The Deviant’s Pocket Guide to the Outlandish Sexual Desires Barely Contained in Your Subconscious by Dennis DiClaudio

The Deviant’s Pocket Guide to the Outlandish Sexual Desires Barely Contained in Your Subconscious by Dennis DiClaudio looks at forty of the most unusual sexual proclivities humanity has to offer. Each entry has a list of useful accoutrements, an example fantasy, an amusing look at what it is, the common psychological background behind the manifestation, and important considerations to think about before engaging in said proclivity. Thanks to knowing people into BDSM, some of these were familiar in passing, but most were entirely new and left me shaking my head. Some were entirely too hard for me to fathom. Highly recommended, both for humour value, and trivia value!
