The Hot Woman's Handbook - book discontinued by Simon & Schuster Books - review by RosesThorns

The Hot Womans Handbook: The Cake Guide to Female Sexual Pleasure (formerly titled "A piece of Cake") rocked my socks. This book is full of great info, light humor and is reader friendly. It was written by Melinda Gallagher, M.A. and Emily Scarlet Kramer. Copyright 2005, Chapter Opener graphics by Emily Scarlet Kramer and Aron Wahl, Illustrations by John Norton.

The Hot Woman's Handbook has 14 chapters, which are broken up into 3 parts, along with acknowledgments, Resources, and an Index. At the beginning of the book you will find "The Cake Philosophy: The World According to Cake" which is a great introduction to this lovely book.

"The World According to Cake"
"Women today are leading vibrant and diverse sexual lives. We are evolving in our relationship and our careers, entertaining a never-ending variety of fantasies and realizing pleasure-filled adventures. A distinct and powerful female sexual culture is emerging wherein women are more satisfied and in control than ever before..."

With Chapters like "From birth to Babe" "Dirty Talkin'" There is a lot of info to be found.

The Chapters are broken up into three sections:
Part I - On Your Own
From Birth to Babe
Rock you body and reap the rewards
Play Solitaire
It's a vibe thing
Scream if you want to
Part II - Let's Get it On

I plan to pass this book on to a good female friend of mine who always has questions for me about sex and what may or may not be normal, or ok, and who wants to come out of her sexual shell. I am hoping she will enjoy it as much as I have.

A great book. A keeper in my library of "adult books". I have managed to keep a few friends from stealing it, and I am sad that it has been discontinued.
