The Mistress Manual, Miss Abernathy's Concise Slave Training Manual and [The Art Of Sensual Female Dominance] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0806520892) are all books about Female Dominance in some fashion or another. They are written by women, are quite readable and have overall good stuff going on for all of them. I can't recommend one specifically as an end all be all but I know each of them has good things to offer.

The Ultimate Guide to Kink is also a really great resource but it talks about a huge range of stuff and all of the essays are written by different people. It's not specifically about F/m but a nice general overview of all sorts of kinky activities.

Also, reading them to her in bed is adorable.

Have your friend order him to fill out a Submissive's BDSM Checklist so that she has some idea of what he likes and doesn't like. He may have the idealistic view that a Dominant should just "know," or he may be too embarrassed to tell her directly -- maybe writing it down via the Checklist and not having to say it will be a good starting point for discussion, and he will feel less shy and start talking.

HOWEVER, I would recommend to your friend that if he won't talk about it at all, that she doesn't do anything until he's willing to communicate and own his desires in some way. If he can't communicate outside the scene, he probably won't do so "in scene," and that is a recipe for drama and disaster, as well as possible injury.

EDITING to add that a wonderful resource for women whose male partners have expressed an interest in Domination is The Mistress Manual: The Good Girl's Guide to Female Dominance. Another good (although very heteronormative and directed toward MaleDoms and femsubs, it has great info and exercises, nonetheless) book for beginners is Screw the Roses, Send Me the Thorns.

Before you spend money on book(s), http://mojoupgrade.com is a good starting point. Especially if you answer and discuss the questions together.

I would suggest you read this book.

It really dives into the mental aspect of female domination. I have never read it my self (I am told it's better if the guy doesn't read it) but the 2 women I have had my femdom adventures with seem to really get into it after reading it. I find confindence as the most important aspect for the domme to have, and remember he wants you to be the dominate one so you shouldn't cateror to his wants

That helps. My wife read The Mistress Manual and got a lot out of it, especially in terms of the relationship dynamic. I never read it (I wasn't supposed to), but she seems a lot more comfortable as the top now.

As for the BDSM play, that's pretty broad as well. Bondage is the only one I've read a lot on. A great rope bondage book to own is The Knotty Boys Show You The Rope.

Of course, there's a giant list of other types of play you might want. Just go to Fetlife and look at the fetishes list. Feel free to come back here for advice.

The one thing every single book will say is to communicate with your partner. Do it. Seriously.

I was in a very similar situation to you! My husband has always been into it, but I found it really awkward and kinda bizarre. The problem I had was that I respect him, so found demeaning him so very wrong! I found an e-book which really helped me, and I can't recommend it enough! It completely changed my perspective. It's more of a "changing your mentality" guide than a "this-is-how-to-tie-a-knot" guide, which was exactly what I needed. The key thing with domination is that it really doesn't work if you're uncomfortable or nervous about it. Also, its not really about what you do. It's about the whole experience.

I found an interesting documentary on Netflix (here in the UK, don't know about anywhere else) called Fetishes, which filmed inside a BDSM dungeon, which was really interesting, because it shows interviews with individuals who are into BDSM and why they like it, and how it makes them feel.

I wish you all the best! I really would at lead read the free sample of that book - it helped me so much.

Remember, this should be playful and fun. And don't let your submissive partner run the show (topping from the bottom), make sure you're clear you want to try things in specific spaces of time, not ALL the time. Things can get way out of hand once someone finds a piece of what they need/want, they want more and more.

This one?

Does it cover orgasm control, teasing, and denial?

This used to be me! Then I read this book and at first glance you might think, "no, this doesn't apply to me" but read chapter 2. It's a book designed for you to pick and choose what you're interested in learning. It just helped me to stop pretending to be sweet and submissive and taught me more about how to be assertive and speak my mind even in non-sexual situations.

So, I don't know if what I have to say is at all helpful, and mostly I wanted to comment because I'm a little jealous at your willingness to server, lately it feels like my "puppy" is just along for the ride...but enough about me.

As far as being a new dom and books... I read a wide variety of both informational and fantasy books. I think a mix of both gave me many more ideas and options to think about and it was easier for me to pick things I liked that way. BUT The number one thing that helped was getting online and watching/reading information from other doms and subs. Asking questions and so on. I'm sorry I don't have actual book names for you. (If I think of specific ones I will get back to you!)

Just a few to look into. :) ALL great for just getting started, and learning more about herself, her wants/needs, her sexuality...so on. Good Luck and Kink ON! :D

Especially as a writer, I found that The Mistress Manual does a pretty good job of breaking down femdom. She goes through five archetypes of female dominants (or rather, male submission fantasies) and gives some good suggestions for activities that align with the different types.

Amazon offers paperback and kindle versions. I also read Female Domination: An exploration of Male desire for loving female authority by Elise sutton. It was also informative and shows insight from a lot of perspectives (she is/was also a bdsm therapist) which also came from Amazon.

Read lots of books.

And also communicate!

This might be a handy guide. You could probably find a free pdf though.

Here are a couple books I recommend:
