The Pocket Book of Sexual Fantasies: Inspiration for Lovers [Paperback]

Richard Craze (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: October 30, 2000

The secret realm of fantasy can be a rich resource for developing a more passionate and fulfilling sexual relationship, as well as for exploring one's own sexuality. This invitation to romantic discovery delves into why fantasies are important both personally and in relationships and how to go about sharing them safely. Richard Craze discusses how to get beyond inhibitions, how to set limits and say "stop" without undermining the erotic moment, how to take turns, and how to keep play from becoming competitive or manipulative. He addresses the differences between men's and women's hidden desires, and guides readers through 26 common genres of fantasy, including bondage, striptease, voyeurism, fetishism, toys, teasing, leather and lace, exhibitionism, and cross-dressing. With this handy guide, acting out fantasies can become both pleasurable and fun. The book is illustrated with original artwork and over 60 sensual color photographs.

This review is from: The Pocket Book of Sexual Fantasies: Inspiration for Lovers (Paperback)

I've read several titles by this author and I'm now hooked. this man knows how to write about sex in a way that i would never have thought possible. He must really speak fluent woman! In this book there are several of my own personal favorite fantasies and he puts them into words that made me shiver. If you're gonna go for it buy this first and wet your appetite - and lots of other things as well.

3.0 out of 5 stars worthwhile intro, August 16, 2004

This review is from: The Pocket Book of Sexual Fantasies: Inspiration for Lovers (Paperback)

This book is a good introduction to the subject of sexual fantasy, but I'd say it serves more as inspiration than as more explicit "how-to" for anyone interested in more developed fantasy scenarios.

Some of the "fantasies" aren't very risque (entries of getting wet with water; "elegant sex" e.g. dressing up to go out and having sex afterwards) but are good reminders of nice things to do with your partner.

The photos are generally tasteful but in some points verge on cheesy or like the protagonists don't *really* know what they are doing (especially in the entry on "tantric sex" where the couple in the photo don't look like they've ever held their hands in a mudra before).

This is a nice, quick read to refresh or inspire your own imagination, or to give to a partner as a cute and unexpected gift.
