5.0 out of 5 stars Sexual satisfaction is a core part of a healthy relationship, February 22, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: How to Have Magnificent Sex: Improve Your Relationship and Start to Have the Best Sex of Your Life (Paperback)

How to Have Magnificent Sex is a fine book for restoring interest in sex. Many women have been disappointed by men and have little desire to experience intercourse with their current mate. This book provides vital steps to refresh your sex life and your attitude towards your relationship. I highly reccommend it. To deal with the underlying issues that may cause distancing in your relationship, I strongly recommend Optimal Thinking: How To Be Your Best Self. Optimal Thinking is the best resource to put your best self in charge, make the most of any situation, and enables you to communicate most effectively with your partner. I also recommend Getting the Love You Want to give you understanding about why relationships whither and how to deal with these situations. Read these books and your life will be how you want it to be.

1.0 out of 5 stars Anyone will do., February 21, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: How to Have Magnificent Sex: Improve Your Relationship and Start to Have the Best Sex of Your Life (Paperback)

Holstein recommends putting your brain on autopilot and going through these prescribed motions to rejuvenate your sex life. The idea that any couple, however mismatched can enjoy sexual satisfaction is fine, unless you actually have some standards about the type of sex partner you want.

All in all I cannot recommend this book.
