Power In Practice

It’s official, Flagg’s book “The Forked Tongue” is now available for purchase. Here is part of the text from the rear dust jacket.

“This book is not comforting; it does not reassure. It does not teach anything a decent person needs to know. It is a book about BDSM, but it will teach you nothing about tying knots, swinging floggers or spanking. It does not comfort, it does not attempt to reach the vanilla public.

This book addresses control, it addresses change. The recreational uses of humiliation, conditioning, psychological torture, hypnotism and interrogation techniques are explored and laid bare, broken into usable steps and understandable, applicable concepts. It is a workshop of ruin, the tools necessary to cement lasting alteration and unforgettable experiences for those few who truly crave them.” – Flagg, The Forked Tongue

I am really proud of how the whole project worked out. Lot’s of folks helped bunches (I’ll leave specific thanks for Flagg to make at a later date) and while this is the first publication by Power In Practice… it certainly will not be the last.

If you are coming to TES Fest we will have copies there available for signing by the author. If you can’t make it then go ahead and order one online.

Thanks again to everyone!

TesFest 2008 is coming July 4th weekend! We want you to come. If you volunteer for 12 hours you can get in free!

You’ve all waited so patiently! Here’s a new episode with Soulhuntre, Flagg, and Daddy David discussing Daddy Archtypes. As we mention in the cast, we are recording with our new Zoom H2! These baby’s are great sound quality…but that being said…it picks up everything. But we feel a little background noise (while I helped Flagg out at his apartment) is worth it for the awesome discussion and quality! Enjoy!

From The Forked Tongue:

“This is not a 101 or “BDSM for everyone”. Actually, this is not really for anyone.

Most of the things that are in this book I cannot sanction anyone doing to anyone else. Except, of course, that we do, and we will, and we want to. So here are tools to do them well, to do them ethically, and to enact your own, terrible sacraments. We seek to ascend, so we descend.

I called this book a mixed message, a perverse architecture, and so it is. The keystone of this edifice is inscribed with the heart of all these chapters, these words cut at cross-purpose:

 “Here is something you should never do to anyone.
And here is exactly how to do it to someone you care about.”
(back cover text)

Available as of TES Fest, July 4, and through online book retail

Flagg, Daddy David, and Soulhuntre get together and discuss their thoughts on a blog entry they find on the net regarding the “Actualized Master”.

As always, comments are welcome. Email, comment here or call in to 201.830.1586 to leave your thoughts.
