I will give the book some well deserved credit by staying away from the capital letter/lowercase letter nonsense. The editors also seem to have acquired contributions from people that have been in the "lifestyle" for awhile rather than people putting on their "I'm a Master, submit to Me" costume for the day.
In the end, it was worth the money I spent on it, but not much more. END
This book does a pretty good job of surveying the field.
What I find it most useful for is as something to give people
who know D/s only as a myth (usually a frightening one).
The authors make it abundantly clear that such practices are
widespread *and widely enjoyed*; and that D/s is not inherently
abusive.
It's not a useful introduction or how-to book, nor does it
attempt to be.
Written by a practicing and thoughtful participant, Gloria
G. Brame, to the world of sexual domination and submission,
Different Loving provides accurate and poignant insights of
alternative relationships. Brame employs an open, nearly
scientific, but not sterile or technical language, writing
style to speak candidly about the nature of the many styles
of sexual dominance and submission. Her style is dramatically
and quite effectively contrasted with her collection of
informal interviews by various scientific, as well as sexual,
professionals and amateurs involved in alternative sex.
Taking a viewpoint that promotes sexual domination and
submission as, not only a healthier, but also, perhaps, a
more appropriate way of defining a relationship, Brame brings
the typically taboo subject of domination to brilliant light,
devoid of the classic cry of abuse that haunts the subject.
Brame and interviewee William Henkin proclaim defining
domination and submission in relationships create happier,
more stimulating and fulfilling couple participation. Henkin
further states that all too often does unconscious and
misdirected behavior of an apparently (but not proclaimed)
dominant or submissive person leads to breakdown in couple
communication. Henkin sees defining roles as a way to prevent
that communication breakdown. Consequently, the dominate/
submissive lifestyle personifies the couple's committment to
their respective roles, reclassifying expectations and
everyday behavior.
Brame continually stresses, however, that the defining and
executing of these sexual roles must be consentual.
Each area was clinically described and then supported with a few anecdotes, but rarely with any depth. If you are looking for detailed information about a particular aspect of bdsm then this book will really only provide an overview of it. If however you are curious about the lifestyle in general or wonder perhaps if others share a particular interest within in it then it provides some excellent material.
Personally I found it a little dry and superficial at times.
