In this sexy lexicon Em and Lo review the most popular toys, laud the most underrated toys, and throw in a few hilarious toys just for giggles. They explain the difference between a ball gag and a ball stretcher. When a back massager is really a "back" massager. Which dildo is best for stimulating the G-spot. What a nail file has to do with anal beads. And most importantly, what the heck a phthalate is and how you pronounce it. At long last, here are answers. You'll no doubt appreciate the safe usage, storage, and cleaning tips, too. Illustrated with saucy line drawings, Em & Lo's Sex Toy teaches everything you need to know about buying, enjoying, and caring for every sort of bedroom bling imaginable.

I did not not know WHAT to expect really when I bought this book. It is an A-Z type of book. It describes many things I had never HEARD of!!! it is a fun little book to keep on the nightstand!!! No color pictures in this book. But the print is blue and black, which makes it colorful.

This is one of those fantastic little books that serves well on your coffee table, on your bookshelf or hidden under the bed. I strongly recommend it. The writing is friendly and inviting, and makes the vast wealth of information come across very accessible. They include references, costs, warnings, etc... You'd be hard pressed to find a more complete guide that didn't look like an encyclopedia compendium. I strongly recommend this book, whether you're kinky, looking for a little spice, or just want something naughty to amuse guests.
