Dear G-Spot: Straight Talk About Sex and Love [Paperback]

Zane (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: June 17, 2008

Dear G-Spot is New York Times bestselling author Zane's long-awaited guide to what she knows better than anyone else: love and sex.

Dear G-Spot includes real letters from real people, both women and men, who have sought Zane's advice over the years -- the preacher's wife worrying about being judged, the virgin, the guy next door, the gay man next door, the woman with low self-esteem, and the other woman with a sex drive over the moon.

In her own uniquely can-did and humorous way, Zane answers all your questions -- even questions you never thought to ask -- about making whoopee.

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

The hugely popular erotica author Zane gets right to the point: This is a book about fucking. This is a book about love, she warns in the aggressively defensive introduction (Do not start protests at your local library to ban me from the shelves) to this collection of letters she has received from the lost and confused in need of sexual advice. The chapters in her first nonfiction book are grouped around such useful topics as virginity/young love, sexual addiction, oral sex, dissatisfied lovers/lack of sex drive and how to make love to a woman. Zane writes with grim humor and uses explicit, slangy language that obviously resonates with her audience of younger, sexually active women. She encourages wild, no-holes-barred sex, but presents hot, monogamous unions as her goal. Dump him and find a man to respect you is her response to the women who complain of being exploited or cheated on by their lovers. Despite the out-there language, Zane's advice is sympathetic and sensitive on every area of sexual confusion and difficulty. (July)Correction: The pub month for Norman Pearlstine's Off the Record (Reviews, Apr. 30) is June.

This review is from: Dear G-Spot: Straight Talk About Sex and Love (Hardcover)

For those of you who are new to Zane, this book will provide a wealth of knowledge on how to release your inhibitions and have the great sex you always hear about. For those of us who have been following her career since the beginning, I suggest you go to Barnes and Nobles and read it like I did cuz there's nothing new to be learned. This is not a novel; it is a compilation of questions from readers across the globe--from virgins, to Baptist preacher's wives, to nymphos.....It is set up in the Ann Landers Q& A format. This book answers broad spectrums of questions and can provide useful for the new fans and the old fans. I did see some things in there that I had forgotten about so overall it was pretty informative and as ALWAYS titillating.

This review is from: Dear G-Spot: Straight Talk About Sex and Love (Hardcover)

This is not a book for the shy and buttoned up types who like everything in its place. The tone and writer's style is breezy, fun but serious when needs to be. This is definitely a rollicking good read. Never read Zane before but this is a book that is universal and for all people to read, not just the African American population. We all lust and want the best sex with the best partner that will respect and hear and understand us. The Dear Abby of Sex for sure. You wish you had a cool aunt or uncle that would tell you the real deal when your parents were too chicken to tell you the deal.
