The Sensuous Woman

Summary: Laughably Dated but Surprisingly Solid
Review: The "how to please your man" tone had my inner feminist cringing a bit, but most of the advice was quite solid. Respect for yourself and your feelings, a giving attitude, and acceptance of the little foibles that all men and women are prone to will make you happier and more exciting in bed. Ms. J has a no-nonsense, big-sisterly style that is quite assuring. Her advice about "veneral disease" is strictly 1969, but even there she has something timeless to say - "If...there is something wrong in the genital area, don't sit around frozen in fear, run to the gynecologist." For the most part she says what countless others have said since - Self-confidence is sexy and taking responsibility for your own pleasure is even sexier.

Summary: Old but GREAT
Review: The first time I read this book I was too bashful to read it completely. It may be considered out of date in alot of factors but I know I'm good at what I do because of what I learned in the book. I give this book to newlyweds and couples who are in trouble. I have yet to be told they didn't appreciate the gift.

Summary: 20 years+ and still the best book I ever owned
Review: The first time I read this book was as a teenager. Mostly out of curiosity about sex. I have owned 3 copies and have reread the book countless times. I have to say most everything in this book is helpful. I have loaned it to every friend who ever asked me about sex. It is a little dated now, but if you can get past when it was written it will be most helpful!

Summary: Complete Garbage!
Review: This book was complete and utter rubish, I have never read ANYTHING that so insults women. I mean, I know this book is from either the 60s or 70s but that is still no excuse for the complete disregard for females. In this book "J" claims that women should think and fantasize about their men all day, but not be disapointed when they don't treat them in the same way. This is a horrible book, and I am appaled to know that it is still in print.
