This book is actually not so much about S&M. It's about coming to terms with your sexuality, societal pressures, communicating with your partner and some feminism. I really like it.
Now I'll to go follow all those interesting links...

Read it, an interest, mildly. But this is 2012, her blog no longer exists, she no longer writes under this name and I don't know, or care, if she writes or blogs under her real name, which I also have.
This was just a collection of blog posts, defending her position as someone who both likes the M part of kink, now a bit of a switch, and gets attacked by feminists who think that she can't be both a feminist and a kink participant. As if sexuality had anything to do with politics or policy. So, she spends her time explaining herself, her many partners (never a long term relationship, which she does think about, but she's very young here and doesn't know what she wants to be, other than someone who makes a living writing about sexuality - not an option for most men, but attractive young women, well, that changes things in many ways - in this age) and her waffling back and forth between monogamy and polyamory. She's now into polyamory, or is by the end of the book.
The links are ALL out of date, none work anymore, it's not a book I'd recommend anyone interested in exploration buy because it's really a memoir of her personal journey, not a map any one else could, or should, follow. Waste of my time, but I finish what I start...

This is a fabulous collection. It loses a bit in repetitiveness though... I’d have rather read a single coherent book than sixty standalone blog posts where most every post reintroduces the major concepts.
Also, I was hoping the articles labelled “theory” would be more theory.
As a book of anecdotes and essays on a theme, it is delightful.
