Book: Screw the Roses, send me the Thorns

Amazon.com Review
Philip Miller and Molly Devon think that S/M is fun, and "that
reading about it should be fun, too." Screw the Roses, Send Me the
Thorns is definitely fun, not to mention approachable, chatty, and
insightful. What makes it truly special, however, is the sheer weight
of loving details. There's clear explanations and detailed tutorials
for beginners, as general as "safe, sane, and consensual" and as
specific as "you will be swinging the whip with your arm pivoting at
the shoulder." There's also solid advice, safety measures, steamy
suggestions, plenty of black-and-white photographs, useful and humorous
drawings, an extensive glossary, and over 900 entries of S/M clothing
and equipment vendors, publications, computer bulletin boards, and
organizations worldwide. As sadomasochism is a practice that's still
taboo for many people, the chapter on finding partners and sharing your
fantasies with existing partners can be invaluable.
Screw the
Roses enthusiastically covers all the basics and even some of the
not-so-basics--bondage, negotiation, sex, endorphins, dominance and
submission, toys, safety, S/M community, and beyond. It's written
primarily from the point of view of male dominant/female submissive
interactions, but it's easily translatable into valuable advice for any
relationship configuration. Miller and Devon's explanations of not
just the how, but also the why, of sadomasochism are honest, sexy,
funny--and a must-have for anyone who wants to learn about sadism,
masochism, dominance, submission, or bondage. --Cheryl Trooskin
