A Century of Spells
Author: Carolyn Elliott
Publisher: Weiser Books
ISBN: 1578636477
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 226
Book Description
A smart, sexy guide to embracing the repressed, tabooed, and often unwanted aspects of ourselves so we can discover our inner power and finally live the life we deserve. 'We always get exactly what we want; but often, though we may not be aware of it, what we most want is dark - very dark." Each of us has a dual nature: we are light (conscious) and dark (unconscious). The dark side of our personality - the "other," the shadow side - is made up of what we think is our primitive, primal, negative impulses - our "existential kink." Our existential kink also drives the dark or negative repeating patterns in our life: always choosing the abusive partner or boss, settling for less, thinking that we're undeserving, not worthy. But it also is the source of our greatest power. In Existential Kink, Carolyn Elliot, PhD, offers a truth-telling guide for bringing our shadow into the light. Inviting us to make conscious the unconscious, Elliot asks us to own the subconscious pleasure we get from the stuck, painful patterns of our existence. Existential Kink provides practical advice and meditations so we truly see our shadow side's "guilty pleasures," love and accept them, and integrate them into our whole being. By doing so, Elliot shows, we bring to life the raw, hot, glorious power we all have to get what we really want in our lives.

How to Start a Kinky Relationship
Author: James Amoureux
Publisher: Tantralogic Group Publishing
ISBN: 9780615458557
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 236
Book Description
"How To Start A Kinky Relationship" is for the kink-curious novice as well as the seasoned bondage master and long time S&M submissive. People who never had the pleasure of a kinky relationship will find all the tools they need to get the ball rolling. People who have been kinky in the past but "just fell into it" will have a systematic approach to starting and growing their next relationship. People who already self-identify as kinky or queer or pervert will find plenty of insights that will improve their overall communication and sexual relationships. This book delves into the mindset, activities, and communication styles that make kinky relationships great. It shows you how to get comfortable with kink, find partners, screen them for compatibility, communicate your desires, and grow your relationship. It does not detail rope bondage techniques, how to become a leather-studded sex machine, or how to use the Force to lure unsuspecting Jedi to the Kinky side. Rather it will help you understand your own personal preferences and how to find a compatible partner to play with. The focus of this book is on relationships, not landing kinky quickies with your online hook up. Still, casual encounters follow the same principles: know what you want, be congruent, define your relationship terms, get enthusiastic consent, and take responsibility for your actions. Then you can keep yourself busy having the most amazing, wild, mind-blowing sex the world has ever known.
