The Big O. is a concise easy to read overview of human sexual response and how to get to the finish line. Lou Paget does an excellent job organizing and giving you all the information out in the world today about sexual release for men and women. This is her third book and written to both genders unlike her previous books which were written for gender specific.

In 260 pages Ms. Paget manages to give you 'The Big O' from conception to completion with some fun stuff in between. 'The Big O' will definitely bring you up to date on the physiological aspects of your important parts to achieve orgasm. Ms. Paget manages to do this with in the realm of education and not being crude.

She also touches on the very important aspect that [love making] begins in the head and the brain is the larges sex organ. She touches on the mental aspects of boredom, anxiety, and arousal.

There are chapters dedicated to both men and women were she describes the different and numerous kinds of orgasms available to both men and women. Both these chapters give you some very specific how to's on achieving orgasm. By far I would say those two chapters will hold your interest and you will want to experiment using some of her ideas unless you knew them already.

Of course no book written on the subject of sexuality is complete today with out a chapter on the medical concerns of [intercourse] today. Ms. Paget has two chapters one dedicated to discussing fitness, depression, desire, and menopause along with diseases that effect sexual response and outcome. She also has a chapter dedicated to sexually transmitted diseases.

Included in her book are chapters on Fun Stuff to try: aphrodisiacs, massage, aromatherapy, exercises, and other toys.

The book does an excellent job on describing mental and physical aspects of orgasm for men and women and touches on lots of other exciting ideas you might want to explore and expand future education. I enjoyed this book and learned a lot about the bodies of men and women and took some mental notes on the techniques offered in the book. Over all I would say this is a great book for your library.

One of the fun things in the book are the snippets of information through out the book titled Historical and hysterical facts and Secrets from Lou?s Archives. You will get a giggle from some of these and some valuable information.

I would recommend this book to all.

I'm a huge fan of Lou Paget's other books: How to Give Her Absolute Pleasure and How to be a Great Lover (my girlfriend and I have the books and the tapes). This is what led us to buy the Big O, but we were disopointed. It's pretty much a rush job that seems to be a repeat of her last two books. Most of the same information is repeated, but phrased differently. It also dosen't cater to male orgasmims much at all. It's more of a guide for women in doing their part to help their man orgasim as opposed to helping men cultivate their own. Paget has a lot to teach and she has helped our sex life a lot, but this book wasn't all it was cracked up to be. If you've read her last two books and want to learn more, perhaps another writer with a different approach would be refreshing. But make sure you get her other two books first!

I only wish I had had this book when I was younger but even at 68 it has improved my life.

Lou Paget has done it again! She keeps putting information, exercises, and techniques together for men and women in a concise format that leads the reader (and their mate!) to MORE pleasure! I think ALL of her books should be REQUIRED reading for college! She has the knowledge and bibliography that manages to match many that I either own or have read over the years! If you want the latest on Orgasms and sophisticated loving-look no further! You GO Lou!

LOU PAGET WRITES THE PERFECT BOOKS FOR ME!

I am a conservative Christian woman that kept her virtue until her wedding night, so did my husband... NOW WHAT DO WE DO? We knew the mechanics our mom/dad and sex ed. teachers taught us... but we quickly learned there must be more to it than that! My husband and I wanted to find something informative, without being too ronchy. We wanted something that respected us as a couple and didn't care about becoming porn stars. I wanted a book that I wouldn't mind leaving my husband alone with either, lol.

I love how Lou writes: informative and straight to the point. I love the experiences she shares (her own and those of her seminar students).

This is the bridal shower gift I give to other conservative brides. This way they know get more bang for their punch, even when they've waited a long time to have it ;)

I found this book to be very condescending in tone. The author tends to drive the same point home over and over...and over and over. (How many times do I need to be told that the mind is the most important sex organ? It sunk in after the first 5 times--I didn't need to be reminded in every chapter.)

The author tries to cover a lot of area, but doesn't provide depth in any of them. For example, when describing different sexual positions, she relies a great deal on illustrations to get the point across, and provides very little textual description to enhance your understanding.

There are much better sex guides available, I suggest you pass on this one. Take a look at The Guide to Getting it On instead.

This is a very interesting book which will basically tell you about all the different types of orgasms for men and women and how to give them like the cover says. It also has pictures to show how to give them using each method. I also recieved the book 2-3 business days after I ordered it so it was shipped quickly.

This is a great book. The best I have found on the subject and I am definitely looking into buying her first book for women now. She has opened my eyes about many different topics and has made sex itself alot more enjoyable.

Lou Paget has written a lot of good sex books - this one will appeal to almost anyone interested in having or giving orgasms. She presents a wide variety of avenues to orgasm - just about any practice you can imagine can take some people over the top.

The Big O doesn't go into much depth, and is a little short on emotional and psychological issues, in my opinion. But it's kinky enough and clear enough to give almost anyone some good ideas.
