Amazon.com Review

Candida Royalle, maker of adult films with a woman's perspective and former porn actress, knows how to script, direct, and perform an erotic scene. In How to Tell a Naked Man What to Do, Royalle shows women how to create their own sexy scenarios (cameras optional). She describes how to present and playact a fantasy: creating the "script"; choosing locale, music, and décor; selecting wardrobe and sex toys; having "outercourse," and directing the man in his role. Though obviously aimed at women who wish to enhance their sex life, her suggestions are not as one-sided as the clever title might imply--she gives plenty of advice about playing out the man's fantasies, helping him feel comfortable using sex toys, communicating lovingly, and giving him great oral sex.

Royalle intersperses "Director's Notes," which are tips, cautions, and summaries of sexual information. Writing with humor, she warns readers about places not to make love: moving vehicle, woods (flies are attracted to perspiration), airplane bathroom. Although she promotes her own films overmuch, her tidbits about making porn films are entertaining, such as the behind-the-scenes reason that actresses keep their shoes on during sex--it's hard to keep their feet clean on the set! --Joan Price --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

This review is from: How to Tell a Naked Man What to Do: Sex Advice from a Woman Who Knows (Hardcover)

Candida Royalle so generously shares her wisdom and experience with us in this book. Fabulous for women, but also for men. It is written from the heart as well as the clit! It's fun, sexy and a very worthwhile read. I enjoyed reading about Candida's experiences as a feminist sex film maker. Very inspiring. From a certified sexologist's perspective, the book's information is also very sound and current.
