Screw the Roses Written by
Philip Miller and Molly Devon
Synopsis
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.
