"The Sharp Edge of Love",
By Galen



The Sharp Edge of Love
tears the cover off our culture's normally masked erotic identity and exposes the raw, volcanic core within. Galen's honestly rendered book of erotica offers true accounts of BDSM and D/s erotica from both the Dominant and submissive point of view, as well as an intelligent look at the provocative world of our Dominant/submissive relationships.


The story is the first-hand account of Galen, a newly-divorced middle aged Dominant in search of his submissive soulmate. Told mostly in email exchanges, the book follows him through relationships with four women, each one seeking something entirely different....in more ways than one! The personalities of each of the players in this tale truly come through. The reader is the witness as each relationship blooms, as Galen and his submissive get to know each other, and slip from cautious courtesy and limit setting to hot passion.

Occasionally the action shifts and takes a brief detour into fiction written by Galen for one of his lucky ladies...and we even get one story written by one of the women in return.

Galen's most passionate encounter is with a woman named Arlana, who called herself "a tiger", after her Chinese astrological sign. Although she has chosen the submissive path, this woman is no wimp! Indeed, with her intelligence and lively personality, she poses quite a challenge to anyone who attempts to tame her...but Galen is definitely up to the challenge!

Extreme sex, mythic passion, and primal intensity---if you crave it in your reading, then you can get your fix in one book. All said, this scintillating book tells the true stories of the erotic desires and fantasies of sexually submissive women, questing for their truth, and is a must-buy!

SF Photographer FredAlert's
"Folsom Street Family"
On Exhibit at SF Citadel

His photo images are erotic, fun, innovative, and recently were even internationally controversial. He is FredAlert, and he brings his latest exhibit "Folsom Street Family" to SF Citadel.



"Folsom Street Family" is a collection of images of people taken at San Francisco's world-renowned Folsom Street Fair, combined with photos from his work with the acclaimed "S+M Safely" brochure in collaboration with the StopAIDS  Project

FredAlert was cast into the national (and international) spotlight in 2007 with his depiction of amongst others."The Last Supper" for the promotional poster for Folsom Street Fair, drawing the attention of Miller Brewing Company,  The Concerned Women for America, The Catholic League, The Family Policy Network, and a myriad of other right-wing conservative groups.



"I guess it wouldn't be Folsom Street Fair without offending some extreme members of the global community," said Andy Copper, board President of Folsom Street Events, in a press statement issued last year. "There is no intention to be particularly pro-religion or anti-religion with this poster; the image is intended only to be reminiscent of the 'Last Supper' painting. Many of the people in the leather and fetish communities are spiritual and that this poster image is a way of expressing that side of the community's interests and beliefs." Since the controversy, the "Last Supper poster" has become a collector's item...and said FredAlert rather jokingly at the height of the controversy, "I'm officially going to Hell!"


The original image is also one of the many pieces on display at SF Citadel, adorning the walls until November 2008. Don't miss the opportunity to view this rare and incredible exhibit!!







"BDSM Must-Haves For Your Kink Library"


By Master Erik, Publisher



Those of us who've been in the BDSM lifestyle for awhile can honestly say that some of our education and training has come not just from lessons learned from others and "hands-on experience", but also from the bounty of BDSM books available to us. But for those of us who're relatively new to kink, the choices on what to obtain can be a little overwhelming.

So, without any significance to the order they are listed, here's a handy dandy list of some of the more noteworthy manuals beneficial to get you started in the right direction to valuable educational references...and on your way to a very impressive Leather library!




SM101, by Jay Wiseman


This book goes into depth in the attempt to present a comprehensive introduction to BDSM and all of its many facets: technique, safety, psychological/emotional issues, finding a partner, relationships, the subculture, and many other aspects.



CONSENTUAL SADOMASOCHISM: HOW TO TALK ABOUT IT & DO IT SAFELY, by William Henkin and Sybil Holiday


Easy to read, easy to follow, and easy to understand book which examines the psychological power of erotic dominance and submission; provides a carefully considered guide for safe BDSM play, and explains how BDSM can be an activity of intense intimacy, as well as one of simple sexual pleasure.


 

THE ETHICAL SLUT: A GUIDE TO INFINITE SEXUAL POSSIBILITIES, by Dossie Easton and Janet Hardy (Catherine Liszt)


"The Ethical Slut" eloquently discusses the numerous alternatives to the often unrealistic ideal of lifetime monogamy. Chapters include: "Who Is An Ethical Slut?, Values and Ethics, Paradigms, Old and New, Boundaries, Jealousy, Health, Childrearing, and Finding Partners".




THE NEW BOTTOMING BOOK, by Dossie Easton and Janet Hardy (Catherine Liszt)


Almost a decade ago, "The Bottoming Book" taught tens of thousands of people that bottoming - being a submissive, masochist, slave boy or girl, or other BDSM recipient - is as much an art as Topping. Since then, the growing popularity of BDSM, and the blossoming of the Internet as a source of information and connection, have created a whole new universe of possibilities for players.

Now, the completely updated revised New Bottoming Book gives even more insights and ideas, updated for a new millennium, about how to be a successful, popular bottom! New sections on dominance/submission play, bridging the gap from on-line to real-time relationships, the four stages of a scene, and more. Plus, Fish`s hot illustrations of bottoms in action, many moving and funny anecdotes, and an extra-large helping of the realistic wisdom for which these authors are known.

THE LEATHERMEN’S HANDBOOK I & II,


by Larry Townsend


Larry Townsend's Leatherman's Handbook was an immediate cult classic when it first came out in 1972. It's publication was the first step in bringing Leather sex into the open in the Gay world. Its instant popularity proved just how interested men were in this previously taboo subject.


The Leathermen's Handbook II is a kind of "sequel" to the original. The "LHII" appeared in the mid-80's and was later updated in a second edition, primarily so that more current information on HIV could be included. In this book, Townsend discusses the stylistic, technical, medical, and social/political developments in the Gay Leather scene. Popular among many Heterosexuals and Lesbians, as well as Gay men for its discussion of various BDSM activities and techniques. Also included are several erotic vignettes.
