Greetings to my fellow kinksters. My name is Synn Tryst and I will be bringing you reviews of not only non-fiction books but fiction as well with a BDSM or kink theme to them. Being a writer and having a voracious reading habit, I’ve always got a book in my hand, when the hands are

Since birth, I have been one of the universe’s pickiest eaters. There was a point in time as a young child when I really went over the top, and for months, the only thing I would eat was cereal – the sugary kind. My mother tried to lure me away from cereal by offering grilled

I’m a newbie to kink, but I’ve had many experiences even before my foray into the kink world that have helped to shape me into the person I am today.

My first Christmas with a BDSM partner is just around the corner, and I can’t help but wonder what to expect.

“You may not be as monogamous as you think.” It was the middle of May 2012 when those words popped up in my Gchat window, typed by the man who was soon to become my “Professor” and Dom. Although I had once considered dabbling in non-monogamy (which is really just one facet of kink) with

Welcome to Freshman Orientation Month! I want to take this opportunity to talk about something that has been at the forefront of a lot of my therapeutic work recently…expectations. We all have them. Expectations can be a real trouble spot for newcomers. Hopefully you’ll get some ideas that may help you avoid some of them!
