Excellent primer for heterosexual beginners

If you are looking for a straightforward introduction to BDSM play between monogamous heterosexual partners, this is a great book. It guides the reader through 15 scenes presented as a combination between erotic fantasy and how-to guide. It covers safety basics that the novice needs to know. Most of the stories have a heterosexual focus. There is one scene that features a lesbian couple, and another one with only one character, a male engaging in self-bondage, but there are no male-male scenes, and the intended audience is straight couples. After reading this book, you will be able to set up and act out 15 basic scenes that include such elements as guided fantasies, bondage, spanking, shaving, humiliation, role-playing, and sensation play.

Informative and entertaining

John Warren has in this book taken instructional material about various BDSM scenes and applied it in stories that show how to use this information to construct erotic and fun scenes. While this book might be considered primarily for "SM beginners," there's still a good amount of information and ideas for anyone looking to spice up their love life. John has written fourteen stories based around various "scenes," ranging from spanking, wax play, a staged kidnapping, to enemas and humiliation play. At the beginning of each story, John gives a list of items needed to stage the scene, as well as safety information about each scene in notes on the side of the main text in each story. In fact, there is some additional safety information listed at the book's end.This book might be considered a kind of "BDSM lite book" and makes a good companion to other SM books like SM 101, Screw the Roses, and Sensual Magic.

entertaining and practical

There are dozens of books now available to give the novice information on how to be safe while practicing what our society calls "kinky". There are hundreds of fiction books that portray unrealistic relationships and a few dozen which show more the heart and soul of BDSM. But John Warren in one book does both. This book, "Safe, Sane, Consensual and Fun" is a great hybred of fiction and how-to. 14 stories show different orientations (primarily het) and different activities that people who do BDSM engage in. At the beginning we are given a list of the tools used in the story. As the story goes along, there are safety notes, suggestions, and info on how that scene is being done. Its a good way to start exploring and a good source to have your partner read before you try something out. Just remember that you aren't a fictional character and other things can come up during your scenes.

Excellent Guide for the imagination

I'm often asked ... sometimes asked, well someone asked me once what my favourite toy was. My imagination is my favourite toy. It is something that I always have and means I can create a scene with whatever is to hand. But the imagination needs to be fed. You need to encourage it by exposing it to lots of imaginative material. Want to do pirate scenes? Immerse yourself in tales of piracy on the high seas.So it was with delight that I received my copy of "Safe, Sane, Consensual and Fun" by John Warren. Here are fifteen scenes described by John Warren to fire the imagination. But best of all each scene has marginal notes illustrating safety issues and implementation issues. The scene where someone is handcuffed and moved around notes that one of the links of the handcuffs has been replaced with thread so should the victim fall they will snap the thread and avoid injury. The are many marginal notes, packed with useful information about staging scenes.There are quite a variety of scenes described here, from a walk through a shopping mall with bells on, to a enactment of a busty wench captured by a cruel pirate crew. Unusual for a BDSM book, one of the scenes involves 'turn around' where the top becomes the bottom and vice versa in the same scene. I like this as it shows another way of doing things where the roles of top and bottom are not fixed. Something that is often forgotten in all the emphasis on clearly defined roles.Feed your BDSM imagination with this book!

Will enhance everyday, humdrum lovemaking forever

What happens when loving couples of any sexual persuasion start to get a little bored with the sameness of the act? Dr. Warren's book, "Safe, Sane, Consensual and Fun" addresses those who would like to expand their lovemaking repetoire by adding fantasy and role playing. If more couples would allow themselves to open up and experiment I guarantee the divorce rate would plummet, especially for the over-forty crowd.
