Title of book: The Ultimate Guide to Kink, BDSM, Role Play and the Erotic Edge. Author: Tristan Taormino Publisher: Cleis Press Number of pages: 475
This is an amazing book written from many perspectives. It is a great resource for beginners as well as people who have been in the scene for years. The book is divided into two parts with the first being about skills and techniques and the second about fantasies and philosophies. Each author’s voice comes through in topics such as bondage, tantra, fisting, piercing, role play, sadism, and masochism (among others). Each concept is described in such a way as to make them accessible to those who have never participated while also giving friendly tips and reminders for other readers who have engaged in these various activities.
Taormino’s book gives just enough flavor to the beginning kinkster to whet their appetite that they might go on to find another resource with more in depth information. Each author is well known for the topic they have written about and while I personally did not recognize all the names, I am familiar with, and have met, a couple of these authors.
True not everything will appeal to every reader, but The Ultimate Guide to Kink can provide a safe way to learn about various kinks and allow the reader to see what might be interesting or exciting to explore. As someone who is working toward a Doctorate in Human Sexuality and needs to be as informed about all sexuality as is possible, I was enthralled by (nearly) every part of this text. There were some sections that I did not expect to enjoy: the chapter about piercing, for example, but I was surprised at how “not scary” it seemed.
Thanks again for all your amazing entries, and stay kinky and well-read!
In recognition that behind every great master is a great servant, The Stockroom designates the first Tuesday following the first Monday in September Slave Labor Day!
What Is Slave Labor Day?
Slave Labor Day celebrates the joys of servitude, as well as honoring the servants that do their best to ensure the comfort and satisfaction of those they serve. In the spirit of this holiday, we offer several suggestions for honoring those that serve:
– Spare the rod: Instead of physically disciplining a slave, rationally explain their transgression to them. Stroke their hair as you offer positive reinforcement.
– Invite them to dinner: Let them sit at the table for a change, instead of begging for scraps underneath it.
– Take them out for a walk: A healthy slave is a happy slave!
As a handy guide to your holiday shopping wants and needs we’ve put together a list of what we consider the crème de la crème of gear that celebrates the D/s lifestyle.
Instagram Contest:
There’s an almost infinite number of possibilities for treating a slave. To sweeten the honeypot a bit, The Stockroom will be giving away THE ULTIMATE SLAVE KIT to one qualifying winner of our Slave Labor Day Celebration Contest!
#10 Your slave doing your favorite (PG RATED) thing.
B) Upload photos to Instagram*.
Use #slavelaborday to tag your picture.
C) Send an email to contest@stockroom.com with your Instagram username, number of entries, date of birth (for age verification), and contact information (along with preferred method of contact).

Not to toot our own horn, but we have some happy news to announce: The Stockroom is now the proud holder of its first U.S. Patent for the Bolero Straitjacket™!
Handmade in our Los Angeles workshop, the Bolero Straitjacket has been one of our signature designs since its introduction in 2009, when we
filed our patent application. Each jacket is individually created by our in-house production team to ensure the highest quality of each and every straitjacket we produce.
The Patent Office grants a patent when the filing party demonstrates that they have created a product or design that is novel, non-obvious, and useful. Although a straitjacket restraint has been in existence for over 200 years, the design of the Bolero Straitjacket, with its cut-out chest, allows an examiner to take the heartbeat of the wearer, attach and detach electrodes easily, or monitor vital signs while in restraints. Simultaneously, the open chest design reduces chafing and overheating, permitting secure restraint without the intimidation factor of a traditional institutional straitjacket.
The Stockroom patent on the Bolero Straitjacket means that it cannot be legally manufactured or sold in the United States without a licensefrom The Stockroom. Adult and fetish specialty stores may carry the Bolero, but be sure to keep an eye out for counterfeits. Real Bolero Straitjackets are made of high quality leather or latex, so if a deal is too good to be believed, or the seller is overseas, be cautious. All Boleros have a Stockroom tag. Newly made Boleros will have a tag proudly displaying the patent number. Should you have any questions about authenticity, please email info@stockroom.com with the appropriate information (web address, name of site, etc.) and we will assist you as best we can.
Aside from its medical properties, the Bolero is a stunning piece of fetish wear, combining fashion and restraint in a single design. The adjustable chest strap is one of the most significant innovations by securing the garment beneath the ribcage, rather than between the legs. This is a marked improvement over the classic between-the-legs style of restraint that keeps the jacket on the patient, but does not necessarily restrict the wearer from moving around with little resistance. D-rings placed at the front of the collar and mid-torso make attaching a leash or other bondage gear a snap.
Available in red leather, black leather, perforated black leather, and black latex, the Bolero is versatile enough to use in almost any scenario, from medical play, to costumed role play, or wherever else your imagination takes you. Please share any particularly devious designs for play in the comments below!

Khloe was looking for some special pieces to spice up a sexy photoshoot for her husband Lamar Odom and found some latex items that hugged her curves beautifully.
