Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 We love tops. We love tops who are vicious and nasty and turn their bottoms into cringing mounds of adoring submission. We love tops who are nurturing and sweet while they inflict the most amazing agonies. #2 The New Topping Book is a top-centrist book. It will encourage you to demand the nurturance and support you deserve, and it will help you find ways to get your sexual needs met. It will not, however, spend a lot of time teaching you bondage knots or clamp placement. #3 BDSM is a wide-ranging term that refers to consensual, ethical kink. It has a valid place on the continuum of human sexual behavior. It is not an expression of pathology. S/M is sex that involves all of our faculties: minds and bodies, imagination and intellect, hearts and souls. #4 If you feel disturbed by the seeming contradiction between your fantasies and consensual play, remember that everyone in your fantasy exists only inside your head. Since they have all given their consent to be there, they are all safe to explore.
