 Dear me, I think I might be gushing... September 6, 2005
8 out of 11 found this review helpful
I'm a bit of a sex nerd; consequently I read a lot of instruction manuals. Of the ones I've seen, Fairy Butch's The Ultimate Guide To Strap-On Sex was the most useful and eye-opening, not just on the subject of strap-ons, but of sex toys in general, genderplay, lube (includes a section rating 30 or so lubes for texture and taste!), and communication.
As another reviewer points out, columns from Butch's stint as a Dear Abby-style advice writer appear throughout--in at least one case, the text from one of these is reprinted almost verbatim pages later in the main text. If I were a regular reader of Butch's columns, I'm sure I'd have a lower opinion of this, but if I haven't seen it, it's new to me. Additionally, sex positions are described rather than illustrated--I found this hot, but some may not.
One more thing to note is the use of pronouns in the book--Butch doesn't seem to go in for the "zhe, hir" style of gender negativity, instead varying the couplings she uses as examples for techniques. Since she presents every gender strapping on and acting as receptive, it occasionally took me a couple read-throughs to determine who was doing what to whom with which organ/device. Overall, however, a fine resource not only for strap-ons, but just for general sexual technique, health, and well-being.
 good guide but could use more drawings July 30, 2004

In 13 chapters Karlyn Lotney, otherwise known as Fairy Butch, gives us a good guide on how to use strapons. The focus is on women so there isn't so much really enough about men to call it "the ultimate". While there are some images there need to be more to help those trying to figure how to use them and especially on the positions you can use because a strapon is never in the same position as biological penis. A good book to help someone start out and feel more comfortable. It even includes very rare topics such as clit pumping. "101 Sex Toys" is a better guide to dildos and the equipment but this is a good solid place to start exploring strapons.
It's good but not...quite...great February 23, 2004

Karlyn Lotney, aka Fairy Butch, has deployed hir extensive experience as a columnist to write this book. I decided to buy the book after spending a weekend reading Fairy Butch archives on http://planetout.com. Sadly, the book didn't go far beyond what I had already read, much of it is reproduced verbatim from hir column. For those of you out there low on cash, I recommend reading hir column archives and forgetting this book. That said, if you aren't low on cash or want a handy reference without having to read multiple screens worth of information it's quite lovely. Illustrations would be useful, though, especially in the discussion of positions, a discussion that I think there could be more of! The main thing I took away from this book was to relax, go for it, don't worry, it'll be excellent. And it was excellent, so it seems to have done its job!

This is the first book I've read that I have learned some neat tricks from. My relationship with my honey was hitting a dry spell and we needed more ideas. The ideas were refreshing, new, and gave a lot of insight. I found myself saying Hallelujah several times. The only part of the book that I disliked was that it didn't tell about rashes and what to do with them. Yet, I would still recommend this book to any couple who want to have fun while "floozing."
WOW!! I loved this book. February 7, 2003

I've read many Ultimate guides to sex and The Ultimate Guide to Strap on Sex is by far the most entertaining, informative, and fun book. I wish it had more pictures, but otherwise I keep this book under my pillow for daily reference!! I can't wait for volume 2 to be published.
