The first, and still the best collection of information about lesbian sadomasochist, without apology, written in the middle of the raging politics of the time when feminism had no place for us.

This review is from: Coming to Power: Writing and Graphics on Lesbian S/M, 2nd Revised and Updated Edition (Paperback)

If you are kinky, male or female, straight, bi or gay, and you don't have this book, you need to get it. Written as a storm was raging about feminism, SM, and being lesbian, this offers honest and explicite discussions of how lesbian SM worked. There's advice on how-to do some activities, discussions of the politics of SM, and also some very in your face theory about being kinky and defining relationships. Its a book I've read several times. It is very short, mind you, but so worth the price to get your hands on articles you just can't find any more.
