The Deviant's Pocket Guide to the Outlandish Sexual Desires Barely Contained in Your Subconscious

I found this book to be highly entertaining yet informative. It gives a great easy to understand look at the world of kink. It's funny in parts but does not come across as flippant. All kinks are discussed with an understanding and zero judgement.

A fun read, very silly in style but I’m sure will appeal to many out there, entertaining enough

This book is very silly but I'd expect nothing less from the title. It's very informative and presents the information in a really easy to understand way.

I thought I was fairly well-informed in terms of sexual kink... but man is there a lot of weirdness alive in this world of ours. In the style of his other books, this is a highly entertaining - while also being very informative - look at various forms of sexual fetishes. Lots of dry humor, with no judgement being passed, which is remarkable in itself, under the circumstances.

This was a really interesting book! I am pretty sure I learned some things that I will never be able to forget.
It was a fun and quick read that had a surprising amount of information

This book is for you if… you are searching for something mildly amusing and informative. It does get a bit bland after a while. You might although in fact discover a weird fetish you feel inclined towards.

⤐Overall.
I was very undecided to whether or not wish for this book on NetGalley. After checking out some reviews on her I thought I might try it and I suppose it was decent enough. This book covers an interesting range of the weirdest fetishes out there. Everey fetish is devided into the sections "useful equipment", "scenario", "What is it","psychological background", "things to consider" and "on a note".

The writing style is down to earth and light, radiating humour and maybe a tad of mocker(?). I was wondering whether some people who feel inclined towards a fetish covered by this book were happy with the way they and their preferences are illustrated.

↠The book is structured as follows.
⤐ Introduction

⤐ PRETTY PAIN
⤐ BODIES, PARTS & FUNCTIONS
⤐ INANIMATE OBJECTS
⤐ FANTASYLAND
⤐ FLORA & FAUNA
⤐ COSTUMES & PLAY

This was an interesting read. Lol some of the desires were wild. The book was entertaining and a quick read. Thanks to Netgalley, the author and the publisher for the arc of this book in return for my honest review. Receiving the book in this manner had no bearing on this review.

"The Deviant's Pocket Guide to the Outlandish Sexual Desires Barely Contained in Your Subconscious" is exactly what you would think it is. Not bad writing.

This book is hilarious without being judgmental. If you think you've heard of every fetish and sexual practice, you definitely should take a look at this book and challenge the author to teach you something while making you laugh the entire time.

Even the part about clowns.

I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. Thank you NetGalley!

When I saw this and the others by Dennis DiClaudio, i honestly giggled to myself... And I knew right then and there I NEEDED these books.

I was not disappointed by any book he produced in this series.. seriously. the pocket guides are frigging amazing.. and they'd really be the perfect gift for your friends.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for providing this book in exchange for an honest review.
This little book is quite entertaining and yet informative. The wiring of the human mind is forever fascinating.

I found this book to be very entertaining and educational. While I am not one to kink shame anyone, it is so hard to believe that some of these are legitimate sexual turn-ons for some people but I guess that is why they are considered "deviant". This was a fun and cringe inducing read.

"If there's one thing you should carry away from this book, it's that one should never underestimate the human sexual appetite."

That's it! That's the book! Fully mindblown, extremely amusing, entertaining, genius and I was NOT ready for this book!

Recommended: Anyone can read this third book in the series. Just make sure you are ready for this.

I requested this book because I was truly interested in learning about different sexual desires and I was not disappointed one bit! This book was very informative but also had truly hysterical moments. I was highly impressed by the writing in how it was professionally written. They didn't make fun of the desire but explained how it came to be and why we feel this way.

Love the humor and the insight into some of these sexual desires that some people have, The humor mixed with the insight into each deviance makes for an kind and thoughtful look at each deviance.

Ive read all 3 of Dennis Diclaudios Pocket Guides. They are all entertaining and amusing. Not to be read if you are easily offended.

You will learn something from them all. They are quite short so easly to read though or just dip into occcasionally!

Thanks to Netgalley and Quatro Publishing for the ARC. My review is my own opinion.

This was definitely an eye-opener! I quite enjoyed the format and learning the trivia contained in this. It would make a great gift for someone who has everything and enjoys all sorts of strange information, though probably not good for your mother-in-law! I'm going to check out the other books by this author.

I love DiClaudio's pocket guides. They are a fun read, and I actually find them quite informative. I always learn something, along with having a good laugh. Some of the desires are almost unbelievable, but truth really is stranger than fiction. I recommend this for anyone looking for a light, fun read.

Thoroughly enjoyed this, although I suspect the people who are into cartoons are probably fuming at being lumped in with the furries!

Pick anything from this barely-safe-for-work book and someone would have issues with it. It snappily, unconvincingly (wow, the author has a BA!!) but enjoyably guides us through all the sexual peccadilloes, fetishes and f**ked-up desires people may want in their sex lives, ranging from a desire to be with amputees, for balloons, or to vomit. I soon skipped reading the introductory scene-setting yucks, before getting to the really yucky stuff of the serious parts from every entry, which include why someone may find this appealing, what concerns it should trigger, and so on. Warmly non-judgemental, and eminently readable (and quotable down the pub, if you have a certain kind of group of friends there), I think the biggest issue I have is that it comes from a publishing house I had always turned to for their children's books. This is NOT one of those. Strangely written as if the only possible reader is male, it loses a mark as a result but is still a success.

The Deviant's Pocket Guide to the Outlandish Sexual Desires Barely Contained in Your Subconscious by Dennis DiClaudio looks at forty of the most unusual sexual proclivities humanity has to offer. Each entry has a list of useful accoutrements, an example fantasy, an amusing look at what it is, the common psychological background behind the manifestation, and important considerations to think about before engaging in said proclivity. Thanks to knowing people into BDSM, some of these were familiar in passing, but most were entirely new and left me shaking my head. Some were entirely too hard for me to fathom. Highly recommended, both for humour value, and trivia value!
