Die Wahl der Qual. Handbuch für Sadomasochisten und solche, die es werden wollen
September 2000 Ira Strübel, journalist and advertising copy writer, and Kathrin Passig, journalist and chair of BDSM Berlin e.V., release the book „Die Wahl der Qual. Handbuch für Sadomasochisten und solche, die es werden wollen„ („The Choice of Pain: A Handbook for Sadomasochists and Those Who Would Like to Be“). It features a look at the current state of SM research, interviews with SM practitioners, an introduction to the SM subculture and detailed information about SM on the Internet. Thanks to its humorous and comprehensible portrayals, the book is well received in the SM subculture. (Passig, Kathrin / Strübel, Ira: „Die Wahl der Qual.
