"Stefani Goerlich and Elyssa Helfer skilfully write about the misunderstood topic of kink and BDSM with much clarity, dispelling the myths and harmful assumptions, and making this book an accessible and enjoyable read. This book is well-researched and includes all the complexities and nuances of kink and BDSM, from pleasure and pain to benefits and risks. It is a must-read for all therapists and other professionals in becoming kink-informed and kink-affirmative."
Silva Neves, author of Sexology: The Basics
"BDSM and Kink: The Basics is a thorough exploration of kink that is much needed, both for those who want to explore their own sexuality and those who want to understand kinky people. The only way to combat the stigma around these sexual practices and marginalized communities is through frank discussion and education about consent and the skills that are needed to play safely. Every professional should also understand these dynamics to better assist their clients who are kinky."
