As a Dominant in the BDSM scene one of the hardest things to learn and understand is the concept of training a submissive. I remember when I was new asking people about it and the answer was always the same. Every Dom is different so they all train a sub differently. Which was no help at all. I was never even offered the most basic idea of what training might entail. So, I spent years, clueless to this aspect of D/s interactions. I have since found the occasional article on the subject but Miss Abernathy's Erotic Slavehood was first. Nothing I have read since has compared. Although written with the intention of training a slave, it can easily be adapted to train a submissive. It's simple and user friendly. Yet it still covers all the important information. As someone that had a number of years experience in BDSM before I read the book, Miss Abernathy still managed to surprised me with the thoughtfulness of some of the activities she has included in her training. All in all I thought it was an excellent book. ( )

Not a book a personally needed to read because of my lifestyle, but as it is a subject with much misunderstanding, I'd deem this book as thoughtfully written with tact and straightforwardness. No taboo schoolchild giggling here. ( )
