One person's erotic stimulation is another person's excuse to say, "I'm outta here." A study of neurological cycles, imprinting, and primal needs shows how people form their own unique recipes for love. Hardly any garment or activity escapes Brenda Love's encyclopedia. Writing exhaustively and without bias, Love has created a reference source for those intrigued with the full range of human sexual expression. To enrich the content of more than 750 entries, she has consulted with or quoted from, wherever possible, the practitioners.
Readers learn about such "practices" as concubinage, mock marriages, power tools (including a list of those suitable for sex games), sadism, and suturing. The entries, along with 150 original illustrations, are certain to expand both your consciousness and your vocabulary: you will learn about flatuphiles, fornicatory dolls, and frottage, plus infibulation (surgical closure of the labia) and inunction (using lotion for arousal). In this entertaining guide through sexual facts and fancies, Brenda Love--licensed pilot, skydiver, and columnist--writes: "It is the aim of the encyclopedia to provide objective information about how human beings behave; where you draw the line must be your own informed choice."

AMAZING! But not for the faint of heart! lol.......2007-07-14
You have to get this book! Especially if you're in any kind of adult business! You'd be amazed at what you'll find within! My friends love to pick it up and open to a random page. lol. It has brought me lots of laughs and fun and education!
Not what it sounds like........2004-10-05
This book should be called a listing of unusual sex practices.Its not a "how to" book for those who want to broaden their bedroom ativities.
Having said that,the book does detail the unusual sex practises from around the world.It's an interesting book.
There are illustrations but very few.Overall:average.
If you're curious this book will be of interest.
Answered all questions and then some..........2003-12-02
Love (appropriately named) and Mavrides did an excellent job compiling this handy little coffee table book. I bought this while on vacation and my husband and I were intensely aroused with some of the obscure methods of sexual pleasure that were noted in this book. If you are the least bit interested in things that are "different," then I would highly recommend this gem!
A Dictionary of Kinks for Nillas and Kinksters Alike!.......2002-03-18
I "stumbled" over the on-line version of this book and just had to have it. I am the FemDomme Founder and Creator of some great FemDomme on-line clubs and have a weekly fetish discussion topic. After coming up with a year's plus topics, I was wanting to "dig a little deeper" and get some more ideas. This is a fantastic book. If you are conservative, this book will make you feel even more "normal", but you will certainly be better informed. If you are an "alternative lifestyler", you'll feel like whatever you're into still isn't the absolutely gamut of kinky!! Even I went EEEUUUUWWW a couple of times and I've been a FemDomme for over 16 years!! It has obviously been researched extensively, is written in a technical vein with a kink-friendly slant, and emphasizes all of the safety issues. Perhaps a better title might have been "Dictionary", than "Encyclopedia", however it is well worth the money and much cheaper than buying access to it on-line for two months.
Not quite Encyclopedia caliber.......2002-02-24
When I think "encylopedia" I think entire sets or series of books. This is more like a dictionary of sexual practices. There is an attempt to provide context, historical and contemporary, but not always as fully or as clearly as you might like. Why is it "unusual"? Because a wide range of sexual activities and interests are covered that may not be strange to you or in your society but which could be rare or taboo for others. There is a good index so you can find things fairly easily and it is fun to read. Overall you come away knowing that the weird thing you did last night, really isn't all that weird.

Book Description
The morning-after pill. Condom distribution in the schools. The Pill. Roe v. Wade. Few issues are as divisive in contemporary society as birth control. Men and women continue to battle over the legality and morality of a woman’s ability to control when to have children. Few matters have altered society and culture so profoundly in recent years as the new contraceptive options available to women developed by scientists and birth control advocates.

Product Description
Prior to the 1973 United States Supreme Court decision in Roe v. Wade, which legalized abortion in the nation, the issue of abortion was not a headline news item. The decision in Roe dramatically altered this situation and made the controversial issue one of the most explosive confronting the United States. This encyclopedia traces the history of abortion from the founding of the nation to the present day. Arranged alphabetically, the entries address the political, legal, social, religious and medical issues associated with abortion. Included are entries that summarize every opinion rendered by the United States Supreme Court on the issue of abortion up to the year 2002, the majority of abortion laws in each state and many of the thousands of abortion organizations that have developed since 1973. Abortion violence and demonstrations, and the laws designed to combat such protests, embryonic cloning, embryo/fetal stem cell research, assisted reproductive technology, and surrogacy, major birth defects and sexual diseases that impact the abortion decision are examples of topics that are covered.

Book Description
"Reproductive rights" refers to a range of claims concerning whether, when and how to have children. Beneath this clear statement lays the most contentious political, legal, and cultural issue in America today. Involving the self, the family, and the State, women's reproductive rights generates much impassioned argument but painfully little agreement. Topics and authors take on diverse and often clashing positions, highlighting this issue's complex and highly charged nature. Arranged alphabetically by topic, articles representing racial and ethnic groups' experiences figure prominently, as do the effects of age, class, education, health, religion, and sexual preference on childbearing and -rearing practices, in and out of wedlock. It also includes articles on laws, court cases, political attitudes, prominent activists, and technological advances as they relate to reproductive rights. Entries are written by highly regarded scholars, are cross-referenced, and conclude with suggested further readings. Designed to introduce and inform the reader to this extremely difficult topic, Baer's ecumenical approach exposes us to a variety of opinions from support for current abortion policies to the building movement for fetal rights. Only reasoned opinions supported by hard evidence are included, and no attempt was made to mute the often incommensurable opinions expressed within. This book will be a valuable resources for students, scholars, and any person interested in learning about the multiplicity of perspectives on this important issue that is at the heart of our current culture wars.

Product Description
This is a NAVAL POSTGRADUATE SCHOOL MONTEREY CA report procured by the Pentagon and made available for public release. It has been reproduced in the best form available to the Pentagon. It is not spiral-bound, but rather assembled with Velobinding in a soft, white linen cover. The Storming Media report number is A511953. The abstract provided by the Pentagon follows: This thesis evaluates the current Unite States Navy (USN) Contract Logistics Support (CLS) arrangement on the T - 45TS program and compares it to commercial best practices. The objective was accomplished by evaluating the existing system and using technical functional and operational analyses to determine the feasibility of improving USN practice in contract methodology and language for future CLS implementations in general and on the T - 45TS program in particular. Using archival research, interviews, and site visits, this study identifies the current system and state of the art commercial best practices in service contracts and contracting/quality control oversight applicable to USN CLS implementation. Broad findings include: competitively bidding a contract without owning the engineering data rights may be costly in the long run; that infusion of best commercial practices and international quality standards vice strict compliance with government practices provides an opportunity to decrease life cycle costs through reduced oversight and state of the art management techniques and processes. Further findings and recommendations on specifically improving the T - 45TS program are included in the areas of; Improving Contract Practices Personnel Qualifications, and Training.
