LOS ANGELES — BDSM sexpert and Sanctuary LAX instructor Sir Ezra of House of Algos has announced the publication of "Mindfucking Mindfully: A Guide to Mental Manipulation for BDSM and Sadomasochism," described as "the first ethical guide to 'mindfucking' ever published."
"Intellectual dissection of the practice is accompanied by several first-hand accounts from Sir Ezra and other leaders in the field," a rep explained. The guide "stands to help the kink neophyte, the S&M veteran or those intersecting with BDSM. It covers the basics with a focus on safety, ethics and best practices. It also covers advanced techniques, the categorization of the various mechanisms as well as some examples of elaborate mindfucks."
"Lastly, a simple game is outlined and included to help people practice the mindfuck with each other in responsible ways," added the rep.
BDSM author and kink community educator Midori described "Mindfucking Mindfully" as "a humane book."
"Why is it humane? Because it tries very hard to address the gray area of desire," Midori noted. "This book shares all the sweet secrets that we mindfuckers have up our sleeves [and] gives several very useful tools to think about, discuss and use for understanding consent, fun and agency."
The guide will be available on Amazon as a paperback or audio book on Friday, May 21; pre-orders can also be placed here.
An exclusive book release party will be held at Sanctuary LAX Studios on May 21 from 8 p.m. to 1 a.m. (PDT). The guest list is limited to 25 persons with proof of full COVID vaccination. Tickets are $40; click here for details.
