William D. Brame and Jon Jacobs

 Comprehensive guide to 'alternative' forms of sexual communication; of dominance and submission - sexual fantasies that may appear unusual, but are commonly enjoyed by people from all walks of life. Using a wide range of interviews and visits to D/s groups, the authors challange the accepted, Victorian views of 'normal sex', arguing that sex for pleasure is a normal human drive. Taken in this context, D/s is simply a 'different' kind of loving.

Come Hither

By Gloria G. Brame

 COME HITHER: A Commonsense Guide to Kinky Sex
a note from Gloria

For years, people kept asking when I'd do a follow-up to Different Loving. Well, I've finally written another straightforward, unapolegetic book on BDSM/fetish sex. This one takes you beyond Different Loving and escorts you right into your dungeon--with a sense of humor, and in a personal tone. Think of it as one massive email to the thousands of folks who have written me since this site was launched in 1996.
To write this book, I compiled a huge list of the questions that regularly pop up in email, and answered them in depth, sharing my own experiences and discussing techniques I use to keep SM fun and loving. I have on tips on how to torment your tied-up partner, frank advice on the art of dominance, ideas on introducing pain and increasing limits, and detailed explanations of all the toys you can use to enhance your pleasures. I also let it all hang out when it comes to advice for subs and doms on how to avoid clueless fools. I did my best to COVER IT ALL and pack it into one reader-friendly little tome.
Whether you're a newbie who wants ideas on how to meet people who share your kinks, a married person who needs advice and communication tools to get your spouse to explore BDSM with you in bed, a Scene player who wants to brush up on the lingo or decide on an outfit to wear to the next leather event, or a lifestyler facing issues like whether or not to tell your children or how to punish a masochist, Come Hither tackles all the questions, big and small, about kinky sex.
