Female Domination
Elise Sutton
Elise Sutton takes the reader by the hand and leads her and him to explore this alternative lifestyle with intelligence and grace. She does not smack the reader across the face with her controversial philosophy but instead she builds a solid foundation of scientific evidence with a strong blend of popular culture to set the reader at ease while also piquing the reader's curiosity to venture deeper into this subject.

The author does a good job at attempting to explain the sociological reasons for the growing popularity of female domination in modern day America. There are chapters in this book that could be used in any feminist theology or woman's study course. But what sets this book a part from your ordinary feminist tome are the sexual topics.

Ms. Sutton interviews individuals and couples who practice this alternative sexual lifestyle and the reader is taken into a world where women dominate men through the exercise of many sexual techniques and practices that are outside the mainstream of sexual normalcy. Yet at no time did I ever think of these people as perverted. The gist of this book is how a harmonious and loving relationship can be achieved when women dominate men sexually.


The FemDom Experience
Elise Sutton
The value of Elise Sutton's newest book resides in its ability to probe and explore an often misunderstood expression of human sexuality. Men who believe in female domination find liberation in submission. Sutton reveals the difference between the male fantasy of female domination and a realistic lifestyle of submitting to the female gender.

"The FemDom Experience" is separated into three sections; the professional experience where a man submits to a Dominatrix; the relationship experience where a man submits to his wife or significant other; and the group experience where a man submits to an assemblage of women in a club or organization. The summation of the three sections is an absorbing journey into the real world of female domination as it is practiced in the United States and Europe.


Venus on Top
Women Who Are Born to Lead and the Men Who Love Them
Christina Abernathy
Ms. Abernathy describes her experiences with three failed marriages and her conclusions about how women who want to lead at work and at home can find compatible males who will enjoy that kind of relationship. She also provides advice for those who are willing to be a woman who follows her husband's lead . . . but the primary value of this book comes for those who want to know how to get what they want . . . and know what that is.

Much of the book is based on Jung, studies of ancient goddess-based religions, positive thinking and self-help methods. If you are familiar with those subjects, you won't find anything new in those sections. If you would like to learn a little in those areas, the material is accessible.


The Art Of Sensual Female Dominance
Claudia Varrin
Ms. Claudia Varrin's work is written in a friendly, breezy style and her tone (which is not arrogant, self congradulatory or egostical) will appeal to the most curious vanilla lady or man looking to explore this part of their psyche. Additionally, a little attitude is a good thing if one wishes to properly enact the roles described within. The audience here is the sexually adventurous women, this book will also help the male submissive to articulate his desires to be his would-be mistress.

Claudia gives instruction that is open for expanding on. She does not set limits but rather guides. Her insights are also helpful in everyday life: for instance why do so many men stay in relationships with women who are absolutely hateful, demanding and humiliating to them? Why would a strong powerful businessman pay a woman to demean him sexually? Who has the real power in these relationships?


Female Dominance Rituals and Practices
Claudia Varrin
Ms. Claudia Varrin's work is an extension from her previous work "The Art of Sensual Female Dominance". It is a very instructional work, and chocked full of techniques to try out presented with honesty and humor throughout. The work is meant to encourage assurance and confidence.

Ms Varrin presents SM activities in such a way that her enjoyment and pleasure simply ooze from the pages. Great ideas and methods, great information and a real look inside the FemDom mindset.


My Private Life
Mistress Nan
This book is a great peak in to some aspects of the BDSM world of one Mistress. It shows her journey in a way that most books miss. Ms Nan is a woman who has experienced what she has written about. It is NOT fantasy. She has honed her skills to a point that she is an expert at the exchange of power that is paramount to a BDSM scene. This book isn't all about pain or bondage. This book isn't all about fantasies. This book is about power, control and sensuality.


The Sexually Dominant Woman
Lady Green
For all those ladies who have wanted to delve into dominance, this work by LAdy Green is an excellent place to start understanding the headspace behind it. The book will assist you in mapping out what female dominants are,do and how to begin. Highly suggested for those just starting out. well written and illustrated with wonderful cartoons along the way.

This was a wonderful book for the curious beginner. It was written in a very clear and open style, defining terms as it went along. The author was careful to explain drawbacks as well as benefits of different types of dominant/submissive play, and gave many safety tips as she went along. Many suggestions for further reading were also given. The book is best for the beginner to BDSM, and works well for both dominant and submissive as a reference. For more experienced players, the safety reminders would be most useful.


The Natural Superiority of Women
Ashley Montagu
Ironically, the seminal work in the feminist movement was written by a man. "The Natural Superiority of Women", by noted anthropologist Ashley Montagu, was first published in 1952. It was serialized in the pages of the Saturday Evening Post, leading to the formation of the National Organization of Women in 1966. Earlier this year, the author completely revised and updated the book to take recent studies into account. Remarkably, the structure of his argument remains largely intact--only the details have changed.

The central question of the book is: which sex is superior, from an anthropological perspective? Well that, of course, depends on what you mean by 'superior'. Montagu offers this definition: "Superiority in any trait, whether biological or social, is measured by the extent to which that trait confers survival benefits upon the person and the group." With this benchmark in place, he then goes about showing how women excel in a wide variety of domains: intelligence, physical and emotional health, sensory perception, sociability, and longevity, to name only a few.

However you will find many people who state that while this book is well written, Montagu's conclusions are flawed and should not be taken at face value.
