Summary: I've read this book (more than some reviewers could say!)
Review: I first bought this book three years ago after meeting Tristan Taormino at an educational workshop. I was amazed at the enthusiam, research, and dedication she has devoted towards making anal sex a safe, pleasurable, and fun experience for all people.Taormino also has an amazing writing style. It kept the topic light and understandable - even in the thickest of chapters.
The book was a quick read - I picked up endless facts, learned more than I could of imagined about the internal workings of the butt, and most of all - I was able to get honest safe advice about enjoying anal sex from someone with actual experience in that area. At least with Tristan Taormino - she won't recommend anything that she has personnally tried herself. How can you top that? (for the record, several big name sex-advice authors can't even claim that!) .... If you have yet to buy this book - I open-heartedly recommend it. It is definately a beginners book. It covers all the basics from myths, anatomy, communication, trust, toys, anal health, positions, lube, common fears, to pleasure and more!
Best of all Taormino includes a lengthly resource guide at the end of the book that pretty much covers everything! (the book would probably be worth buying just to get a look at that!) So if you still want more info - she helps you get it! All in all - don't pass this one up. If you've ever thought about butt play (if you know someone who should be thinking about it...) Give this a read! two thumbs up!

Summary: Shocking!
Review: I'm outraged! This is unbelievable! How could such a naughty and deplorable book have been written, let alone be available for sale on this website? Oh, where is our moral compass? How have we lost our way?
(Pauses while the wife, smiling proudly, leaves the room. . .)
(waits. . .)
WOW! This book floored me! Can you really DO stuff like that? Tristan, darlin', you go girl! You write in an upfront, conversational manner, and you tell it like it is, plus you introduced me to a whole new vocabulary (from now on, I will never look at a spoon in the same way). From under the wraps of taboo and myth THE ULTIMATE GUIDE is the ultimate enlightenment. Ten Stars!

Summary: Sounds like EVERY woman should read this book
Review: I've seen this woman on TV. She really knows how to get pleasure from taking it in the ass. Nothing dirty or wrong just good hard fun. Every woman should read this book and learn to like it up the ass. If done right, it just get to the g-spot in a little different fashion.

Summary: A great beginner guide and more!
Review: In 144 pages Ms. Taormino covers this subject completely in a very matter of fact and enthusiastic point of view. If you have never tried this kind of eroticism this is a great book to get. One of the reasons I liked this book was it was written by an enthusiast of anal eroticism and everything in the book she has a behind the scenes perspective that is very refreshing. Also, Ms. Taomino writes so casually, like a girlfriend giving you inside need to know information. The book is organized and concise from the Introduction to the Resource Guide in the back. No matter what your experience is with anal eroticism you can learn from this book. Each chapter gives you more insight and understanding on this taboo experience. I enjoyed the whole book. The Author does a great job dispelling the myths associated with this practice and delivering important information for making this experience pleasurable for the novice and experienced. There are 12 chapters excluding the introduction and the resource guide the book covers myths, anatomy, emotional and psychological aspects, tools of the trade, hygiene, heath aspects to the practice, and some of the funniest illustrations I've ever seen in a sex book. If you want to learn more about this practice this is a great book to get, it delivers the information in a relaxed, humorous, and matter a fact way. The book is a great guide for women and men wanting to expand their repertoire in the bedroom. girldiver:)

Summary: Nice "Intro Guide"
Review: It's probably unusual that a male would write a review of this book, given that its audience is women. My thought is that since I am sexual with women only, any book that gives me new information about "playing sexually" with women will be of value to me. And too, the idea of anal sex turns some people off. Some will say "ewww..it's perverted!" To paraphrase Woody Allen, "Only if you do it right!" There are currently very few (if any) books on the market about this "taboo" subject, which makes it all the more important to read. Besides which, there is information here that applies to both genders. While obviously some of the material is strictly for women (doh!), any male readers can skip the non-applicable parts and concentrate on other chapters, like "10 Myths About Anal Sex," "Tools of the Trade (ie lube and anal toys)," or chapters on anal anatomy, anal penetration, and anal health, which are ALL important topics for either gender. Three cheers to Tristan for writing an informative book about a topic those of us into may have known little about but should know much more.

Summary: simple choice, great gift item
Review: My girlfriend kept bothering me about anal sex. I put it off until one day I found this book lying on our bed. OK, I said, this is the last straw, you want anal sex, you've got it. I read the book, and thus entered a new chapter in our anal sexual lives. I cant get over how wonderful the world of anal sex is. In general, the book does a good job of letting the female know that she needs to get her butt clean and lubed up. This is very important for anal sex. Go slow, and make sure to have fun.

Summary: Ladies - a MUST read!
Review: Tired of the same old routine with your lover(s)? I suspect that MANY a woman has at least THOUGHT about doing this extremely HOT act. Why not give in? This book (and yes, there is an accompanying video well worth searching out) tells you what you can expect. A great primer on something more people need to OPEN themselves up to. Come on ladies, it can be YOUR little secret. Do it. You know you want to. (And on a serious note: men should strongly consider being wrapped while enjoying).

Summary: Honk honk fo Badonkadonk
Review: Tristan helped me get over my fear of the poopie stankie and that my girl's monkey-button is not to be shunned. I have more confidence when I want to go down the "ol' dirt road."
I found the pre-packing tips to be very helpful. I would never have known to go in first with a corn cob.
I like the way the language was very conversational like you were listening to your mother tell you how much her poop-chute hurt when the frat boys poked it for the first time.
The only improvement I would make is an extra chapter telling how to keep seeds and bean skins off your jimmy.

Summary: Geared toward women but lots of general advice
Review: When this book was written the options for learning about anal sex were very very few, in fact really only "Anal Helath and Pleasure" by Morin was available to the average person. Now there are several options. This one is geared toward women and yet I don't that enough time is spent on women's isssues compared to men in the book. Most of the information can be found in other sources. Franky I think the book needs more specific information and stories about and from women to justify the title. However, if you are a woman or have a female partner who is worried that guides are anal sex are really for gay men, this could be a good way to get to read up on the subject. Taormino's enthusiasm for anal sex is clear from the beginning of the book but she is sensitive to the negetive images and fears about anal sex. That makes it a safer feeling read for some women.
