Summary: This book will enrich your life!
Review: Based on the rather Howard Stern-esque sounding title of this book I wasn't expecting too much. In fact I got it via inter-library loan as much as anything to check out the element of chastisement referred to by one reviewer below - do all woman-centered books need to do this I wondered? Anyway, before I had gotten even half way through it, I went ahead and ordered a copy from Amazon.com for my collection - it's that good. There are those who will say there are no secrets, it's all been said before, save your money, blah, blah blah. But what this book does, and very well I might add, is to promote a very respectful, partner-honoring mentality, mixed in with alot of honest upfront information on what works and what doesn't for many women. Yet it's not all strictly sexual (ie - genitally focused) so if you are looking for the magic button to get her motor running without fail you may be dissappointed. And I think it may be hard to take some of the information positively if you are not at least part way to realizing it on your own - stuff about how a prized part of your anatomy is a distant 4th on the list of your pleasure-giving assets. And I think this may well explain the rather mixed reviews the book is getting. But to be fair I don't think the chastisement, if that is what you want to call it, is particularly shrill. In every case the authors allow that "not all men believe 'X' or are like 'Y' and for some of you this may just be a review ...", so unless you really can't stomach the message, the delivery seems pretty tame and male friendly throughout (say in comparison to something like Rebecca Chalker's "Clitoral Truth").Bottomline is this book is really quite good, much better than some of the negative reviews here indicate, and better than the cheesy title might suggest. While it is rather chatty and breezey in style it is literally dense with the sort of authentic information about women's sexuality that few men ever clearly receive. In the end what these authors promote amounts to nothing less than a radical rewrite of the model of heterosexual sexuality, one in which pleasure for the female partner isn't just faked or vicarious, and one unfortunately that has been a long time in coming (or coming back if you believe the goddess worshippers). Many other books have attempted to boil it all down to a few handy tricks, yet maybe that boiling down is exactly the problem. If there is a key message here it is this, "Hey guys, never forget that there is a woman attached to those genitals!" And if you can manage that (and still feel like having sex with her), then you are well on your way to a good thing. This book, as Jack Nicholson's character in "As Good As It Gets" says, makes me want to be a better man. And maybe that is the single best thing you can bring to a relationship - the genuine desire to connect and make your partner happy, whether it be with a relaxing massage or a wild night of swinging-from-the-chandelier passion. I heartily recommend this book to any man open to rethinking the cultural scripts around heterosexual love-play. Doing what it takes to truly let her feel like a woman, shouldn't make you any less of a man, even though alot of our cultural baggage seems to say just that.

Summary: If Your A Rookie At Getting Nookie Give It A Try
Review: I bought the book Lesbian Sex Secrets For Men by Jamie Goddard and Kurt Brungardt for my husband as part of a "Spoof" Father's Day gift pack. We read the book together last Saturday night. In this book the audience is promised by the authors the secrets that every man wants to know about making love to another woman and never asks, but the authors fall a bit short on their delivery of that promise. A good example of that is the fact that no less than 28 pages are dedicated to the art of kissing. To say that parts a slow read is an understatement. Then starting in chapter titled "Sapphic Arts" the tone of the book turns downright crude starting with the section titled "Finger !ucking" and goes downhill from there. It takes very little creativity to call the art of sex !ucking, and a woman's vagina a !ussy which these two do repeatedly throughout the book. We did learn a couple terms we were unaware of such as fisting, and found the twenty pages dedicated to the different aspect of dildo usage somewhat humorous at times (never considered boiling one :P ). Overall if you are a rookie at getting nookie we would recommend this book. However if your not, don't expect to get hot, because you will not :) .

Summary: A whole lot of talk and not much instruction
Review: I bought this for my husband, whose experience with the opposite sex was more limited than mine. I thought that if anyone knew how to teach about making love to a woman, well, this book would be it! Well, was I wrong. BORING!![.] It talks more about the spiritual side of love, the connections, etc., more than detailed instructions. There's a little of that, but not enough to justify buying this book. Don't waste your money.

Summary: How to Save your Relationship
Review: Lesbian Sex Secrets For Men, by J. Goddard and K. Brungardt, is an amzing work that has already aided my relationship! I had heard that the book was coming out in May and I thought it might be good for me as well as my male partner. So, last week I bought the book and found it to be the best thing since sex therapy! I only introduced it to my partner three days ago, but so far, so good. I think this book is particularly strong due to its detailed instructions. It provides exact information in a no nonsense manner while also being sensitive to people's ideas about sex. My partner thought he would be okay with reading it because a male wrote it as well as a woman. The book gives a new view of how people in relationships need to talk. I am writing this even though I still have to read the last two chapters, but I feel very confident in telling all of my friends about it. More than anything, I want to tell people that although the content may seem racy, it is about time we got a book that is direct and honest. The stories of the women and men in the surveys are the book's best asset. Hearing people with familiar problems is a great comfort. So, in conclusion I would say this is the sex book of the 21rst century. Move over "The Joy of Sex"!

Summary: Life-changing
Review: This book helped me to completely reassess and ultimately come to grips with my true s_xual identity. I've apparently been a Lesbian trapped in a man's body all my life. As soon as I finish my s_x change operation in Mexico (I had to get it done on the cheap since my medical insurance wouldn't pay for it, for some reason), I'll be back in the States living the life of libidinous Lesbian love and wild abandon I always dreamed of. Highly recommended for those men who, like me, previously suffered from delusions of gender.

Summary: Brilliant!!!
Review: This book is one of my favorites! It is a book about women, a book that unveils our sexuality and secrets. Any man, who wants to understand us better and be a great lover, MUST read this book!!! This book tells who we are, how we feel, what we want, what our cravings are, and what our frustrations are. For many people it is very difficult to talk about sex and sometimes heterosexual couples pretend that their sex life is great but deep inside they know that isn't true. As a heterosexual woman I never thought that lesbians had so much fun, but I can totally see how the female understanding they share is key to have great sex. If guys had a better understanding of women we could also have as much fun!!! So guys leave your pride aside and open your horizons to AWESOME SEX!!!!!

Summary: Fun for both guys and girls
Review: This is a great book for both couples and singles to add a little spice to your sex life. While the title might say it is only for men, it definetly can be for women as well. The book is also very serious, and does not make jokes out of your sex life. Overall, a great how to book and definetly not your old school, Joy of Sex.

Summary: Every man and woman should read this book¿
Review: This is a must read for every man and woman; it cover a variety subjects in a striate forward and upright (no pun intended) manner, with chapters describing the vulva to chapters that describing how best to communicate with one another. Even if you feel you know all there is to know about sex, this book may show you something new and worth trying out. I think this book should be required reading for both women and men when they reach the age of eighteen. I only wish this book had been published when I was eighteen!
I would have learned a lot more, a lot faster.
A good companion book to get would be "Femalia" by Joani Blank. It's photo book of women's vulvas; it's a realistic look at a part of a woman body.
