This review is from: The Great Lover Playbook: 365 Sexual Tips and Techniques to Keep the Fires Burning All Year Long (Paperback)

Previously published as 365 Days of Sensational Sex, this fourth book by best-selling author Lou Paget of How to be a Great Lover and How to Give Her Absolute Pleasure fame, tells us that this is by far her most comprehensive work.

Over 365 short entries, each tip reveals how to continue turning on your partner, maintain access to intimacy, and pave the way to increased heights of pleasures. These entries fall under six categories: Attitude, Behaviour, Playbook (new tips and techniques), Classics (favourite tips and techniques from her seminars), Fantasy, and Frequently Asked Questions.

What I liked was how easy to read this book is, its bite-sized tips, and the real-life stories shared. The good take-aways for me included: erotic films titles, love making music, introduction to sex toys (name and how to use), and resource list at the end of the book.

What I did not like was how the author repeats herself in different sections, for instance suggesting dirty talk in two categories (that does not make it 365 new tips!). A lot of what was shared is nothing new but in fact boils down to communicating well. Written for women in mind, I would only recommend this book for women or couples who are relatively inexperienced to lovemaking.

3.0 out of 5 stars Nothing fancy but still worth reading..., January 5, 2009

This review is from: The Great Lover Playbook: 365 Sexual Tips and Techniques to Keep the Fires Burning All Year Long (Paperback)

The book served primarily to reinforce "world views," which each one of us has, and share normality much like I imagine a group therapy session. The tips are very straightforward and really not worth reading. We bought this book for intimacy in our private life rather than for sex. It's separation into three subchapters makes sense and you do not have to read the book as there are 365 mini-tips throughout the chapters, which you can each read individually and in any random order.

I'd recommend this book with some hesitation because it did not do exactly what we wanted from it. Things that seemed weird to me, e.g. enjoying that my significant other hug me as a man instead of me, as the man, always taking matters into my own hands, are now more natural as the book noted that men need to be hugged to reinforce their bond etc etc. It was nothing really new and that's what it felt like to me, always, but it was nice to read that this was a common preference among men. It "normalized" what at times felt like a weakness.

Book is well written with descriptions and suggestions along with some comments from others. Informative. Worth reading even for general education and better understanding of the human body and interactions.
