  I'm delighted to live in an era where people feel increasingly able to explore and experiment with kinkiness, and ask intrigued questions - but for everyone's physical and emotional safety, it's vital that the answers come from responsible sources. Gigi Engle is an expert I trust 100% to look after all kink-curious humans, from their hearts to their intimate parts, their brains to their bruised bottoms and beyond! This book snaps on a pair of elbow-length latex gloves and delves deep, intelligently yet accessibly examining topics such as whether fetish practices can be used as a form of therapy; how neurodiversity might intersect with kinky hobbies; and how to enjoy imaginative role play without feeling like a fool or a fraud. If the thought of something supposedly taboo secretly makes you think "Oooh...", and you want a whip-smart, welcoming guide to kink that suits beginners but still goes beyond the basics, Kink Curious will polish your knowledge to a glossy, rubberised shine.
