The Book You Need

I am writing a femdom romance but I had no idea where to start. This book was essential part of my BDSM research and the straight offen blunt style of this book is like getting advice from an older sibling. I highly recommend it.

Thought this book served its purpose very well. Thanks to Tymber Dalton for putting it out there. Folks who write BDSM need to understand that while there are as many different ways to do what it is we do as there are practitioners, there are some things that Just. Don't. Happen. Must read for anyone who plans to write BDSM romance or erotica.

This guide is good for the basics if you know absolutely nothing about BDSM. For those who do know something about it and are looking for writing techniques for craft, there isn't a lot here aside from the obvious avoid cliches etc. So if you are after a BDSM 101 book, go for it, but for craft, seek help elsewhere.

Wow!

This is such a wonderful resource for authors of erotica (or would be authors like me!) It also is useful if you want to know more about BDSM before exploring it for yourself.

As an intro to BDSM it's good and I'd recommend it heartily. However, from the title, the "make me write hot sex" part, I was hoping for discussion about the actual writing process, specifically about sex scene writing techniques. There was almost none of that, so this book wasn't what I was looking for.

Excellent read, Tymber Dalton has given great insight as to what either a writer or person interested in the BDSM lifestyle should be aware of and especially what to avoid when considering writing in this genre or living and enjoying the different types of relationships within the BDSM lifestyle....

This is a good guide to have if you are writing BDSM stories. We don't have a club for me to hang out in where I live so this guide gives me information I don't have access to. I've refered to it a few times already! Thanks, Tymber :)

You should read this book before venturing into BSDM generally, not only to understand and know the terms and practices but also to avoid being misled by those authors who speak lightly of lifestyle confusing the reader.

If I ever delude myself into thinking I can write an actual story instead of just reviews, this is one the book that might keep me from being entirely terrible at it.

Lots of good information. I really mean A LOT! You'll need to read through it several times to get everything - I know I will.
