Book Description

October 1, 2004
The book that opened the door to the exciting world of sexual archetypes now in paperback!

Joseph Campbell meets Dr. Ruth in this entertaining and enlightening sex manual. Sexologists Oona Mourier and Jim Herriot identify nine sexual archetypes, and describe how each approaches sex, love, and life. Readers learn which archetypes they and their lovers represent, what their compatibilities are, what their potential clashes may be, and how to resolve those clashes. Most importantly, they learn how to draw upon the aspects of all the archetypes, thereby eliminating boredom in the bedroom and maximizing their sexual pleasure.

The intent is serious, but the approach is lively, fun, and upbeat. Each section offers suggestions for setting the stage: costumes, props, music, foods, atmosphere. Plus step-by-step exercises couples can work through together to evoke the archetypes and explore them to their fullest. It provides concrete instruction, but also shows readers how to explore the magical and mystical aspects of sex as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars New Possibilities For Even the Most Experienced, March 16, 2004
By 
Dr. Peter Ward (Jackson, WY United States) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Herriot and Mourier introduce nine sexual archetypes that help you explore the vast dimensions of your sexuality. Archetypes are idealized examples of approaches to heartfelt, soulful love. They are a palette of primary ecstatic faces that you can wear during your moments of bedroom bliss: the Innocent, Adventurer, Sensualist, Seeker, Revealer, Magician, Mystic, Nurturer, and Artist. From this palette, you and your partner can create infinite ecstatic possibilities that will certainly deepen and lengthen your relationship. But this book is more than an introduction. In a very non-threatening, playful and fun-loving manner, the authors describe the archetypes one at a time, explaining specific ways to communicate better with your partner about them and suggesting approaches to help you both get started. This short handbook should open many vistas for those who want to deepen their primary relationship and make their time together more blissful. You probably use some of these approaches now, but focusing on them and seeing how they all fit together should open new possibilities for even the most experienced.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun, sexy - and deeply spiritual. Beautifully written., April 27, 2004
By 
"petercalifornia" (Los Angeles, CA USA) - See all my reviews
I just finished reading "9 Secrets", and I loved it. It's extremely well written -- and wonderfully subversive: it starts out simple and fun, to get you relaxed and comfortable, and then the book slowly gets more and more intense, and mystical, and cosmic, till finally it's dealing with the really important aspects of sexuality/spirituality, with no apologies or watering down.
