The New Topping Book by Dossie Easton and Janet W Hardy

The New Topping Book by Dossie Easton and Janet W Hardy is a foundational guide for anyone interested in the emotional, ethical, and practical skills of BDSM topping. Building on the success of the original Topping Book, this updated second edition expands the conversation to address the evolving realities of power exchange relationships with clarity, warmth, and insight.

Written by renowned authors Dossie Easton and Janet W. Hardy, this book blends experience-based guidance with humor and compassion. Tens of thousands of readers learned core topping principles from the first edition, and this revised volume takes things further by exploring modern topics such as online domination, long-term lifestyle relationships, communication, and safety for both tops and partners.

Rather than focusing solely on techniques, The New Topping Book emphasizes responsibility, consent, self-awareness, and ethical leadership in power dynamics. It helps readers understand how to negotiate boundaries, manage emotional intensity, and maintain trust—skills that are just as important as physical technique. The authors also address the rewards and challenges of topping over time, making this an invaluable resource for both newcomers and experienced practitioners.

Published by Greenery Press, this paperback edition is written in clear, approachable language and is suitable for personal study, couples, and community education.
