4.0 out of 5 stars Is getting totally involved in daydreams a key to great sex?, June 10, 2000

This review is from: Ordinary Women, Extraordinary Sex: Releasing the Passion Within (Paperback)

Full of beautifully inspiring stories of women who regularly have extraordinary sex, with orgasms so good the "earth moves"... and ways of developing the qualities and attitudes those women have. Their research shows that being able to vividly imagine an experience, and the ability to become totally absorbed in what you are doing, are the key qualities these women share.

5.0 out of 5 stars Proof of What I've always thought, August 20, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Ordinary Women, Extraordinary Sex: Releasing the Passion Within (Paperback)

I found this book to be very informative and helpful. I have been with my husband for 12 years and have always thought this kind of sexual experience was possible. It was great to read of other women's experiences and know that what I always thought could happen is happening! I brought me back to the hope that sex can be more then just a physical act, but a communing of the souls, a way to come in contact with our true selves. It offers suggestions for ways to come closer to this kind of experience for yourself and your partner, by using studies of women who have already achieved this kind of experience. I found it to be inspiring.

5.0 out of 5 stars Life altering!, November 19, 2007

This review is from: Ordinary Women, Extraordinary Sex: Every Woman's Guide to Pleasure and Beyond (Paperback)

This book details interviews with woman who regularly have extra-sensory experience during sex. At the end it also has a 'test' to see if you are the sort of woman who might also be capable of having these sorts of reactions. Reading this book led me to the conclusion that my life wasn't what I wanted it to be; it was the catalyst to help me figure out old blockages in my emotions that were keeping me from living life fully.

While it may not have all the answers to having happy relationships, it certainly gives a good road-map to show how some women have learned to liberate their own passionate souls. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wishes to make their relationship more joyful; it certainly kicked me in the right direction.

Along with this book, I highly recommend reading "Women's Infidelity: Living in Limbo" by Michelle Langley. Warning for men and women both; be prepared to change how you think about sex and your relationship and be prepared to answer some insightful questions about yourself.
