About the Author

Ralph White is a computer professional by trade, and a part-time college professor. He resides in the eastern mid-Atlantic states. He is a survivor of two failed vanilla marriages, and decided that this time he would do it the way he wanted to.

Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.

This book started life as just a collection of fictional erotic stories that had a BDSM theme. But, over the years I have come to understand that there are a great many things that those new to the lifestyle have questions about. There are also some things that are frequently topics in the “I wish somebody had told me” category. I decided to use this volume to provide some of these answers; or, at least, how I view some of the answers. At a minimum, it should give you information that will make you better equipped to find your own answers. The first word of caution I will offer is that there are no rules. No matter what anyone tells you, you must decide what is “right” for you. There is a certain percentage of people in the lifestyle who are of the opinion that what works for them is, by definition, “correct” for everyone. That just isn’t the case. So, I encourage you to approach your journey with an open mind. But, make your own decisions on what is “right” for you from your own investigations. The second word of caution is that nothing is constant. Like all human beings, you are on a journey from what you were yesterday to what you will become tomorrow. There is a certain amount of change that you will undergo in the process of becoming what you are destined to be. What may surprise you is that your single biggest enemy in your progress will be your own thoughts and emotions. The human organism resists change. That is a fact. Anyone who tells you otherwise has a vested interest in encouraging you to change in the way that THEY want you to change. This will not always be in your best interest. Ultimately, you are the only one responsible for seeing that your own best interests are protected. (Although, eventually, you may trust another person enough to allow him/her to protect you, it is still, ultimately, your responsibility.) All books must have a certain amount of “entertainment value.” Particularly those that you are electing to read by your own choice. In this book you will find various short stories. These stories are not related to each other (although, I have had a few requests to do a follow-up to one of them). They are not, in any way related to real persons or events, and are provided to be entertaining, adult reading. However, it is my hope that through these stories, you will get a flavor of how relationships in this lifestyle might work. As they say, your actual mileage may vary.

4.0 out of 5 stars BDSM PRIMER, August 23, 2007
This review is from: BDSM Primer (Paperback)
Book was very informative for one that is considering that lifestyle. Great stories (on the "straight" side). The only problem I had with the book was the grammer, mis-spelled words, words that were in sentences that had to be re-read (some times several times) trying to figure out what word should have been in the sentence in order to make it make sense. Obviously, the publisher did not take the time to use the spell or grammer check, or to read the prototype copy befor sending it to print (I have better things to do with my time than to sit trying to figure out what was trying to be said in a book and expect the publisher todo a better job than they did. AUthor needs to get onto them about it).

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent read, March 10, 2008
This review is from: BDSM Primer (Paperback)
Ralph has done a fantastic job of getting into the heads of those starting in the Lifestyle and also very interesting for experienced. The short stories included with this are very captivating and entertaining, while also providing for the opportunity for various scenes to set up.

I highly recommend this book and would hope to see more from this author and obviously accomplished Dominant.
