A helpful, unique method to orgasm, October 25, 2008
This review is from: Orgasm Loop: The No-Fail Technique for Reaching Orgasm During Sex (Paperback)
I was intrigued by the idea of the orgasm loop as a systematic method. Other books suggest similar forms of visualization and fantasy, but the instructions tend to be vague and unstructured. I think it is useful to have a set of visualizations, and a purpose to each one, because the mind has a tendency to wander during sexual arousal. Some readers may be put off or intimidated by the New-Agey premise of the Orgasm Loop, but these elements are designed to link the mind to the body and therefore enable the woman to bring herself to orgasm using self-dependent techniques. Bakos has made the steps accessible to even the most mainstream audience. I am between boyfriends at the moment and have decided to use this time to figure out how to stop faking during sex. So I have not been able to use the Loop with a partner yet, but once I master the technique I will be sure to take it to bed with my next lover. I found it to be extremely helpful as well as effective in the solo arena, however.
I do have one complaint for the book. I feel that it was not descriptive or instructive enough in the way we are supposed to construct the three steps of the Loop in our minds. There are three steps - the arousal image, the energy movement, and the fire breathing. The author fails to mention if we are supposed to cease each step as we go into the next step, or if we are supposed to maintain each step as we add the next (which becomes a lot to keep track of). And in the case of the fire breathing, she mentions that we are supposed to create a circle of fire with our breath, but she fails to mention what path that circuit is supposed to take (ie where the "fire" goes after you exhale it). These complaints are hard to understand without having read about the Orgasm Loop already, but I have found that when I don't know the answer to these questions, my concentration occasionally breaks and so does the Orgasm Loop... and this could be avoided if the author had simply been more specific.
Despite this, I still recommend this book to any woman who is having trouble with her orgasm. I plan to buy Bakos' Tantra book next.

Only if you are alone!, November 19, 2008
This review is from: Orgasm Loop: The No-Fail Technique for Reaching Orgasm During Sex (Paperback)
The technique consists of disassociating from the "here & now" to concentrate on hocus-pocus. Making love, by definition, involves a partner and this book seems to exclude whomever you are with. You may have an orgasm but aren't you merely mentally masturbating while your partner does the work?
If women are having difficulty with orgasm, I recommend the "combo" technique taught in "Anal Sex for Couples: A Guaranteed Guide to Painless Pleasure" by Strong. The women I know say this delivers the most powerful orgasm ever. Even if not, at least this is making love and not drifting in the ether of some netherworld.
For a better understanding of orgasm, I also recommend "Clitoral Truth" by Chalker.

Just another catchy title, January 8, 2012
This review is from: Orgasm Loop: The No-Fail Technique for Reaching Orgasm During Sex (Paperback)
Wow... What to say. This is my first review so I hope it does not suck as much as this book.
This book is like most bad self help books... long on catchy titles and catchphrases, but very short on real help or understanding. This author seems to be coasting on some kind of past reputation but her understanding of sex and orgasm seems simple and full of misinformation. Chapters about "the arousal image", "the energy movement", and the "fire breathing"?... Please... give me a break, when you have to resort to so many one liners and quotable catchphrases, how good can the instruction be. This book does not give details on the how or why, it does not give enough time to communication, which is such a key to enjoyment of so many things in so many areas of life. To be honest I would be upset that I paid for this except that I got the book in a dirty Santa so I was lucky and did not have to pay for such mindless babble.
