Rating:  Summary: Good Sex Is Just A Book Away... Review: Sex is a subject that is not often talked about among couples. Unfortunately, it is also an area that accounts for a large chunk of divorces. Women expect men to be mind-readers, intuitively knowing just what to do to bring them pleasure. Men assume that they should know what to do already, as if males are born as sex experts. (Not!) What often results is great expectations met with disppointment, and thwarted, hit-and-miss attempts at intimacy and sexual fulfillment.With this book by Dr. John Gray, sex doesn't have to be a frustrating and hurtful guessing game. Gray explores areas such as sexual versus emotional fulfillment, taking responsibility for your own pleasure, how to increase desire and rekindle passion, a women's need to relax, the joy of quickies, passionate monogamy, and home-cooked sex versus gourmet sex. Both men and women are given maps into the murky terrain of the other's attitudes and expectations about sex, which will no doubt result in a sigh of relief by many. At last, someone understands! While providing accurate maps, though, Gray acknowledges that every person (especially women!) are unique, and as such, have unique desires, likes, and dislikes. When discussing giving a man positive direction, Gray points out that some women do not realize a man's sensivitity in this area. Men want to please their women, so certain comments can feel like rejection to a man, which will bring an instant chill to intimacy. Here are 10 sexual turnoffs outlined by Gray: 1. "You're not doing it right." 2. "I don't like that." 3. "Ouch! That hurts!" 4. "Don't touch me like that." 5. "That tickles." 6. "Not like that." 7. "Not yet." 8. "Not there." 9. "I'm not ready." 10. "What are you doing?" Gray then goes on to explain why a man shuts down, how to give positive feedback and re-direction, and 20 sexual turn on phrases. The Chapter titled How To Drive a Women Wild With Pleasure provides men with some excellent practical advice on how a woman ticks, and how to rev up her engine. Gray advises: "A man needs to remember that to increase a woman's pleasure, he needs to delay direct stimulation. Certain ancient temples are dedicated to the female aspect of God. According to one ritual associated with these temples, you have to circumambulate the temple three times before entering it. This same principle to loving and adoring a woman during sex." One of the most practical parts of this book is that it contains drawings. Yes, drawings. How do you expect to know where to put what? Seriously, though, it's important to know about anatomy to understand what may bring a man or woman pleasure. Gray understands the pressures that many couples face, and explains why many are having less sex. He also explains why men are like the sun, and women are like the moon. (A very helpful analogy!) The "voice" of this book is very understanding and encouraging, coaxing men and women to re-discover the joy and pleasure of intimacy and sex. Rather than going without, or relegating yourself to frustration and disappointment with regards to sex, why not pick up this book (or something like it) and make the decision to enjoy your sexuality? It is my belief that we are given these bodies to enjoy, and the delight of sexual intimacy with our mate is a part of that. (I mean, if God didn't intend women to enjoy sex, then why give her a clitoris!) Ignorance is *not* bliss when it comes to mutual sexual fulfillment. If you're frustrated or have given up on a satisfying sex life, take heart: this book gives great information, encouragement, and hope.
Rating:  Summary: Too much sexual technique for my martian taste Review: The tape was good to listen to for some tips on how to improve the sex life of martians and venusians. Some of the ideas are ok, but really if you were to practice these ideas literally...I would not recommend it to anyone. But it is good as a guideline. Keep open for other suggestions out there though.
Rating:  Summary: Wish I could give this NO stars Review: The use of the paper on which this deranged farce is printed is a grievous insult to trees everywhere (to say nothing of both men and women.)
Rating:  Summary: Hilarious! But not intentionally. Review: There are a few good concepts in this book, but they are so buried under Grey's ridiculous language, it's not worth bothering. His descriptions of things are florid, bizarre and cringeworthy-- one embarassing example: "A man's persistent sexual longing is really his soul seeking wholeness. The barren landscape of living only in his mind seeks union with the rich, sensuous, colorful and sweet-smelling terrain of his heart." (p. 29) Uh... WHAT? It did have my husband and I rolling with laughter for hours, but that's probably not what the author intended. When my husband wants to let me know he's feeling amorous, he says "Honey, my soul is feeling sooooo barren." Then we laugh hysterically. The suggestions of what to say to your partner about things are so stilted and strange, I can't imagine anyone saying them with a straight face. Men aren't from Mars, but if John Grey is, it would explain a lot.
Rating:  Summary: Eye-opening experience:) Review: These days, i am really excited....i am 21, and from a very old-fashioned, closed society, trying to find answers to my questions....Someone sent me this book as a Xmas present...My life has changed and i mean it... i have found myself saying:" Why didnot someone tell me those things before?" I am a different person altogether now and with such passion to read and read:) Grateful, Michael.
Rating:  Summary: Good book for men Review: This book has too much of the man's point of view without too much from a womans perspective. It is a very good book nonetheless. It has may ideas to help a relationship. It is a very helpful book.
Rating:  Summary: Same Sexist - Babble Review: This book insists that a woman is sexless and needs to be cattle prodded into bed.Every sterotype about female sexuality is in this rediculous story about the monster sex drive male and the helpless female.Basically it makes the assumption that a women's mind can be changed with enough flowers and romance,so why not give it a shot and go for the gold...it has no references for women wanting to get a man into bed,but I'm not surprized because John Gray continues to believe that the man wants sex and the woman has to be talked and coddled into sex.
Rating:  Summary: THIS IS A BOOK THAT BASICALLY TELLS YOU HOW IT IS Review: This book is iextremely interesting. It is completely based for men and woman to read. It will teach you everything you need to know and more about the opposite sex, right down to the diagrams. This book is very point blank and educational but however, puts you in lust while you are reading it. Deep lust!!!!
