Different Loving: A Complete Exploration of the World of Sexual Dominance and Submission by Gloria Brame, Jon Jacobs, William Brame
5.0
I'm not even sure how I can make a review for this book. I absolutely love it.
As someone who is very into sex education and BDSM education and psychology, as well as someone who has worked at a Sex Store/Shop, this book only increased my interest and my adoration for the community.
It was heavily educational, despite it being such an old book, based from surveys and interviews done in 1991-1992.
If you like the history of kink and BDSM communities, and you like to understand how the culture has shifted from what it used to be to how we interact with it and see it now, then this book might feed your curiosity of hearing from the members of the community themselves!
As someone who heavily enjoys the psychology of bdsm and kink, I heavily enjoyed how in depth this book went into history as well as showing how different people interact with their kinks, and recognize why they might have those kinks, as well as explaining WHY the kink or fetish is enjoyable and interesting!
I heavily adore this book and I don't think I plan on ever giving it up, and I have even gone as far as looking up and finding their SECOND book, Different Loving Too!

This book was worked on and published in 2015, and it is unfortunately a much SMALLER book, but it is full of more interviews and info... I am currently in the process of reading it!
