Welcome to The Little Book of Kink. Come on in and stay a while. I promise not to bite unless you ask me to!

Kinky sex is playful, exciting, and exhilarating. But it can also be dark, dangerous, and more than a little wild. Since youre reading this book, you probably already have an open mind when it comes to sex and likely understand that what is hard-core and kinky to one person may seem sweet and romantic to another. Who says leather whips and collars cant be romantic? And long-stemmed roses can take on a whole new meaning in the kink world.

Kink obviously means different things to different people. It may involve blindfolding your lover with a silk scarf or attending a dungeon party with your submissive partner on a leash. For the purposes of this book, I use the term kink to refer to any activities or behaviors that challenge you to push your limits. It may include dominance, submission, bondage, discipline, pain, sensation play, dirty talk, role-play, or rough sex, but this list is by no means exhaustive. You can define kinky sex any way you want and feel confident that your desires, fantasies, and needs are perfectly natural. Sex researchers Alfred Kinsey and Wardell Pomeroy summed it up perfectly in their assertion that the only unnatural sex acts are those that you are unable to perform.

Kink is all about exploring your body, your reactions, and your sense of self without expectation that your response will mirror anothers to a T. Shared reactions are common, but each of our bodies is unique, and, accordingly, our interpretations of pain, pleasure, and all five senses are equally distinct. Sexual empowerment involves the right and capacity to say yes and no according to your personal preference at any point in time.
