Summary: John Gray understands women too well sometimes
Review: This book was extremely helpful, I believe more so for men than from women. Men are often confused as to what a woman wants in a relationship, especially when it comes to sex, and as a result, the majority of men turn out be very poor lovers. This book is a godsend - it tells men exactly some of the things theyre doing wrong, what a woman really means when she says something, and says things that women have tried to say to men but are unable to articulate it well or are too embarrassed to express it. I dont necessarily agree with it 100 percent, nobody should, and it wont help heal every sexual dysfunction a person may have, but, for the average person, this book is great.

Review: This book, i.e., Mars and Venus in the Bedroom : A Guide to Lasting Romance and Passion is a good guide on the nature of sex: Since it shows the difference between how women and men view sex and romance.

Summary: Great book
Review: This is a very good book. It explains a lot of things that men or even women didn't know. I mean do women really want to tell their husband where to touch them, or about romantic things to do before you are in bed? If you are a woman who doesn't like romance or a man who refuses to be in a romantic and sexual relationship then don't get this book. But if you'd like an added spark in your relationship, this book is the one to get. It explains places to touch and different things to try with your partner, I thought it was great!

Review: Very helpful, useful book. Especially useful for monogamous couples. It will send your relationship a boost if you practice this book. Even if you think you don't need advice for your sex life, this is still a helpful book in other aspects.

Summary: men are don juans women are prey
Review: What did I get from reading the book? A feeling that Gray
fanatically believes men are the hunters and sex is a
male domain,and woman are the prey and merely the sexless
toys of men.
Gray overemphasizes the importance of the woman's appearance
and de emphasizes her sexual needs and also blow torch
reaction to sex as opposed to his crock pot example of
female sexuality.
He gives pointers to men on the subject of 'getting her into
bed' with words,flowers,gifts and candy.Never does he realize that if the woman is not attracted to the man,she
will be a bee-line out the door.
His pointers to women has nothing to do with her as an
individual,but how to overcome her innate sexual shyness
and slow arrousal time.He works with old myths,especially
the one where women are believed to be as blind as batts
and turned on by even the ugliest man if he gives her the
right words and chocolates.
In the real world,men and women could be reversed.Men
needing more arousal time and women ready to go for it
at the drop of a hat.But of course in Gray's world this
is very rare.
Gray gives me the feeling he thinks women are lacking in
sexuality,or that it is some vague defused sexuality,
only stimulated by words of love.In short,women don't
have eyes or sex drive,and it has to be guided by the
man into some kind of romantic fog in order for the woman
to function.
On the other hand,Gray believes men are the only visual
creatures who have to hold back these animal sex drives
which are only tamed by honorable gentlemenly controlls.
This is where we get "he was a gentlemen,he didn't try
anything" how many times have you heard that?Countless
I bet.
Men have to channel their powerful sex drive into romance
and women have to channel their romantic needs into
pleasing the males animal need for sex.Well this is what
the book says loud and clear.Basically men want sex and
women want love,this is the "fact" Gray is trying to
pound into the reader.
He's working off of myths and recycling them back into
society as "scientific fact"
What I find appauling is how he gives men and women very
different attributes.How he boxes people into sterotypes
of male don juan and female the prey.

Summary: Brainless...
Review: Writing from a male perspective, I was surprised at how pro-male this book was. I believe it can be said that men tend to have higher sex drives than women, however it seems that Mr. Gray's book puts an overwhelming amount of the responsibility for sex on the woman - meaning that every time her "man" wants it, she should respond. I read very few examples in the book that came from the female point of view. Most of the book focused on satisfying the male in the relationship. Doesn't the woman deserve some sort of satisfaction? For a better view of sexual relations in marriage, try Tim & Beverly LaHaye's book "The Act of Marriage".
