4.0 out of 5 stars Marketplace-style training manual, 27 May 2003
Other beginning bdsm books tend to cover technique, the coming out process, finding partners, and the like. This book is unique in that it covers the philosophies and psychology of real life dominance and submission -- not role play or scening, but living as dominant and submissive.

For those who have read the Marketplace series of books by Sara Adamson, this is a handbook for that kind of realtime slavery -- attitudes, general guidelines for training, helpful thoughts, things to look out for, goal setting for slaves and training, and so forth. It sets out codes of ethics, models for D/s relationships, realtime issues, and expanding slavery beyond someone who just gets you off in the bedroom, but to someone who is in role 24/7 and who is a part of your larger life (attache, assistant, secretary, valet, cook, etc.). The book, as Ms. Abernathy says, looks at slavery in a larger context than most beginning books will allow. For that reason, it's actually not explicit. There is no masturbatory material -- NONE.

The book doesn't get too terribly specific, in part, because Ms. Abernathy attempts to allow the people involved to expand their definition of D/s to include what is comfortable and meaningful for them. It DOES, as a previous reviewer states, mention the importance of the slave knowing how their owner likes their socks folded if the owner has them on laundry duty, and it also mentions forcing the slave to refold a basket of socks if they continually get it wrong as a means to train them correctly. However, the book isn't about folding socks, but in techniques for teaching people (slaves) to be what you, the trainer/owner want them and need them to be to you.

So . . . if you want smut, look elsewhere. If a Marketplace style relationship is of interest to you, this might be a nice addition to your collection of bdsm library.

5.0 out of 5 stars Real D/S, Not Fiction, 28 Jul 1999
By A Customer
This little book contains some serious, thought-provoking material for people who want to train erotic slaves for household service. I've never read a book by someone who takes D/S so seriously and has given it this much thought and attention. I wish Miss Abernathy had been around years ago when I started topping. I could have saved myself a lot of wasted time and frustration.

The reader who was hoping for "Story of O" obviously doesn't have a clue about the real leather scene. I also wonder if he really read the book, which is resolutely pansexual. I don't know where he got the idea that it was for women only. (I'm a het male dom, for the record.)

Highly recommended!

4.0 out of 5 stars useful as further raeding more needs something more, 11 Jul 2001
By A Customer
I liked this book, but I think that it did have one key flaw, while I found it's exploration of the D/s relationship interesting, and very useful, I think that it needed more emphasis in training. It seemed that you get submissives already from the box so had little to help the Dom who bought this book looking for help training their own slave. That being said it gave a lot of help with ideas about the sort of slave you want to train, and some good advice is in their, bought I got the feeling it was more of an owners manual as well then a training manual.

4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting ideas ... a worthwhile book ...
... but perhaps a little lightweight. That's my only real critisism ... the "concise" has been overdone a bit.
