recommends it for: tops, bottoms, switches, and anyone else interested in BDSM sexuality.
When my girlfriend and I took our questions about our burgeoning interest in BDSM to our more experienced friends in Washington D.C., they recommended that we start with this book, and it's sister The New Bottoming Book.

All of these Easton-Liszt-Hardy books are like, "Communicate, communicate, communicate. And communicate some more." Snooze.
