Guides to better sex |
|
|
Review by: NekomataLotus The content was very readable and easy to understand. It wasn't stuffed with technical terms, and it wasn't crude; just full of helpful hints to spice up your sex life. |
|
|
Review by: vagabond Urban Tantra is an excellent guide to practicing tantra in the twenty-first century. This book will speak to people from all walks of life and give everyone something new and amazing to add to their sex routine. This is the kind of book you can read 100 times, and still come to new levels of understanding with each read. |
|
|
Review by: Dame Demi The Little Bit Naughty Book of Sex Positions is "little" in format only. This book is very well presented and packs a ton of useful and exciting information between its tiny covers! |
|
|
Review by: Dame Demi Lovers' Weekend is a nice gift book, but rather unimaginative in terms of spicing up your sex life. It does contain a great section on kissing! |
|
|
Review by: Dame Demi 269 Amazing Sex Games is an affordable little book of sexual activities with a great range of choices for all comfort-levels. Some of the suggestions are more fun and innovative than others, but this book is likely to contain something to appeal to most couples. |
|
|
Review by: puppyandkitty I would never recommend this book to a man, especially one trying to find himself in the sexual world. It would be the first I would recommend to a woman for its detail and appreciation of the subject. |
|
|
Review by: Lollie I don't love this book, especially as a stand alone volume. I think that with deeper discussion of sexuality, especially across cultures and throughout time, this book can be a valuable resource. The reader must be committed to an open minded reading and analysis to really benefit from this book. |
|
|
Review by: Dame Demi The French Maid is a good choice for the more timid or under-equipped, who want to seduce their men through suggestive narratives; however, it also offers some great suggestions for fantasy scenarios for the more adventurous and prepared! |
|
|
Review by: Dame Demi The Ethical Slut is an excellent book for anyone practicing, thinking about practicing, or just curious about non-monogamy and polyamory as a way of life. |
|
|
Review by: Dame Demi I think The Fantasy Book would make a lovely gift, or would greatly enhance the mood of a romantic and sensual night with your lover. |
|
|
Review by: fire45 It is a book for those wanting to learn more about being a lesbian and how to do lesbian type things. This is not a book for those wanting to see sex positions, and learn more about making sex more fun and interesting. |
|
|
Review by: Miss Lizbet The information in this book is concisely organized and presented, and gives very practical details and advice to the aspiring sex goddess (or god). Cox's book gives the reader a solid foundation on which to build their dream house of Sexy. |
|
|
Review by: Domina Doll Recommended for anyone wanting to learn more about sex toys and how to use them. Fun, playful, insightful and inspiring! The authors' enthusiasm for their subject matter and passion to share and educate others on the joys of self-pleasure makes this book a winner. |
|
|
Review by: BlueEyedBitch Supersex features some incredible photography and is very well written however if you are looking for a sex tip and sex help book that really goes beyond common sense [open discussions with your partner etc] and offers suggestions on how to really spice up your love life than this is not the book for you. However if you are looking for a book with EXCELLENT photography that just also happens to have some basic easy to read information about sex then consider this a good bargain. |
|
|
Review by: Foxxy Kitty The Guide to Getting It On is the Bible of human sexuality; no joke! You will find yourself having a blast reading this book with its witty style, surprisingly fast-paced read, despite it being quite a large book, and amusing pictures. Best of all: it releases expanded and updated editions every two years, adding more fun and flavor every time. |
|
|
Review by: ScottA An excellent book on both cunnilingus and (a bit of) female sexuality. Ian does a great job explaining both why and how you should make cunnilingus a part of your sex life. It's on my essential sex reference shelf, and I recommend it to any interested couple (or couple with an interested party). |
|
|
Review by: Devilbluedress Excellent book that covers a wide variety of topics while emphasizing that bottoming is about your own sexual power and needs. |
|
|
