Book Reviews of The Mistress Manual: The Good Girl's Guide to Female Dominance
Book Review: Interesting and entertaining. Could help conservative couple's to spice up their love lives.
Summary: 4 Stars
I work in the capacity of a personal and professional growth coach with a very sex positive approach. I find that when people have issues, they often show up eventually in the bedroom. I also have an assumption that our society has both a fascination with sex and at the same time a lot of guilt, shame and ignorance around it, especially areas involving sexual fantasies.
As a psychological professional, I see that shame and guilt around certain fantasies often leads to acting out. Husbands and wives are often reticent to share some of their fantasies because of shame and this creates a barrier between them. In my practice, I have found honest, humor and a safe environment leads to increased intimacy and a safe space to explore new behaviors that enhance intimacy.
In our culture, women often feel disempowered and sometimes they fantasize about turning the tables. A lot of men find this interesting too and sometimes even pay for it because they are too ashamed to discuss this desire with their wife or partner. While there is a lot of material out there on this topic and other related topics, not all of them are equal.
I came across this book accidentally in a bookstore and picked it up and started reading it. I found it entertaining and it had some ideas that I laughed at and others that sounded very interesting. This book also explored five archetypal fantasies that form the basis of many men's fantasies with respect to a woman being dominant. This was an interesting discussion and it lead deeper into the territory of how to discuss these fantasies with a partner and use this material to spice up your sexual communication and sex life.
This title is geared to conversative couples who want to wade slowly into exploring new sexual territory. As such, it is an excellent start. I personally believe that although sex is to be taken very seriously, it also important to balance this with humor and a sense of playfulness. This book has this type of approach and would be good for a lot of couples interested in this area to explore together.
Also, as part of my work I deal with people who have sexual addictions, sexual co-dependency, etc. I think there is potential in many sexual activities to go too far and the area of domination/submission role playing is no exception. However, like most things, it can be fun and beneficial in moderation. What moderation is depends upon each individual couple and what they co-create together as a safe space for sexual play.
I would love to see a world where people were less inhibited and open to learning more about their psyche and needs through the safe and open exploration of their fantasies. What we repress, we often act out and try to work out on the outside. Also, these fantasies sometimes point to deep needs, past wounds and provide compensatory mechanisms in the psyche.
If you want to introduce a partner who is shy or inhibited, but that you suspect has an interest in this area, this is probably the best book you can start with. If you are into the scene already, it may be a lot of material you've already seen. However, it's a nice, brief introduction to a taboo topic and I appreciate the sex positive approach.
I am currently doing research in the area of healthy sexuality and some must have books I've come across are YOUR EROTIC MIND, THE EVOLUTION OF DESIRE and DARK EROS. I think it is very important to explore the entire psyche and seek integration rather than cutting off or being ashamed of kinks or desire that other people might find as odd. These books that I mentioned above will help you to understand why you have the types of fantasies you have, where they come from, what they might mean and help you to develop a healthy realtionship to them.
Summary of The Mistress Manual: The Good Girl's Guide to Female Dominance
In 1994, The Mistress Manual was born as a simple pink guidebook self-published by an experienced dominant woman. She moved on to other efforts, and the book fell out of print - much to the disappointment of thousands of eager submissive men and dominant women. Now, Greenery Press has brought this classic back to life in an updated new edition - perfect reading for the woman or man who has completed our Sexually Dominant Woman and is looking for more information. Covers everything from establishing authority to exerting discipline. (Don't miss its famous "Ten Rules for a Successful Mistress"!)Love & Romance Books
