Keesling worked for ten years as a professional sex surrogate before becoming a therapist and has taught human sexuality and psychopathology at several universities in California.

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

In The Good Girl's Guide to Bad Girl Sex, sex therapist Barbara Keesling (How to Make Love All Night; Super Sexual Orgasm) asserts that nearly every "good" girl yearns to be "bad" and offers tips for unleashing the bad girl within. Keesling, who worked for a sex therapist as a surrogate partner for 10 years before becoming one herself, explores the inhibitions that women have about sex, and explains how you can dress, speak, walk, tease, use sex toys, give blow jobs and have orgasms like the bad girl of your dreams. In addition, Keesling, herself a former "good" girl meaning that like most women, she had learned to hide her wild desires from the world offers her personal story as inspiration for all women who want to learn how to "feel good about being bad."

5.0 out of 5 stars Way to be a CONFIDENT WOMAN!, May 16, 2003

This review is from: The Good Girl's Guide to Bad Girl Sex: An Indispensable Resource to Pleasure and Seduction (Hardcover)

I read this book and my friends can't wait for each other to read it, so 3 of them have already bought their own copies!

If you want a book on sexual positions and techniques, this book is not for you. However, if you are a woman who wants to learn that it is OK to be sexy and how to incorperate sexyness into everyday of your life (as well as redefine your idea about what it means to be "bad") this book is awesome! It is really about becoming an autonomous, confidant, adult woman! It's great!

My self-esteem is rising as I do the excersizes (don't worry, most of them are even FUN!) in the book. My posture has changed, I no longer have clothes in my warddrobe that I do not enjoy wearing, and it has opened up a whole range of wonderful conversation with my girls. In fact, if you liked this book or are interesting in hearing more from people that have read it, check out the Yahoo! Group "confident women"!

Basically, it is easy to read and full of great information for women at any stage in life that would like some encouragement to show their natural sexy attitude!

Read and Enjoy!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Trust me--buy this book!<g>, December 12, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: The Good Girl's Guide to Bad Girl Sex: An Indispensable Resource to Pleasure and Seduction (Hardcover)

This book belongs on every woman's shelf--right next to Laure Redmond's "Feel Good Naked" and SARK's "Eat Mangos Naked". This is one of the very few books that gets to the heart of it--increasing your sensuality and appeal by increasing your self esteem.THAT is the aim of the book--the idea that being "bad" is a joyous attitude of self love and self respect--recognizing that you are a precious, gorgeous, voluptuous, sexy human being--and your age, size--nothing!--can keep you from feeling this wonderful about yourself if you're willing to take the risk and embrace the changes. It's playful, thoughtful and funny--and the techniques are very, very effective.

This review is from: The Good Girl's Guide to Bad Girl Sex: An Indispensable Resource to Pleasure and Seduction (Hardcover)

This book teaches women how to have strong self esteem as well as how to be the sexy woman we were all born to be. It teaches how to reach your natural sexiness without being sleazy or gaudy, it is simply feminine. It is full of information and an easy read with personal stories to aid in reaching the woman deep inside. I recommend this book to every woman whether you be single, dating, or married.
