For many, the world of BDSM lies ever so slightly over the boundaries of taboo. Though the thought of dabbling in bondage, discipline or sadomasochism might tickle their fancy, many are held back by nerves or put off by the media's portrayal of fetishists as nothing but leather-clad perverts. Beginners' manual (and soon-to-be short film) Love Me Like You Hate Me, a collaboration between Swedish filmmaker Erika Lust and fetish model Venus O'Hara, aims both to answer any questions or fears that newcomers to BDSM might have about its lifestyles, and to dispel the myths and stereotypes surrounding them.

Barcelona-based Venus began her career in The Erotic Review, posing as the character of Tilly Johnson (if Nicole Kidman had been cast in Secretary, the result might look a bit like Tilly), and the multi-talented lady has since published two books, starred in a short film and set up her own photo-blog. Contrary to how the “vanilla world” might view it, BDSM is not all about pain, violence and degradation, and despite what you might see on Law & Order or CSI, its followers are not all warped, dangerous or damaged. The vast majority of BDSMers are just normal people, and as Venus explains, the key ingredients to their relationships are love, irony and humor – the same as for any other.

Available in five languages from Femme Fatale Books and filled with stunning photography, Love Me Like You Hate Me encourages readers to explore their sexuality in a fun, safe way, giving advice on what to wear, what toys to buy, how to tie your partner up and much more. With five hot confessions from experienced fetishists and in-depth discussion of punishment, dominance and master-slave relationships, this stylish book provides a valuable initiation to the exciting realms of fetish play, and even comes with a free pair of silk handcuffs to get you started.
