Literature Search

So, as with any new skill or hobby, I like to read up on subjects. In this case, it's kink.
Mmmmmmm, Kink. Sorry, I get distracted.

Anyway, I was looking for resources for needle play. I found almost nothing online, and what I did find was rudimentary. I already have the book on Play Piercing by Deborah Addington. But it's not enough.

Don't get me wrong..... Play Piercing (ISBN:1-890159-68-9, Greenery Press)is a fine book. It's also, as far as I can tell, the only book on needle play out there. But I want more. More details on techinques, designs, patterns, needles. Data from actual science & research if it's out there.

OK. More of everything.

I'm told it's edge play, so I shouldn't be surprised about the lack of resources. I'm told there are classes. Maybe one a year I could make (and probably covering the basics). So, I guess there's two options left for me.

I could write the book I want to see. I don't have the overwhelming hubris to do that. Not yet anyway. I need to learn a lot more, talk to more people, and practice, practice, practice.

The other option is to go to the man himself. Fakir Musafar. He does classes..... intensive courses. Yes, it's more than needle play. But it's beautiful. It's painful. It's so much more.

So, until I can get that in my schedule, I'll practice... and talk... and practice some more. Look for scientific research. And think about a title for a book.
