Summary:

"This book is a celebration of bottoms--of marvelous masochists and sensational submissives, of the naughtiest schoolboys and the sluttiest slaves, of those who love to grovel and scream and beg and come and come and come. This is an unabashedly bottom-centrist book. In it we will tell you over and over again that bottoms are beautiful, bottoms are powerful, bottoms are alchemists who magically transform suffering into sex, humiliation into desire, screams of pain into moans of pleasure. In this book, we will teach you to be a proud, fierce, redoubtable bottom--a bottom whose power is so profound that it attracts tops like pollen attracts bees. And the honey you and those tops make together will be the sweetest you've ever tasted."--page 1.
