Prior research on sex work has focused primarily on prostitutes and most studies of BDSM absorb pro-domme\/client relationships without exploring what makes them unique. Lindemann satisfies our curiosity about these paid encounters, shining a light on one of the most secretive and least understood of personal relationships and unthreading a heretofore unexamined patch of our social tapestry. Upending the idea that these erotic laborers engage in simple exchanges and revealing the therapeutic and analytic nature of their work, Lindemann makes a major contribution to cultural studies, anthropology, and queer studies with her analysis of how gender, power, sexuality, and hierarchy shape all of our social experiences.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51677822386464,"sku":"NEW0226482588","price":38.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/51oxWq3TPfL.jpg?v=1779297029","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/dominatrix-gender-eroticism-and-control-in-the-dungeon-0226482588","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
