Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

I have been "in the scene" since about 1965. In 1993, my wife, Libby, and I founded The Boston Dungeon Society which is now known as The New England Dungeon Society. In the years since 1992, five of my books have been published: The Loving Dominant, Safe, Sane, Consensual, and Fun, High Tech Toys, Torquemada Killer, and Murder at Roissy.

The Loving Dominant and High Tech Toys are published in soft-cover and Kindle format by Greenery Press. Torquemada Killer and Murder at Roissy. are available in EPub from Xcite Books.

I've lectured at literally hundreds of venues both kink and vanilla, but because of a severe neuropathy, I no longer travel to lecture.

My vanilla background includes a stint in the Marine Corps and a couple of decades as a reporter/photographer. Later, I got a doctorate and taught at both undergraduate and graduate levels. After leaving academia, I was the vice president of Erdos & Morgan, a market research company on Madison Avenue in NYC.

4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting and informative
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 October 2009
Verified Purchase
BDSM isn't a very British thing to talk about. In fact anything to do with sex gets us a little awkward, and we tend to resort to humour to defuse the awkwardness. This is a shame as there's more to BDSM than the sensationalist headlines would have you believe. Basically, if you like rollercoasters, then you might well get much out of BDSM.

I like this book. It's a little autobiographical, but that adds to it's charm.
It gently explains some of the art and pitfalls of BDSM in a friendly and welcoming manner. Well worth a read if you're interested in this side of your sexuality.

I wanted to know more and a friend recommended it. Probably a book to read with your partner but no use if they are not interested. I got no further than the reading up sadly. Quite well written with the emphasis on love not violence. Some good safety tips too.

My new Dom and I are reading this book together. He self describes as a Daddy Dom, and was attracted by the title when I found it. Although he has experience he has no formal training and is always open to learning more. I am a "wannabe sub" according to Him since I have not yet begun my training, and I am reading as much as I can, which as my loving Dom he supports. We are both really enjoying John Warrens style of writing, which is clear,, frank, loving and funny. In particular for me, Libby's section on what being a submissive means to her brought tears to my eyes as it described my feelings so well even though I have not started my training. Libby please write a book for us subs! Along with the play suggestions and explanations, this book emphasizes so well the unique and deep D/s relationship dynamic. Even as new couple, I am experiencing one of the most profound relationships of my life. The D/s relationship allows nothing to be hidden. Highly recommend this book.

Definitely has a college professor vibe in its writing. I skimmed through some chapters that slowed me down. I don't want to stalk the wild submissive. But arranging a scene was a great chapter. The glossary was excellent and there wasn't a load of condescension about true masters of one-true-way crap. Very good read.
