Great book

I've been involved in the scene for a long time now off and on, and of all the books I've read on the subject, this one was the one I'd most likely leave on the coffee table. It's not too "serious" and is perfect to gauge that perfect man's reaction. It's amusing enough that it won't scare him away, but real enough that it will give him some food for kinky thought. I loved this book so much that I loaned it to a relative who had curiosities about the scene (as well as a problem man). She loved it so much, she never returned it! LOL I'm waiting for my new one to arrive. Check this out.

A Dom's evaluation of this Dominatrix's work.

Congratulations to Mistress Payne on a Classy & Tasteful depiction of the world of D & s. Your insight and understanding has been well displayed to introduce new minds and bodies to pleasures and satisfactions about which they previously may not have dared to dream. You have opened the mental door through which many may/will now choose to walk with the associated social stigmatism so caringly removed. Very nice work.

Martha, Miss Manners & now Mistress Payne

Mistress Payne has brought to bdsm what Martha and Miss Manners brought to entertaining. This book provides us a guide to the art of domination in an light hearted manner. There are tips on all types of aspects, including etiquette, makeup, traveling as well as very good details on knots, bondage and the pure joy of bdsm.A must read for the experienced Domme as well as the novice.

Finally, a work worthy of mainstream attention!

I bought this book as a holiday stocking-stuffer for a friend because I thought I knew it all, but after reading the first few pages, I realized that I needed this book for my bookshelf. Like candy for the imagination, "Sex Tips" is a well-written primer for bedroom adventurers -- and, the first mainstream attempt to challenge ill-conceived steriotypes about the scene. Bravo to Mistress Payne for her thoughtful and witty prose, and bravo to HarperCollins for bringing this work to Main Street America.

Well written, informative and full of smiles

My Congrats to Mistress Payne for the style and grace in this book. The pages are filled with information, how to's and the sections on knots come only from someone who truly understands this art of love making.The light hearted aspects of the writing blend into an excellent form, giving us all an easy to read manual on some of the basics as well as the advanced aspects of bdsm. She makes being a Domme an artform and shares some of her best ideas.The imagination and insight is extradoridinary and this book is a must for anyone who knows the joys of bdsm or for those who are seeking it for the first time. Beginner, novice or skilled Domme will find this book a pleasure to read and learn a thing or two from the talented, clever way this lady has found to mix mirth and knowledge together into one book.Well Done, Mistress Payne!
