From the mind that brought you the memoirs Elf Girl and Live Nude Elf comes BDSM 101, a no-nonsense manual for those readers interested in learning about bondage and discipline; dominance and submission; and sadism, masochism, or sadomasochism.

For years, Rev. Jen has been coaching her readers on all sex-related matters through her articles in Penthouse and posts on Nerve, an online magazine. A self-proclaimed authority on the subject of sex (and specifically BDSM), Jen spent her early twenties working as a professional submissive at a swanky Manhattan dungeon before becoming a sex surrogate for a renowned therapist.

In BDSM 101, Jen shares rare insight into this oftentimes misunderstood world. Practical instructions are given on:

• Safety and communication
• Bondage, spanking, flogging
• Fetishes, humiliation, dirty talk
• And more

Included are steamy, sometimes ridiculous anecdotes from Jen's past, interviews with her wacky artist friends, and basic illustrations. According to the author, "This book is what would happen if Marquis de Sade, Andy Warhol, and Dorothy Parker got together and made a nymphomaniac Bride of Frankenstein."

Useful, entertaining, and written with rare candor, BDSM 101 is a book that can offer spark to the fires of love in any relationship.
