Suggested Books:

Title: SM101 Author: Jay Wiseman

SM 101 provides a realistic, comprehensive introduction to sadomasochism ... to address the needs, questions, and concerns of the absolute beginner. The book presumes that the reader has no prior experience in SM and has read no other realistic information on the topic. In addition to describing how to use the whips, paddles, ropes, and other "toys" often involved in SM, the book also covers the essential principles of consent, limits, negotiation, safety, and how to tell the difference between SM and abuse. The books also recommends other sources of credible information on the topic.

Title: Different Loving Author: Brame, Brame and Jacobs

A breakthrough in sexual literature, this work is a complete, comprehensive user-friendly guide to and tour through the world of alternative sexual lifestyles.

Title: Screw the Roses, Send me the Thorns Author: Miller and Devon

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

Title: Men in Love Author: Nancy Friday

An extraordinary, explicitly masculine journey, Men In Love develops a startlingly honest portrayal of what it means to be a man in contemporary America. Here are the unexpurgated dreams, fantasies and fetishes that excite and obsess men today. In creating this historic study, Nancy Friday listened -- without disapproval, apology or censorship -- to the candid responses of thousands of men aged fourteen through sixty. She gave them a legitimate arena where they could share their "secret gardens" -- the hidden and forbidden but nonetheless real and true. Much more than a litany of erotica, this unique volume doesn't tell us how men should love. It tells us how men do love -- a stunning insight into the desires that dwell within men's psyches... and their hearts.
