For those turned on by giving or receiving power, the hottest fantasies are often those that are the least acceptable — those that mirror historical oppression (Nazism, plantation slavery), crime (incest, ageplay, rape), and other "unacceptable" behaviors. Because these fantasies are deeply charged, they are among the riskiest and most challenging to enact. Yet it is possible, and often very rewarding, to do so. With sections on playing with sexual taboos such as age and rape, cultural taboos such as race and identity, and physical taboos such as scat play, this is a thorough and responsible guide to BDSM's furthest regions.

Toybag Guides are portable, 4x6" quick reference books containing at least as much information as you could get from a full day's workshop on the topic taught by one of the leaders in the scene. This guide is written by Mollena Williams, who has more than 12 years' experience in the BDSM and alternative lifestyle community. Williams has traveled across the nation speaking about race play and other taboo playstyles. Her essays on race play, owner/slave dynamics and other topics have been widely anthologized, and she is the co-author of Playing Well With Others.
