Summary: Delightful
Review: Jay Wiseman's series of "Tricks" books have all been entertaining, delightful, and informative. This latest book is a series of 125 "tricks" designed to make your sexual experiences more fun and/or memorable for all involved. These tricks are divided into sections: Basic tricks, safer sex tricks, tool-using tricks, oral, anal, and finally kinky tricks. There's also sections devoted to safer sex practices, toy cleaning, "building the perfect nightstand (yeah!)," and a brief discusion of power exchange play. The book is also pleasing to the reader. Sized smaller than a conventional book, but still beautifully laid out from the cover picture to the easily readable text inside.

If only I'd known about some of these tricks years ago. Ah well, better late than never I suppose. Now I just want to find a way to get my name included among all the others who have contributed ideas to this or Jay's other "Tricks" books!

Summary: waste of paper
Review: there are a few good tips, but most of the others are pathetic. parts of the book are insulting to the intelligence! in a market inundated with sex manuals one expected the author to provide more than just a bunch of cliches. don't waste your money on it...buy one of lou paget's books. p.s. it is also disturbing to note that most of the reviewers here who have liked the book have either contributed to it or are aspiring to. talking about sucking up!

Summary: For newbies only
Review: This book is too elementary for any man who has read a decent sex manual. I was intrigued by the fact that the author invites readers to contribute tricks, and displays a list of names of contributors whose tricks have been published. I thought such a collaborative effort would result in some mindblowing 'tricks'! I was totally disappointed.

Summary: Tricks to market a book
Review: What I expected: A collection bursting with fresh ideas gleaned from insightful interviews and surveys; and that are not usually found in popular sex manuals.

What I got:
1) Nuggets of idiotic advice. Example trick: "It's often very useful and helpful to signal your partner; verbally or otherwise, that you are about to come, especially when you are receiving fellatio."
Hello...that's not a trick, that's basic courtesy! Here's another trick: "Some tricksters have reported to me, very emphatically, that it's possible to make cunnilingus much more intense for some women by gently pulling back the clitoral hood to expose the tissue normally covered by it, and then licking there." What a roundabout (and space hogging) way to describe LICKING THE CLITORIS. Such simple commonsense, expanded in to fancy prose, is what the book is full of.
2) Magnanimous page layouts that leave more than 50% of the page blank. There are just 2 tricks to a page! Sometimes just 1!! This kind of generous page design feels justified for profound content like Richard Bach's Jonathan Livingston Seagull but feels galling when employed for grossly incompetent works like this one. Clearly a lot more tricks could have been fitted in if the pages were more judiciously utilized. Are the others being saved for a sequel? "MORE tricks to please a woman" perhaps? Likely.
3) Deceptively alluring cover design that is a stark contrast to the incompetence within.

If you have read any sex manual, you will find this book a complete waste of money and frequently insulting to your intelligence. But what is an even greater waste is the opportunity that Mr.Wiseman had to create a remarkable piece of work. Clearly the author had identified the need in the market for a handbook of timeless ways to turn on a woman, a ready-reckoner of sorts. But alas, went about filling that need most disappointingly. How much 'wiser' it would have been for Mr.Wiseman to commission Paul Joannides to fill the pages between the covers.

The one star I have given it is only just in case the book was meant for blokes who do not even know that licking a clitoris generally pleases the owner. For such completely clueless idiots, this book would probably serve some purpose (actually even for them, there are far better books out there).

As for the rest, please save your money to spend on "The Guide to Getting It On!" -- by Paul Joannides or "How to Give Her Absolute Pleasure." -- by Lou Paget

Summary: Not really "tricks"
Review: Which is what Wiseman says in the introduction, these are magic tricks to make things good but to make good sex with a woman better. If you've found the previous more general books useful but wanted a more sex specific version, this is one of them. Not a book for those with a great sex life or with tons of experience but a nice little guide for others feeling confined or unsure. I should say that I contributed to the book but the contributions are not listed by authors.
