G is for Domestic Discipline Guide #SpankA2Z
Today the G for Guide is referring to my book Taken in Hand: A Guide to Domestic Discipline, Power Exchange, and Related BDSM Topics. It is a guide to help those seeking to establish a domestic discipline relationship that includes spanking and the various D/s relationships that are part of BDSM.
Beginning a dominant and submissive or domestic discipline relationship that involves disciplining your partner and taking or giving up control to one person can be scary, and any relationship can have pitfalls. It’s easier when you know what to look for as well as knowing that others struggle too. The book covers creating rules, routines, reasonable punishments and when to punish, as well as how this type of relationship can help create a powerful bond between two people.
Jolynn Raymond has written a book that shares the details of her own long lasting domestic discipline marriage and her experience surrounding power exchange relationships. It explains why these unconventional relationships work so well for so many couples. The book is an in-depth tutorial that takes the relationship past the simple act of discipline, to building a rock solid foundation that will ultimately create a deep bond of trust and love between those involved.
Taken In Hand will guide those interested in adding consensual domestic discipline, dominance and submission, and structure to their own relationship through the initial steps of communication, understanding and discovering both partner’s needs, creating mutual and realistic expectations, rules, and consequences, to the inevitable first spanking.
Taken In Hand will prove useful to those just starting out, as well as to those with some experience, as Ms. Raymond outlines the pitfalls, difficulties, and successes she has encountered in her own marriage. She also emphasizes the importance of consent, and pays special attention to the fine line between discipline and abuse.
The last part of the book examines the styles and types of spanking, gives an anal sex tutorial, talks about the responsibilities or being a dominant and gives tips for the submissive partner. Whether you need insight into BDSM as it relates to relationships or are trying to build a domestic discipline marriage from scratch, Taken In Hand will prove to be a comprehensive and practical guide.
Pop on over to the rest of the folks on the hop.

Jolynn,
Personally, in any meaningful relationship that “… inevitable first spanking” would be my goal, even if I had to ask for it, preferably on the first day, and even if that means my willful manipulation of events to precipitate it.
I’m sorry if that seems wrong or bad.
In my current relationship, I have to ask for it, but you know, I wouldn’t change a thing.
I purchased your book. There’s much for me to learn.
Thank you.
Thank you for the wonderful recommendation Trent. It is much appreciated.
Outstanding book. I highly recommend even for experienced D/s or DD peeps — there’s always more to learn.
