Die Kunst der weiblichen Dominanz

Claudia Varrin, a professional dominatrix, wrote this book as a guide for couples in a monogamous relationship who wish to venture into the realm of sexual dominance and submission. Varrin's goal is to encourage and guide the inexperienced yet curious aspiring dominatrix. She combines practical tips with a fundamental psychological explanation of the mindset associated with this sexual practice. Varrin emphasizes that BDSM, as she teaches it, should take place within a loving partnership and can bring romance and excitement to a long-term relationship. She dispels many myths about BDSM relationships—that they are unbalanced and that one partner exerts power over the other. Varrin stresses that the power exchange always occurs with mutual consent, meaning that the partner taking on the submissive role does not have any less power.

This book examines the phenomenon of female dominance from all angles and discusses safety factors, erotic moments, psychological mechanisms, and the basics, such as tying knots and choosing the right punishment. The book starts with the rudimentary foundations. It is not a book for those experienced in this field but for absolute beginners who have no connection to the BDSM scene and wish to experiment within the comfort of their own home under professional guidance.

Varrin walks through potential scenarios from start to finish, considering all important aspects of such a love scene: from preparing the setting and choosing the right outfit to using fetishes and how to present oneself as a dominant woman while controlling the mood of the submissive male partner, ensuring that both are on the same wavelength during this play.

This book is very clear and explicit in tone, which seems appropriate for the subject matter. However, it is written with affection.
