BDSM is a whole different world where people speak in their own formal and informal language, have rules and social norms, and create expectations based on everything from names to symbols you employ.

As a sex educator and an active member in the BDSM community, I found most information floating around to be inaccurate and some even unhealthy. As a primer this guide will demystify the world of BDSM and present it in a straightforward and easy-to-understand way to you.

This guide is more than just a list of who and what. It is a map that will take you...

Submission can be described by a lot of words but "easy" isn't one of them. Discovering and honoring your desire to submit takes courage, strength and passion. Learning to follow the lead and rhythm set by another, and stretching your limits to accommodate training and service can challenge and exhaust you.

The discipline to hold your tongue, retrieve your paddle, or wait around endlessly while knot after knot is being tied as part of a bondage ritual drains your energy. Submission stretches, taxes, pushes, and exposes your body and soul to the whim and desire of another....

Nothing will prepare you for a life of submission in the same way as your formal training. Submissive training isn't just a "good idea" when it comes to creating a BDSM relationship. It is essential.

"Submissive Training: 23 Things You Must Know About How To Be A Submissive" is designed to help you know what to expect when you go through training with a new Dom. Every couple is unique and every Dom may have different ways of teaching you the systems of service he prefers. However, these are the basics all trained subs and slaves learn and employ in daily life.

You may think that every Master has a huge house filled with either gothic decor or fluffy white couches, and a ridiculously full selection of paddles, straps, whips, crops, restraints, sex toys, and bondage gear.

Fortunately, you don't have to pay a hundred dollars for a specialty flogger or purchase a wedge from Extreme Restraints for three hundred bucks in order to be a great Dom and provide your sub with hours of bondage, spanking and fun.

Most of the things you need to give your submissive the spanking of a lifetime, a punishment to fit the crime, or just an...

The world is full of advice on how to charge, or re-charge, our sexual relationships, but nothing adds more of a jolt to a couple than when they say those three lovely words:

"Let's have anal."

Anal sex is a sensual and high-powered addition to your sexual repertoire. This form of sexuality is one of the most intimate personal connections a couple can have. Considered taboo by some modern societies, it is often elusive, and misunderstood.

"Better Anal Sex" is a guide that helps demystify the process and provide some history, biology and tips on...

Fellatio, the art (trust me, it's an art) of oral sex, is like playing an instrument. Mouth, hands, motion and emotion all mix together at the same time - and the beautiful music of your lover's satisfaction is heard.

Anyone can pick up an instrument and make noise, but to really play it takes knowledge, skill, and practice, practice, practice. Oral sex isn't just a gift you give to him. It's a gift you share together.

"Blow By Blow" will guide you, step by step, to the explosive orals that will "blow" his mind away. Once you start following these...

Whether you have always dreamed about life in a collar or just discovered a desire to be sexually adventurous, there is a place for you in the fetish world of submission. The culture of kink, once thought to be limited to couples who wore leather pants and played slap-and-tickle in the bedroom, has grown into a varied and well defined umbrella for sexual identity.

Because fetish culture, like all cultures, grows and changes with the people who practice it, there are distinct roles and categories that developed to help women define their preferences and find like-minded people and...

There are a number of reasons a woman may choose online submission. It's a good way to ease into the community by making friends and observing other people at a safe distance. Creating an online persona allows women to keep their real names and identifiers private.

Online submission also allows for a sexual experience rooted in the world of fantasy. A woman can take on any role or persona she...
