Vanilla Breaks is the autobiographical story of one man's journey into the BDSM lifestyle, written as a means to cope with the stress of having been thrust into BDSM at the deep end. In addition, it is intended to help other people who may find themselves or their partners in a similar situation, and to let them know that they are not alone. While this work details the author's emotional turmoil as a teenager, which later reignited when he discovered his wife was exploring kink with another man (and how he dealt with that revelation), it is also very explicit in describing BDSM play scenes and sexual encounters.
