Educational and informative sex books for making your sex better

Apparently sex in the 21st century is dull, boring, and lacks any creativity. Does the thought of doing something new and different scare you to death? Do you absolutely hate reading? You might like this, then. However, after "reading" (because there's barely anything to read here) this book and fighting off of the urge to fall asleep in it, I'm highly certain that just about anyone out there has more interesting sex than this book contains. At least it won't waste much of your time. Read more

The Position Of the Day Playbook is moderately more useful than its predecessor. It actually provides positions that are physically possible, and has SOME slight information about them, albeit more humorous than useful. It is definitely a fun book through which to browse, though! Read more

Literate, intelligent, witty, and irreverent, The Smart Girl's Guide to the G-Spot conveys in-depth information about a woman's anatomy, the mechanics of arousal and orgasm, and the wide variety of ways by which women can be pleasured. Read more

I would have liked to see more things you can do with your hand while using your tongue. Overall for a good anatomy lesson short of "A" and "U" spot this is a good book. Kerner explains the female genitalia in much more detail than another book I've read. Read more

The Ultimate Guide to Oral Sex contains some useful information, though it is clouded by a very opinionated writer. I felt like the whole thing was just so she could tell people the "right" way to perform oral sex on a guy. She does not have any information about safe sex, either, so I would recommend beginners or those curious about the subject to look for something much more factual and less opinionated. This guide is definitely aimed towards those of us who have a "love mound" as well. Read more

This book is great for someone who is just getting introduced to a D/S relationship, and wants to know the basics of how a relationship works and the needs of the bottom. Read more

If you have had sex more then fingers on your hand, and you have talked to your partner enough to know his name; you will not learn anything new. This book is written for 8th graders, and they are not old enough to be on this site. Read more

In closing I would just like to say that this book is totally worth it for the rookies of sex. If you are a seasoned veteran and just want a little bit of a brush up, I would say go for it or you might want to go with something that is a bit more challenging. The book itself is a very easy read, which for some may make it a dull read, as it may not hold the attention of the reader for very long. Read more

Suggested positions specifically for women to come to orgasm. The "for him" side is really a "for her" as well, as pretty much penetration feels wonderful for men no matter what. The photographs make it very simple to see how the position works. Read more

Half of this book is an amazing workout guide for your tongue and lips. Half of it is an immature giggle-fest. Feel free to skip those chapters, but do not skip this book! You'll feel your lip and tongue strength increase with just a bit of attention, and your oral dexterity will increase with it. The good chapters of this book are a one-on-one session with a speech pathologist---for only $10---and you and your partner will greatly enjoy the benefits. Read more

The "Little Bit Naughty Book of Sex Positions" ends up being a cheap little book that will provide some inspiration for you to try new sex positions. It's not perfect, but it's inexpensive and includes some decent information. Read more

I ♥ Female Orgasm is the kind of book public schools - in an ideal world - would send budding adolescents home with in addition to their Kotex and shaving cream samples. Solot and Miller take exploration of the female body and its orgasmic potential beyond vague cliches and daunting medical diagrams into the realm of the day to day. In an empathetic and clear voice, this book articulates a framework of accurate information on diverse topics to build upon for the rest of one's sexual career. Read more

Consider Best Sex Writing 2010 and other books in the series like a coffee table books. The stories and essays should get your mind in motion and spark thoughtful conversations about sexuality between yourself and others. Arousal is just a side effect. Read more

This well written book is one of the first “Overground Books” to discuss, in depth, the D/S, M/s, BDSM Play with no judgment. It defines commonly used terms and phrases used in Sensation and Rough Play and even goes into Sex Magic and introduces some Tantric Principles. It is not the end all or be all of this Lifestyle, but is a good introduction or useful as an “explanation” for those who misunderstand the reasons some choose this as part or all of their lives. Read more

This could be a cute little gift for a friend, but most positions are indecipherable. The characters illustrating each position are almost stick people and we couldn't tell whose legs were whose, so actually trying out the position is often impossible. Some poses are innovative, but doing it on a hot air balloon just isn't natural or realistic at all. Read more

While I feel this book would be a nice gift for a hetero (and relatively conservative and/or vanilla) couple for their wedding, or maybe for your parents, but as a student of sexology, I can't truly endorse it...It's very pretty though, really! Read more

It has been said and said again, but this is one of those books that everyone should own at least one copy of. Really! Are you a fisting fiend? Or maybe you're terrified to death of even accidentally touching your booty in the shower? This book is honestly perfect for both audiences and everything in between and beyond. Just about everyone can learn something from Morin, whether you enjoy anal pleasure or not. Read more

Despite the fact that I was hoping for more queer content, I was extremely pleased with Sweet Life. While most of the stories were quite short, all of the characters were fully-fleshed and not just simply names attached to kinky actions. Even without any explicitly gay or lesbian stories, I believe that Sweet Life offers enough variety in its kinks and characters to offer something for everybody. Read more

Who doesn't want to know how to make huge messes in the bed? This book seemed like it would be a wealth of information when it comes to female ejaculation but it doesn't seem to take it seriously. There's too much hippie stuff. The book is incredibly repetitive. "Don't be afraid of peeing!" It's also written for someone who has never touched their vagina, has no clue what a G-spot is, is incredibly timid, and doesn't understand things the first 50 times. Read more

I wouldn't buy this book again. You can find anything in it online and generally with more attractive models. If you're looking for acrobatics and sensual pictures, look somewhere else. Read more

The Power of Wow is a great book for any woman looking for a little refresher in feeling confident. In a way that magazine articles can't, the author takes readers on a journey of self-discovery and sensuality. Read more

I wouldn't ever reference this book for a paper in class, but for a random straight girl looking to get in on some cunt action, this is definitely a very informative guide. She covered fingering, finger fucking, oral sex, anal sex, and toys, toys, toys, all with awesome pictures of plastic dolls demonstrating. A little blasphemous, yes. Hilarious, without a doubt! Read more

Looking for a fun way to read up on new and exciting sex positions? With loads of positions for any couple in any situation, Sadie Allison's book has got you covered. With fun and detailed illustrations and tips for cowgirls and cowboys, this little book is sure to become a favorite. Read more

Beginners will enjoy Mindori's first two sections of the book, which include safety, rope care/maintenance and other important aspects that partners will enjoy reading. Be warned, however, positions in the book are not meant for the faint-of-heart! My partner and I are fairly inflexible and had difficulty bending our bodies into the pictured positions. Overall, this book is highly informative - not to mention that the pictures are gorgeous! Read more

This book can be helpful for a couple in a rut. It can spark some ideas to inspire couples to keep their sexual activity as a big part of the intimacy of their relationship. This is NOT a book about finding new positions or trying new adventures for more advanced sexual exploration. It's geared more towards a couple who needs help exploring sex together, giving them basic ideas and simple activities to get started on a path of sensual exploration with each other. Read more

The Best Sex Positions Ever is a good introductory book for those looking to spice up their sex lives a bit without getting too wild. It is quite lovely to look at, and would be ideal for browsing as a couple. Read more
