This review is from: Bitch Goddess: The Spiritual Path of the Dominant Woman (Paperback)

BitchGoddess: The Spiritual Path of the Dominant Woman, is a good read for any woman participating in or curious about BDSM sexual practices. This book is not a manual, but a collection of essays, personal accounts and poems that celebrate the image of the dominant woman through history. As any indivdual who lives life beyond societal norms knows, it can be very difficult to find proper reflection in media images. This book assures us that there is a place for the strong, sexually assertive woman in society. It also reminds us that it's nothing new! So if you're looking for instruction you may want to look to other titles. But if you want to wrap your mind around this inspiring archetype, or celebrate your own goddesshood, this is the book for you!

4.0 out of 5 stars The spiritual side of "BDSM", May 11, 2000

This review is from: Bitch Goddess: The Spiritual Path of the Dominant Woman (Paperback)

Do people do that kinky stuff just for sexual pleasure? The answer is no, and this anthology explores the reality that for some people, sex can be a means to spiritual empowerment. Both roles, submissive and dominant, are explored and explained from the view of "goddess" imaginery. While not a follower of this particular part of the "BDSM" umbrella, I did learn quite a bit from the essays and now can better understand when my partners say that I've helped them see "god" -- they should really say "goddess" though.
