Recommended Reading

Most of the books on the list are in my personal reference library. They are there because someone recommended them to me when I first started exploring this lifestyle. I will give my own review of the books I have read, along with a "ratings guide" for each book that will let you know what to expect to find in each book.

All of the books in this list are non-fiction. I have not included any works of fiction in this list as I cannot in good conscience recommend any of them for Christians exploring the BDSM lifestyle. Most works of BDSM fiction are well known, so if you wish to pursue them you may. However, please be aware that these stories are in most cases exaggerated and bear little resemblance to real life lifestyle relationships. Also, most of the fiction, no matter how good the writing, is basically poronography and should be avoided by Christians.

For the reviews, please click on the author(s)'s name. All the books by that author on the topic heading will be reviewed on the same page.
