I briefly toyed (pardon that pun, which you'll understand toward the end of this blog) about replacing "NAUGHTY NAUGHTY" with "SPANK SPANK SPANK," but I thought better of it -- despite how applicable it would've been.
Everyone, their mama and their mama's stylist has heard of "Fifty Shades of Grey," fever for which has spread across the country. Taking advantage of the craze are authors Debra and Don Macleod, and their new book "50 Ways to Play: BDSM for Nice People" (Tarcher/Penguin, $10).
The husband-wife duo, whose previous books include "Lube Jobs: A Woman's Guide to Great Maintenance Sex" and "Lip Service: A His and Hers Guide to the Art of Oral Sex and Seduction," answer the question some "Fifty Shades" readers might ask upon finishing EL James' saucy little trilogy: "How do
I get started?"
As the title suggests, 50 erotic tips are offered for spicing up one's bedroom activities. For "Fifty Shades" fans, think of it as a manual to helping awaken your "inner goddess."
The Macleods cover everything from Japanese rope bondage to what they call "the softer, soapier side of BDSM" -- and lots more in between. "Lots" including erotic humiliation, flogging instruments and, one of the most intriguing sections, "When ice is nice."
And, yes, there are toys of the non-FAO Schwarz variety mentioned. Whip-POW!
Ask your favorite bookseller about "Fifty Ways to Play." Then, promptly call or email me with a story about how that particular exchange went.
Peace, love and SPANK SPANK SPANK ... XOXO
