Apprehensions Dispelled by Comprehensive Pep Talk, August 2, 2007
This review is from: Mistress Allure's Guide to Forbidden Eroticism for Adventurous Couples (Paperback)
This may be kind of a scary topic for many, but worth understanding better. My apprehensions were dispelled immediately. It's really an enjoyable read, done in graceful language, sounding more delicious than dirty, and full of well-turned phrases and well-placed witticisms.
This is a heckuva sales job promoting practices and cultures that may be threatening to the uninitiated. Elliot's breezy conversational tone is appropriate and effective. It's like learning about the (advanced) facts of life from a well informed and lighthearted friend.
Sometimes the joys of other-than-vanilla sex are over-elaborated, like a thesaurus of kink, but maybe that's necessary to overwhelm (or overcome -- so to speak) the readers' resistance and inhibitions.
Harder to overcome may be the readers' decrepitude. The spirit may be willing, but advancing age doesn't always promote passion, except in memory and imagination. "Old age is when it takes you all night to do what you used to do all night..." Still and all, some of these recipes for gourmet sensuality might be what the doctor ordered, and this friendly and comprehensive pep talk might be the ideal form of delivery.
And it's imbued with a constant appeal to artistry, from the graceful language to the underlying attitude of offering creative ways to improve our lives by enhancing our sensual repertoires and expanding our emotional palettes.
I like that in a book, and in my friends and lovers too. I'm ready to get me a harness and ball gag. Maybe a Prince Albert too.
Ouch! Maybe not...

Sexiest & Funniest Book I've Read in Years!, August 20, 2007
This review is from: Mistress Allure's Guide to Forbidden Eroticism for Adventurous Couples (Paperback)
Now I fully understand what all those Anne Rice novels were all about! And this book actually gives you step-by-step instructions on HOW TO DO all these wonderful and very naughty delights. I liked it a lot! Between being so steamy, nasty, SEXY and filled with humor and wit I never expected, I was always on the verge of doing it in my pants either with sexual excitement...or laughter.

Good place to start., September 9, 2009
This review is from: Mistress Allure's Guide to Forbidden Eroticism for Adventurous Couples (Paperback)
I found this book is for the "vanilla" couple ready and willing to try new things to spice up the bedroom. If your allready pretty spicy, you may have allready acted out some of the said scenes. The author shares good ideas, the scenes were well written and creative.
