Amazon.com Review

Forget about shedding unwanted pounds--this tantalizing diet is all about shedding inhibitions (and a few key clothing items), not fat. Intimacy enthusiast Laura Corn, bestselling author of 101 Nights of Grrreat Sex, cooks up a 28-day plan for committed couples who hunger for the fiery "honeymoon phase" of their relationship. To them, she pleads that sex should become a staple--not an extra--right along with "a good balance of water, protein, and carbohydrates." The trick is to make this precious staple a spicy one, by following Corn's stock recipe: "Anticipation + Variety = Great SEX!" Her beautifully compiled ode to rekindling passion helps readers unleash their inner chef.

A victim of low sex drive herself, Corn speaks with conviction and empathy about the perils of lust in long-term relationships. Countering such energy-sappers as work, kids, and boredom requires planning--and lots of it. Corn makes the task simple by offering two tear-out menus (His Only and Hers Only) that dish up a feast of fresh ideas. Participants each select 14 "dishes" from their private list of playful, sexy scenarios, then write each provocative title on a whimsical "Spice Calendar." They're also encouraged to consult additional sealed pages for "Anticipation Teasers," and "Extra Spice Recipes."

Will it work? Just check out the 150 pages dedicated to satisfied dieters. Here, before and after photos (taken by Pulitzer nominee Rick Dahms) speak volumes about Corn's 38 test couples. Their sample calendars, detailed encounters, and praise for the experience abound. Just as the best meals are the ones you plan, prep, and stretch your imagination for, so too, it seems, are the yummiest romantic encounters. Bon appétit! --Liane Thomas --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars TRULY THE "SPICE OF LIFE!", May 23, 2001

By

This review is from: The Great American Sex Diet: Where the Only Thing You Nibble On... Is Your Partner! (Hardcover)

As a counsellor, I will be highly recommending this book to many couples asking for self-help literature. Laura Corn has written a well-researched book that is bound to improve personal relationships. The book contains a unique concept, two fold-out menus: one for him, one for her. Your partner does not see your menu so each "treat" is a unique surprise which is bound to spice up your life, arouse your senses and strengthen the bond of love and closeness. There are over seventy tips and suggestions in each menu that will surprise and delight your partner. This book contains a "diet" that is certainly like no other, and a lot more enjoyable than most. The author presents valid suggestions and techniques on how to renew passion, expand communication and maintain the intimacy of loving relationships. While most of us think of the word "diet" in relation to losing weight, do not be surprised if that is an extra benefit of the book. With all the excitement, passion and additional "exercise" you may be encountering, weight loss may, for some, be a pleasant secondary benefit. The cost of this book is a small price to pay for such valuable advice.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Winner, June 19, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: The Great American Sex Diet: Where the Only Thing You Nibble On... Is Your Partner! (Hardcover)

I have all of Laura's books and honestly, some are 3 stars or less. This one, however, is a clear winner. It is obvious she took a lot of time and effort in this one (perhaps now that she has a publisher, they have helped her with this). The concept is simple and therefore not too difficult for most people to follow.

Her tips in most sections are quite good - not too wild or kinky, but sensual enough that it has the desired results -- more passion.

One thing missing is ideas for romance to go along with the sex (romance and sex ARE two different things). If I keep tearing out pages just to fulfill my sexual lust then something is missing. If the only time I am paying attention to my partner and treating them nicely is during a sexual escapade, then they could start to feel like I'm using them.

I have found a good solution in the book, The Romantic's Guide by Michael Webb --it has thousands of creative ideas for letting someone know they are special (not just because you want to have sex with them).

If you use these two books in tandem, you will have the ingredients for a very blissful relationship.

5.0 out of 5 stars THE BEST SEX BOOK I'VE EVER READ., May 25, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: The Great American Sex Diet: Where the Only Thing You Nibble On... Is Your Partner! (Hardcover)

This book is AMAZING. Laura Corn is the best sex author out there...and she outdoes herself with this book. I bought the book a week ago, and already my fiance and I are having the BEST TIME we've ever had. The secret menus are so exciting! He's already surprised me with a candlelit bubble bath and some other things I can't mention here--because I don't want to ruin YOUR surprise. Buy this book! Trust me! Your love life (and your sex life) will never be the same. It improves every aspect of your relationship. If you're in a rut, this is the surefire way to get out of it. It's so fun!!!!!! Plus, there are stories and before and after pictures of the 38 other couples who've tried the diet. You won't believe the difference! How inspiring! And these aren't models; they're REAL people--old, young, heavy, skinny, married, single. I seriously couldn't put the book down, and neither could my fiance. We've been reading it aloud to each other every night. What a bedtime story!
