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.

The strength of this book is its sociological perspective. This isn't just a recipe book. Marshall McLuhan once said, "I don't know who it was that discovered water, but it certainly wasn't a fish." The Douglasses have stepped outside their world to look back at what our expectations are and how the male perspective has shaped them. Fortunately, we may leave the male perspective in its fish bowl and adventure into a world free of patriarchal dicta. Brava, mujeres, y muchas gracias!
This book rocks! April 18, 2001

The authors have a refreshing collective voice, and it's so great to finally be encouraged, rather than be told the usual statistic, 'only 30% of women have orgasms-- you should just be content as you are.' I am so thankful that I found this book by chance; I'm buying copies for friends already.
Tired of Cosmo? January 12, 2000

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.

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.
