Product Description

Synopsis

Nearly a decade ago, this book and its companion volume, The New Bottoming 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 TOPPING BOOK offers even more insights and ideas, updated for a new millennium, about how to really play.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great "Topping Manual" 6 July 2003
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
This updated edition of the classic "The Topping Book" contains all of the great information of the original, plus some updated info about "SM on the Internet," the proliferation of SM groups across the country, and so forth.

I've always enjoyed the authors' writing style (very informal, friendly, and to the point) in other books they've written together and The New Topping Book is no exception. It provides lots of good information and thoughtful points. I've been into SM for over a decade, yet there were still items in this book I hadn't thought of or considered before reading it.

The authors speak of "ritual" in SM. Very good point and the longer I do this sort of thing, the more I agree with them on this point. In fact, they devote a whole chapter to "spiritual SM," describing ways to incorporate ritual into your scene. They also talk about "shadow play," ie ways to do scenes with major emotional risk, both ways to do them and how to end them safely, and what to do if something goes wrong.

In fact early on in the book, Janet and Dossie discuss what to do when something goes wrong, and how to handle this, whether it's during the scene, right after, or even a day or several days later. This also goes for after care, for even when a scene goes great, one or both participants may want or need this.

Among other topics mentioned? As in the original edition, chapters feature topics like "What Is It About Topping Anyway" (ie 'why the attraction to it'), Rights and Responsibilities of a Top, Learning to Play, Ethics, even where and how to meet others (always of importance).

The end of the book has a short "resource guide" of books, support groups, even a couple of online resources for the reader to learn more. It's nice to see an update for this classic. Excellent job you two!

Good reading, but more storybook

5.0 out of 5 stars Still one of the best 6 July 2003
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
In this 69 page expansion of the original Liszt & Easton book, several new technological developments are taken into consideration while the wonderful Fish drawings are left out. The book has four main sections: intro, skills, scenes, and conclusion. The basic message is both simple and somewhat revolutionary if you listen to the general BS in the vanilla world: bottoms are powerful. There are layout problems in this edition such as mislabeled sections and as always I would really like writers to do more research and more citations. Only one group of kinky folk are left out of the chapter: the 24/7 or lifestyle persons. But the book is for beginners and in my opinion beginners need to start slowly.
