Loved the simple outline and the storytelling. Great introduction to Topping
This book is a fantastic resource! It clearly outlines the safety responsibilities of topping, as well as providing all sorts of excellent information to get started. I would recommend it to everyone.
However, since the “updated” version was published in 2003, it really has no business claiming to be “up to the minute” anymore. The updated sections are pretty out of date. The section on people of colour in kink was extremely lacking, and while I’m sure it was fine in 2003, its pretty pathetic for 2023. As a person of colour I found that it was a lot of words used to say nothing significant. Next, the section on the internet gives blatantly out of date information and advice about online safety. And lastly the book includes a stolen indigenous legend, that is simplified and sanitized for white consumption, and credited only as a “Native American story.” So the “updated” sections were sorely disappointing to read.
That said, the rest of the book is a fantastic resource, and I would recommend it to anyone and everyone who is even a little bit curious about kink!!
