Offers female readers advice on enhancing their sex lives, addressing such subjects as how to enjoy the physical pleasures of sex and how womens bodies respond best to sexual stimulation. This description may be from another edition of this product.
As the other reviews show this is a fantastic book with a lot of good information, that is out of print. However, the book has been re-released in paperback as "The Sex You Want: A Lovers' Guide to Women's Sexual Pleasure" So check it out. The art work alone is worth the price of the book.
Tired of Cosmo?

Not for everyone - but for the right ones. If you've read the sex columns in different magazines, they often focus on "wild things". Sex in the air, at sea or on the road. This book changes all that. It deals directly with what's stopping us in bed, and deals with "the male perspective" on sex. Being a man myself, I found that this book revealed more than magazines could ever do. And doing so in a way that made me want to try it out, instead of feeling inadequate as a lover. I passed it on to my girlfriend - and she likes it too! To me it opened up to the fact that we're not supposed to change our partner to our own liking, but stop and think about the concept of "pleasure". Why do anything in bed when it doesn't feel good? This book won't give you an orgasm as soon as you put it down. What it can do is take away the "Cosmo"-filter that's, frankly, not helping anyone. Why read about "wild" sexual confessions when we can't open up to the pleasure of giving and receiving good sex? Even though I've considered myself happy with my sex life, I've also had this nagging thought that everyone's doing it better, hotter, more daringly. Not anymore. The authors have given me a basic knowledge to work from, from a female perspective. And you know what? I like it.
A must for every woman

Excellent book. This book contains information not easily accessable and what most people do not want to discuss, even the family physician. If young women read this book before starting on their sexual journey it would prevent a lot of ignorance and pain, and if the advice is followed, bring them much pleasure. The author is supposed to be bringing out a book on sex for teens - I would love to hear when it will be out.
Women should not settle for less!

This book lets women know the facts about orgasm. Intercourse is not the only way people have sex, but merely one of the many wonderful options. I have a teen and will make sure that she reads this book someday. Changing the way we look at sex will save many relationships. Great job! I hope to see more books and TV or radio appearances. Attention men: Read this book you will not be sorry.
At last, a book on sex that's really useful!

My sister made me buy this book (well, actually, she thought I should get one of those technique manuals but this one appealed to me more) when I complained that my sex life was less than exciting . It was probably the most useful book I've ever read in helping me understand and enjoy myself better. As a bonus, my husband (voluntarily) read the book and said that it opened his eyes to things that he had never thought of before and that I had been having a hard time articulating. I would highly recommend this book for couples since, let's face it, good sex really isn't something that comes naturally, especially in Western society-- there's always something to learn. The Douglass sisters are plain-spoken, straightforward and sensitive in their approach and make a good case for rearranging the way we look at sexual relationships.
