The Loving Dominant, by John Warren and Libby Warren

Description from Amazon.com:

Everything the amateur player needs to know about heterosexual, male-dominant love-making. Warren aka Mentor is a longtime participant in the dominance/submission scene. As he guides readers through this rarely seen world, he offers clear-eyed advice that will refresh and enlighten the most well-informed erotic explorers. Most importantly, Mentor discusses the hidden basis of the D/S relationship: the care, trust and love between partners.

Amazon lists this as being available in Paperback and Kindle format.  I own it in paperback, and bought it at Maxx Black sex shop.

This is a nice book.  It's well-written, and has a balanced viewpoint from both sides of the fence.  It seems at first like it might be closed-minded (see reference above to heterosexual, male-dominance), but any intelligent person can quickly recognise that the only reason this is so is because this is only viewpoint from which the authors have any authority to write.  After all, they are in a heterosexual, male-dominant partnership!

I enjoyed reading this for the insights it provided into the "loving" side of D/s, but it really did focus a lot on the play aspects of the sexual relationship.  I mean, I love the play ideas it gave us, but I suppose when I read the title I was half expecting a book about more of a 24/7 relationship.  Not so.  Whether or not the authors have such a relationship, the book is not about that.

If you are looking for a detailed and intelligent instructional about kink play, this is for you.  If you are looking for an instructional about a romantic 24/7 D/s relationship, this is not it.

Three cocks!
