I bought the love of my life this book for Valentine's Day. It truly is the gift that keeps on giving! It is so exciting planning the adventure for your lover and just as exciting to be on the receiving end! We already had a great love life and this book has made it even better. We can't wait to buy more Laura Corn books! This one is like looking forward to a romantic mini-vacation to exotic parts unknown every weekend with the most important person in your life.

I bought this book as a gag gift for my friend's bachelorette party. In terms of content, the book looks appropriately cheesy & giggle-worthy...but my "new" book has damage on the binding and a big black mark across the tops of the pages (maybe because it's a bargain book). It looks like something you'd get at Half Priced Books for $3...which is disappointing because I definitely spent more than $3 on it!

Ms. Corn is getting a little tired. Not surprisingly, after several books with the same premise, her suggestions become repetitive and her writing trite and silly. (she comes from a daytime talk radio background. enough said.)
I got rid of this book for two specific reasons, however:
-in one of the sealed chapters, she admires Israeli women for doing army service.
She apparently thinks that they are hot, sexy and totally cool. Ms. Corn should refrain from expressing her political leanings in a book ostensibly about sex. If she approves of what the Israeli government is doing, then she might write a book of political commentary. Keep opinions like this out of a book on how to have hotter sex or risk offending those of your readers with strong feelings about Israel and Palestinians.
-in a chapter on "Jamaican sexual games", she states, quote: "all you need is some dreads and a tan, and you'd be a Caribbean rent-a-gent already." end-quote.
This comment presupposes that the book is meant for a white audience, and is all-in-fun blatant racism, AM talk radio style. There is a book called It's the Little Things: Everyday Interactions That Anger, Annoy, and Divide the Races
which illustrates the subtle and unconscious racism that whites inflict on blacks, asians and latin people, which they are always and invariably shocked about when it is pointed out to them. Ms. Corn might do well to read it. This is something I have seen over and over in books written by whites meant for a mass audience, even in books offering "beauty tips" and makeup advice.
The book has, to give credit where it is due, some inspiring suggestions; but nothing to justify buying the book. Get it used, if you must get it at all. And oh yes, she states that your facial lips "have the highest concentration of nerve endings on the human body." Rubbish. Researcher after researcher has concluded that the highest concentration of nerve endings on a human body are in the glans tip of a woman's clitoris. 8000, to be exact. Ms. Corn, engage facts before starting keyboard.
