Passport to Pleasure - book by Simon Spotlight Entertainment - review by Dragon

Passport to Pleasure is one of Laura Corn's newest books. She has currently written eight best selling titles with over two million copies sold. The concept behind all of her books is unique. She creates sealed page seductions for his and her eyes only that are opened one at a time. This book does not deviate from that formula, but focuses on the twist of adding bits of sexual information from all over the world.

The book begins with the table of contents, then moves to the introduction. There are 52 seductions total - 26 for men, 26 for women. Unlike some of her previous books there is not one grand seduction for both eyes at the end of the book.

The introduction is very similar to all of her books. Laura Corn developed the idea for this book after deciding that she wanted to take a vacation to Europe. She also has a team of research assistants to help her with her in her research of sexual seductions around the world. There is a general overview of picking one seduction per week. She indicates that by following the pattern of her seductions you will gradually learn naturally the patterns of respectful, romantic habits that build better sexual relationships. Many of the seductions use some type of prop. Each seduction is labeled with particular icons to help you in your planning. These include - "sun" - plan on going outside, "car" - plan on going somewhere, "meal" - you'll be eating or preparing a meal, "$"- cost ranging from 1-4 dollars, the equivalent of $$$$ meaning over $100. The other icons include one for a birthday, a special day, and a very special day.

I'll give a description of five possible seductions.

#36, Panty Infractions- for her (Russia, France, England: $, sun, car)
- Tatian Golovin who was French created quite a fuss at Wimbledon when her tennis skirt flew up to show just how much of her cheeks were on display. The seduction includes borrowing some tennis rackets, and specifically clothes and going to play tennis with some deliberate eye catching planned. Once "He" catches on to what you're wearing, then you begin to put on a show.

#38, MySexySpace- for her (Europe, $)
- Inspired by a Paris photographer- Uwe Ommer who let his subjects take their own pictures. This is when they feel creative, artistic and happy because they feel they look good. Arrange for a digital camera and tripod, have some fun and start snapping. Recommended to pose in front of a full length mirror. Drop a few around the house over the course of the week. Have the entire collection on your monitor or the bedroom walls.

#6- Satin Strokes- for her (Thailand, USA, $)
- In Thailand there is a national dance that highlights a woman's fingernails. The seduction involves setting a full length mirror in the bedroom, slowly undress wearing at least elbow length gloves and exaggerated movements. Encourage him to show you in the mirror exactly how he likes to masturbate, then take over and finish for him.

#27 The Red bandanna - for him (USA)
- Jeff arrived one night with the smell of cigars on him. When he returned he had a bandanna tied as a mask with a drop of cologne on it. Women are caught up in two popular fantasies here - sex with a stranger and letting the man take charge.

#21 A Lesson from the Master - for him (USA, $$$)
- Hugh Hefner knows how to be a gracious host and how to seduce women. For him, the clothes of love are silk pajamas. This weeks seduction is to buy a pair of silk pajamas. He gets the bottoms, she will get the top. There is more though, take the time to watch a movie that she wants and let the feel of the clothes do it's job. Keep those PJ's on- your woman will get to feel the combination of silk and skin in a very powerful way!

Excited to see a new book from Laura Corn, my first thoughts were how is this different? Is sex really that different around the world? I believe the answer is not really, The book is very similar to Laura's other books, just a new set of seductions. The "travel" connection seems tenuous. I would recommend it if you haven't looked at her work before. I would not recommend it if you still have an unfinished book of seductions around.

When reading these seductions, I had a sense of "not likely." Both Satin Strokes and MySexySpace require a full length mirror. We don't have one, but I don't believe that was included as props. Given my life with children constantly around, I have no idea how I'd arrange a sexy photo session when my husband wasn't around. Even if I truly felt inclined to do so. As for playing tennis, the only courts that I even know of are members only and I do not play tennis as part of my exercise routine.

I did love the details in "A lesson from the Master" and "The Red Bandanna." There was a sense of encouraging the man to slow down and be romantic as well as sexual. I'm leaving them in the book for my husband to find one day.

I love Laura Corn books. I admit though, we haven't really pulled this one out much. Part of it is our life at the moment and the lack of interest in setting scenes and being extra creative. I'm glad to have it, and will hold it for the future.
