This review is from: The Practical Encyclopedia of Sex and Health: From Aphrodisiacs and Hormones to Potency, Stress, Vasectomy, and Yeast Infection (Hardcover)

Every person should have this book in their home. Men and women of all ages will benefit from using this information that has been so accurately and tastefully presented.

The book answers thousands of questions that many people are afraid or too embarassed to ask. Even though the book was written in the early 90's, it has up to date information on human sexuality and health issues. This great book covers everything from stress, hormones, potency, vasectomy, yeast infections, to performance and sex aids. It also has chapters on desire, the g-spot, homosexuality, std's hysterectomy, oral sex, orgasm, spermicides premature ejaculation, pregnancy, childbirth, puberty fantacies, dreams, cancer, castration, circumcision and much much more.

The book is packed with sound advise. I just gave my copy to my younger sister. She was amazed about all the answers she got from this great book. I highly recommend it to all families. It is well written and contains a great source of information.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Educational, something Parents can't teach, May 3, 2006

By 

Steve "Ugh, College" (Lakewood, Ohio) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Practical Encyclopedia of Sex and Health: From Aphrodisiacs and Hormones to Potency, Stress, Vasectomy, and Yeast Infection (Hardcover)

This book is everything one would need to know about sex, safe sex, and knowing the human anatomy. Men and women. This book would answer questions that one would be embarrass to ask. It has factual statistics, concrete studies, and plentiful resources to expand your world in the field of Sex. I paid $2.00 for this book and I wouldn't mind if a 10 year old child gets hold of this book, because it would only benefit that child to teach them about their body and life itself about sex.

4.0 out of 5 stars It's like a good sex..., March 29, 2001

By 

"dannydan" (San Francisco, CA, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Practical Encyclopedia of Sex and Health: From Aphrodisiacs and Hormones to Potency, Stress, Vasectomy, and Yeast Infection (Hardcover)

This is a must-have book for couples and singles who are sexually active. I found this book very informative in a very direct way. It's like a having a sexual therapist right in front of you. The book shows each issue in alphabetical order so it's very easy to reach the information I need. At first I thought it's more like a reference book, but after reading more, I found this book very readable, lively, and full of, not just knowledge about sex, but also advice. It answers thousand questions that many people feel embarrassed to ask. This book is like a good sex, you'd better read it before having it.
