Reader reviews of "The Vanilla Dominatrix"

Focus on the end result...
Some of the people to whom I gave review copies are finally producing Feedback.

"A breath of fresh air"
"baggyone72" of the Fetlife community provided some useful suggestions for the second edition and was kind enough to say:

Overall I liked the book very much. It certainly opened up possible avenues for me to explore, and potentially is something that my wife can also accept. I love the idea of a "part-time slave" and the fact that the biggest hurdle is in selling the product. Your book was a breath of fresh air - I am sick of books/websites on "female led relationships" and the like where the only way is to become a doormat/houseboy...which in my case is never going to happen;
a) my wife wouldn't let it happen, she is quite traditional in her view of marital roles.
b) I'm not interested in fawning and doing all the domestic chores 100% of the time.
Old dog new tricks!

Meanwhile,  Fred Norman, veteran kinkster and maker of amazing whips told me:
Really excellent, Giles.  An A+  I see where and why I've made mistakes in the past.
However, he did point out that not everybody would get my Briticisms! Something to fix in the 2nd edition.

  2. For you to read, not her, though. Your fantasy, you get to do all the work!

  3. I received a review copy a while ago and due to life pressures, vacation and other excuses have yet to post a review. I promise I will post a proper review in due course. In the meantime I'm posting a quick comment to assuage my guilt at my tardiness.

    I read it on holiday and found it an enjoyable well written read with excellent advice and information. Certainly well worthwhile for someone who is in a relationship and wants their partner to happily take a more dominant and controlling role. Also a good choice if you are looking for a mostly vanilla partnership with added D/s. Even if you are simply interested in persuading your significant other to engage in more kink this book has an approach that could readily be applied. For myself if single I'd probably be looking only for a truly compatible partner kink wise but even then sometimes you meet the person who is right in every other respect... So, don't hold your breath waiting for a full review, although I will get around to it, if this sounds to you to be what you are looking for it probably is.
