Whips and Kisses recounts the evolution of Alice -- middle class girl from the Bronx, classic overachiever, and lifelong submissive -- into "Mistress Jacqueline", benevolent bitch-goddess, whose beauty and sensitivity have made her the most sought after dominatrix on the West Coast. This very personal exploration of the fantasies that populate the underworld of sexual desire will shatter preconceived notions that S & M is based on perversion and pain; Jacqueline argues that the act is founded on consensuality and mutual agreement, a "bond" lacking in such truly perverse sexual encounters as rape and other forms of sexual abuse. Whips and Kisses is a startling expose of unspeakable acts that nonetheless bring participants both sexual release and psychic tranquillity, a candid portrayal of sexual role-playing that delves deeply into motivations and consequences, and a surprising account of self-knowledge and self-acceptance gained through practice of the most paradoxical sexual contract of all.
