My first introduction into WIITWD would have come in the form of bondage videos, without any power exchange. That was enough for me to know that I was turned on, but not necessarily educational. Once I began physically experiencing what we do, it was watching people scene at workshops and play parties. I then started reading books as well. Most of the popular 'scene' non-fiction as well as fiction books I've had for years. If there is something good that comes out new, I will give it a look as well. A lot I could learn through practical application on my own. Once I started collecting a huge variety of toys with different textures, widths, etc., it was common sense which type of 'thing' was going to create what type of result or reaction. I still have an interest in movies certainly from a historical perspective, as I still consider myself a student of BDSM. Many of the movies that were covered in the thread a couple of weeks ago I already have or hopefully will soon see. Learning from them, not necessarily an issue. That's not to say some aren't better than others. One thing that we do that one can gather insight from regular mainstream movies is in the case of a psychological thriller. To see how a headspace can be created (such as a mindfuck) and twisted. Hope this lends some perspective. Jeff
