The elusive orgasm
Good for people who've just started to think about/have difficulties with lack of orgasm. Nothing new - if you've been searching for orgasm help for years, look elsewhere.
Easy to read, succinct
Not particularly groundbreaking

Although this book is more geared towards those of us that have difficulties reaching an orgasm, I strongly feel that this book is well qualified for everyone to read. Cass writes in such a way that allows for the reader to get involved, and writes as if she was actually having a conversation with you. She has helped me to embrace my issues which have allowed me to feel comfortable enough to work towards more effective orgasms.
Easy to read and well written, Very informative, Color images for better understanding

If you have never had an orgasm, sometimes have them, use to have them and want to know why you don't now. Get this book! She don't make you feel as if your to blame but that you just forgot to put yourself first. What I found is that if you read the whole thing every part fits you in some way or not at all. Go Get It Now!
Eye opener. Helpful. Covers so many issues. Insightful.

I would recommend this book to others also experiencing orgasm difficulties. This is a detailed and smartly written guide to better understanding what it takes to become fully aroused. If you are open to it, this book could really make a difference.

Mastering your man from head to head
The author could have gone much deeper than just the generic surface. I can see how it would benefit a certain demographic, but it doesn't go beyond taking basics a step further.
Great for women who lack confidence or aren't sure what to do with a naked man.
Not great if you have any experience.

Handjob Handbook
This is a good book for a beginner at handjobs to learn some new techniques. It doesn't have real illustrations or photographs, however, which is kind of a downfall to it. The cover is attractive though, and all the pages within are basically hot pink all throughout.

No Realistic Images

For hand job novices this will provide some new information. If you've given or received a handjob before you probably already know everything this book is going to say.

All in all, this book is a great book for sexual instruction and confidence building. It's full of great techniques and tips for any experienced or unexperienced reader, and it's a great add to any sex education library. It's attractive, made to last, and I know it was written to boost confidence. But I wish there were real pictures, and I wish the banana penis in the book that was meant to demonstrate, was a real picture of a penis.

The Handjob Handbook might be a good book for those who are simply shy or young, but for the average woman/man, this book won't contain enough new information to be worth purchasing. It lacks any diagrams, gives child-like names to the techniques, and doesn't give any techniques that couldn't be achieved with experimenting.
Cute child-like book, good for those who are shy
Most "techniques" are very basic, uses euphemisms, no diagrams

Fun book for couples to bring some new moves into the bedroom. Also a good quick read for someone that has never given a handjob and is ready to safely make your man VERY happy.

If you are interested in learning more about poly, I would say this is your book. It is written by two well practiced individuals that write so harmoniously you'll devour the book just because it reads so well. This book changed my life for the better, and even if you're not poly (everybody is wired differently, there is no right or wrong way), this book can be helpful and at least informational.
Very informative, helpful and thought-provoking.
Sometimes the examples and exercises are silly.

Unleashing Her G-spot Orgasm
A good overview of anatomy and the basic concepts but not overly helpful. It's easy to read and not overly expensive. If you have a few points burning a hole in your pocket and you know nothing of the G-spot, it's probably worth it.
Short read, mostly factual
Somewhat generic, male biased, not confidence building
Rating:

This book is totally worth it because it's very compelling and optimistic. It tells you that orgasms don't have to be complicated, especially G-spot orgasms. Any woman can have a G-spot orgasm (and even squirt!), it's just all in the technique!
It doesn't just focus on sex, it has a large emotional element. It's very simple to follow.
It should be longer, because it's so good!

Sextrology
Astrology is a very tricky topic to write about as there is a great deal of information out about it. Cox and Starsky wrote this book so that those people who are already familiar with astrology will be able to broaden their knowledge base, so that they can better help with relationship astrology.
This is NOT the book for you if you are looking for a light, fun read, or something with entertainment value.

I wasn't really expecting this book to be serious. I decided to get it because I thought it would be amusing and it is interesting to read. I was disappointed that my sign/gender did not describe me at all. I do think it could be a fun thing to pick up and read if you're interested in astrology.