Review by: Layla D'Rosa Not for serious food-lovers. A very basic introduction to common aphrodisiacs, and a few palatable recipies. Buy it for your coffee table, not the kitchen or bedroom. |
|
|
Review by: Anica A great introduction to Kama Sutra teachings, but not a great "bedside companion". If you are looking for a book to teach you new positions, this is not a good book for that purpost. |
|
|
Review by: MissKati 10,000 Ways to Say I Love You is a great book for every couple to own for their everyday purposes. Consider it the cliff notes version of how to have a successful relationship. |
|
|
Review by: Cezium The actual presentation of the book is done well, and it is very hot to look at, but instead of making it your ultimate guide to lesbian sex, it might be better off sitting on your coffee table. |
|
|
Review by: fire45 I totally recommend this book to those who want to learn new things, or just want to see some sexy pictures and interesting positions. There are pictures that show a way to hit anyone's sweet spot, so that everyone can get something out of this book, and I hope that they do. |
|
|
Review by: Lexie Sexington Whether you're interested in masturbation, partner sex, BDSM, or even where to find potential lovers, you'll find the answer in this book. |
|
|
Review by: ScottA Even with its shortcomings, I would highly recommend The Adventurous Couple's Guide to Strap-On Sex for people who are curious about strap-ons, especially if they're not sure how interested their partner is. |
|
|
Review by: Desdimona Throughout the course of the book, Blue also provides useful information on sex toys, strap-ons, cunnilingus, the male prostate, fisting, the clitoris, Kegel exercises, and general female anatomy. |
|
|
Review by: Backword Odder I would recommend this book to anyone. Whether you feel like being a little adventurous or are just looking for something you haven't tried yet, The Ultimate Guide to Sexual Fantasy has an idea for you. |
|
|
Review by: Betty Rocket For women, this book guides you through the simple ways to assure yourself the "grand finale" you are capable of achieving. Gentlemen, do not be discouraged. There is a chapter dedicated solely to you, heaping on advice about penetration and how to achieve your own mega "O." |
|
|
Review by: Mamastoys I didn't know that the US has some states where sex toys were illegal and the way around this is using the term "novelties." This chapter also covers the topics of various materials toys are made of, the difference between them, and definitions of the different types of sex toys. |
|
|
Review by: RedHotHippieChick The best thing about the book, however, is the way the information is delivered. It's like having one of those tell-me-your-secrets conversations with your very best friend. It's funny and fresh, and presents the point of view that sex is healthy, natural in all its forms, and restorative to the soul. |
|
|
Review by: Leah Taking the Fall is the perfect position for a woman to be able to play with herself with her fingers or with a vibrator, while giving the man perfect access to all of the fun parts. That is definitely one of my new favorite positions. |
|
|
Review by: Tiny There is a great sensitivity throughout to folks' various desires and experiences around fisting, including those who have had less-than-positive experiences with the act. This strikes me as a necessary approach in the genre of sex books, so I was pleased to see the deftness with which Addington handled the diversity of meanings and emotions that can attach to heavy penetration. |
|
|
Review by: Candi The Fantasy Book also offers a subtle way to suggest fantasies if the reader is not an up-front person; there is a ribbon marking the book and the two writers suggest leaving it bookmarked and on the bed. |
|
|
Review by: Devilbluedress This book is just hot! I loved reading every single bit of it. Putting it down in the middle of a story was something I wasn't going to do easily. Often after reading several stories, I only had one goal in mind, lots of wonderful sex! |
|
Educational and Informative |
|
|
Review by: Dame Demi Sexual Positions Book II contains a wide array of explicit photographs depicting a variety of sexual positions. Unfortunately, the book was published in 1985 and is extremely dated both in its photography and its information. |
|
|
Review by: Dame Demi Sexual Positions Book I was probably an explicit and cutting-edge guide to sex 30-some years ago. Today, it is dated enough to be humorous, and contains little of real value except some explicit photographs of different sexual positions. |
