DO IT YOURSELF |
Kinkycrafts : 99 Do-It-Yourself S/m Toys...
AMAZING!!!!!, November 3, 1999
Reviewer: Bettina Hintze from London, England
I was sceptical at first at the quality of 'toys' I could actually produce myself, however the book is very easy to follow and has a wide range of ideas for beginner to sexpert.I can admit that my room has become a veritable playroom with its own stacked and much used toybox. Have no fear - this book really 'delivers' I never knew a drill could become so much fun.....;-) | |

This book is chock-full of wonderful toy ideas, aimed at a wide range of interests, price ranges, and skills (even for those who aren't normally into crafts, like myself). For the price of one or two floggers at an adult store, I've made several small projects and they've been great!

This handbook is exactly that, a "reference book" for those who want to learn more about this aspect of BDSM play. Until now, there were "bondage" sections in books like SM 101, Screw the Roses, etc but Jay has devoted an entire book to this activity.
Jay has done bondage play for years and years and his experience and knowledge shows through here. As with other books Jay has written, this book is full of safety cautions and health risks related to doing bondage.
Among the sections in the book include a little bit of "theory" on bondage, different types of rope that can be used, different ways to do single or double-limb bondage, breast bondage (a personal fave!), spread-eagled bondage, and bondage equipment.
I like Jay's assertion that you don't need to learn a lot of knots to do good bondage. I'm glad to hear that because I don't know very many knots myself!
A well-written and very informative book. Good job Jay. | |
Reviewer: A reader from Northern California, USA
Frankly, this subject has always scared me a bit, so I've tended not to try it extensively in my kinky life. However, Jay Wiseman's book has allayed many of my fears, but also introduced new perspectives. Some of what Jay writes supports what many have said about bondage-what's safe, what's not, etc. But Jay also refutes some "age old" adages, and some may find this controversial. He backs it all up with solid research and long experience in the paramedic profession. After that, the book is rich with techniques, illustrations, and references for everyone, novice to "old rope." I've also had the privilege of watching Jay demonstrate and speak, so I can safely say that this book should be read by everyone in the bdsm scene, even if it's not their particular passion. |

Philip Miller and Molly Devon think that S/M is fun, and "that reading about it should be fun, too." Screw the Roses, Send Me the Thorns is definitely fun, not to mention approachable, chatty, and insightful. What makes it truly special, however, is the sheer weight of loving details. There's clear explanations and detailed tutorials for beginners, as general as "safe, sane, and consensual" and as specific as "you will be swinging the whip with your arm pivoting at the shoulder." There's also solid advice, safety measures, steamy suggestions, plenty of black-and-white photographs, useful and humorous drawings, an extensive glossary, and over 900 entries of S/M clothing and equipment vendors, publications, computer bulletin boards, and organizations worldwide. As sadomasochism is a practice that's still taboo for many people, the chapter on finding partners and sharing your fantasies with existing partners can be invaluable. | |
Screw the Roses enthusiastically covers all the basics and even some of the not-so-basics--bondage, negotiation, sex, endorphins, dominance and submission, toys, safety, S/M community, and beyond. It's written primarily from the point of view of male dominant/female submissive interactions, but it's easily translatable into valuable advice for any relationship configuration. Miller and Devon's explanations of not just the how, but also the why, of sadomasochism are honest, sexy, funny--and a must-have for anyone who wants to learn about sadism, masochism, dominance, submission, or bondage. --Cheryl Trooskin |
