Summary: priceless
Review: I've taken all kinds of sex courses and read a number of books on sex and this is by far the best thing that i ever did. I could have saved a lot of money if this book was written ten years ago. It is the best by far.

Summary: Extended Massive Rip-Off
Review: If you can believe in the existence of a PhD in sensuality, then you can probably believe in the possibility of a 60-minute orgasm. Drs. Steve and Vera Bodansky both hold doctorates in sensuality from More University in Northern California. Their new book, The Illustrated Guide to Extended Massive Orgasm, promises to teach couples how to turn mediocre sex into a teeth-gnashing, ceiling-splattering, life-altering experience.
The book opens: "All orgasm begins in the mind, so that is where we will begin our journey," and proceeds to outline a plan for embracing sensation in every form. Several meandering, philosophical chapters later, the book finally gets down to business with a section entitled "How Do You Do?" further subdivided into "Doing a Woman" and "Doing a Man."
So how does one, er, "do?" In a word: Rubbing. Lots and lots of rubbing.
The Bodanskys' plan for achieving Extended Massive Orgasm (or EMO, as they call it) basically consists of deep relaxation, followed by extended manual stimulation. When they say extended, they mean extended-according to the book, manual stimulation ought to last between one and three hours.
After the dismal first half of the book, I thought it couldn't get worse. Sadly, things don't improve. Topics ranging from wet dreams to Jesus Christ receive thoughtful and thorough treatment. There's even a chapter on the sexual habits of Bonobo monkeys. But, where's the sex? The Bodanskys dismiss sexual mainstays such as intercourse and oral sex as ineffective and unneccessary. Sure, regular old sex is nice once in a while for feeling intimate, but if you're really serious about having orgasms, extended MASSIVE hour-long orgasms, it's time to let your fingers to the walking.
If you're dubious, Steve and Vera Bodansky are currently traveling the country teaching workshops and staging public demonstrations of their techniques. I think this book is a joke, but I'd pay ten dollars to see Steve Bodansky give Vera Bodansky an EMO in an arena setting. Wait, after checking out their picture on the back of the book, I think I'd rather not.
This book lacks any real substance behind its sensationalist title. The wishy-washy philosophy of acknowledging pleasure in everyday life might resonate with the Bodansky's peer group of aging hippies, and the chapters on manual stimulation might enlighten someone who hasn't realized that rubbing one's genitals produces pleasant sensations, but for everyone else, this book is a condescending, longwinded, unintentionally humorous load of crap. Don't buy it. Unless, of course, you want my copy- it's worth a couple of dollars just to see the looks on people's faces when they see "The Illustrated Guide to Extended Massive Orgasm" on your bookshelf or bedside table, right?

Summary: Oh My Gosh!
Review: My marriage of 20 years was rapidly going down hill, and although we didn't want to admit it at first, we knew all too well why. Due to the stresses of work, finances, and our 4 children, we just couldn't bring each other to the exciting completion that we could at the beginning of our relationship. We purchased this guide, in the hopes that it would keep its promise of an "Extended Massive Orgasm". After viewing the illustrations with my spouse for about 1.5 minutes, it did just that, and I became much less tense. In time, perhaps we can find something that will make my wife equally satisfied, but I am quite happy with just using this wonderful book.

Summary: Almost too good.
Review: Over the past few years my girlfriend and I had begun to get a somewhat monotonous quality in our sexual encounters. A very repetitive: in, out, suck, lick, repeat. A routine you could practically sing cadence too. A friend of mine suggested this book to me after I confessed to him that gameshow hosts probably have better sex than me. Boy, have things sure changed though after reading this book. I can't thank my friend enough for recommending it to me and I think about him everytime I have sex. It's like a whole new world of sensual joy had been opened up to my girlfriend and I. Everything is going great now because of this wonderful liberating book the only problem is now I have to get a new girlfriend. The old one popped.

Summary: splendid book
Review: splendid book, highly recommend it. very informative, wish I had read it when I was younger but so glad that I still can use these new skills now. It really works, takes practice but oh so fun to practice. My wife is thrilled at least as much as I. Best book on sex that ever has been published.

Summary: Somewhat interesting...
Review: The book is informative, somewhat interesting, and has very descriptive and detailed techniques, but read more like an anatomy manual. It came off as clinical, and almost like the authors would like us to believe they spend 3 hrs a day stroking each other, with only the occasional release.
I'm glad I read it, but was very disappointed. It does seem
to have been a godsend for others, but just wasn't my cup of tea. Good luck.

Summary: Real 'HOW-TO'! Not a thin rag to read while on toliet!
Review: The negative reviews are understandable: They simply came from people looking for a smut book. This is not it - Try the XXX video store on the corner. The Bodansky's put out their first book on ESO, (now EMO), back in the early 80s. I thank god for it! Otherwise I would have never known all these years what a couple could earn if they are willing to learn. It is so sad that so few have any idea what Great Sex really means. This is not a book that is going to give you some quick gimmicks to quick orgasms; or some 'new position' that will light you on fire. (It's so funny to hear when some people equate the mystery of great sex to some mystery position). One caveat: If your partner isn't likely to try something like this, you'll simply need to upgrade to a newer and more versatile model. For the most part, the benefits of this book require the full participation of both parties, (not one). In summary: This book goes into the physiology & psychology of intimacy, (trust building exercises to how to control and enhance the partners level of arousal). This newer edition expands greatly on the first! If only this book was distributed like books of faith, most of our world's problems and pains would be gone.

Summary: Titilation Value Only
Review: This book has very titilating pictures, but if you are looking for a "guidebook" to achieving ecstasy, it pales in comparison to others I have found which actually had something to say, such as "9 Free Secrets of New Sensual Power" or "New Free Sex" or "New Sex Now."
