4.0 out of 5 stars Laughably Dated but Surprisingly Solid, April 27, 2003

By 

"bellebetebooks" (Allegan, MI USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Sensuous Woman (Paperback)

The "how to please your man" tone had my inner feminist cringing a bit, but most of the advice was quite solid. Respect for yourself and your feelings, a giving attitude, and acceptance of the little foibles that all men and women are prone to will make you happier and more exciting in bed. Ms. J has a no-nonsense, big-sisterly style that is quite assuring. Her advice about "veneral disease" is strictly 1969, but even there she has something timeless to say - "If...there is something wrong in the genital area, don't sit around frozen in fear, run to the gynecologist." For the most part she says what countless others have said since - Self-confidence is sexy and taking responsibility for your own pleasure is even sexier.

5.0 out of 5 stars Old but GREAT, August 31, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Sensuous Woman (Paperback)

The first time I read this book I was too bashful to read it completely. It may be considered out of date in alot of factors but I know I'm good at what I do because of what I learned in the book. I give this book to newlyweds and couples who are in trouble. I have yet to be told they didn't appreciate the gift.

5.0 out of 5 stars Unsatisfied sexually? Never again!, October 23, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: The Sensuous Woman (Paperback)

I first read this book when I was 18. At first it was just out of curiosity, but after I became sexually active I read it more seriously. I didn't actually attempt any of the acts described until a couple of years later and I have never had ONE complaint. It really taught me alot, and for those women who are too embarassed to practice the Keigle (sp?) exercises, don't be. The exercise alone is capable of bringing a man to his knees - trust me, I know. I have told countless people about this book and those who bought it AND utilized it swore that their sex life improved greatly. I highly recommend this book to anyone who has never had an orgasm or whose sex life is less than thrilling or for someone just starting out. Find someone you love, or like ALOT, and GET THIS BOOK!
