From a very early age the author was fascinated by legends of HARRY HOUDINI. Long before he understood anything about sex he knew he liked to get tied up, tie people up and watch people getting tied up ... and he never grew out of it. This attractive 100 page paperback is aimed mainly at men still struggling to deal with guilty fantasies about physical restraint situations. A book that could save years wasted in frustration.
Subtle distinctions between S&M games and bondage-as-an-end-in-itself are discussed and many different sorts of mutually enjoyable physical restraint, endurance, control and counter-control situations are explored in detail. People who have already accepted that bondage in one of its many forms is what they're into, will discover new paths by following the author through an amazing web of alternative tracks.
People of all sexual orientations will find this modest booklet a mine of information, thought-provoking comment, ideas and alternatives.
