Publisher's Synopsis
The Tao of Bondage, a woman-friendly and sex-positive book, explores the playful and profound ways bodies and minds respond to restraint. Forty erotic black-and-white photo spreads enhance the insight garnered from consensual bondage between adults.
Bondage triggers the somatosensory system, the elements of the human body that respond to tactile stimulation. In the cascade of feel-good chemicals, tops and bottoms achieve a higher state of consciousness.
This one activity, an important part of the BDSM lifestyle and more casual BDSM play, encompasses endless variety. Binding can be done with rope, chains, handcuffs, leg cuffs, spreader bars, thumb cuffs, or even corsets. The art of rigging can take years for riggers to master while providing evenings filled with erotic excitement.
Specialized toys and equipment like gags, stockings, belts, wraps and silk cloths can further restrict. Decorative elements include belly chains, leather straps, latex clothing, Wartenberg wheels, and colorful wrappings enhance safe, sane and consensual play.
The Tao of Bondage, written by a switch with fifteen years in the scene, distills these playful and profound lessons into short sayings. Highlighted with forty artistic black-and-white photo spreads that are pansexual, this collection is sensual, stylish, and downright juicy. A perfect gift for that special top, bottom, or for yourself!
