The Leather and BDSM Handbook

In celebration of the more than a decade of success of The Complete leatherboy Handbook , Vincent Andrews has focused his experience and insight on a new handbook. Now he takes on the challenge of introducing the reader to the greater world of Leather sexuality: gay and straight, male and female, D/s and S/M, and Kink. Andrews explores the differences that make the greater Leather community so diverse and colorful and the commonalities that have brought these groups together. This work is essentially the same as T he leatherboy Handbook but includes a Dominant’s perspective in key chapters. With the same experience-based clarity and objective perspective he has brought to his previous work, Andrews explores the histories of the various groups that form Leather culture, how those groups have intersected throughout the 20th century – and how they are growing into the 21st century. This book gives the reader historical background and a clear understanding of modern Leather culture: thought, art, ritual, fashion, public figures, legislation, and literature. The Leather & BDSM Handbook is designed to provide a foundational understanding of the Leather culture to help newcomers to the scene and experienced Leatherfolk who are adjusting to the Leather community’s growth and development in new directions. Andrews’s work gives you a depth of understanding of the Leather world and its history to enable you to be comfortable communicating your thoughts and views to others within the culture. Essentially, it provides the tools, insight, and understanding you will need to succeed in the world of Leather. — ISBN13: 9781955748339