|
|
Review by: Dame Demi 500 Great Dates is a very useful book packed full of ideas for every type of date imaginable. It also addresses concerns like how and when to prepare for the date, problems you might encounter, and dating on a budget. This one is definitely a winner for the price! |
|
|
Review by: lolife This is a well-thought out and informative book for anyone who feels that non-monogamy may be something that they would like to think about adding to their life. |
|
|
Review by: Layla D'Rosa This is quite possibly the very best book on the topic of women's sexuality, anatomy and sexual experience ever written. Kerner provides a chivalrous and sensual approach to pleasuring a woman. She Comes First ought to be required reading for any present or future lover. A most enjoyable read. |
|
|
Review by: Francis Gray A Pumper's Handbook is aimed at the beginner but has information for those of us more advanced at this activity. It proved to be a great resource. |
|
|
Review by: Phoenixrising Violet Blue does an excellent job of presenting the porn film industry in layman's terms. She covers everything from "How to Watch Porn" to "Safer Sex in Porn." With over 300 movie reviews broken into different genres, this is a must read for anyone new to porn. |
|
|
Review by: ScottA The Lowdown on Going Down is an excellent guide for someone who wants to perfect their cunnilingus technique. Highly recommended - she'll thank you for it. |
|
|
Review by: Duchess von Kink Some of the suggestions are how to move, while others ask you to focus on a certain body part of your lover's or a particular sensation inside your own. I found The Kama Sutra for 21st Century Lovers to be an excellent mix of a bedside sexual position guide and a tool to help bring more sensuality to relationships. |
|
|
Review by: Blue Eyed Betty The Complete Idiot's Guide to Amazing Sex isn't written for idiots, but it is a really basic overview of all things to do with sex. Tips, tricks and down to earth advice on all things sexy fill the book from beginning to end. |
|
|
Review by: Naughty Student This book disappointed me immensely, mostly because I was expecting a book on sexual tips and new ideas. It simply explained things that you learn in sex education in high school. |
|
|
Review by: Desdimona The authors have a highly accessible writing style, and do a good job of combining scientific research on female sexuality with centuries-old Taoist wisdom. |
|
|
Review by: ThePornLibrarian I think that this book could be very helpful to someone who knows nothing about the adult industry and is just beginning to further explore their own sexuality. |
|
|
Review by: Jaimee23 The book kept my attention with such good humor. If I was going through a breakup, it'd be like that one friend who can bring light to the situation. The book also has great illustrations to portray some of the terms, which I found to be entertaining. |
|
|
Review by: eurydice I was frustrated by a stream of "women are as _____ as men" similes, and especially one not-so-helpful statement explaining that women love women like men love women. I can't support the idea of putting a ruler to my sexuality just to measure up with the boys... This would be a great read for a woman who's just beginning her sexual exploration. |
|
|
Review by: Michael Wiersing Sudau Overall the book is quite plain and easy to read. Although it isn't detailed and profound enough for a medical professional, it certainly contains all the information any woman needs to know in order to have a healthy and enjoyable sexual life. |
|
|
Review by: Insatiable Lez One of the first things I did when I received this product was to listen to the CD since I was hoping to use it with my lover to enhance our sexual passion. |
|
|
Review by: All Smiles Here Overall, I think this would be a great book for women and men alike. I believe that a man could learn several things about the difficulties a woman has dealing with undergarments. |
|
|
Review by: Aliki The book is very intuitive with detailed chapters covering partner-interactive body cleansing and mind preparation, different body area massage techniques, setting the mood with lighting suggestions, scent suggestions, and even kissing, foreplay, and afterplay ideas I've not thought of. |
|
|
Review by: Miss Delicious Because this book devotes only a small section to each topic, I think it is best for an absolute beginner or the slightly seasoned amateur. Even if you're not sure you'd be into pony, rope, or gender play, it's worth checking out this book just to get a better idea of what other people love to do to get off! |
