Many people are first introduced to the concept of BDSM, kinks and fetishes through films, television or social media. This often leads people to having a skewed understanding of the lifestyle, BDSM community and BDSM practices. Within this book you will find an alphabetically listed outline of BDSM, kinks, paraphilias, fetishes, the importance of consent, communication and safe words as well as a list of the most common kinks and fetishes. Some of the kinks and fetishes in this book are considered to be taboo, and may even be illegal in some countries. I am not promoting any of the kinks or fetishes within this book, but rather I am attempting to list them in a concise manner to give an understanding and explanation of the breadth of BDSM.
