Screw The Roses, Send Me The Thorns

Screw the Roses, Send Me the Thorns: The Romance and Sexual Sorcery of Sadomasochism. A bestseller, and for good reason!

This book 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 lovers' 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 9000 entries of SM clothing and equipment vendors, publications, and organizations, bondage, flogging and bullwhip tutorials, an extensive, 15 page glossary, Foreword 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.

"In the recent explosion of SM 'how-to' books, Screw the Roses, Send Me the Thorns is a clear stand-out. . . What really sets this book apart is the pervasive and persistent sense of fun the authors have embedded into the text. Their attitude here is not sociological and scholarly, or one of 'we know what we're doing, so we'll teach it to you,' but more like: 'SM is great! Look at how much fun we can have! Everyone into the pool!' What really makes it work is the way the authors keep going back to their primary goal: to demystify SM behavior and give a relative novice both the permission to do what they're dreaming about and the technical know-how to do it with safety and a sense of erotic adventure. . . The technical advice is superb. . . Information about and instruction in flogging is perfect, leaving nothing out. Their illustrated section on bondage is unequaled." - The SandMutopian Guardian
