With the film release of "Fifty Shades of Grey," a lot of people are now interested in BDSM but they have no idea to do it. The bookAs Kinky As You Wanna Be: Your Guide to Safe, Sane and Smart BDSM by Shanna Germain is a great way to learn about how to do this stuff in safe way. Anyone that is new to the world of BDSM will want to check out this book" -Sex & Love Examiner "Shanna Germain''s stories are gorgeously poetic, emotionally fearless, and torch-your-panties hot. She''s the Aztec chile chocolate of erotica - an indulgence good for both body and soul." -Donna George Storey "This interesting book is not an instructional manual but a guide to what BDSM means, complete with examples. While you might think dry and boring, this is anything but that. After all, it is kinky sex. That being said, it goes over mental and physical health, communication and so much more that you really should think about before exploring your kinkier side. While this sounds like it should be for those who have never tried BDSM, it would still be helpful for those who have. If nothing else, as a reminder of things you should think about. It is well laid out with short stories or excerpts from stories to illustrate the point that that chapter is making. Those stories are wonderful; interesting as well as informative. In the back of the book is a glossary and other tools to make your adventure safe, sane and consensual as well as risk aware consensual kink. Everything might not be for everyone and some things may not interest you today but may tomorrow or never. Regardless of where you are, this is an informative book. I liked that it wasn''t a how to but more of a how would I ever do this type of stuff and what about the rest of the world!" -Night Owl Reviews "
