This book is a quick read, but it is packed with so much useful information and is written in such a friendly tone that it makes the book not only educational, but enjoyable as well. There are a lot of great resources included at the end of the book for individuals who are wanting to learn more.
  
  This is a book that is well worth your time and money if you're wanting to learn more about the world of spanking.

  I enjoyed the subject matter but, holy Lord, this book is extremely repetitive. The appendices span nearly 40 pages in a 168-page book. Since the author exhausted the limitless possibilities of spanking (I get it, there's plenty of imaginative ways to get off), the appendices only inculcated the advice given in the first chapters, which can be helpful to some, but downright annoying and wasteful to others. Let it be known that you can learn a lot from reading this book. The resources page at the end is especially useful to neophyte kinksters. Caning receives a flattering commentary; the author admits that she is biased toward the pleasures of this particular "spanking implement," so the reader is given quite the introduction to different materials used to make canes and how to purchase/use them. Overall, the book is helpful to any spankophile, but it's clear after reading halfway through it that you can outright skip multiple sections without missing anything common sense would note (I think it's obvious you don't want to cause a person to bruise or leak plasma from their nether regions, but maybe that's just me).

  I was a sex educator between 1998 and 2003, running a nonprofit called Sexline Information. When I was running Sexline, I bought every single sex instruction book that I could find....because you know, reference! After I quit the sex ed business, I stopped buying sex instruction books and moved on to other interests. This is one of the first ones that I've bought in a decade or so. I love sex and I love getting spanked, so I'm the appropriate audience for Spanking for Lovers. Yay!
  
  The book was written in a conversational tone, overlaid with a veneer of smart-aleck. It was like being guided by your naughty, literate sophisticated aunt. This book is educational without being didactic. To my unexpected pleasure, I loved the scrawled side notes throughout the book; they worked well and added pertinent information. The chapters were well thought out, making it easy to search for a specific topic of interest. Need to find a nifty position for your new sweetie and you? Why, it's right under Positions!
  
  I would have appreciated an appendix....but then I would have also appreciated Library of Congress subject headings and a call number, so you might take that request with a grain of salt! The book did a great job addressing spanking different body types and levels of fitness and agility. I particularly liked the beautiful illustrations, however I would have liked to see more variety in body type and ages represented. We need a few more fat folks and older folks!
  
  This book is a fine addition to anyone's sex how-to-do-it-better library!

  I loved it!!! Written in beautifully haunting style with lovely personal comments in the margins. I recommend this book for beginners as well as for PRO-spankers. My favourite chapter was "tips, tricks and fun things to try" - very useful :)
