Summary: Are we all hetero or what?
Review: I was quite dismayed when I got this book. Three or so pages about homosexual sex and that was all...and that was not very supportive. I live my intimate life as a heterosexual woman but I am queer identified politically. I could not in good conscience recommend this book for any of my studnets.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Fun but Lite
Review: This is a very low-impact sex instruction book, with more humor than substance, more wit that what-to-do. If you are just beginning your education in this worthy field of study, you could do worse than this one. But if you are truly after some enlightenment and sexual power for your bedroom repertoire, I would point you towards more dynamic fare such as "How to give her Absolute Pleasure," or Tom Leonardi's "Secrets of Sensual Lovemaking," or the excellent videos "New Sex Now" or "New Free Sex" by Clint Arthur.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Thought-Provoking, (wink wink)
Review: As a quadrisexual, I am attracted to women, men, unicycles, and accountants. I thought I was alone until I read this book.

Now I know I'm alone!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: so you think you know it all...
Review: You don't. But this book catalogs damn near all of what you don't know. We give this book to friends at their birthdays and engagements and such. They are a bit insulted at first - no one wants to think they need a self-help book - but they all thank us profusely later.

Smart, humorous, well-illustrated. A must-buy.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Pope?
Review: Six star material. What a fantastic book. Can't say enough about it. I learned something from the book that has made me a much better lover. When I have guests, and they take a quick read, they inevitably giggle with amusement then eventually put the book down because, as one female friend stated, "OK, this is making me a little too excited."

To the reviewer giving the book one star, it's great you have strong religious convictions. I highly respect that. Next time, respect other people's GOD given right to be free in their minds and allow them to discuss, think about, and ponder in their heads whatever it is that tickles their fancy.

Summary: Remember not to pick your nose in public in order to
Review: remain attractive to the opposite sex.

The reason that we have trouble getting it on in the modern world is because it is all based on the physical aspect of sex, which is like looking at written language as only random markings on a page. We can basically sleep with anyone because it doesn't seem to matter who he or she is when his or her only function is to physically stimulate us. The physical part of sex can only remain stimulating for so long without us resorting to more increasingly odd and/or animalistic practices.

Does the author really need to tell you how to treat someone nicely after work? This might be so if your only intention is to get the other person in bed with YOU to please YOU and make YOU feel well. If you really loved that person the way you were supposed to, you would know how to treat him or her well.

Want true human attraction that never dulls or fades? Take a tip from Catholcism. You must love your ONE lover/person AS a person. Throw away the contraceptives that separate you as lovers and become closer-reallllly close, as in becoming ONE- through following Natural Family Planning. Unchain yourself, and give yourself fully and freely. You cannot receive what you already have, and you are supposedly looking for something different than what you already have, correct?

Two dogs in heat is not nearly as attractive as two humans in love. So, how is your cocker spaniel looking to YOU?;)

For your eyes and minds, I recommend:

Good News About Sex and Marriage by Christopher West
Contraception: Why Not by Janet E. Smith
Humanae Vitae by Paul VI--There is nothing sexier than total love.;)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A great book for everyone...Amazing!
Review: I was recommended this book by a friend about three years ago. When I went into pre-marital counseling, the counselor recommended it as the best book out there (She said even she learned from it, and she'd seen everything). After taking a look at it, I was amazed. It covers such a breadth of topics in such an easy to read way, with simple diagrams and a straight forward approach.
I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn more about sex, your partner, and how to "get it on." Absolutely magnificent.

Well Done!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Everything you wanted to ask about sex but were afraid to
Review: This book has everything. It talks about kissing, straight sex, gay sex, oral sex, anal sex, "usual" sex, self sex, and much, much more. It is probably difficult to read it all in one shot, but it is a good reference and fun read.
There are readers' comments and also beautiful pen illustrations that resemble a (good) erotica comic book.
The language is very accessible and not vulgar, either.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Finest and Most Accessible Book on Sex Ever Written
Review: I know that moniker above sounds exaggerated, but if there's a better book on sex able to be understood by as many different types, ages, and experienced folk, you let me know.

(I'm going to make one more statement that sounds exaggerated, but isn't: If this book was put in the hands of every American pre-teen during that dry (or non-existent) school sex-ed program, I sincerely believe we would have teens making far better choices about when and how to explore their sexuality, as well as more meaningful sex, orgasms, and enjoyment for when they become sexually active adults. What I'm trying to say is that the sex education quotient here is just that -- and because it has no agenda, it's honest about the pros and cons of everything from heavy petting to intercourse--including frank discussion of disease, the cost of teen pregancy, etc. I love an early section that lists all the responsibilities that come along with a fully sexual relationship...it then challenges the reader to answer the question of whether or not they are ready to take on every single eventuality should it occur. If not, it cheerfully steers you towards a more progressive sexual development (with plenty of tips) but makes it clear that you should NOT be having intercourse. I think that one problem with American sexuality is that we don't really deal with it until the "time" comes, instead of progressively building our sexual experience alongside our building of physical and emotional maturity. If we did that, on a more reasoned and comfortable timetable, we'd all be better off. This book lets all of us know that there are plenty of things to do with those "urges." And not all of them require intercourse. YET, is this a book for kids? No, it's genuinely a book for everyone.)

The book's style is easy reading, light but not offensive, and complete. With everything from sex tips, to sex history, to chapters on approaching sex while one partner pregnant, disabled, on her period, has erectile dysfunction, etc. You can't beat the content, and its straightforward understandable presentation in any other sex book out there.

(The pictures are cool, too -- fun, realistic drawings, not cold, clinical photos.)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Must Own
Review: One of the best books ever - read it with your partner, read it alone...read it to on another!
