Review
If you want some understanding of the things people do when it comes to sexual fetishes this book has it all,
while treating this delicate and unusual subject matter
with care and respect. I highly recommend it to lay
people, health care workers and medical professionals. -- Freida D. Scott, RN, Registered Counsellor
Hold onto to your hats and be prepared to experience
a paradigm shift. This book will educate, challenge and
stimulate the reader to understand that being `normal'
includes imagination, difference and choice. -- Phillip Armstrong, CEO, Australian Counselling Association

Product Description
'My Other Self' is an intrepid anthology of the secret and sometimes bizarre sexual lives quietly practised by millions of everyday people. As these ordinary folk tell their stories it becomes obvious that the world of kinky sex is far from the exclusive domain of rock stars, movie goddesses and politicians. Angela Lewis spent four years researching a diverse range of websites, forums and online communities catering to devotees of all kinds of sexual peccadilloes. These are the stories of the people she met along the way. They live in ordinary neighbourhoods, have jobs, careers and children just like the next person, but very quietly lead far from ordinary sex lives. The result is an absorbing guide to the secret lives of those enjoying a wide range of interests from latex, leather, teeth and diapers, to spanking and hairy armpits and opens the conversation around a wide range of sexual practices in a way that is neither sensational nor confronting. The book covers an extraordinarily comprehensive inventory of fantasies and fetishes which it explains in both an informative and highly readable way. As well as real-life stories and insights, it contains explanatory background information, links to related interests as well as jargon and search terms. Lack of understanding and tolerance for difference means that most people whose sexual interests are outside the mainstream need to hide their true selves from family, friends and colleagues. This book hopes to promote diversity and understanding and open the conversation around a wide range of sexual practices. The author wrote for an audience just like herself, an average person with a spouse, kids and mortgage who has never set foot in a bondage dungeon but wouldn't mind knowing what all the bits are for!

A VERY DETAILED AND GOOD LOOK AT THE FETISH WORLD
16 Nov 2010
Format:Paperback
Angela's book is a very detailed and fascinating look into the world of kinks and fetishes. A world that in some cases is very secretive and you would be surprised who all you know who have their special little kinks. She covers everything and provides interviews with people who participate in the variety of sexual fantasies, kinks and fetishes. She is very knowledgeable and took her time putting this book together. I personally was interviewed by Angela and her questions were ones that made sure she got all the correct information. This is a must for anyone that is already into something sexually different or for the person who is just curious. You never know u might find yourself turned on by something you had no clue about. FYI you can find me in the chapter on Financial Domination.

A thought-provoking read.
23 Oct 2010
Format:Paperback
I found this book thought-provoking as well as sensitively written. It is far more than another book about erotica, but a genuine attempt to explain the various ways that people enjoy their sexuality. It is a book that would benefit anyone in the health professions as well as ordinary people who would like to learn more about what others enjoy.
