Book request: Gentle D/s lifestyles

[BadForm]

Hey all, this is not my normal forum so please forgive me if I am asking a verboten question. I am looking for suggestions for books that would make easy-reads for novice female dominants who do not like the S&M side of BDSM. In other words, books that introduce and explain the D/s lifestyle (and lifestyling) from a purely D/s aspect without whipping, CBT, tit-torture etc. Any suggestions you have would be appreciated.

I don't know about books, but i'd suggest takeninhand.com. It's actually a M/f oriented site, but I'm sure with a little imagination you can turn it around to work for you and yours.

When Someone You Love is Kinky is about the most non-threatening explination of BDSM I've come across; The Sexually Dominant Woman: A Workbook for Nervous Beginners is (IMO) a wonderful "starter" book for someone who isn't quite sure what to do. Another good book is The New Topping Book.

All should be available at amazon.com or through www.greenerypress.com.

The Loving Dominate is really good.

The Loving Dominant is really good.

(I edited dominate to dominant for you... "The Dominant dominates their submissive; submissives allow themselves to be dominated by their Dominant." No offense meant... I'm just a twitchy language person... )

THank you for all your suggestions so far. While I research those, please let me know if you have any others anyone.

Actually, there is a new edition out...The (New and Improved) Loving Dominant

I think that's the 3rd edition. John Warren posts on collarme every so often, and he mentioned a few months ago that they were putting out the 3rd - mostly correcting typos, but I think he was updating information with regards to internet, etc, as well.

The bottoming book is as good read for tops as well.

Thank you! Brain fart

Thanks all, I've put in an order for the Loving Dominant and The Sexually Dominant Woman. I think they might be the best from what their write-ups say. I didn't order the topping book as I think I read somewhere that it's a good intro to S&M, which would terrify the woman I'm thinking of. Again, I truly appreciated the feedback.
