What no one else will tell you.
* How to read her body signals. The difference between vulgar and arousing language. Methods for lasting longer. The fine line between a friendly look and a hostile ogle. How exercise affects your lovemaking.
* These are things every man should know. But who teaches such things? Not your doctor, not your father, not your best friend and certainly not a magazine filled with naked women. The solution? Sex: A Man's Guide, the first comprehensive book about sex written entirely for men, spoken in their own voices, covering what a real man wants to know and not what one expert thinks is good for you.
* Inside you'll encounter not only the most authoritative advice on more than 130 sex topics, but also the voices of thousands of men just like you. You'll learn the tricks of enlightened males about healthy, happy sex and how it's far easier to achieve than you think. Some of what you'll encounter:
Afterplay: Why you should stay awake a little longer after sex/page 189
Positions: Dozens of couplings that can turn lovemaking into a dance/page 251
Harassment: Where to draw the line, professionally and socially/page 456

A Good Guide,
By A Customer
This review is from: Sex: a Man's Guide (Mass Market Paperback)
I bought this as a gift for my boyfriend and read it before wrapping it up. It covers a wide variety of topics. Even if you think you know it all about sex, you could still learn something from this book. Probably the best part of the book for me, being a woman, was the suprisingly thorough guide of "What Men Want." It was very informative.The only reason I didn't give the book 5 stars was because it wasn't thorough enough, although it did have a variety of topics, there wasn't really in depth information I was looking for. I would still recommend this book, though.

One Seriously Great Holiday Gift!,

This review is from: Sex: a Man's Guide (Mass Market Paperback)
I first became aware of this book when Tommy Lee, of all people, held it up on MTV and said it was his favorite book. After reading it, I know why! This is a great tome to share with the man you love--perfect Christmas stocking fodder! It will provoke endless discussions and endless ... experimentations. I cannot recommend it highly enough!

Breadth, not depth,
By A Customer
This review is from: Sex: a Man's Guide (Mass Market Paperback)
This book covers a wide variety of topics. That's good if you want to know a little bit about just about everything, but I would greatly prefer more expansive coverage of some of the more interesting aspects of sexuality. For example, the book covers "opening lines," sperm banks, infidelity, back pain, pillow talk, and several other less-than-riveting topics while giving short shrift to aphrodisiacs, pheromones, and techniques of increasing sexual pleasure. Besides being maddeningly superficial, some of the information is just plain wrong. For example, the authors mention using wild yams as an aphrodisiac. That's ludicrous. Apparently the authors' knowledge on this matter is not up-to-date, because the old supposition that yams contain a chemical (diosgenin) which can be converted into progesterone in the body has been refuted by countless medical doctors and biochemists. Even if such an endogenous transformation could be effected, progesterone is not a hormone that can increase a man's libido! If I want to hear groundless myths, I can speak with my locker room buddies; when I'm paying for a book, I expect facts instead of a rehash of tired old myths.
