The Control Book

In most, if not all, of BDSM activities there is at least some aspect of control by one partner over the other. That, notes author Peter Masters, is the heart of this book. In spite of that reality, there is little discussion among BDSM players about control and almost no instruction as to its assertion or exercise. The Control Book, therefore, is unique in its approach as a robust guide to understanding, gaining, exercising, maintaining, and using safe, sane, and consensual control over another or experiencing it as a willful submissive. Masters\rquote step-by-step approach has both depth and an experiential basis. He adeptly uses sound psychology and common sense to instruct all those, both dominant and submissive, who are drawn to any kind of dominant/submissive encounter or relationship. In five thorough and informative chapters -- Introduction, Transfer of Control, Communication, Management, and Discussion -- Masters presents both food for thought and sure guidance about his subject. Here, finally, is an important and enlightening book on a seldom discussed topic -- Control -- by a man who is well-practiced in its use.
