Sex should be "an experience to be relished from beginning to end," says Lou Paget in How to Be a Great Lover: Girlfriend-to-Girlfriend Totally Explicit Techniques That Will Blow His Mind. Paget (a woman) aims "to empower you as a woman, heighten the intimacy of your romantic relationship, and enable you and your partner to enjoy yourselves in intense new ways." She lives up to that promise with this friendly, titillating, educational, and explicit guide to enlivening your sex life and keeping your man coming back for more. Is he a bad kisser? Learn an easy strategy to get him to kiss you just the way you like it. Does he object to using a condom? Use your mouth to put it on him (a six-step process, complete with illustrations). You'll find information you might not find anywhere else, such as dozens of explicit manual and oral techniques (many illustrated) that will drive him crazy, a comparison of different brands of lubricant for different uses (along with sexy ways to apply it), techniques for anal stimulation, and a guide to sex toys. This book is fun to read, and will certainly open up the sensuality in your relationship. --Joan Price --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Abolutely a great book that will blow your lovers mind!, May 9, 2001

This review is from: How to Be a Great Lover: Girlfriend-to-Girlfriend Totally Explicit Techniques that Will Blow His Mind (Hardcover)

This wonderful book has received many great reviews and rightfully so, I don't know what to say that other readers haven't already said, other than this is a GREAT book and these are my reasons for thinking so!

This book is written in a totally readable style and includes literally thousands of mind-blowing techniques to use on your man. The author, Lou Paget has spent the last 15 years as a sex educator so she knows what she's talking about. The book does not use vulgar terms to describe body parts and treats the whole sexual experience respectfully. How to Be a Great Lover runs the gambit on sexual experiences between a man and a woman. Every possible thing you could think of is included in the handy little book. Some of the chapters include: how to create a sensual environment, the art of kissing, safer sex, lubrication issues, hand jobs, oral sex, anal sex, actual intercourse, and sex toys. There are detailed drawings of everything you could possibly have questions about in this book. Personally, I found the drawings of all of the different ways to give a man a hand job very helpful. (Like they say: a picture is worth a thousand words). Another interesting thing about this book are the little bubbles included throughout the book. They are called "Secret from Lou's Archives" and include little known facts about whatever the chapter is about. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who has sex, engages in foreplay or kissing, wants their sex life to be better, or anyone who is thinking about engaging in sexual activities. There are so many neat tricks in this book that your sex life will never get dull. Lou Paget's book HOW TO BE A GREAT LOVER is sure to put some pizazz back into your sex life.

This book is a fun, informative guide for women who want to master their bedroom skills. Paget provides a no-nonsense guide for women. Her advice is intended to empower you and give you confidence, enabling you to enjoy greater intimacy in the bedroom.

Let's face it, we all want to have a great sex life. Even if you THINK you know everything, you will learn a few new tricks from this book. What do men like and why? You will find out in this book. Without getting too explicit here, just let me say that after reading this book, you find out all you will ever need to know about how to truly please, excite, and satisfy your man.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best sex how-to book I've ever read., October 17, 2001

By 

"marianne_b" (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: How to Be a Great Lover: Girlfriend-to-Girlfriend Totally Explicit Techniques that Will Blow His Mind (Hardcover)

And I've read more than a few of them. I've been in a couple of long-term relationships, and I really didn't think I had much to learn until I picked this up in the bookstore. One look at the instructions and drawings for "Ode to Bryan" (a technique for manual stimulation described in the book) and I was sold.

Lou Paget has written a book that is refreshingly straightforward, respectful of monogamy and relationships, unabashedly sensual, and undeniably specific and USEFUL. At the same time, it's not gimmicky. The problem I have with most sex manuals is the space they waste on recipes for sexual side dishes, hors d'oeuvres you may serve up once in a while. Lou's book is pure entree--meat and potatoes that you, and your partner, will enjoy every night. In other words, most sex manuals are an issue of "Martha Stewart Living"; this is "The Joy of Cooking."

You may be doubtful about buying a book like this. Maybe, like me, you figure that if you are good enough at communicating with your partner, you don't need it. Well, I was wrong. The fact is that men are not necessarily good at explaining what they like--either because they are shy about it or because they have never experienced great loving. If you think about it, the reverse is also true. Haven't you ever had a lover who introduced you to something new--an incredible, wonderful surprise that you now can't live without?

Whether you are experienced or inexperienced, need help in the bedroom or think you know it all, this book is for you. It's like sitting down with your three best straight girlfriends and/or gay male friends and having a no-holds-barred information-sharing session about what makes men tick (and explode).

If you are open to making your sex life incredible, this will be the best $$$ you've ever spent. (Less than that, at a discount!) Take the plunge. The information you will gain is priceless.

5.0 out of 5 stars You have to get this book!, November 15, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: How to Be a Great Lover: Girlfriend-to-Girlfriend Totally Explicit Techniques that Will Blow His Mind (Hardcover)

Even if you already have a great sex life, buy this book! You will be amazed at the reaction you will get when you try out a few simple techniques. The book will pay for itself in one night (or morning, or afternoon). The moves on pages 143-147 had unbelievable results: after regaining his composure, my husband said "that was the BEST EVER" ... only to be left absolutely speechless two nights later. What are you waiting for? Buy this book NOW!
