Warren seems to understand that a large part of BDSM’s appeal is psychological. John Warren seems to have thought of just about every subject a kinky beginner would need to know about and includes just about all of them in his very handy book. It really is a good primer on the many different aspects of BDSM. Warren has chapters on everything from tying knots, to leather working, to meeting other kinky people, to setting up convincing scenes with submissives. I’m impressed by how complete this book is.
This book is mostly written for those who wish to dominate, but it’s really useful for anyone who is interested in the BDSM scene. Warren is also careful to point out behaviors that may come across as rude or poor form when a person is just getting started with BDSM. I was impressed by Warren’s rather serious attitude when it comes to protecting the well-being of those who trust others to dominate them. Having spent a good portion of my time around military folks, I easily caught Warren’s authoritative and often matter-of-fact tone as he explains what it means to be a “loving dominant”. John Warren is the Dom in his relationship with his wife, Libby. The submissive (sub) is the person, male or female, who takes the submissive role. The Dominant (Dom) is the person, male or female, who takes the leadership role. Suffice it to say that when most people hear the acronym BDSM, their thoughts turn to a couple exchanging power in some way. John Warren, who is the principal author of The Loving Dominant, describes the term in detail and offers some of his own thoughts on what it should really mean. I finished the book last night and I have to agree that this book is great for those who are curious about the BDSM lifestyle and want to learn more about it.īDSM stands for Bondage, Domination or Discipline, and Sadomasochism. The Loving Dominant has been out for years, even before the Internet was a part of the average person’s life, but this review refers to the updated 2008 edition. I came across John and Libby Warren’s very well-regarded book, The Loving Dominant, and decided to read it myself.
About a week ago, the mood struck while I was in bed, searching for something new to read on my Kindle. Until recently, I had never done much official reading on the subject, other than check out a few Web sites when the mood struck. While you’ll never see me donning leather, piercing my nipples, or cracking a whip, I have always been intrigued by the BDSM lifestyle, if only as a voyeur. In the interest of encouraging and providing more diversity in reading materials, I’m reposting this book review as/is, originally written for on February 7, 2011.Īnd now for something kinky… a very informative beginner’s guide to BDSM…
