BDSM – A Guide for Explorers of Extreme Eroticism [Edit]

BDSM – A Guide for Explorers of Extreme Eroticism is an educational book by Ayzad. It was originally published in Italy in 2004, where it became a surprise best seller both among kinksters and sexology professionals, who included it in the required readings of several courses. The book is regularly updated, and the first English language edition published in 2016 is a translation and adaptation of the Fifth Edition, featuring an introduction by Dr. Mark Griffiths, a psychologist specializing in unusual sexualities.

BDSM – A Guide for Explorers of Extreme Eroticism is meant as the ultimate practical resource on erotic power exchange dynamics, covering in its 570-plus pages and online addendums all practices and instruments typical of BDSM, but also the history of kink and how domination and submission games interact with the law, religion, fashion, psychology, physiology, online socialization and more. Specific chapters are dedicated to professional domination, kinky shopping, fetish and fetishisms. The book is complemented by a series of constantly updated online resources hosted on the author’s website.

Differently from most other BDSM education books written either by kinksters for kinksters or from a purely academic perspective, BDSM – A Guide for Explorers of Extreme Eroticism benefits from Ayzad’s journalistic background and offers a comprehensive, painstakingly fact-checked view of kink presenting every facet of BDSM culture under an objective light that addresses both its positive aspects and the issues in a balanced way.
