Our lives are full of small tensions, our closest relationships full of struggle: between woman and man, artist and customer, purist and commercialist, professional and client—and between the dominant and the submissive. In Dominatrix, Danielle Lindemann draws on extensive fieldwork and interviews with professional dominatrices in New York City and San Francisco to offer a sophisticated portrait of these unusual professionals, their work, and their clients. Prior research on sex work has focused primarily on prostitutes and most studies of BDSM absorb pro-domme/client relationships without exploring what makes them unique. Lindemann satisfies our curiosity about these paid encounters, shining a light on one of the most secretive and least understood of personal relationships and unthreading a heretofore unexamined patch of our social tapestry. Upending the idea that these erotic laborers engage in simple exchanges and revealing the therapeutic and analytic nature of their work, Lindemann makes a major contribution to cultural studies, anthropology, and queer studies with her analysis of how gender, power, sexuality, and hierarchy shape all of our social experiences.

'Dominatrix' (Volume 2), is an exploration into the largely hidden world of the sadomasochistic female, along with Volume 1, it offers the definitive and most broad-ranging international study of the subject ever undertaken. Conducted over a 10-year period, by the BDSM magazine publisher and writer, Roy Turner, these eBooks offer a full, frank and totally unique insight into the real world of the dominatrix, those who work within the 'sex industry', as well as those who live out the 'Fem/Dom' lifestyle in private. In Volume 2, we meet the Antwerp-based; 'Mistress Shane', who is an unrepentant Sadist-managing to combine a passion for strap-on dildos and equal opportunity multi-gender sex with a weakness for romantic fiction and a love of the opera and antiques! Hear how 'Mistress Gen' of band 'The Genitorturers', shocked and enthralled audiences with her notorious live stage show-a combination of a rock concert and an extremely fetishistic sex show, busting taboos in cities all over the world-except Cincinnati! Meet, Patricia de Gifford, who now reigns as 'Supreme Highest Administrator' in one of the most bizarre and ambitious endeavours in the Fem/Dom stratosphere, the legendary 'Other World Kingdom', or OWK for short. Located in the Czech Republic, the OWK has created a veritable country of 'dominant women' and male 'subject-slaves', complete with palaces, farms, even their own currency and, of course, plenty of prisons! Authentically re-enact your schooldays with 'Miss Prim', who works exclusively within the world of 'adult' schoolboy and schoolgirl fantasy scenarios, in her role as headmistress of the 'Muir Academy', in South Wales. 'Nanny Lilly' has devoted herself to the nurturing and (when needed) the chastisement of her 'Big Baby' charges. Here she shares her experiences and understanding of this little known area of eroticism, providing along the way a fascinating insight into the world of the 'adult baby'. Get the truth about Sara Dale, who achieved a degree of infamy some years ago as the 'Miss Whiplash' character in the scandal surrounding property rented out by a then British Chancellor of the Exchequer, Norman Lamont. Unusually, she switches in her role-playing, that is she enjoys playing both the dominant and submissive roles in her unique approach to tantric sex and counselling. Also discover the bizarre, yet enchanting world of female dominance that exists in 'Aristasia' with ambassadress Miss Marianne Martindale, a world of bygone charm and elegance that ignores all events that have occurred since 1960-including the calendar! There are, in all, five or six Aristasian households scattered around Britain. The embassy is the only one that may be visited by a male outsider, and then only by invitation. Miss Martindale, as ambassadress and spokeswoman, is the only Aristasian who will communicate with the outside world. Plus, many other revealing interviews with professional and lifestyle mistresses including the Americans; The Reverend Kellie Everts, Lady Latex, Lady Green, Domina Irene Boss. The UK's; Tanith Au Set, Janus, Mistresses; 'R', Ash, Christine, and Amber. Sub/Dom couples; Chrystalle & Guy, Christine & David, Linda & Gary.

A provocative journey through human sexual history, packed with fun factoids and forgotten stories, from the historian and storyteller behind Kinky History, @esme.louisee on TikTok Contrary to popular belief, our predecessors had all sorts of obscene hobbies long before Christian Grey hit the scene. In this enlightening romp, learn about the first instances of homosexuality on record from the ancient world and the diverse history of nonbinary gender; encounter a thousand years’ worth of hilarious and horrifying contraceptive methods; consider the positive and negative effects of the widespread availability of pornography in the digital age—and how our relationship to it changed during the pandemic; take a sneaky riffle through centuries of bedside drawers; and discover the dirty little secrets of luminaries such as Julius Caesar, James Joyce, Albert Einstein, and Virginia Woolf. Esmé Louise James also identifies the key tipping points that directly inform current beliefs around sex to place the past in conversation with the present. By educating ourselves about the weird, wonderful, and varied spectrum of human sexuality and experience, we can normalize and destigmatize sex, write people of marginalized sexual identities back into the pages of history, and build toward a more liberated future.

Gegenwartskunst ist mehr als schlichte Zeitgenossenschaft. Es ist eine neue Weise des Sehens und des Sichtbarmachens. Diesem Gedanken ist der radikale Wandel verpflichtet, mit dem die rumänische Kunst sich im vergangenen Jahrzehnt neu erfunden hat. Zu verdanken ist dies nicht nur etablierten Künstlern, die sich neue Ausdrucksmittel erschließen. Antrieb ist vor allem eine junge Generation rumänischer Künstler, die nicht mehr die direkte Erfahrung des Lebens und Arbeitens im Kommunismus gemacht hat. Ihre Werke artikulieren ein aktuelles Lebensgefühl samt seiner eigenen Wahrnehmung und Diskurse. Ein Hauptthema ihrer künstlerischen Produktion ist die Macht technisch vermittelter Bilder zur Kontrolle und Konstruktion von Realität und sozialer Erfahrung. Der prächtige Bildband nimmt diesen Schwerpunkt auf, um 29 der innovativsten Künstler und ihre eindringlichen wie faszinierenden Werke vorzustellen.

Sadomasochism and the BDSM Community in the United States: Kinky People Unite chronicles the development of sadomasochistic sexuality and its communities in the United States from the post-war period to the present day. Having evolved from scattered networks of sadomasochists to a coherent body bound by shared principles of "safe, sane, consensual," activists worked to transform popular perceptions of their community, end its routine harassment by law enforcement and win inclusion in American society. Often paralleling the work of LGBTQ activists, people who engaged in BDSM (Bondage and Discipline, Dominance and Submission, and Sadism and Masochism) transformed both their own sexual practices and how outsiders perceived them, successfully changing popular perceptions of them from fascists, murderers, and outlaws to people living an alternative lifestyle. The development of this community highlights the interactions of people of different sexual orientations within a sexual community, the influence of various campaigns for sexual freedom, and the BDSM community's influence on popular perceptions of sexuality and sexual freedom. The text’s historical perspective gives depth and texture to a specific dimension of American history of sexuality. This book will be of interest to students and scholars in the history of sexuality. Its clear and direct approach offers an important and useful chronology of a movement that has long been neglected.
