The Posh Girl's Guide to Play ─ fantasy, role play and sensual bondage

The Posh Girl’s Guide to Play is the BDSM-curious reader’s best friend. In a charmingly conspiratorial voice, field expert Alexis Lass and her lover, Mr. H, lead readers into the romantic and wildly glamorous world of dominance and submission. Blending their his-and-her stories with practical, down-to-earth advice, Lass confides how to enter the world of fantasy, and enjoy the power and delights of role play?all while feeling safe and sensual. Along the way, she shares insider wisdom on the psychological aspect of this kind of intimacy, including:

Establishing trust between partners
The yoga-like benefits of submission and sensory deprivation
Exploring secret fantasies
Building erotic tension
Advancing the play (for the adventurous)

In The Posh Girl’s Guide to Play, the tantalizing adventure of fantasy exploration is demystified for the woman looking to discover another side of her sexuality without abandoning her feminist ideals. This is the perfect beginner’s guide to go from ?no way” to ?let’s play!”

Alexis Lass’s well-rounded education took place at the Spence School, the Kent School, Bard College, University of Bologna, and the American Academy of Dramatic Arts. She worked as a Certified Yoga Instructor and did some stage and television work in New York City before taking on a brief stint as a pro Dominatrix.

For five years, Lass owned and operated her own fetish film production company in Manhattan. Her film Infernali won Best Picture Award at the Traum Film Festival in Germany, and the trailer was in the winner’s circle for the best horror film trailer at the Paranoia Film Festival in Los Angeles.

In partnership with Penthouse Magazine, Lass ran fetish parties at Chris Noth’s Cutting Room lounge in Manhattan, earning a Page Six spread of party pics in the New York Post as well as live video coverage on its website. She was featured in Katie Roiphe’s essay collection, In Praise of Messy Lives, and in a story by Roiphe on Slate.com.

Lass categorizes herself as ?proper Bohemian,” resides on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, is active with animal rights groups, and volunteers with a cat rescue group.
