Rating: Summary: Interesting Book on Sex for Young People Review: As long as you go into this book knowing that it is kind of an introductory book dealing with sex you'll be very happy. This book injects some fun and humor and sensuality into its discussions of sex, a welcome relief from the neurotic images of sex we're all bombarded with by the media. The illustrations manage to be far more erotic and sensual than photography could ever be, and the dialogue in the book is peppered with humor. If you're consider yourself a sexual 'veteran' you would probably be better off getting a good book on Tantra to further explore your sexuality. But if you're looking for a fun sensual book that breaks through our society's hangups about sex and gives a lot of helpful advice this book is excellent.
Rating: Summary: I reviewed this book when I was in college Review: When I worked for my college newspaper, I reviewed this book.The publisher sent a review copy to our paper, and both men and women on the staff engaged in all levels of subterfuge to swipe the book. I had a hell of a time keeping it on my desk long enough to write the review, then I tried to steal it for myself. I wasn't fast enough, though, and it disappeared. SO i had a long conversation with the author, whom I can say sounds like a plain-old-down-to-earth guy who happens to know a famous comic book artist (Daerick Gross) and a hell of a lot about sex. What a book. It's refreshing, honest, unpretentious. I hope he sells a million copies and can take an early retirement to Palm Beach or Patagonia or someplace nice. Paul, seeing the amazon listing made me recall the great interview you gave me (it was probably spring 99 or 98, and inspired me to put the volume on the Christmas list of someone I know ... During our interview, the author told me that in his practice as an analyst, he often wanted to suggest a book about a healthy sex life, but he could never find any. So, he wrote his own. This is the book about sex you wish you had. Great writing, Excellent illustrations (Ever wonder what happened when Peter Parker and Mary Jane (or whatever her name was) were behind closed doors?). If you're a reader considering a purchase, may I advise? BUY THIS BOOK. OR JUST SEND THE AUTHOR A SHOEBOX FULL OF MONEY. EITHER ONE.
Rating: Summary: The College "Bible" Review: I am so happy so many people have found and love this book as much as I do! I bought this book when it first came out and brought it to college with me. Many people call it the "sexual bible" I think every one should read this book, everything and anything is included.

Rating: Summary: Author comments... Review: This new edition won't change anyone's sexlife like some of the books from the big publishing houses say they can do--but it will bring a smile to your face and it can help turn frustration and anxiety into excitement about what lies ahead. I can't tell you how thankful I've felt when so many of you have taken the time and effort to let me know your thoughts, ideas, and suggestions. You've helped to make me a better person, and the Guide a better book.
Rating: Summary: Thanks to our readers... Review: "If only the Gideons were putting free copies of this book in every nightstand drawer of every motel room in the world!"

Thanks to you, the Guide has won two awards, is used as required reading in more than 30 colleges, and has been translated into five languages--all while being ignored by most of the mainstream media.

The Guide has been successful because of your delight and your willingness to tell your friends. It's as much your book as it is ours. THANK YOU!
Rating: Summary: Funny and Informative Review: This book made me laugh as much as nod my head. Phil is a very humorous writer, so while he's writing about things that are serious or erotic, there's always a nice funny edge to it. It's a great reference book--very informative in my opinion
Rating: Summary: Better Than Sex! No, Wait. . . Review: Chicks dig me. Because I seldom wear underwear and when I do, it's usually something quite exotic. But there's clearly more to satisfying a woman that letting her know that "nothing comes between me and my Levi's." In this day and age with sexual imagery abused so much, a book like this will hopefully bring as many real people back together as possible. Pornography misrepresents so much about the emotion and deeper meaning of eroticism. . .we must save ourselves. This book can help. Okay, now that you can master your domain, master your mistress and master the matress, don't forget to care for your souls.
Rating: Summary: Funny Happy Sex Review: Ultra informative. This book tells it all. When they explain sex with a sense of humor, rather than sticky technical words, it is fun and enjoyable. Oh, and the illustrations are tops!