All in all, I didn't find the book to be as sexy and fun as I expected. And while culture IS sexy, continuously losing track of what the authors were talking about (Galatea who?) was a bit of a turnoff. For me.
Clear and appealing division, tons of amusing side notes.
A little TOO brainy, even for a curious reviewer who mostly associates with programmers.

I don't feel like this book pulled me in, I never found myself thinking about wanting to read it in my next spare moment of time. There was information that caught my attention but most of it was pushing to get through it. I love to read so it's always especially disappointing when I have to force myself to finish a book. In my opinion, a book can be defined as good when you forget most everything else in the world while reading it. One that holds your attention.

After I read this book, I felt like I would never get the time back that it took to read it. I feel that there is much more detailed information in most of the anal toy reviews here at EF. Not to mention, the vast information here in the Forums. This book in my opinion dumbed down anal play and sex. The only good thing in my opinion abut this book, is that it is a nice, simple, basic intro to anal play. And I mean intro.

A Pumper's Handbook
If you plan on purchasing a penis pump, then a good instruction manual is a necessity. If your pump did not come with one included, then this may be a purchase you should make. For most users of penis pumps, this booklet will be an unnecessary purchase, as it includes more pictures of naked men than useful/interesting information about using pumps.
Covers the basics of proper pump use, lots of pictures of hot guys.
Not discreet, not a lot of useful information.

If you like pumping pictures, this book may be for you. It is not very informative, the information is repetitive and minimal. The Handbook is more of a soft core porn picture book than a learning experience, I was very disappointed and expected to learn a few pointers or other tips to try with my husband. There are a few good pages, but overall....grab a Playgirl--it is more satisfying and informative!!

Big Book Of Sex Toys
This is the perfect intro course on sex toys—it could be called [italic|Sex Toys 101]. It has basic info on the human anatomy, sex toy types, uses, safety, etc.—all presented in a simple and fun manner. To keep it interesting, the book is colourful and visual. A minor issue is a lack of variety in the photos. What this book will do for beginners is give a fun intro to sex toys and help them see what it is THEY want (or don’t want) from a sex toy, and just for that, this book is great.
Straightforward, helpful, educational, fun, colourful
Variety (of people in photographs), missing a follow-up for more advanced users

The Big Book of Sex Toys is the only manual needed if you want to know everything there is to know about adult toys.

It is recommended for anyone looking for more information on sex toys, lubricants, and the cleaning and care of adult products.

Also keep in mind that the covers are not very discreet and neither is the inside of the book.

If you can get past the only-heterosexual couples (which was not the choice of the author), then this book is great. It has a lot of basic information and would be a great gift for a friend new to toys; however, there is also some information that I wasn't aware of, so it would be great for more experienced people as well. You really can't go wrong with this book.

Anal Pleasure & Health
When I bought this book I was excited to learn about anal sensuality beyond the narrow scope of anal sex. I wasn't disappointed. Although the 4th edition of [italic|Anal Pleasure and Health] was published in 2010, I feel like the information is still relevant three years later. I was able to explore anal sexuality while receiving helpful suggestions for having a relaxed, healthy anus.

Aside from a [italic|few] chapters that touched on actual orgasm, with a [italic|few] good line drawings, the book does not live up to its promise to help women “become orgasmic for a lifetime.” It is biased and not factually based. There are better books on orgasm without the agenda and fierce dislike of men, misunderstanding of long term relationships and biases against heterosexuality this book betrays.
Some good diagrams and some descriptions of different types of orgasms.
Biased against men, heterosexual women, monogamy, anti-intimacy, not about orgasm in most places.

I am a poor reader and I made it through the book in just a few days with just reading a little each night. Let me tell you, when my wife's eyes rolled around in her head ten times before they just flew out of her, I knew that this book was going to go in my stack of books.

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.
It gives you a very in-depth read about touch, sound and light.
