All you really need to know about BDSM PART 1

It is undeniable that the world of fetishism and sadomasochism has become fashionable in recent times: just take a look at the recently released pictures of Kylie Minogue wearing a rope harness, or Lady Gaga being bound by Japanese genius Nobuyoshi Araki … Not to mention the growing presence of traditionally notorious fetish accessories such as masks, blindfolds or extremely high heels in the latest fashion catalogues.

With this sudden popularity, many people begin to feel curiosity for this world, which until recently was very obscure and difficult to access … As they approach the BDSM world they may not know where to get reliable information. Of course on the Internet one can find everything, but without filters with which to gauge the quality of information.

On the internet there are a lot of lies and half truths contained in the thousands of websites that are available on the subject. In the world of print, things seemed no better thing: plenty of erotic books and fantasy literature, but few really serious books with which to start. In the nineties, people began to talk of an American book called “BDSM 101″, written by Jay Wiseman, which explained with clarity and humour all that a “newbie” should know about the world of BDSM, from how to make simple ties to basic safety principles when using a whip.

However, the translation into Spanish has lagged quite a bit. Fortunately, it eventually reached the hands of the Editorial Bellaterra, and the Spanish edition is entitled “BDSM. Introducción a las prácticas y su significado.” This book is a best bet for anyone wanting to enter the world of sadomasochism …. It can be purchased in Spain, but as the publisher is Catalan, it’s easiest to find in Barcelona: bookshops Laie as well as La Casa del Libro, Taifas or Central will all have copies. It will be easy to rent apartments in Barcelona and buy the book to initiate you into a world of new sensations.
