First off, the book claims to have 101 positions. I was very disappointed to find that the bulk of them are repeats of the same thing with minor variations. The biggest turn off for me in this book was the lack of explanation of the positions and techniques. Almost all of them were one or two generalized sentences. There were many large pictures in the book which I also did not like. Having pictures is fine, but I would much rather have seen many small pictures with a simple explanation. Then if I spotted a technique I liked, there should have been an in depth explanation that followed.

Overall, they just tried to cram too much into this book so they could claim "101 positions". To be honest, I would have been much happier if they gave me 10 positions that they taught me how to use well.

I'd hoped that this book would be what the title claimed: 101 Exciting Positions. Well, it wasn't. I haven't gone and counted exactly how many positions there are (I'm guessing perhaps 50, tops) but some are rather mundane no-brainers (missionary, woman-on-top, doggie-style) and the majority of the rest are variations on those. Personally, I don't count moving a leg a few inches a new position! The pictures were interesting (my husband wondered how they got models for it and whether they wore paper pasties, like in Hollywood), but some were just ridiculous (the strip-tease section, for instance). I was hoping this book was more of an encyclopedia, showing and describing 101 positions to try. Instead, I got a colorful rehash of what we mostly already know.

I ordered this book in the spirit of fun for my boyfriend and me. We went through the book together and our consistent reaction was "Well, we've done that; oh, we've done that, too; liked that, but been there and done that." You probably get the picture. I can see how this book could be a turn on to get the party started but it probably isn't necessary for those with a good imagination, a decent dose of creativity, and a little bit of flexibility. The book didn't meet my expectations based on all the hype of the previous reviews I read. I guess it might be a good book for the old marrieds tired of the same missionary position the same once a month, i.e. a good spice-r-upper for the previously tired and uninspired. But if you are in a good hot and spicy relationship, I think the book will just end up being an erotic coffee table edition to shock the houseguests.

....you expect me to get into that position and actually HOLD IT???? Trust me this book has more positions than the kamasutra and half the fun is just in trying them. Granted, this book is not for everyone. Some positions will not give you all the satisfaction you need....but it will be fun...and like the previous reviewer....WOW!!!!

I was a little skeptical getting this book. It is definately the first of it's kind I had ever gotten. It is GREAT. Just reading it turns you on. He can't even get through 3 chapters.

I highly recommend it if your looking for a little change!!

(...) Its not a bad book, and it is fun to look at with your partner. The models are good looking and the pictures so so graphic, but it is mainly all the regular positions that a sex loving couples do on a regular basis. If you are looking for something new and crazy fun to do, pass it up. But if you are looking for a book to just keep you in tune, its not bad at all.

It wasn't exactly what I was looking for, but it is a very expanitive book. It is a lot of the same old stuff, but it goes into a little more detail on how to be in tune with yourself and your partner. I think it is helpful to the fact that it excentuates being more touchy-feely with your partner. It did however let me know a little more on what a man might prefer and what might help get him in the mood.

There are NOT 101 positions, so forget about that. And 90% of the ones depicted are nothing anyone hasn't already though of. The book features lots and lots of very softcore photos, and some very basic text. It covers most subjects you might think of, but if you think of them, you've already got all the coverage you need.

Might be good for someone very inexperienced, but otherwise...forget it.

I bought this for the pictures but I learned ALOT more. If you like to have freaky sex, which we all do.....then this is a must own. Check out the part on sixty nine....very interesting new techniques involving beads. Can you say FUN? I knew you could!

I would recommend this book. It's not to graphic but will keep your attention and you will look forward to reading each page. Is a real page turner. Gave me and my boyfriend some ideas and just reading it put us in the mood. I am so glad I spent the money on it.
