"A detailed, eye-opening account of the real sexual underground in America . . . a thorough and serious study."--Playboy

From Different Loving:

In order to understand unusual sexualities such as dominance and submission, one first has to consider the question 'What is normal?' If the unique function of sex is reproductive--and the only reason men and women should engage in sex is for the purpose of creating a new life--then only heterosexual intercourse is normal. By this standard, many common acts, even contraception, must be considered aberrant. Reproductive relevance was the Victorian standard of normalcy, and even today many of the laws in the United States still abide by that model. But people have always pursued sex for both reproduction and for pleasure and well-being.

We start from the premise that sex for pleasure is a normal human drive and is acceptable when it brings pleasure to both partners. From this perspective, D&S is simply a 'different' kind of loving.

We hope to add to the greater body of knowledge about what people really do behind closed doors with the people they most love and trust. Perhaps Different Loving will help open the door for further research into the mystery, beauty, and complexity of human life and its diverse expressions.

Praise for Different Loving

"The definitive guide to the sexual styles of those who walk on the wild side."--Kirkus Reviews

"As a window on largely unexplored territory, Different Loving is a breakthrough in the dialogue on human sexuality, and a significant work of popular sociology."--South Bend Tribune

"A comprehensive primer on loving with leather and romance by riding crop."--Michael Musto, New York Daily News

Great quality, we could've sized up.
Size: X-Large, Color: Black, Size: X-Large, Color: Black
This suit was absolutely stunning! My son looked amazing in it for homecoming. With him being 6'4", the length was perfect, but it was a but too snug in his thighs, as he is a muscular athlete, and he was a bit worried sitting down in it!😂 Nonetheless, it held up well for my huge Samoan baby, and he got many compliments on it. We also found a bow tie to match it perfectly with the same pattern.

Jackets made too small and too tight
Size: X-Large, Color: Black
My son is 6'2" & 185 lbs and normally wears a 36 in pants. Site recommends a large, but I ordered an xxl based off the reviews. It was way too big in pants and jacket! I then ordered the large and the xl to be on the safe side because prom was fastly approaching. The large was too small! The xl was okay, but not perfect. Somehow it seems they need a suit size in between the xl and xxl, leading me to think they were just sewn wrong. The pants were extra long (good thing for us), they had to be hemmed. He did need a belt, but not by much. He was able to bend and sit with the pants on. The jacket however still runs small in my opinion. It is too tight in the arms, making it difficult to move. It is also on the short side in sleeves and length. It definitely shows when raising your arms. We chose this suit because we THOUGHT it was the pattern of his date's prom dress; turns out it wasn't. But it matched the vest we bought perfectly. This suit is made of a thin silky material and it runs small. And the pockets ARE useable. You just need to find the starter hole and remove the thread (if closed). I would recommend buying a different suit unless you order it bigger and have the time and money to alter it. Oh, and it will take a while to get a refund. Suits ship to you fast, but goes back slow. You gotta wait til the company receive the item, then still wait for the refund.

Boys Formal suit
Size: 10 Years, Color: Champagne, Size: 10 Years, Color: Champagne
This formal suit is perfect for weddings, or any formal function. It is true to size. The pants run a little long. The material is shiny. The suit is worth the money, and actually looks like it cost more than what it did. There is not adjustable waist. You have to wear a belt with it. This outfit will make you feel rich in spirit. My son was so adorable in this outfit.
