Unlike writings on and for lesbian, gay, or bisexual practices however, BDSM continues to be largely illegitimate as a topic for serious discussion of sexual technique, psychological impact -even safety- despite a significant established need and growing acceptance of these practices among younger generations. I wanted to critique this book specifically because BDSM, like other sexual minorities, is not often spoken of or written about positively for those interested in learning more about its practice or theory when Wiseman’s book was published in its first edition in 1992, it was “the most comprehensive discussion of this information at the time” (pg. My critique includes consideration of how Wiseman has set up his book, the weaknesses and strengths in his discussion of BDSM practices, techniques, safety, and psychosocial effects, as well as how I as a sex therapist could utilize the text in counseling. Jay Wiseman’s book SM 101, A Realistic Introduction offers a down-to-earth, funny, and straight-forward discourse on how to safely and joyously practice bondage/discipline, domination/submission, and sadomasochism.
