Editorial Reviews: Amazon.com Review Philip Miller and Molly Devon think that S/M is fun, and "that reading about it should be fun, too." IScrew the Roses, Send Me the Thorns/I 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.p IScrew the Roses/I 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. I--Cheryl Trooskin/I

Screw the roses November 2, 2008 This is a great way to learn more about the BDSM lifestyle, it shows it as more than just a kinky good time but a loving divoted way to contect to another person, in someways much deeper than a standard relationship. A beginners introduction to BDSM September 23, 2008 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.br /I would recommend it though as a beginner's information source on BDSM. Foundational Book for BDSM August 28, 2008 This book is an excellent foundation for your new (or renewed) adventures in BDSM. Clear, well written and truthful about the risks, this book provides safety tips, insightful psychology and hands-on ideas for BDSM play. Thank you authors! This is a must-have for any start-out players, I'm going to give it as a gift to newbies and any new subs. Screw the Roses August 2, 2008 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. An excellent introduction to S M August 2, 2008 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.
