Mistress Steele at the Chamber has given us permission to use articles from her site as long as we complete the post with credit being given to her and a link to the site should be provided in the post.
Due to the number of new comers of late, i thought this thread needed a bump. If anyone would like to add new links they've found helpful (not originally posted here) for beginners in BDSM, please feel free to post it here.
The Fetish Exchange website has lots of articles, how to's, etc. on topics of a BDSM nature. You can view the articles without joining the site.
A safe and enjoyable journey to those venturing into BDSM. If you are looking for specific information not covered by the links in this thread, please take a look at our BDSM Library and you might find threads which address your questions.
