The New Topping Book by Easton & Hardy

Highlights

• Ethics-centered guide to BDSM topping from two of kink education's most respected voices
• Updated to reflect modern kink culture including online dynamics and evolving relationship structures
• Approachable for newcomers and useful for experienced tops looking to deepen their practice

If you're curious about taking on a top, dominant, or sensation-giving role in BDSM, this book is one of the best places to start. Written by Dossie Easton and Janet W. Hardy, the authors behind The Ethical Slut, The New Topping Book treats topping as a thoughtful, skilled practice rather than just a power trip. It's warm, grounded, and written for real people in real relationships.

The book walks through everything from negotiating scenes and reading your partner to managing risk and navigating the emotional weight that can come with being in a top role. Easton and Hardy are clear that good topping requires communication, care, and self-awareness as much as it requires technique. There's also meaningful attention to aftercare and what happens when things don't go as planned, which is the stuff a lot of kink resources skip over.

Educator's Note

This book uses inclusive, non-binary-friendly language throughout and is relevant for tops of all genders and orientations. It's a strong resource for anyone exploring power dynamics in the context of trauma-informed or consent-forward kink.
