Description

This book is a how-to guide to the concepts and skills at the heart of consensual dominance. If you are new to dominance, still figuring out just what it’s all about or what you want it to mean to you, then this book will provide you with a solid foundation from which to start. If you already practice dominance and are interested in improving your ability to create deep and lasting power dynamics then you’ll find many advanced concepts and concrete techniques to integrate into your own personal style.What consensual dominance means here is any kind of intentional, mutually desired, mutually fulfilling exercise of power and control between partners. There are a lot of different kinds of connections that fit that broad definition, and the fundamental principles that this book explores can be applied to any of them. So it should be just as valuable whether you practice dominance in occasional intense evenings within an otherwise egalitarian relationship, in a full-time power exchange relationship, in long distance or online relationships, in pick-up play with strangers at BDSM clubs, or anywhere else.This book also doesn’t assume that you fit any stereotype about what a person who dominates should look or act like. It looks at dominance as a practice — as something that any person can learn to do, rather than something that some people are — and it is meant for anyone with a desire to learn to practice dominance well. It is written to be accessible to absolute beginners, as well as to switches and primals and tops and mommies and daddies and bigs and masters and trainers and Goreans and heads-of-house and owners and label-defying powerplayers. (And don’t worry if you have no idea what any of those labels means – dominance has nothing to do with labels.)If you have an interest in the bedrock principles of inspiring, deepening, maintaining and enjoying control over a person who dearly, desperately wants you to control them, then this book is for you.Editorial ReviewsAbout the AuthorAnton Fulmen is a kink and sexuality educator in the San Francisco Bay Area, leading workshops on power exchange and consent for the Society of Janus, the Citadel and other kink community groups around the Bay. As a member of the staff of San Francisco Sex Information’s prestigious sex educator training, he helps therapists, school teachers and other educators learn how to better provide accurate and nonjudgmental sexuality education to their students and clients. As an officer with the Society of Janus he directs the mentoring program, connecting community newcomers with ethical and experienced guides to help them find their feet in the world of kink. Personally, Anton has had a lifelong fascination with intimate power, exploring it in a wide range of flavors and contexts from relationships ranging from one night to ten years, from casual to full-time, from silly to serious, and in styles from Daddy to Master to Owner to I-don’t-know-what-this-is-but-it-sure-is-fun. He usually dominates, sometimes submits, and always learns; building a deep understanding of many forms of intimate leading and following.
