Philip Miller and Molly Devon think that S/M is fun, and "that reading about it should be fun, too." Screw the Roses, Send Me the Thorns is definitely fun, not to mention approachable, chatty, and insightful. What makes it truly special, however, is the sheer weight of loving details. There's clear explanations and detailed tutorials for beginners, as general as "safe, sane, and consensual" and as specific as "you will be swinging the whip with your arm pivoting at the shoulder." There's also solid advice, safety measures, steamy suggestions, plenty of black-and-white photographs, useful and humorous drawings, an extensive glossary, and over 900 entries of S/M clothing and equipment vendors, publications, computer bulletin boards, and organizations worldwide. As sadomasochism is a practice that's still taboo for many people, the chapter on finding partners and sharing your fantasies with existing partners can be invaluable. Screw the Roses enthusiastically covers all the basics and even some of the not-so-basics--bondage, negotiation, sex, endorphins, dominance and submission, toys, safety, S/M community, and beyond. It's written primarily from the point of view of male dominant/female submissive interactions, but it's easily translatable into valuable advice for any relationship configuration. Miller and Devon's explanations of not just the how, but also the why, of sadomasochism are honest, sexy, funny--and a must-have for anyone who wants to learn about sadism, masochism, dominance, submission, or bondage. --Cheryl Trooskin

Customer Rating: 
Summary: A beginners introduction to BDSM
Comment: This book is an introduction to BDSM. It is written for the curious and those already in the lifestyle. It is written with wit and sensitivity and contains photographs and illustrations. The photographs need updating as they are reminiscent of Victorian still pics found in some porn.
I would recommend it though as a beginner's information source on BDSM.

Summary: Screw the Roses
Comment: Everything was great with this transaction. I only got to read a little of it before Sir whisked it away with him. He is working out of state so I won't get to finish until I am able to reunite with Him.
Customer Rating:
Summary: An excellent introduction to S & M
Comment: I have read many books related to the Bondage, Discipline, Sadism, and Masochism (BDSM) lifestyle and over the years Screw The Roses... is still the first book I recommend for all newbies to read. The authors are factual, concise, humorous, and thorough in their introduction to the various aspects of BDSM. Additionally, the contents offer just the right mix of information to picque the reader's interest into taking a deeper journey into reflection and self-analysis and continuing the exploration of BDSM.
