1.0 out of 5 stars Disorganized, shallow and even dangerous, May 13, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: 365 Ways to Improve Your Sex Life: From the Files of the Playboy Advisor (Mass Market Paperback)

This is the first time that my doubts about a book began when I read the introduction in which he dedicates the book to his wife "who needs no such assistance". The impication for the rest of us is dubious.

Some of the advice offered seems interesting, some of it seems OK and some of it seems outright dangerous. I do not recommend that a man use a vacuum cleaner as a masturbation aid or that he receive oral sex while driving a car. When the author is asked if performing oral sex on a man while driving a car is dangerous he says that that is only true if its the woman who is driving!

This book has something of a hastily-slapped-together quality to it. Actually it appears that the author got "inspired" by "Tricks" author Jay Wiseman and decided to do a very similar book because Wiseman's book wasn't at the time very well distributed and which Peterson seems to be subtly trying to steer the reader away from.

I guess what bothers me about this book is its overall sense of shallowness. I get the feeling that the author doesn't really respect sex (and he works for Playboy! ) and therefore he doesn't really respect his reader. I expected better from the Playboy Advisor.

For good books try The Good Vibrations Guide to Sex, 150 Sex Games for Couples, The Guide to Getting It On and Tricks: More Than 125 Ways To Make Good Sex Better.

5.0 out of 5 stars Make That 100 Ways To Improve Your Sex Life, July 25, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: 365 Ways to Improve Your Sex Life: From the Files of the Playboy Advisor (Mass Market Paperback)

After you pick through the sexual suggestions that you could never possibly do, I came up with only a 100. I have to say this though: they are original. The charm of this book is that it isn't written by some doctor who probably never has sex, it's a collection of letters from real people who write Playboy magazine. If you're easily offended easily I wouldn't recommend this book to you. On the other hand if you need a few tips on how to spice up your sex life(and you'll try just about anything)run out to the stores now and grab your own copy.

This review is from: 365 Ways to Improve Your Sex Life: From the Files of the Playboy Advisor (Mass Market Paperback)

While the book has some interesting ideas in it, I was appalled at a handful of them, such as #59 (putting an Alka Seltzer in a woman's vagina) and #104 (geting head while driving a car). I would never place a carbonated item inside a woman's vagina, nor would I want to be receiving oral sex while trying to drive! Ideas like these, despite the author's claims to the contrary are plain dangerous.

The comment on one trick that "large-breasted women are more sexually experienced than smaller breasted women" also bothered me. Does the author or the person who came up with that trick know this from personal experience? I certainly haven't found this to be true in my own experiences.

If you're looking for ways to spice up your sex life, there are numerous other books out there to read, like the Sex Toy Tricks series by Jay Wiseman, Bondage On A Budget, or even the Sex for Dummies book.

I'll pass on this one, thank you.
