Every good sadist has the moment where they wonder… am I a monster? Is it okay to like inflicting pain? Is there something wrong with me?

THE ANSWER IS NO as long as it is consensual, enjoyed, and encouraged by a happy little masochist! The perfect pairing: those who like to explore receiving the sensation of “pain” and those who like to give that sensation. This guide to sadism is from the perspective of the masochist, giving an insider view of how a masochist experiences pain, processes, and transforms the sensation with their body, mind, spirit connection!

Learn different techniques in inflicting sensation, how to read the room, how to read common body language and verbal expressions, how to set up a successful negotiation, scene, and aftercare, how to communicate throughout, and some truly evil genius ideas in ways to play with this dichotomy. We will also cover safety, risk migration, harm reduction, rupture and repair when something goes south.
