Book Description

February 7, 1997
An authoritative, fully illustrated guide to sex and sexual expression
-- Compiled by a group of internationally known experts highly regarded in the field of sexual health
-- Fully illustrated with over 100 color photos, the book contains chapters on anatomy, sexual feelings and behavior, and sex and culture
-- Includes material on sexual harassment and abuse, health and hygiene, up-to-date methods of contraception, male and female menopause, and sexual disorders and their treatments

Breaking new ground in its comprehensive approach to every aspect of sex and sexuality, the Lovers' Guide Encyclopedia unlocks the mysteries of intimate relationships. Written in consultation with an advisory board of sexual behavior experts, the encyclopedia is designed to develop sexual knowledge and freedom with its authoritative information about the innumerable forms of human sexual expression. The encyclopedia is divided into four sections -- sexual facts, sexual feelings and behaviors, sexual attitudes and values, and a glossary of sexual terms -- for easy access and reference.

One hundred color photographs accompany more than 250 pages of information and advice on topics including conception, childbirth, sexual health, sexual fantasy, sex and gender, sex and religion, menopause, and a brief history of sex through the ages, as well as a modern-day look at how sexual behavior is influenced by cultural differences and mores. From pillow talk to prostitution, libido to body language, and hormones to pheromones, the book heralds a new era of enhanced sexual knowledge and freedom in the age of AIDS. The Lovers' Guide Encyclopedia provides an inspirational guide for readers to explore theirown sexual responses, release their sexual potential, and open their imaginations to experience new sexual possibilities.

3.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good, covers about everything - that's the problem, April 12, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Lover's Guide Encyclopedia: The Definitive Guide to Sex and You (Paperback)
Lots of good, frank discussion on "taboo" issues. However, too much boring historical stuff (IMHO). I also found the sections on body piercing, body marking, and the picture guide to homosexuality a bit out of the mainstream for my tastes. But hey, everyone's different.

5.0 out of 5 stars In depth and explicit detail - Excellent, April 22, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Lover's Guide Encyclopedia: The Definitive Guide to Sex and You (Paperback)
This book is the authority A-Z on human reproduction and sexuality. From the novice to expert, this book offers well-presented information and explicit description. The photos give 'porographic' detail, but the context insures that this is simply a very thorough book. For instance, what good is it to speak about or draw different sexual methods when the can actually study pictures and erogenous zones/genitals in great detail without all the porographic hype of magazines and the net. A great book for a male looking for answers to all those odd questions. Highly recommended.
