Summary: May Possibly Conflict With Moral Beliefs
Review: Depending on your moral or religious convictions, you may find this book in conflict with them. I ordered the book based on the reccomendation of a friend, but found it not very helpful because many of the things suggested violate my moral & religious principles. Some examples: strong encouragement to practice extensive masturbation, use of pornography, use of vibrators and sex toys, the authors' stated conviction that "monogamy is boring" [I haven't found it so, wish I had the time and energy to jump my hubby every single night], etc. It also might be worth noting that both authors spent 10 years working in a sex shop selling vibrators and sex toys - they have a *very* permissive perspective on sex, in my opinion.

I expected more help in the practicalities - I haven't lost my sex drive, I just seldom have any energy or time to cater to it, which I find frustrating. I expected more on how to balance life with children and less on practices that aren't an option for me. I'd really have appreciated more suggestions on making an opportunity to enjoy sex with my sexy husband instead of advice to masturbate more often.

This is not a criticism of *anyone's* morals or sexual beliefs. For a person with a different frame of reference, this book would probably be extremely useful. But I do think it is worth noting that some women might find it less useful [or downright offensive depending on how strict their beliefs are]. Those buyers should beware - this isn't the book for you.

Summary: I recommend this book to my clients
Review: The Mother's Guide to Sex provides pertinent information to mothers and their partners. It covers important issues ranging from conception to the challenge of addressing sexuality issues with teenagers.

The authors devote an entire chapter to how and why sexual desire may decrease as the family grows. After all, low sexual desire is one of women's most frequent concerns.In their casual style, Semans and Winks offer various solutions on how to adjust to these changes; and for those interested, they provide suggestions on how to rekindle passion.

Another chapter describes the special challenges that single mothers may meet. I am not familiar with other books having incorporated this topic, making this Guide to Sex useful for women in a variety of settings.

I recommend the book to anyone considering starting a family and to individuals who already have children.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Required reading for all moms-to-be
Review: This book is a bit hard to find now, but it's worth the effort. It's one of the few books that explains how pregnancy and motherhood may affect the amount of action you see in the bedroom. (Think feast or famine, depending on what stage of pregnancy and motherhood we're talking about.) A must-read for all moms and moms-to-be.
