"A detailed, eye-opening account of the real sexual underground in America . . . a thorough and serious study."--Playboy

From Different Loving:

In order to understand unusual sexualities such as dominance and submission, one first has to consider the question 'What is normal?' If the unique function of sex is reproductive--and the only reason men and women should engage in sex is for the purpose of creating a new life--then only heterosexual intercourse is normal. By this standard, many common acts, even contraception, must be considered aberrant. Reproductive relevance was the Victorian standard of normalcy, and even today many of the laws in the United States still abide by that model. But people have always pursued sex for both reproduction and for pleasure and well-being.

We start from the premise that sex for pleasure is a normal human drive and is acceptable when it brings pleasure to both partners. From this perspective, D&S is simply a 'different' kind of loving.

We hope to add to the greater body of knowledge about what people really do behind closed doors with the people they most love and trust. Perhaps Different Loving will help open the door for further research into the mystery, beauty, and complexity of human life and its diverse expressions.

Praise for Different Loving

"The definitive guide to the sexual styles of those who walk on the wild side."--Kirkus Reviews

"As a window on largely unexplored territory, Different Loving is a breakthrough in the dialogue on human sexuality, and a significant work of popular sociology."--South Bend Tribune

"A comprehensive primer on loving with leather and romance by riding crop."--Michael Musto, New York Daily News

The best for my 3 extreme chewers!!
Size: 9.75"
These are the only bones I buy!!! We have three extreme chewers, pitty, Great Dane, German Shepard, and they love these! They last for about 6 months or so before they get to small for my liking and I order more. That is amazing considering the "toughest" toys that are "indestructible" usually last three minutes max lol. I like that they are made of good ingredients and made in the USA, and they don't have any weird smells like some bones I've tried. They all go bananas when I get a new box in, definitely my only go to for extreme chewers!!

10/10!
Size: 6", Size: 6"
My dogs love the Boar BarkBone! I ordered a medium thinking it would still be pretty big, but it came in looking more like a small, hence the name of the "Boar" BarkBone. The Dino BarkBones seem to size up one and the Boar BarkBones size down one, so keep that in kind when getting one for your furry friend. Nevertheless, my two smaller dogs still enjoy chewing on this bone! It is easy for them to keep a hold of and easy to chew on. Like other Pet Qwerks bones we’ve gotten in the past, it does not smell to me, but the dogs seem to love the smell and it is everlasting throughout the entire life of the bone. It doesn’t ever break off in easy-to-swallow chunks and is actually pretty hard to break into. This bone is perfect for every dog, from light chewers to tough chewers, and is something I would recommend to anyone!

Great for super chewers
Size: 4"
This dog chew toy was much smaller than expected. With that being said, we have a pit-bulldog mix that’s a super chewer. When I gave this to him, I expected it’s destryction within a couple of days. It’s been over a month and although it shows wear and tear... he hasn’t destroyed it.

Labrador approved!!
This is Sherman, he's the youngest of our 3 labs. He's 16 mos old, 83 lbs and a super obsessive chewer. Chewed through half the spindles on our deck over the course of about 2 hours - That's when I ordered BarkBone. He has a nightly chew session before bed, as well as throughout the day anytime he gets bored. These things are amazing and stand up to out little buzzsaw!! With the addition of the 2 new ones received today, he has 7 or 8 BarkBones in different flavors. He trades off during a chew-a-thon. He "lost" all the other bones (the other 2 took them outside and buried them in the snow). Poor guy went out of his mind searching the house for a bone a couple nights ago, which is why I ordered more! Big guy was elated when UPS them today - on a Sunday!! He layed down for a chew immediately! My only complaint, I think they give him smelly, clear the room, gas! 🤢😵‍💫
