Ties That Bind
group sex contains BDSM 		Ties That Bind
Guy Baldwin, renowned psychotherapist-educator and practitioner of kinky sex, explores the depths of S/M relationships in this thought-provoking and self-exploratory collection of essays on topics such as the magical S/M "high," tips for assuring a sane, safe and consensual scene and the importance of self-honesty. Originally published in the S/M magazine Drummer of the late 80's and early 90's, Ties That Bind explores the intrecacies of leather families, suggests communication skills to sustain master-slave relationships, and delves into the political scence of gay leathermen of the 90's. Amongst them, an essay explaining the interesting history of the fetishization of leather in post-war America and the converging of ex-vets and bikers to form the "Old Guard" of the leather scene is particularly fascinating. Though originally intended for a gay male audience who were already entrenched or intrigued by the leather scene, Baldwin's sound advice can be applied across the board regardless of gender, sexual orientation or sexual practices. A turn away from technical skill based books, Ties That Bind is an important addition for those ready to take a serious look at their relationships with others, with S/M, and most importantly themselves. | Learn more about Ties That Bind.
