This book is about BDSM and other forms of sexual expressionIt is all fact and based on my own experiences as a “Master” in the BDSM world for twenty style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;font-size:11pt;">This book goes beneath that to show what really happens when one strays into the “darker side” of style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;font-size:11pt;">What is BDSM? What does it involve?

Plus: some other sexual "kinks"

How can BDSM survive in the enlightened age of the “Me too” movement: What is "consensual sexual behaviour?" How does one consent  to what some would regard as abuse?

Over a period of twelve years I met and interviewed some people who were involved in the alternative side of sex. This was mainly BDSM, but included many other areas

This subject consist of people from the world of BDSM, both submissives and Dominants

This included a wide variety of people, a Dominatrix (who had become a slave) and a transgendered couple (he had transgendered into a female and she had done the opposite)

This shows many of my experiences while inhabiting this same world, as a “dominant” and “Master”.

However although all persons were willing to have their photographs taken, and were aware that they were being taken for the purposes of my writing a book I did not obtain model release forms from any of the subjects (I did not think it necessary at the time and am still unsure of this now)

I have the oral interviews recorded as MP3 style="margin-left:18pt;">These could accompany the book, on an audio style="margin-left:18pt;">I know that the subject matter is problematic, in the light of current sexual politics, but it isn’t exploitative.