|
|
Review by: Chris I respected Candida's motives for her work; sex advice, porn production, and so on. I also agreed with many things she said and suggested. It just, eventually, became too much for me. |
|
|
Review by: Josmoseph This book, by Dr. Taylor, moves a couple from basic education of what an orgasm really is to complete participation in extending and then expanding that orgasm. |
|
|
Review by: Always Aroused Girl Sex Parties 101 is the definitive guide both to attending and organizing your very own orgy... The book takes you through all the stages and considerations in planning a sex party |
|
|
Review by: Sinskitty How to Be a Bedroom Goddess is a real treat. It provides helpful nudges for those who aren't yet fully open (pardon the pun) to themselves or their partner. |
|
|
Review by: Megan The book is also full of tons of examples of one-liners to get your started, including role playing and communicating fantasies. You can play innocent or try your hand at being the boss. The plus for a beginner is that the scripted one-liners are not particularly filthy. |
|
|
Review by: Twitch Cage writes humorously, seriously, in-your-face, down-to-earth, and motherly all wrapped up in one. She talks to the reader, not at her, avoiding the in a "I've been to Gay Mecca, USA and had sex with a lot of women and you don't know anything" sort of tone. |
|
|
Review by: Timaree For the women for whom this book is intended, this may be a life-changing experience, getting the inside scoop on a world into which they could never dare contemplate entering alone. Perhaps they will feel empowered to seek out new sexual frontiers and find betterment in their personal lives. |
|
|
Review by: Roxanne Rhoads This cute little book is packed full of 116 tips from masturbation to de-stressing and regrouping yourself before sex. This little book can be read in one sitting, or you can take your time and check out just a few tips at a time so you can try them out, come back read some more then take those ones for a test drive. |
|
|
Review by: Passionnow4u This book is great for those cost effective individuals. It had a wide variety of activities ranging from a couple of bucks to tons of dough if you really want to show out....It is a great book to read alone or you can make it as a couple experience (that's spending time together...right?). |
|
|
Review by: Shasta Gibson The book is laid out into half a dozen useful sections; they cover everything from "What Is The G-Spot?" to using sex toys in order to achieve maximum pleasure. It also contains an easy to understand diagram of the female anatomy. |
|
|
Review by: K. Mummenschantz At first glance, the promise of Nicci Talbots' Orgasms: A Sensual Guide to Female Ecstasy is not unlike the breathless exclamations of glossy women's magazines. This photo-heavy guide is chock-full of shiny, well-lit, and meticulously styled hetero couples getting amorous alongside bite-sized paragraphs about dildos, tantric sex, and spooning. |
|
|
Review by: Essin' Em I might recommend this to a therapist, particularly one who specializes in relationship or sex therapy, mostly to look at the possible scenarios that might occur. I don’t think this book would be a huge amount of help to a random long term couple im |
|
|
Review by: Candi Taormino doesn't just describe the physical aspects of sex (though she does devote chapters to anatomy, science and how orgasms work), but also the ideology behind sex. She discusses the bond between partners, what sex means, and how to have an understanding and deep respect for the human body and what it's capable of. |
|
|
Review by: Essin' Em 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! |
|
|
Review by: Essin' Em This is the first book I've ever read that really straddled the gap between the traditional mainstream, pop culture sex books, and the academics texts. It doesn't matter if this is your first attempt to induce a female orgasm or if you are like the energizer bunny, this book will appeal to the wide variety of women who love and want female orgasms... |
|
|
Review by: Chris Wild Side Sex: The Book of Kink opens a window, or dungeon bars, to the world of SM, D/s, M/s, fetishism, and every kinky thing in between...Midori teases and massages endless components of the kink world through her sexy words |
|
|
Review by: Tiny ...if you can endure or even appreciate these stylistic quirks, you will be well rewarded. Screw the Roses, Send Me the Thorns is an absolutely comprehensive book on BDSM...This is a book you don't want to pass up. |
