Partners in Power:
Living in Kinky Relationships
Is it possible to form lasting, healthy, loving relationships that are based on power, control and pain? Of course, says Jack Rinella, author of The Master's Manual and The Compleat Slave.
Respected columnist and scene leader Rinella has carefully explored how BDSM relationships fit into real people's lives. From that research, and his own two decades as an active leatherman, he has assembled this sensible, readable manual about how kinky relationships really work. You'll learn how to decide what you want from a relationship, find partners, distinguish between fantasy and reality, negotiate agreements to accommodate your changing needs and desires, resolve conflicts, and much more.
No kinky person's bookshelf should be without this important volume!
