PAINFULLY OBVIOUS

PAINFULLY OBVIOUS
An Irreverent and Unauthorized Manual for Leather/SM
Robert Davolt

A collection of 40 essays by the former publisher and editor of Drummer magazine. The book has been praised for "stripping away some of the mystery of the leather/SM subculture with a sardonic scalpel." Chapters such as "Leather Relationships" and "Painfully Correct Leather Bar Etiquette" offer practical, "how-to" information - alongside scathing critiques such as, "In Leather We Are Family...But Then Again, So Were The Borgias." Davolt's gift is to be a voice of experience among leathermen. And now, with characteristic wit, style, and eloquence, he shares his perspective on a number of issues of relevance to the leather community.