|
|
Review by: Essin' Em Each chapter covers a different subject, from oral sex on a woman to a threesome with two guys, and vaginal intercourse to spanking... |
|
Erotic fiction |
|
|
Review by: ThePornLibrarian I’d definitely recommend this anthology. Through reading, I’ve learned more about myself and am reminded that Lust often transcends gender, a lot like love. |
|
|
Review by: Bree23 This is a fun, WATERPROOF book that unites its stories with the element of water in a cohesive way, while exploring the width and depth of human relationships and the variety in which they exist. |
|
|
Review by: Agneta She's on Top is a hot, fast read that will fire your dreams and your imagination. Kinky women will love it, but so will vanilla girls who like to get creative now and again. |
|
|
Review by: Twist Shimmy This compilation contains many domination fantasies, as well as a few lesbian encounters, various threesomes, and exhibitionist sex. For the most part, the stories are well-written and very arousing. One or two have language issues that might throw the reader out of the mood. Three stars of five for the language and overall lack of variation in the collection. |
|
|
Review by: Desdimona The characters in this anthology are three-dimensional, fully human women who are very much in touch with their sexuality--it is a highly arousing, life-affirming, sex-positive collection. |
|
|
Review by: Pocket Merlin The loose descriptions heightens the erotic element for me. I would recommend this for fantasy readers who want to spice up their imaginations, and their nightlife. |
|
|
Review by: Destri A great book for beginners and for people who are not really in to reading. Very helpful when it comes to learning about erotic literature and art. Leaves a person unfulfilled when it comes to wanting to read full stories. |
|
|
Review by: Essin' Em If you're looking for flowery words about love, womanly blossoms, people bound with desire and all that, then this is not what you set out to find. However, if you want a hot, spicy, ovaries to the wall book that provides bondage stories that that are bound to set your clit on fire (well, at least some of them; no anthology is going to bat 100%), then this is the book for you. |
|
|
Review by: Sienna Packed with a diverse range of downright naughty stories, these 208 pages will definitely make it a night to remember. Trust me; you'll only need a night once you start this steamy piece. I started reading it in the afternoon on the couch and found myself in the bedroom at night with my trusty vibrator at the ready. |
|
|
Review by: Timaree Upon first receiving the book, I opened to a random page and read. I found myself engrossed in a lascivious tale of an airport security employee taking great liberties while searching a hapless young woman. The writing was quality; the vocabulary was hot instead of silly or clinical; the power dynamic was sensationally sexy. |
|
|
Review by: ~*Andy Boi*~ From the description of what they are wearing, to the wetness that lies beneath, to the moans that are expressed on their way to achieving total climax, this heart pounding book is great for both individuals and couples. Whether you are reading to pass the time, or to really get you in the mood, this book has it all! |
|
|
Review by: cp henrie In my opinion, marketing the book as Hot Lesbian Erotica was nothing short of false advertising. Perhaps the collection should have been titled Political Lesbian Erotica, or Erotic Stories You Can Read at Your Next Party So You & All of Your Friends Can Make Fun of It. |
|
|
Review by: Vivi Some stories have a slight artistic flavor which make them interesting, but rarely reach any point of sexual tension. Others are obviously written by people who have no idea what their talking about or were written for some strange form of shock value that I don't understand. |
|
|
Review by: Michael Wiersing Sudau Reading "The Catalyst" I would think that every reader can find in the collection what he or she is looking for. |
|
|
Review by: Michael Wiersing Sudau In fact the whole book is very enjoyable when you like to read a text that goes deeper than the normal SM-novel, and which in turn also demands a greater effort from the part of the reader. |
|
|
Review by: LimeGreen If you are the vanilla type, steer clear of this collection, but if you would like to take a walk on the kinky wild side, and don't mind a few hookers, this may indeed be just what you have been looking for. Or if you happen to enjoy short stories with sex thrown in, this would strike your fancy just |
