Customer Reviews

Disappointing - a very basic primer
From the description, this book sounds like it would be filled with interesting and different information. Instead, it was rather vanilla. You could find all this information just by walking into a toy shop. Nothing new, nothing different, nothing adventurous. Too bad, I was hoping it really would have some new perspectives. The person who wrote it clearly wanted something accessible to the mainstream, but the mainstream probably won't be buying this book and leaving it on their coffee table. I was disappointed - the info like "men will enjoy sex more if they know a woman is totally into it also" is obvious - it is true for women too! The author's attempt to make it more racy by calling it the new "joy of **" (well, another word for sex that starts with an "f") was funny, but other than her occassional crass language, there was nothing saucy or new here. It is probably a good basic primer for any woman who has never bought a toy, her sex is usually missionary, and she is now curious to explore her sexuality, and is written in a humorous and clear manner.

A comprehensive book for its size.
This book is the ideal book every couple should have.Its covers so many topics.Simple,easy to understand format and a few detailed diagrams help this book.

No matter how adventurous you are or aren't then this book will give you ideas to add to your repetoire.Couples can read this book together and gain something from it.This book makes an ideal gift for a spouse(who needs a few hints)or friends.
You will be thanked for buying this book as a gift.
