Book Description

May 22, 2001

The Great American Sex Diet will take you on a thrilling twenty-eight-day journey to new heights of intimacy, sensuality, and excitement!

Bestselling author Laura Corn has helped millions of couples revitalize their relationships with her world-famous recipe: Anticipation + Variety = Great Sex. Now, in The Great American Sex Diet, Laura adds a powerful new ingredient based on a discovery that grew out of a personal crisis in her life. Its effect was truly miraculous. In fact, it saved her relationship. But would it work for others?

To find out, Laura invited thirty-eight couples to test her new recipe. They came from all across America and all walks of life -- twentysomethings to sixtysomethings, with children and without. Some were perfectly happy and looking for a way to spice things up, some yearned for the passion they once felt for one another, others were stressed out or had little or no desire for sex, and a few were even on the verge of breaking up. Most confessed that sex was now infrequent and predictable, but they all had this in common: They wanted to make things better.

For twenty-eight amazing, eye-opening days, they explored the sealed pages in this book and followed Laura's secret recipes. They seduced each other. They surprised each other. They courted each other. And the sex they had was more incredible, wonderful, and breathtaking than they'd had in years. The results were extraordinary. All the successful couples had proven the truth behind Laura Corn's newest insight. Men and women felt better, they listened more, they treated each other with tenderness and respect. In short, they fell in love all over again.

You'll be inspired by their tales of transformation. And you'll see the results with your own eyes because each intimate story is accompanied by revealing before-and-after portraits that capture the remarkable changes brought on by the diet.

The Great American Sex Diet can work the same magic in your relationship. You get all the tools used by Laura's research team:

  • Two Secret Spice Menus: One For Her Eyes Only and one For His Eyes Only. Each fold-out menu contains more than seventy erotic techniques and ideas, as well as suggestions for ways to combine them into literally thousands of seductions. And because your partner never gets to see your version of the Spice Menu, every sexy treat comes as delicious surprise!
  • Tear-Out Spice Calendars: Designed to create burning sense of anticipation in both of you. You'll be amazed at the sheer erotic rush that comes from knowing you are going to be seduced at a certain date and time! More important, the calendars make it possible to keep your commitment to intimacy, even in the middle of your busy life.
  • Secret Envelopes: Contain Laura's greatest hits, sex diet secrets, anticipation teasers, and extra spices so tantalizing they're sealed in special envelopes!

If you're ready to reclaim love, intimacy, confidence, and sexuality -- if you're willing to commit twenty-eight days to the pursuit of renewed passionthen this book is for you.

Your spicy new life can start tonight!



Editorial Reviews

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

5.0 out of 5 stars TRULY THE "SPICE OF LIFE!", May 23, 2001
By 
Sandra D. Peters "Seagull Books" (Prince Edward Island, Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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!
