Reddit reviews Darling Discovered: A True Story of Submission

Hey! Welcome! There's a great journal out there called Where I Am Led that helps guide submissives on their path.

I've also written a book about my transition from a vanilla, egalitarian marriage to one of kink and power exchange. You can check the reviews on Amazon and if you/she would like a free author's ebook copy I'm happy as always to send one. Paperback is available there too if she'd prefer. Shoot me a DM with your preferred email and I'll get you an electronic copy if you would like.

Here's the link to both:

This book is awesome and really helped my boyfriend understand the D/s mindset and helped us move forward in our journey. The couple starts off vanilla so it should be relatable to you. The author posts here on the BDSM subs too.

Note: it's geared towards those interested in a 24/7 lifestyle but does contain some general useful "scene" info as well.

A copy/paste of one of my posts from January:

There are several books about BDSM and its culture. Also female sexuality is often shunted for male, and both genders get a ton of misinformation in the judgmental world. The clit is a lot more than a nub and the proper term is vulva. I’ll post a few links of my favorite reading material and a bit about why I enjoyed them. The New Topping a New Bottoming Books a good overview of how to set up, the different types, and responsibilities of each person in a scene and explores the emotional side of it. https://www.amazon.com/New-Topping-Book-Dossie-Easton/dp/B001TJV5DW

Playing Well With Others. Examines the entire kink culture and how and why people can safely get involved. All the different symbols, types of D/s way more definitions then I could say here, the difference between a kink club, sex club, fetish night, leather bar etc. is all here. The back has a great long overview of many possible kinks and a chart for you to map out your experience and limit levels with each one. Also has a glossary of more books.

Also I’m new to relationships in general but to really learn how to make a woman feel good you might want to look into She Comes First. As you'll see from reviews even couples who've been together a long time really got 'energized' by the book. Also good at dispelling many myths around female sexuality that both men and women might think. It’s written by a guy but very focused on female-centric pleasure, right up a subby guy’s alley. It’s really helped me and I’m only halfway through since I got it 2 days ago!

Darling Discovered. A submissive woman’s journey from a vanilla relationship transitioned to D/s. I really identified with her for much of the book. The other recommendations are mostly objective but you really go into Mrs. Darling’s heart, it’s a true story so none of the trite clichés made by authors who know nothing of the culture. It may also give insight to those already in relationships considering BDSM, something I don’t have experience in. Her prologue that you can view with Look Inside certainly grabs the attention of the reader! https://www.amazon.com/Darling-Discovered-True-Story-Submission/dp/0997421916

I have a few newer reviews if you want?
