Summary: IN THE BEDROOM an insightful guide to "le difference}
Review: I have long been a fan of John Gray's paradigm of two separate, equal, but very different species--who misunderstand each other endlessly as they try to bond/coexist. I was surprised, however, at how much I learned from this book, since I have studied sexuality many times (in my Bachelors of Science in Psychology, in medical school, and again in my Family Practice residency.) I was also chagrined to see my own misinterpretations exposed and corrected. The one nugget of insight that stands out for me is: "Why do women generally not wish to guide a man during lovemaking." We men start out in life with few clues how to be a lover--and we're more interested in our own pleasure anyway. But women expect we men to know how to pleasure them; plus women need to lie back and relax in order to arouse to orgasm. If they stop to give directions, then they must arise out of this relaxation--which breaks their mood of enjoyment. Thus we men would do better to seek women's instruction between love-making episodes. If you are interested in correcting your own myths about the opposite gender--buy this book.

Summary: Helps people understand that we are different!
Review: I personally think that I can better please my fiance after having read this book. Prior to reading this book I had no idea on how different men and women respond to sex and love. Thank you, Mr. Gray.

Summary: The ultimate bedroom how-to book!
Review: I recommend this book to ABSOLUTELY who needs some help knowing how to please their partner in the bedroom. Newlyweds, "oldlyweds", you name it. If you're not sure what pleasures the opposite sex, read this book. It's tasteful and well-done.

Summary: Educational
Review: I think the purpose of reading a book like this is for education and discussion. I believe it is a good book that brings up many insights into Male and Female behaviour. The book should best be shared with a partner. By expressing extremes of male and female sexuality it gives lots of scope for discussion whereby a couple can find their balance.
I don't agree that the book presents women as sex objects for use by men. I believe it is one of the few books that actually admits and explains male sexuality so that men and women can *both* be fulfilled within a loving relationship.
If you love your partner, male or female, then this is a good book with which to discuss sex.

Summary: Not up to the other Mars/Venus material
Review: I'm a big fan of the Mars/Venus materials. They have made a big difference in my relationships and improved my life as a result.This book, however, is not up to the same level as the others. It adds very little insight, and only a few helpful facts. Rather than get this book, I would recommend another reading of the original Mars/Venus book.

Summary: Mars and Venus in the Bedroom: You Have to Have This Book!
Review: I've been married to the same person for 28 years and always thought our sex life was great, but when we read this book (yes, we both read it) we realised how much we still didn't know, hadn't tried, and hadn't communicated about. This book has enhanced an already great relationship - just think what it could do for one in trouble! This is written plainly, interestingly, and is very accurate - from both the woman's and the man's point of view. There were a couple of things that seemed corny to me, but may not seem that way to someone who is 20 years younger than me (I'm 48). Buy this book! I guarantee you will get at least one insight into sex that will help your love life, no matter how wise you think you already are!

Summary: Highly recommended!
Review: If you think that passion cannot last in a long-term, monogamous relationship, then you really need to read this book. Dr. Gray gets specific.

Summary: AN EXCELLENT GUIDE
Review: It is an interesting book for both men and women. It teaches you a lot about the opposite sex . It is the best book i have ever read about love making. All my friends asked me copies after hearing about it. I recommend this book for all whome are married or about to be.

Summary: Very Informative Text
Review: John Gray's book is an excellent resource for people who are interested in improving their physical relationships. After reading each section thoroughly, I realized for the first time that there was more to the enjoyment of intimacy than I had imagined. Chapter 3, titled 'Once A Year Is Not Enough', made me re-think my schedule. I still only get it once a year, but at least Gray has made me aware. Another excellent piece of advice comes in Chapter 5, where Gray states controversially, 'Don't be afraid to experiment; try new things, like undressing. It may seem unnatural at first, but hey...we've all got wobbly bits.' This is also a valuable manual for those just starting a physical relationship. Topics for the 'nookie' novice include 'How Come You've Got THREE?', 'Batteries Are A Girl's Best Friend', 'No, Susan, Fellatio Wasn't That Italian Film Director Married to Sophia Loren' and 'Bob and Carol and Bill and Monica'. 'Mars and Venus in the Bedroom' is a 'must-read' book. I can't wait for Gray's next one, 'Mars and Venus in the Boardroom'. Coroprate America is already ducking for cover.

Summary: not the golden rule
Review: No, it won't change your sex life overnight or turn you into "the best in bed", but it would shed light to the difference of how men and women view sex. It certainly will deepen your understanding for your partner and may help you becoming closer because of that extra knowledge nobody told you about.
