Day 21: Favourite BDSM related book (fiction or non-fiction)
I don’t really read that much fiction (kink or not), I get too easily distracted.
But I do love to read things to educate and extend my knowledge, and am building up quite a nice library of kink related books / magazines.
Notable titles that I have enjoyed include (in no particular order):
- Enough to Make You Blush: Exploring Erotic Humiliation
- History & Arts of the Dominatrix
- SM 101: A Realistic Introduction
- Instigator Magazine
- The New Topping Book
- Ask The Man Who Owns Him
- Leatherfolk
I also have a collection of some great photography books:
- Mr S Leather Catalogue (Now discontinued)
- Bikershot
- Brave – Men and Fetish
- Tom of Finland
The Tom of Finland photobook will always hold special memories for me.
I remember finding my copy back in the late 90’s whilst on holiday in Barcelona and sacrificing every peseta of my ‘spending money’ on it.
Such talent and expression.
Tom’s work has influenced so much about the Leather look and attitude!
I think for many people who grew up before the Interweb his drawings were their first taste of the kinky side of gay life. I had the pleasure of seeing some of his original work at an exhibition in London, such amazing imagination and skill.
