ok, i wrote this so, I gotta give it five stars.
Good primer.
When I browsed through this book at the bookstore, it certainly lived up to its subtitle. So I bought it (after much thought.Like many adults past, oh 25 or so, I think I know all I need or want to know about sex--but I don't. For one thing, we change as we get older (and not just the wonderful menopausal changes).So far, I'm finding the following: The writing is friendly, positive, and humorous without being salacious; inclusive of all sexual interests and physical stages or abilities; and just...
I recently re-read this book because I wanted to give some sane and safe information to my kid. Hell, I needed the information for myself. This is a great, well written book. I chickened out on giving the whole book to my kid. In some ways I know that's wrong. But, I think it's better to learn about it from me at home... I use it as a reference book. It is terrific. Teaching your own kids about sex (and drugs) is complicated. Ick. Better for our children to be informed. Parents, do you think tha...
This book should be read by anyone who has ever in their life considered having sex.
What a darling little book! For the curious teen all the way to an experienced vixen, this book really addresses a wonderfully wide range of sexual health topics, and it does so with a casual, optimistic voice. For those who'd just like to learn a few more (pardon the pun) ins and outs of sex, this is a great piece to just pick up and thumb through.Personally, I feel that this book would be an EXCELLENT source for 15-18 year olds who, let's be honest, are probably more ready to bang than a troop...
Overall, I'd say that this book was fabulous! It talked about sexuality in a way that included everybody...people with different sexual orientations, people of color, and people of all ages. It also had a lot of really great info about safe sex mixed in there as well. I would describe the book as being a sexuality text book...it was kind of long and I often skimmed through sections. Since I read the 2nd edition and not the 3rd, the info on sex and technology was a bit out dated...so I would reco...
Best Damn Sex Encyclopedia
This is the best sex guide I have ever read!Highly recommended!
This is the best sex manual I've ever read. I HIGHLY recommend it for its inclusiveness regarding sexuality, orientation, and gender. This is a fantastic sex-positive feminist work on comprehensive and healthy ways to express "sex" in all of its meanings. It breaks down oppressive Victorian sexual orthodoxy and dares the reader to contemplate how we sexually interact and understand human desires in a more holistic fashion.
Radiolab asked listeners for their sex ed recommendations. Alison, a Radiolab listener, says, "It presents accurate, inclusive information about a wide variety of sex and sexual health-related topics. It was kind of my sex bible."
I love this book. It was well balanced compared to The Joy of Sex. It is inclusive of all types of relationships and informative.I would suggested it to people looking for information when trying to explore their sexuality. It is a easy way to explore ideas without being insulting or condescending.
the most enjoyable non-fiction book i've ever read about sex. it's just a bummer it's too big to take on public transportation.
Zero Stars. NEW AGE GARBAGE. FIND JESUS <3 Wait for your husband who loves Jesus. Every other guy is no good.
I sold a great many copies of this book when I was a purveyor of fine personal massage units, flavored personal lubricants, and other things with 'personal' as the principal euphemism in their titles. This is a fantastic, informative, and non-judgmental guide to the potential pleasures of the human body, your own or that of others. I'm pretty sure that I read a previous edition, because the last time I picked up a copy at a bookstore, there was a whole section on cybersex that I'd never seen. 01...
Easy read with illustrations that are diverse in gender, age, and sexual orientation.This book should be mandatory in high schools.
This book offers a nice survey of subjects that might be helpful to readers in considering how to feel and be empowered in their sex lives. A book of such wide-spanning topics must certainly be helpful to many, as one is likely to find at least a small section in here that they connect with. On the other hand, I feel that this book could improve immensely in a few areas, including discussion of body image, sexual anatomy, and the experiences of both trans and intersex people. I find that the sec...
По сути, точно такая же книга как и The Ultimate Guide to Cunnilingus и Ultimate Guide to Fellatio by Violet Blue. Т.е. это аналог журнальной статьи, но отличает эту книгу от двух вышеупомянутых только большее количество рассматриваемых тем.Это обычный сборник статей/подкастов/видеороликов с YouTube. Только очень и очень обширный. In fact, the book is exactly the same as "The Ultimate Guide to Cunnilingus" and "Ultimate Guide to Fellatio" by Violet Blue. That is, it is an analogue of magazine ar...
Love, love, love this book. In my opinion it should be handed to every person when they reach the age of consent in their country. I would say it should be a required sex ed text in schools but some of it may toe the line of pornography. This is not an in depth guide. It is an amazing survey and basic how to manual that will serve as a springboard into a healthy and fulfilling sex life for anyone regardless of who they are attracted to.
Very informative and clearly stated. A great accompaniment when talking to your teenager about the birds and the bees.
