A good read, but not a good sex guide,
By A Customer
This review is from: Guide to Getting It On!: The Universe's Coolest and Most Informative Book about Sex for Adults of All Ages (Paperback)
The Guide is written in a clear, casual style and is peppered with enjoyable quotes from real couples and sex therapists. The line drawings were beautiful. I can honestly say that I curled up and read the 700 page tome like it was light beach reading. It was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. However, I would not buy this book as a sex bible. First, it covers far more about the intricacies of sex as a cultural phenomenon than you want in a book of sex advice and tips. Whole chapters are devoted to such sexual tangents as the role of sex in religion or the history of syphilis. While this is fun reading -- and great for understanding how sex works in an emotional sense -- it takes up room that could be better spent giving more practical tips. For example, the chapter on sex during menstruation: the author spends several pages discussing the history of the development of sanitary napkins and tampons, more discussing the shame or acceptance people feel about menstruation in the workplace, and a few pages musing on whether theories about stress leads to earlier menarche. There are perhaps six lines about sex, to the effect of "Some people like having intercourse during a woman's period. Some don't. Blood washes out of sheets, usually." At the end of the chapter he justifies his ommitance of the discussion of oral sex by joking that anyone who would consider such a thing must be a vampire. There was NO discussion of methods of making sex during a period cleaner or more enjoyable, NO discussion of alternatives to intercourse, NO discussion of potential risks or lack thereof in performing oral sex during the period, etc. That's just one small chapter -- in general, the book was high on interesting fluff but low on useful content. It's a great addition to your bookshelf, but get another book if you want a real guide to sex. As a warning, this book is very clearly written by a straight male and as a result the book is heavily slanted for heterosexual couples. The author does make attempts to be open minded, but rarely includes useful information on lesbian sex. He assumes the reader is in a heterosexual relationship -- if you aren't, you may want to look elsewhere.

Fun but Lite,

This review is from: Guide to Getting It On!: The Universe's Coolest and Most Informative Book about Sex for Adults of All Ages (Paperback)
This is a very low-impact sex instruction book, with more humor than substance, more wit that what-to-do. If you are just beginning your education in this worthy field of study, you could do worse than this one. But if you are truly after some enlightenment and sexual power for your bedroom repertoire, I would point you towards more dynamic fare such as "How to give her Absolute Pleasure," or Tom Leonardi's "Secrets of Sensual Lovemaking," or the excellent videos "New Sex Now" or "New Free Sex" by Clint Arthur.

Very Informative!,
By Barb McNally (Denver Colorado USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Guide to Getting It On!: The Universe's Coolest and Most Informative Book about Sex for Adults of All Ages (Paperback)
Once again, I purchased this book based on the title, but this time, I liked it. The book is well-written and the methods, advice and suggestions were well-researched and I felt it would be very helpful to those in search of answers to the many questions they might have surrounding SEX !!!
