New to BDSM or just want to know more about it? Other books explain how to give a spanking or tie a half-hitch, but this is the first book that explains kink culture – the munches, parties, leather bars, conferences, workshops, fetish nights, exploratoriums, and all the other gatherings that turn BDSM and leather from a bedroom predilection to a lifestyle and community.

If you're a novice to "the scene," this fast-paced, entertaining field guide makes BDSM a little less mysterious and a lot more approachable.
