The New Topping Book

By: Dossie Easton, Janet Hardy

Narrated by: Janet W. Hardy, Dossie Easton

Two decades ago, this book (and its companion volume, The New Bottoming Book) began teaching tens of thousands of people the joyous arts of BDSM topping and bottoming - not just "how-to," but "why-to"...the insider details of emotional support and ethical interaction during kinky play. Since then, the growing popularity of BDSM, and the blossoming of the Internet as a source of information and connection, have created a whole new universe of possibilities for players. Now, the completely updated revised New Topping Book gives even more insights and ideas, updated for a new millennium, about how to be a successful, popular player!

Great Starter!

This a very good book for beginners or those curious about BDSM. It is very detailed in various forms of kink and rules on playing safe. It has insightful with scenes that explain the emotional connection and conduct. Although, the book is more geared towards lifestyle there is plenty of useful information for those just curious.

Excellent read

I truly struggled with the ethical slut. There were so many problematic ideations and narrow viewpoints that both triggered and disturbed me. Here I feel the authors are on ground where they truly shine.

Very helpful and well written

With the exception of the last chapter, which was a bit nee-agey for my tastes, I learned more from this book than the last three on the same topic. The narrator was excellent too.

Unique and educational!

This book is well written, and outlines the fundamentals of safe and consensual activities with another person or people, whether in the BDSM sphere, in (a) vanilla sexual/romantic relationship(s), both, or neither. May not be the best read for those in the ace/aro spectrum who happen to be sex-repulsed, although skipping the "interlude" sections may alleviate distress in that vein. Although I have some experience as a switch, I still learned a LOT from this read. I felt acknowledged as a member of the LGBT community and a polyamorous person without feeling as though the authors had to carve out room for that language or shove it in after the fact. Good for the curious, beginners, intermediates, and experts in the kink world. My first Audible listen, and certainly not my last from these two. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Thank you

Thank you for increasing my knowledge of being a top as I explore the kink world is a safe and consensual way.
