The Masochism Sextbook: A Little Pain Never Hurt Anyone.

The Masochism Sextbook aims to demystify, deconstruct and explore masochism in a relatable and expansive manner. As the second title in The Sextbook Initiative, it continues the objective of breaking down various elements of sexuality and fetishism into comprehensible and adaptable guides to understanding oneself. Masochism is often misunderstood, and often, even when it is practised, a lot of its nuance is left unexplored. Through this book, you can access an understanding of masochism that decolonises itself from the socio-medical roots of the term and phenomenon, classifying motivational systems to make it easier to understand the individual nature of your own masochism, information of how masochism interacts with emotion and trauma as well as practical aspects of the management of masochism such as negotiation, safety protocols and taking care of your body.
