Follow-up to Brame's best-selling, highly acclaimed ground-breaker, Different Loving, the authors revisited 20 original (1993) interviewees in the first long-term (20 years plus) study of the lives of people who identify as BDSMers and fetishists. Personal narratives and insights into contemporary BDSM research woven together recount stories of persistence and authentic personal happiness.
The long-awaited sequel to 1993's Different Loving, the book that introduced BDSM to the mainstream, Different Loving Too takes a deep dive into the secret world of BDSM and how it has changed in the 21st century. Often emotional, always intimate, people who told their stories back then have come back to bare their souls – sharing highlights, low points, lessons learned and their secrets to successful BDSM relationships. Intriguing anecdotes, in-depth interviews and Community Dialogues are skillfully stitched together with Dr. Brame's well-known insight and renowned sexological scholarship. Readers new to BDSM will find this a bracingly honest look at a still taboo subject. Experienced BDSMers will be amazed at the Scene luminaries they recognize and the true history they reveal.
