Lingerie: A Modern Guide, by Lesley Scott

Posted by: | Comments (0)

This is a fabulous book that contains some very interesting facts, pictures and an exciting history of lingerie. The fashion critic and writer, Lesley Scott tells us in the foreword “few items of clothing can so easily create a mood, shift the vibe or set off shivers like the right lingerie.” The first few pages really draw you into the book; the way she explains her love for lingerie in a way that you wouldn’t really think of “perhaps foodie culture is to nutrition what lingerie is to sex: a delicious, extravagant touch of mystery and mastery that makes sex more sensual, less prim and that much more fun.” To give you a little taster of the kind of thing to expect in this book, I have noted some parts which I found particularly fascinating

Loving Dominant by John and Libby Warren

Posted by: | Comments (0)

John and Libby are a couple that knows just how colourful the BDSM scene is, with its wide range of things to choose from depending on you and your partner’s tastes, cleverly likening it to a very liberal Chinese Restaurant. “You can take as many, or as few, items as you want from Column A, B, and so on.” Because it seems that, over the years, media and society have managed to confuse BDSM with cruelty and undesired maltreatment, John and Libby seek to re-teach the population with this sexual self-help tour de force.

We’ve seen a few books about kinky sex here at Skin Two. There are geeky and well-intentioned ones that are worthy but not terribly appealing. There are weighty tomes by learned academics with no feel for the subject at all

Some people think modern sexuality has gone far beyond reasonable boundaries but, once having a glance at this guide, supposedly made in the Victorian era, of all manner of far-fetched and incomprehensible carnal desires, you’ll see that we’ve become quite tame in comparison. Rumoured to be an old document accessible only to doctors and professors, the book was written under the guise of an overly inquisitive “Reverend Croom” who takes painstaking risks (crouching in bushes and falling out of trees) to observe people’s ridiculous and disturbing acts, later producing a scientific compilation that is an erudite yet laugh-out-loud read. Expect to find in-depth descriptions for everything from Androgyny to Zoomutatolagnia (the desire to take on animal characteristics for the purpose of carnal pleasure), with comical commentary, yet all in a gentlemanly and respectable style and tone.
