Product Description

From Amazon.com

Good Vibrations is a bright, convivial, women-owned sex-toy store in San Francisco, where customers of both genders and all sexual orientations feel welcome. Their book is as candid, upbeat, and friendly as the store. It is filled with information that customers ask for most frequently, tips for enhancing your sex life, and reviews of a variety of sex toys. Good Vibrations believes that "there's more sexual pleasure available than most people experience" and "achieving this pleasure should not be difficult, dangerous, or expensive."

This is a sex manual of a special sort. It starts with the basics ("Sexual Anatomy 101," "Communications," "Masturbation") aimed at teaching the reader to receive and give pleasure. Other chapters ("Lubrication," "Creative Touching," "Oral Sex," "All About Vibrators," "Fantasies") describe how to enhance the sexual experience. You'll get answers to questions you never knew to ask: how to keep dildos clean, what is "packing," what is the appeal of S/M, for example. A substantial chapter on "Safer Sex" offers techniques both expected (use a condom) and unexpected (put it on him using your mouth). Quotations from real people about their sexual pleasures lend interest and eroticism. Explicit line drawings show sex between male-female, male-male, and female-female partners, as well as solitary acts with vibrators. "In our fantasies, we dream of this book with its cracked spine and well-thumbed pages lying on your nightstand next to your vibrator, lube, massage oil and condoms," write the authors. For education and entertainment, this book is a winner. --Joan Price --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

From Publishers Weekly

Winks and Semans, managers of a San Francisco adult "toy" store, Good Vibrations, describe in this well-written, just-right-for-browsing compendium many of the sexual pleasures and practices some people--straight or gay--may want to know more about. But this is not an ordinary "how to have better sex" manual. Instead, it focuses on the importance of fantasy and on many props--"sex toys"--frequently glossed over in other similar books. For the simply curious or the sexually adventurous, the authors describe these toys. They also offer a cornucopia of advice and information gathered from interviews about sexual practices. An in-depth chapter on preventing AIDS is included, along with an extensive shopping guide, a list of erotic videos and a bibliography. Some readers may be repelled reading about S/M practices, power games and body piercing--or by the strong emphasis on the pleasure and "popular mechanics" of sex, rather than romance. But even those not inclined to follow authorial suggestions may find this work an excellent opportunity to look behind the closed doors of other people's bedrooms.

5.0 out of 5 stars the one to buy, Aug 25 2003

By A Customer

There's a lot of sex "guides" out there these - browse the rest but buy this one. Entertaining to read and comprehensive - a book that can answer questions and pique curiousity as well. I really love reading the qoutes from people about their own experiences - they give this book a ring of authenticity and sincerity of purpose that's rare in this world.You also get the feeling that the authors are pretty rigorous in their research and not all invested promoting one "right" magic-bullet way to achieve sexual pleasure. There's something in this book for everyone.

5.0 out of 5 stars One sex book, lots of Ideas!, Aug 25 2003

By	anna rodriguez (los angeles, ca) - See all my reviews

I really liked this book because it didn't make assumptions about my sexual orientation or what kinds of things I should like sexually. It just sort of presented a whole lot of options, and laid them out like a big feast, and then invited me to taste whatever I wanted. I have trouble coming with my partner, so I found the information about using vibrators with partners, and enjoying mutual masturbation, really helpful. I also got some good ideas for better oral sex, which is kinda intimidating to me. I like this sex book because I can go back to it whenever I want to learn something new.

By	N. L. Nagel "sgtnate79" (S-W Florida) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a wonderfully written book. There is a section for every person to find something of interest. There are several new things to learn here. It is written in a very mature fashion and doesn't make you feel uncomfortable whatever your reading about.

2.0 out of 5 stars Too Politically Correct
This book has a lot of information, but much of it panders to feminists and gays. And looking at some of the illustrations will make you wish there were no pictures at all. Read more
