Mutual satisfaction during lovemaking - true fulfillment for both partners - really matters, especially in long-term love relationships. But because of the way our bodies "interface" during straightforward intercourse, women are often left unsatisfied. Throughout history, one-sided sex has been the norm - male contentment and female frustration. Even today, with our improved understanding of sexual anatomy, many couples are still in the same fix. Marshall's carefully researched and superbly written book tells what a few fortunate lovers have discovered - and almost never talk about. "The Great Sex Secret" gives a detailed, straightforward description of three approaches that reliably deliver mutual satisfaction. This book is a perfect conversation-starter for couples who want to find their way to sexual happiness but are having difficulty talking about the details.

More About the Author
Kim Marshall was trained as a sex educator while teaching in a Boston middle school in the 1970s and has taught his own course for 25 years, gradually developing a comprehensive, 12-lesson curriculum for young adolescents. Over the years, he gathered ideas and material for an adult book on sex, and it was published in 2007. The purpose of this book is to confront the "interface" problem that produces so much one-sided sex and draw attention to three approaches to mutual satisfaction that are little discussed in the literature and popular culture.

What a GREAT Book -- Read it and give it to someone you love!,
This review is from: The Great Sex Secret (Paperback)
The Great Sex Secret makes it really clear: happiness in your sex life hinges on one thing -- real, reliable orgasms for both partners, in a context of communication and trust. In a matter-of-fact, warm and deeply informed way, educator and writer Kim Marshall challenges the deep habits of silence and ignorance that keep so many people from sexual happiness. He then goes on to give readers wonderfully concrete help on how to make sure that if good sex is what you want, good sex is what you can get. With great attention to detail, readers are treated to descriptions of a variety of techniques to ensure that both partners in a heterosexual couple will experience orgasm. It's wonderfully "hands on."
I have been trying to figure out who Kim Marshall reminds me of as he writes this book -- and of course it is Fred Rogers! Marshall has the kind of wise, funny and factual approach to sex that Mr. Rogers had on the subject of feelings. He wants us to be completely comfortable with sex, to make good use of what we know about human anatomy, rather than to ignore it, to form a habit of communicating honestly with our partner as we are having sex, and to build on that emotional honesty to have really GREAT sex. The other interesting thing is that this book is essentially about equality in relationships. It turns out that the path to mutual, reliable orgasms is based on a man's absolute commitment to a woman's sexual pleasure. In his own unpreachy way, Marshall takes strides toward a vision and an experience of human sexuality that is really fair, and really fun. There is a subtle power in this book that makes me very glad I am giving it to my college-bound son and nephew. The Great Sex Secret is one of those rare books that confirms a vast amount of what you knew -- or suspected -- but had not actually been able to put into words. Serious students of human sexuality will recognize its solid research base. The rest of us can use this slim volume as it is intended: as a tool to help our lovers and ourselves -- and the lovers among our family members and friends -- become happier people. This one is destined to become a classic! Try it out on someone YOU love.

Important and fun -- a must read!,
By college student (cambridge, ma) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Great Sex Secret (Paperback)
Kim Marshall's book is a delight to read! Even though at first I was skeptical of one secret that would solve everyone's problems, by the end of the book Marshall had me totally convinced his suggestions can help most (heterosexual) couples have better sex - and more fulfilling relationships. His incorporation of facts is always interesting and balanced with humor and charm that make the book as enjoyable and funny as it is important. Its emphasis on the connections between physical and emotional intimacy in both one time "hook-ups" and long-term relationships is persuasive and insightful. It is a crucial read for people with any level of sexual experience, and I have already begun recommending the book to all of my friends!

No big secret, but still worthwhile,

This review is from: The Great Sex Secret (Paperback)
There are too many sex advice books. Most of them have 3-4 pages of useful information and a lot of 'fluff' to fill the book into a marketable product. The Great Sex Secret is really no exception. Would I ruin the author's chances for a couple more bucks by telling the secret? Nah, not me. Someone else, maybe, but not me. OH OK! I'll tell you, just stop your begging.
The secret: a man can stimulate a woman's clitoris to orgasm at the same time he is having intercourse. That's it. Marshall makes the book worthwhile by including a decent review of the basic literature on sex research over the past 50 years. He also refers to ancient sex manuals, usually with the criticism that they provide no detail on technique. But Marshall is guilty of the same flaw. He informs us that a man can assume a position to stimulate the clitoris while making love, but provides no illustrations or details. You can probably figure it out, but many sex manuals on the market are not shy about providing specific details regarding positions, touch, pressure, placement of hands/fingers/mouth, etc. Marshall has written a good review of sex research, and managed to throw in a 'secret' that works. He loses a star, however, for being guilty of the very crime that he accuses others of committing.
