A Cool Book for Spanking Lovers!

There are very few books out there that talk about spanking and S & M in much detail. Thus, for those interested in this type of kinkyness this book is great! It's not scientific or dull, it's funny, interesting, and chatty. The collection of excerpts from other books at the back is unmatched in its erotic appeal - it will melt you
