Book Review: 62Q: Sixty-Two Questions for Your Dominant by Michael Makai
Thanks to lunaKM’s review of Michael Makai’s Domination and Submission: The BDSM Relationship Handbook, I’d been interested in reading one of his books. I became even more interested when I heard in a BDSM related Facebook group I’m in how many people had enjoyed reading his books. When he released his latest book 62Q and offered a coupon code for half off on Smashwords, I figured that I might as well see what all the fuss is about. After finishing 62Q: Sixty-Two Questions for Your Dominant, I see what all the fuss is about and it’s very well deserved fuss indeed. Plus, I am highly amused that he uses the term “twat waffle”. I can not tell you how amusing I find that. And yes, I’m probably a lot more amused by that than I really should be.
This book is exactly what the title says. Sixty-two questions to ask your dominant. And not just during the getting to know you phase, but throughout the entire relationship. Because honestly, the questions shouldn’t end once the getting to know you phase is over. As I was reading this book, I noticed that maybe the reason I had been involved with dominants who weren’t the best for me was because I didn’t really take the necessary time to get to know them or to ask them the right questions. I have a feeling that a lot of other s-types can probably agree to that. The questions are broken down into three categories: new relationship energy(where you get all those warm fuzzy feelings and common sense sometimes goes out the window), before a collar, and after the collar. With each question, you will find follow-up questions, why this question is important, how to interpret his answer, what you should do about it, and the author’s own two cents which are little quips about the question at hand.
There are such a variety of questions that Makai shares, and honestly the majority of them, I would have never thought to ask. They range from asking what does commitment mean to you to am I what you were expecting when we first met to if we were in a disagreement, how would you handle it. Every single question is designed to be extremely thought-provoking and start a great dialogue between you and your future or current partner. Not only that, but it’s a great way for the s-types to also evaluate what they want and need in a relationship by asking themselves these questions(HINT: great journal material!). This isn’t a book that’s just for those who are new and looking for their first dominant. Any s-type regardless of how long they’ve been active in the lifestyle should give this book a read and seriously consider using these questions when talking with potential partners.
I can’t say enough good things about this book. I feel that I can honestly say that Michael Makai knows what he’s talking about and offers extremely sound advice for readers. I wish something like this had existed when I was still looking because I have a feeling I could have avoided a lot of bad mistakes.
