Step-by-step Blueprint On How To Train Your New Sub. A Must Read For Any Dom/Master In A BDSM Relationship

The book has everything to prepare you for a BDSM relationship. It discusses steps you can follow in preparing your sub for a more fun sexual relationship. It talks about protocols which guides you with the rules on speech, clothing, attitude, etc. It is a good read book. Very informative and thorough. I didn't feel like I wasted a minute reading it. It's not like reading something and just scrolling through the pages finding for something that makes sense. It's fun to read and I definitely learn a lot

This book is well written like others have said. It's Volume 1 in the series so it's newbie friendly and covers all the basics. However, it's also a great refresher for the experienced like myself and I've learnt a few new things. I like that the author didn't pretend or try to cover all possible variations in the BDSM world - I can see how that would just confuse the new comers. It's focused, simple, and easy to follow.

Outstanding little book! The Author had immediate credibility by opening with a brief description about gathering "her" history. I used this content to talk with my Lady and put her at ease. As a result she is now more open to further exploration in our D/s relationship.

What I am learning from these $9 little books with big print and 40 pages, is that I should write a few myself!!! (I am currently working on my first novel). The content is good, but minimal, you can get it on-line for free advice at no cost. If I'm going to pay $9 or more for a book, I'd like it to have more than 30 - 40 pages in it.

Seems to focus on purely physical and superficial attributes of sub training, more like the Story of O rather than anything actually useful for creating a meaningful and fulfilling relationship that appeals both to the dom and the sub. Waste of money.

This series is probably the best available for those new to BDSM and especially D/s. I recommend both D's and submissives to read the entire series. Not only are details given but some very good advice and insight as well. You will likely want to get some other books concerning techniques, toys or even more in depth books about the psychology of the power exchange and Dominance or submission. But especially for someone new to it all, this series will really explain things well. You will have a good understanding about BDSM and this series will help you get started in a safe and sane way. Many people have very incorrect ideas and assumptions about BDSM which leads them to disappointment or pains that are not enjoyable, mentally and physically. This series will help you avoid those unfortunate aspects which we will likely come across in the kink world. I can not think of how to express all that I would like to right now, but I am really quite impressed with this series. My prior background was only in on line environments. I thought I learned quite a lot on line, but these books have helped a lot more, I wish I found them a couple years ago. You won't be disappointed.

This is a great stepping off point for anyone approaching, considering, or undergoing a training period with a submissive, or any powerplay training at all.

This is a harrowing and highly difficult thing to accomplish, and this road map is invaluable. Read it, study it, prepare yourself, and then give it your all.

This quick primer, an easy and well organnized read, covers all the bases, and is a good starting place for those new to the topic, and a good "continuing education" read for those who are experienced. For the price, it might as well be on the bookshelf of anyone serious about this lifestyle.

An earlier review berated the book for (the reviewer implied) saying that safe words are not to be used. This is an inaccurate portrayal of what was written in the book.

It's a short, little training manual that pretty much cuts out all the psychological mumbo-jumbo no one really wants to read about, and gets right down to the nitty-gritty of dominating a submissive via cause and effect. I mean, honestly, best methodology I've seen, and for being a small little book, it's priceless! So why only 4-stars? I love stories with characters in them, although I like human behavior manuals that read like stereo instructions. If they had psychological mumbo-jumbo in it I would have given it fewer stars. It was definitely worth all the time I took to read it, and I'll definitely be putting most of the things in it to use in my own life.

As other reviewers have mentioned this book does focus on male doms and female subs but it can be useful for any Dom looking to train a new sub. All dom/sub pairs are different and this book provides some great tips for Doms to get to know their new sub as well as techniques to start the training process. A lot of the information in this book is geared towards new Doms but long time Doms can benefit from this book as well, especially if they have not had a new sub for a while.

The book was pretty general in its approach. This was written from the perspective of a female submissive. There are submissive men, too. I think this is a huge "miss". Also, there was nothing in this book that one wouldn't find in a search of the internet.

This book is garbage.

First, it's hardly long enough to be a "book." If it were fiction, it would easily qualify as a short story.

Second, this book assumes the male is the dom and the female is the sub, and all pronouns are used this way consistently throughout the book.

But really, what makes this book so truly awful, is that the author sets forth what is essentially a recipe for 'training' a sub, and this one-size-fits-all approach doesn't leave any room for the possibility that, just maybe, different people have different relationships and will use different features in their play.

Frankly, I found the whole thing to be rather condescending. It grated on me and I regret every penny of my purchase. I'll probably donate it to my local dungeon, but I expect it to quickly be the target of ridicule from the community.

Strictly heterosexual and assumes a male dominant with a female submissive. Unrealistic guidelines for time and space requirements. So not worth $5 especially since the author has 2 follow-ups. It took 20 minutes to read. That's a pamphlet, not a book.

This book is very rigid and gives very little concern for the sub. The rigidity of training does not make any room for our growing relationship, where we get to see each other 1-3 times a week. Following the ideas in this book, even in the context of the love and care I have for my partner, has tested her trust.

Terrible, terrible book. It's written at the 5th grade reading level and does very little to discuss the "Daddy" side of being a Dominant. The writer seemed selfish and childish. It's not a book for someone in an intimate D/s relationship where the partners realize you're mutually caring for one another when you enter into this. I've read quite a few books on this subject and this is far and away the absolute worst. I read it in half an hour.

This guide focuses solely on a female submissive. I was hoping it would be more gender neutral as it went on, but it was not. It was also VERY specific as to the steps to take. This guide is best suited to the very new Dom who is in need of a narrow set of steps to take with their new sub.

Found it to be a bit of a disappointment. Nothing you cant find on the web with easy searches. Doesn't go into specifics and glosses over what it CAN BE to be a dom/sub. Save yourself some money and look it up.

I bought this book biggest piece of how to garbage ever, really get on my hands and knees and set a drink on me ? Never have your eyes lower than him...complete how to on how to break and degrade a person , not a how to , and it was only forty pages ...save your money .

The person who wrote this book actually freaking said that safewords "don't count during punishment." What? Why does this tribute to abusive relationships manage to still have a 100% five star rating? I can't imagine what people who aren't in the community would think upon reading that line, but it probably won't debunk any "D/s relationships are abusive" feelings. There is never an appropriate time to entirely take away a sub's ability to withdraw consent.

This book starts out by making the reasonable claim that all Dom/sub training relationships are different because the needs of the people involved are different... the rest of the book basically acts as though all Dom/sub relationships are the same. So essentially it's one person's wacked out fantasy of what a D/s relationship is supposed to look like.

This book was rather informative and written well. It goes through the different stages from start to end and its suggestions are very nicely done. Also, I like the focus of the female being submissive. Furthermore, there is a great emphasis on learning which is definitely helpful for those starting out in the BDSM field and those with new masters or subs. It is adaptable for all levels. As a whole, I rather enjoyed it.
