In my college level sexuality classes, my students repeatedly ask me to recommend "a good sex book with pictures". I wanted to find one that had accurate information, a dose of education, and was sensitive about the issues different people have in their relationships. MMPS met all those criteria and more. Eric Garrison's prose is full of metaphors and amusing turns of phrase. In one of his recommendations for position changes he writes, "So let out his dingy before you invite him back to dock safely in your harbor." His words naturally make the person reading the book laugh out loud and want to poke their partner and repeat it.
The photographs are very tasteful, with no below the waist frontal nudity. Everyone has been beautifully airbrushed and glows with health. I would have liked more realistic looking couples of a variety of ages, but I have a feeling the publisher might have disagreed with me.
MMPS is an excellent book for heterosexual couples and singles of all ages who want to bring more grace, style, and imagination into their sexual repertoire. You can read all of the suggestions and details, or just look at the pictures and follow the highlights. It is several steps above the usual sexual position book (that's for sure), and has information that real people will really use to improve their lives. This book is about making genital contact more pleasurable and meaningful. It's a great gift book for newlyweds, anniversaries, or your sweetie for a special occasion.

From the moment I read the dedication: "To My Mom and Dad: This is what happens when you teach your toddler how to arabesque..." I knew I was in for some fun! Mr. Garrison uses musical metaphors throughout this beautiful book to entice readers to try new rhythms to set the tempo of their sex life. He constantly surprises by offering insights in a way that makes one pause, smile and want to share them! This is not just another sexual how-to manual. This is a book that celebrates sexuality as a way for couples to celebrate themselves. Bravo!!

This book is terrific. It has a wide range of sex tips and positions for everyone from beginners to advanced lovers. My partners and I have also really enjoyed the way that the author arranges suggested positions as well as transitions between them to make sexual encounters that include experimentation inspired by this book flow well and feel natural. I would recommend this book to anybody interested in learning more about sex, especially in terms of spicing up their erotic life with new takes on old positions as well as some challenging and rewarding new additions. Excellent sex book, a perfect addition to any sexual person's library. A+

I got this book hoping to spark some new ideas for me and my boyfriend. However, after flipping through it and reading several sections, I've decided to return it. The advice ranges from mundane variations on typical positions to the final chapter which featured absolutely crazy positions, such as one where one partner stands completely upside down on her hands. There didn't seem to be much that we couldn't have come up with ourselves with a bit of experimentation (which is much more fun than reading) or that we wouldn't want to try because we're not acrobats. Additionally, some of the wording was far from sexy, such as a man giving cunnilingus "lapping at [the woman] like the loving man puppy" he is. I feel that books about sex should make me grin, not guffaw.

Eric Garrison gives us a delightful book full of down-to-earth, practical advice for lovers. The writing is witty and wise with plenty of solid content from his clinical experience plus humor and levity because, after all, it is just SEX we're talking about--it's supposed to be fun. I'm finding the book thoroughly engaging, smart and loaded with plenty of things I didn't know about. As a sacred sex educator, I would recommend it to anyone interested in learning some new tricks and expanding their sexual repertoire.

As a college student in a young relationship, talking about sex and initiating new positions can be uncomfortable; however, Eric Garrison has the uncanny ability to make readers feel comfortable exploring their bodies and experimenting with sex in new ways. By using clever metaphors, tasteful language and pictures, Garrison has created a fun, easy-to-read manual that readers can relate to. The book is devoted to both his AND her pleasure, which makes it a great read for couples. Garrison also incorporates difficulty ratings, safety information, and advice that help couples work their way up to more challenging positions. My most favorite thing about the book: the advice is healthy and real. The author acknowledges that mistakes happen and encourages readers to laugh them off and try again--practice makes perfect, and you'll enjoy a whole lot of fun along the way!

Mastering Multiple Position Sex: Mind-Blowing Lovemaking Techniques That Create Unforgettable Orgasms. By Eric Garrison. Quiver, 2009.191 pgs Paperback, $19.99.

Sexuality counselor Eric Garrison's first book, Mastering Multiple Sex Positions, scrumptiously illustrates systematic methods to advance your bedroom experience. While spending years of guiding his clients through healthy integration of their sexual expression, Garrison was in his own process of integration, of sexual expression in this fresh how-to approach for satisfying sex. I opened the bright, royally colored book, taking my page-by-page, sweet time, my mouth slightly ajar. Pictures - the wonderfully arousing pictures - grace each section in explanatory detail. Closing my mouth at the sensation of salivation, I found my way to the couch, content to take my time getting to know the ins and outs of Garrison's work. His voice speaks loudest to the youthful heterosexual couple, which is echoed by the photographs. Garrison individually gauges the difficulty level in his suggestions for bodily intense sexual maneuvers. He also transitionally arranges sexual sequences to allow for optimal time, sensation, and intimacy for couples. In terms of value, the book is a treasure chest of enjoyment for couples looking to update, explore, and experience one another abundantly. Health professionals now have a new, refreshing tool to use in therapy, as well as to be taken home as homework for clients.

The hubby and I were looking for some new ideas to spice things up in the bedroom. This book had great reviews, so I though why not. WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE? I can't move and balance like that and I am in great physical shape. I had no idea that I would need to take acrobat lessons to learn how to be more interesting in bed. I thought sexy was supposed to be a warm and relaxing excersize not a strenuous back breaking task. The stuff in this book doesn't even look fun.

We've tried almost all of these positions. Some are better than the others. Highly recommend. My wife says they sure do create some unforgettable O's!

I bought this book for a wedding gift for a friend from what the techniques that were featured in the book...I knew my friend would like it.
