Let me say to you, quietly but emphatically, that no matter how bizarre, extreme, or perverted your fantasies and desires may seem to you, please know that thousands of other people have similar thoughts.
You may believe you are the only person in the world interested in SM. I know some of your questions, and something of the torment these questions often cause.įirst, know you are not alone. Despite the controversy over the level of safety appropriate for experienced BDSM "players", for people beginning to explore BDSM, who are the intended audience of this book, it's appropriate to strongly emphasize safety for acts which carry significant risks. Within the BDSM world, there is some controversy over safety and acceptable risk, and Wiseman comes down very strongly on the low-risk end of things.
Wiseman has an EMT background, and is a strong exponent of safety in one's BDSM practice. There is some introductory material which would be of use for the second sort of reader, but it's presented more as background material before delving into the details than it is an overview for outsiders. The author intended for people to read straight through it, though he reports that many people use it as a reference work, turning to the section they're most interested in reading about.SM101 is much more for people who are interested in, or curious about, participating in BDSM activities, than it is for someone trying to understand from the outside. It really is a "realistic introduction" for people who are interested in getting started into the world of BDSM (the current PC acronym for S&M).
