Your Field Guide to Discovering, Exploring and Navigating the Kink, Leather and BDSM Communities

“Harrington and Williams adeptly offer information, wisdom and insight to anyone traversing this erotic territory… One of the first books I’ll recommend to fledgling kinksters.” – Race Bannon, Learning the Ropes: A Basic Guide to Safe and Fun BDSM Lovemaking

“The first book to completely address the most important steps in negotiating the brave new kink world — how to find it, pick what part you want to explore, talk to the natives and join in the fun!” — Laura Antoniou, The Marketplace series

“Plenty of resources tell you how to find your local BDSM community, but very few help you once you get there. This book is packed with tips about what to expect, how to communicate, and how to behave in different kinky situations.” –Tristan Taormino, The Ultimate Guide to Kink

Whether you’re a trembling novice or a jaded expert, there’s always something new to be discovered in the endlessly changing, complex and titillating world of kink.

While there are plenty of other books out there that explain how to give a spanking or tie a half-hitch, Playing Well With Others is the first book that explains kink *culture* — the munches, parties, leather bars, conferences, workshops, fetish nights, exploratoriums and all the other gatherings of kinksters that turn BDSM and leather from a bedroom predilection to a lifestyle and a community.

You’ll learn to:

Examine your own motivations, needs, wants and desires
Ease your way into established communities
Understand etiquette in different adventurous sex communities
Familiarize yourself with the many types of events available to you
Care for your relationships as you explore new territory
Negotiate for play and aftercare
Go back to the “world at large” without ruffling feathers
…and, of course, answer the all-important question: What do you wear?!
