Book Description

Publication Date: November 1, 2004

As a sexual adventurer, you have already taken the first steps into the magical world of romantic, consensual BDSM. You've started exploring the boundaries of your innermost fantasies in the arena of dominance and submission. You are on top in this breathless exchange of power--the one who takes whip in hand to orchestrate the most delightfully wicked ways of the domina.

Now, in Female Dominance, former professional dominatrix and glamorous fetish diva Claudia Varrin helps you and your ever-willing slave take it to the next level. This lavish, fully illustrated book guides you through the deeper waters of safe and consensual dominance and submission play, from bondage techniques to having a well-trained slave, from fabulous fetishes to role-play, alternative disciplines and "Edge Play." As the Mistress, you will learn to recognize how far your slave is willing to go to fulfill his darkest desires--and how far you will go to give them to him.

Filled with real-life tales and anecdotes, plus sample sessions to get you started, a glossary, and recommended reading list, Female Dominance contains everything you need to establish new bonds of trust between you and your slave--and to further overcome inhibitions to reach the peaks of ecstasy. Explorations of the philosophy and emotions behind dominance and submission allow you to see the big picture of this positive way to safe, wild, and wicked fun.

From the Author

"Living behind the veil" is when you step back and forth between your light world and your dark one, your light side and your dark side. As a part-time practitioner of romantic BDSM, lifting the veil between the two worlds is what you do to leave your daytime persona behind and enter the world of exotic, erotic fantasies and the shadowland of your secret erotic mind.

The midnight-purple world you have already begun to explore is filled with mystery and illusion, fantasies and delight, and sexual ecstasy. You have developed one--or more!--of your dominant personas, have improved your skills, and vastly expanded your playtime repertoire. For you, sensual dominance has become your own private planet where everything is the way you would have it, the three moons in a deep purple sky and the loving torture included. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

This review is from: Female Dominance: Rituals And Practices (Hardcover)

A few years ago, I was caught off guard when my husband shared his fantasy of BDSM with me.

I was flattered that he wanted to try new things with me, but I wasn't sure I'd be able to transform myself into a "Dominate Mistress".

After a few feeble attempts, I threw my hands up and demanded that we try something else. Sure, I absolutely LOVED dressing up in Dom clothing and looking the part, but when it came down to it, I had NO CLUE what to do with the poor guy once it was time to deliver.

Fast forward a few years later: The interest has been stirring again in both of us. And this time I've decided to research BDSM a lot more extensively than I did before. Which is how I came across this book.

I've learned so much from the lovely Claudia Varrin. In addition to being very instructional, and chock full of techniques to try out, this book is really a delightful read within itself. I love the honesty and humour she injects throughout. Reading this has given me so much reassurance and confidence and now I feel ready to don the latex and give my darling husband a taste of having a Bitch bring him to his knees in loving humiliation.

This review is from: Female Dominance: Rituals And Practices (Paperback)

Whether you are a frustrated wife with a man who can't stay away from her panties and stockings, or a much experienced Domme, the ideas and suggestions (not to mention explainations) of play and dress are absolutely fantastic.

Ms Varrin presents SM activities in such a way that her enjoyment and pleasure simply ooze from the pages. I recommend this book to young and old, new and experienced hoping that like I did, they learn something.

This book is to the point and well written; I enjoyed reding it! In fact having read a lot of other DOM books I would rate this one in the best top 10! Great ideas and methods, great information and a real look inside the DOM mind!
