Back Cover/Inside Jacket: Screw The Roses, Send Me The Thorns will tell you all about sadomasochism. We made it light-hearted and fun to read because SM is fun to do. That’s why we do it. But fun is only SM’s overture: for those who grasp its message, SM is sexual magic. The right blend of trust, fantasy, and sensuality creates an intensely erotic and deeply intimate stew. We take away our lover’ freedom and lead them to profound liberty. We peer into the dark together, transforming it to light. In these pages you will find clear explanations for the curious, and solid advice, safety measures, and steamy suggestions for the adventurous. Also included are:
- over 225 photographs and illustrations
- designs for making your own SM equipment
- over 900 entries of SM clothing & equipment vendors, publications, & organizations
- bondage, flogging and bullwhip tutorial
- an extensive 15 page glossary
- forward by Dr. William Granzig, President of The American Board of Sexology
Allow us to guide you through the captivating realms of sensuality, dreamed of by millions, realized by few, and understood by fewer still.
