Product Description
Synopsis
Nearly a decade ago, this book and its companion volume, The New Topping Book, began teaching tens of thousands of people the joyous arts of BDSM topping and bottoming - not just technique, but emotional support and ethical interaction. Since then, the growing popularity of BDSM and the blossoming of the Internet as a source of information and connection have created a whole new universe of possibilities. Now, the completely revised NEW BOTTOMING BOOK offers even more insights and ideas, updated for a new millennium, about how to really play.

The one thing I actually do not like is the way this book is so filled with the authors' personal anecdotes. It is a weird mix of being instructional and factual (although most of it is stuff that you find in abundance online of you look) and being an insight into some in my mind too personal matters. However, I think this is a good book for anyone who has a beginning interest in bottoming, and for those who are more experienced it will offer a little more than just an updated library. It is one of those books that makes the attempt to cover most of the scene in a rather limited amount of space, and the result is somewhat a brush-over of things that generally require much more attention. Having said this, I liked the book. It is not exactly a coffee table book, but the new cover is so much more pleasing than the first edition (save for the silly cartoon that has somehow managed to still sneak into the O).
Being a submissive myself, I found that it reinforced some of the more important aspects as well as gave me some inspiration and motivation to want to experience new things. It is a good companion book to additional literature on the subject. Also, I would reckommend Jay Wiseman's SM101.

You mean I'm not crazy?
29 Mar 2002
By Jaina A Davis
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Who would think that being tied up and beaten could be the most pleasurable and empowering experience of one's life? Easton and Hardy's persuasive enthusiasm convinced me.
Concise chapters map out a sensible and intuitive path to bring a novice from fantasy to reality. The warm, personal style is unmistakably the hallmark of Greenery Press - as is the focus on ethics and infinite possiblities. I was especially moved by the underlying message that - rather than recklessly throwing yourself at someone's feet - to be an informed and thoughtful submissive is a rare and valuable gift to a lucky dominant.
For anyone who has nervously surpressed their fantasies of being swept away by a Powerful Creature or used mercilessly by a Stern Master, this book simultaneously reassures, encourages and inspires.

An excellent book
7 Dec 2003
By "a_reader_in_ms"
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This is an excellent book for anyone interested in the bottoming part of BDSM. It encourages, informs, and empowers bottoms. The authors make it plain that: No, you are not crazy. No, bottoming does not mean that you are powerless or weak. No, you are not alone. Yes, it is ok to want this!
This is not a book on how to play, per se, but rather a book on how to be a strong, powerful bottom who can enjoy exploring that part of themselves. I recommend reading this book along with a book that explains how to get started, such as SM 101, by Jay Wiseman.

Wonderful Update
5 Jan 2002
By Todd Hawley
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
The original Bottoming book gave a lot of good information and advice to "bottoms" everywhere. This "new version" contains much of the original "advice," like "connecting" and negotiation, but also has new and much-needed information, such as a big section on meeting someone online via chat rooms, mailing lists and/or Internet newsgroups and how to convert from "cyber" to "real-time," and dealing with the fact that their "reality" may not match yours.
There are also chapters describing different "scenes" (and their 'rewards' and also tips on beginning and ending them)and role play, with short subsections about bondage and submission.
I've always enjoyed Ms Hardy's (formerly under the "Lady Green" pseudonym) and Easton's writing style: informative and at the same time informal enough that you sense they've been through virtually all of the same questions a bottom might ask of themselves or their partners. This truly is an excellent update to a classic SM instructional book.
