About this listen

One of Glamour’s Best Books of 2020

Popular podcast host and personal finance expert Lindsay Goldwert explores what professional dominatrixes can teach us about confidence, power, and happiness.

Imagine, for a moment, a world where the usual power dynamic is turned on its head. Where women not only stop apologizing, but seize - and enjoy - control. This is the quickly mainstreaming world of BDSM (bondage, discipline, sadism, masochism) - and it has a lot to teach women about empowerment, negotiation, open-mindedness, and more. Journalist Lindsay Goldwert, intrigued by this seismic cultural shift, traveled across the United States to meet the stars of the subculture, who spoke frankly with her about their lives and work.

In “lively, funny, thoughtful channeling of wisdom” (Sara Benincasa, author of Real Artists Have Day Jobs), these Alpha women show you how you can reset the power dynamic in any situation to get what you want - whether it’s from a husband, a boss, or partner. They share strategies for revolutionizing not only your sex life, but your career, your relationships, and most importantly, your inner foundations.

With bondage gear popping up on the big screen, the runway, the red carpet, and in celebrity lingerie lines, BDSM is officially moving out of the dungeon and into the sun. Let Bow Down help you learn how to use it.

“Whether your fantasies lie in the bedroom or the boardroom, Lindsay will give you the courage to go forth and dominate.” (Sarah Cooper, author of How to Be Successful Without Hurting Men’s Feelings).

Loved it!

The book was packed with useful information for a sexually shy wife, I enjoyed dominance in our relationship before but it helped me to understand more deep meaning.

AMAZING INSPIRATIONAL BEAUTIFULLY CRAFTED BOOK

I loved the humor, honesty, strength, spirit, heart and intention of this book!! The narrator was perfect!! I am buying copies for a three of my girls, because I want them to see themselves stronger and more worthy than I have seen myself. The author really touched upon perspectives that are so true for me, and I truly appreciate her courage to write this book. I will listen to it on Audible again and again!! In fact, I am cuing it up again, as soon as I finish this review! I cannot recommend this book enough... Now, I have to put some of the lessons into action for myself... starting with creating a “Code of Ethics and Conduct’ for myself, and those in my life... Enjoy!!

For WoMan

Supposedly written for women, I think an honest man who might enjoy submission can benefit from this book. The last chapter; lessons along with the epilogue, explains that empathy, respect, and open honesty are mandatory. A wife who wants more, without taking it by strategic force, is not a Domina, Dominatrix, or wife. She is not powerful because power is, as this author states, a power dynamic, a shift, consensual, and grace. The other is a thief and only weakened by her lack of courage and trust. Women need to trust men, and men can trust women if they trust each other.
