Others have turned to Janet W. Hardy's The Ethical Slut, The New Topping Book and The New Bottoming Book for advice on the most challenging questions of sex, polyamory, kink, and self-identity.

But Janet had to make it up as she went. How did she do it? Well, as you might expect from the co-author of Sex Disasters... and How to Survive Them, it hasn't all been roses (or thorns for that matter). 

Here, in Impervious: Confessions of a Semi-Retired Deviant, Janet takes you through the five twisty stages of her own kinky life — mirroring those of any good scene — negotiation, warmup, engagement, climax, and aftercare.

Delicious (and surprising) details await you inside. Bon Appétit!
