Summary: Even worse than the original
Review: Gee. Just what we all need, a sex guide from a guy who has raked in to dough by repeating over and over that men and women are different. There is absoultely NOTHING in this book that will be news to anybody who has ever made an effort at openess and honesty. That anyone would need a book like this from such a monumental ego is downright scary.

Summary: Gray Should Take Biology 101...are there minus points?
Review: Gray must know nothing about the tremedous sexual capacity of women.He needs to take a few lessons in female anatomy before he can write such an insulting,mysogamous text. The message is 'women need to be romanced,loved, swayed,talked into sex' while men are viewed as the 'natural aggressors and instigators of sexual relations and have a hydrogen bomb explosive sex drive at all times...wrong! 1..wrong! WRONG! "Dr." Gray!

Summary: Hard to put down!
Review: Great book! It's easy to get into a routine after 20 years of marriage! Pick this book up and all those feelings you had for your spouse when you were newly married return! Be prepared for a lot of 'couple' time after reading the book. It does point out the basic differences between men and woman and why we can't change them (no matter how much we try). My eyes were opened when many examples in the book were the exact same thing I was saying to my husband. You put the book down knowing that you are not alone in your feelings that you aren't being taken seriously, listened to, etc. The books gives you tips and guides you on the right path. I would highly recommend this book for every bride and groom-to-be!

Summary: gray is old hat
Review: I cannot believe what Gray thinks about women.It's insulting
and sterotyical.How would he know,how would anyone know what
every woman and every man is thinking or wanting anyway!
Women are crockpots and men are blow torches he says.He never
gets to the truth of why this sometimes is so - it's called
socialisation.Socialisation influences us so much,we don't
sometimes know it's happening because it's so planted in our
minds.
Read Rudov,I just got done with his book and he has ideas which
will end all of your relationship problems.Some might be
shocked by his revolutionary and courageous ideas but sometimes
one has to be shocked into a new way of thinking in order to
change for the better.

Summary: WISE ADVICE FROM A VERY WISE MAN!
Review: I cannot count the times I have referred this wonderful book to clients in search of self-help material. The information learned from Gray, an extremely well qualified man I might add, provides not only insight into relationships but insight into one's self and sense of being. In this book Gray gives the reader a much clearer understanding of what male and female partners need from a sexual relationship, why they differ, why they feel as they do, and how to satisfy each other's emotional and physical needs in ways that will strengthen the bond of intimacy. By doing so, one builds the foundation for a strong and solid relationship (in and out of the bedroom,) a relationship based on mutual love, trust, understanding, and honest and open communication. The one aspect of Gray's books that always appeals to me, and many other readers, is the professional, open and frank manner he uses to earn trust and exhibit warmth. He writes in a straight-forward professional manner without being condescending or patronizing, while at the same time holding the reader's attention with his words of wisdom. His books have been sold by the millions around the world, in 40 languages. That, in itself, attests to the validity of his literary and professional ability. This book is one I highly recommend to any individual regardless of whether or not you are currently in an intimate relationship; you never know what tomorrow may bring! Whether you are 20 or 80 - yes, seniors need intimacy, too, you will benefit from this highly recommended book. Many seniors, however, may have learned long ago the message given here, in which case you could always consider this book.... a refresher course! This is a terrific book from an acclaimed author.

Summary: "Mars and Venus in the Bedroom" belongs in the closet.
Review: I enjoyed the original "Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus" and "Mars and Venus on a Date" and also learned quite a bit. However, there is nothing new to be learned "in the bedroom" if you are in a loving relationship. I think John Gray's original intention was to help Martians and Venusians to better understand one another but for this book, I think he saw $$$$ and threw this book together. It may help those in a marriage who have limited time and poor communication but for the rest of us it wasn't worth the time to read it.

Summary: Great for laughs
Review: I got it,
and it has lots of great advice! I would recommend that it be read with a lard chunk of salt (in some sections). A couple of things made me LMAO and I had to share. 1. He devotes 1 1/2 pages in telling a man how to deliver oral sex to a woman. And not very well either. He mentions the G-spot, but basically says "It would create preformance anxiety in the man if he kept trying to find it---so he won't get too technical" so he leaves it at that. Excuse me! I nearly dropped the book at this point (like, he could have devoted 10 pages to that alone). 2. HOWEVER, he devotes 5 plus pages!!! on giving oral to a guy! Going into extreme, intricate detail of every millimeter of area to be covered. In reading this, there is no doubt about Dr. Gray's gender. His justification? Men like it better than women (erm, excuse me?! Was I asked???) 3. He does this lingerie=mood chart that had me falling out of bed "If she is wearing black lace, it means she is in this kinda mood, if she is wearing white, it means she feels virginal, if she is in pink, it means she feels romantic." Again, WHAT? How about I look pretty dang good in black lack, the pink doesn't scratch and the white doesn't ride up. Maybe he is color blind. 4. Oy, and don't get me started in the section about Quickies (I do agree to some point, but the reciprocal part isn't fair, balanced). Cuddles for a quickie? Where did he find these people! It came off as extremely cold blooded, with the woman lying there like a log being perfectly OK to the hubby (argh!) That alone would be a 'he needed a killin'' defense in a murder trial. All that aside, it does have some helpful pointers. Buy the book used....and cheap.

Summary: Quick read, good advice, can't hurt!
Review: I got the book because there are some bedroom issues between Mars and Venus in my universe. Talking about the issues doesn't seem to help... especially when I am doing all of the talking.
After perusing the book at the book store, I recognized several situations described in the book that are EXACTLY what we are experiencing. It is encouraging to know that a) our issues are not unique, but common; b) this author has already seen and dealt with our exact issues in his work with other couples; and c) the solution could be simply communication and understanding each other better. Why would I NOT buy this book?!
There's nothing earth shattering here. Just reasonable insight and advice in a short, inexpensive book by a successful author of relationship books. At best, our sex-life improves dramatically and forever. At worst, the advice doesn't work for us. Either way, I think I've learned a few things from this book.
Hey, it's all about understanding and communication. If you don't want that in your relationship, don't buy the book. Otherwise, check it out.
