About this listen

The Ultimate Guide to Kink is the first major guide to BDSM in a generation - a bold and sexy collection of essays that run the gamut from expert how-to tutorials to provocative essays that delve into complex questions about desire, power, and pleasure. The book brings together diverse voices from the kink community in an unprecedented way: each chapter is written by a different sexuality/BDSM educator. Divided into two sections, the first section features thorough, thoughtful pieces - on everything from flogging to bondage. The second section is dedicated to role-playing fantasies and personal manifestos. From age play to masochism, these chapters cover some of the edgiest, most taboo and controversial elements of kink in depth. The Ultimate Guide to Kink features the expertise of renowned educators writing passionately on their favorite subjects, including Patrick Califia, Midori, Laura Antoniou, Barbara Carrellas, Lee Harrington, Jack Rinella, Lolita Wolf, Madison Young, Hardy Haberman, Felice Shays, Ignacio Rivera, Sarah Sloane, Mollena Williams, FifthAngel, and Edge. It will educate, inspire, and challenge both newcomers to the world of kink and experienced BDSM players.

This was a interesting listen and I don’t regret purchasing it, but it seems like no one gave it a listen/edit before publishing. Many times the narrator pauses awkwardly, or rereads a paragraph she stumbled over, or even cleared her throat somewhere near the end of chapter 20.

This is no fault of the narrator, she does a good performance, but I am perplexed by these basic editing errors.

Interesting, but unedited?

a great listen. however it could be quite intense. i wouldn't suggest it for total novices, but definitely something everyone should have a listen too at some point. even if its just to better clariffy what your own dislikes are.
or perhaps you'll find you clarify some mew likes ;)

taken with a grain of salt

Great for when you first start dabbling into the world of bdsm and then to revisit and gain the beginnings of ideas for your own unchartwred scenes or new ideas on loved ones. A+++

loved It!

Very detailed and well explained in all the topics covered.
If you are new or more experienced in kink, I think it is an equally helpful reference.

Excellent guide, recommended

As a relative newcomer with a small amount of real-life kink experience, this book has given my understanding hugely valuable depth and insight. With this fresh understanding, I feel more courageous to explore aspects of kink I probably wouldn't have before, now that I have some idea of what to do and how to do things.

I really enjoyed the variety of sources and their individual perceptions and expertise.

Listening to half a chapter every morning while walking through the park with a coffee has been a lovely way to enjoy this "study." I'm ready now to read the next book on the topic, now I have a reasonable foundation.

Narration was good, however a few re-takes were not edited out which was jilting to my concentration since the content is highly engaging. I did enjoy the warm tones and slight husk of the narrator's voice, though I suspect it won't be everyone's cup of tea.

My thanks to all the chapter contributors, you bunch of absolute legends.

Brilliant Starter Guide
