1.0 out of 5 stars Why a Middle Aged White Woman assumes all Black men want her!, February 3, 2011

Susan Bakos is a hack plain and simple. In her many "essays" around the web she often times will go into great detail about why "she" likes this as opposed to that, and why "she" prefers "Black Men" to "White men".. and why "Black men" prefer her. It's absolutely nauseating from the black perspective. Here this "well past her prime" sexual dynamo once again displays why her advice is as dated as her hair style... seriously. This woman is gross, inside and out. From her class-ism's to her indelicate handling of race and relation. She is an absolute train wreck... I found her through a white woman I dated for a year and half. She had been reading some of Miss Bakos rubbish and was very excited to finally understand what her extreme attraction to black men was all about... I felt immediately objectified and studied. It ruined my relationship with this woman, I couldn't look her in the face after reading the article that had free'd her from her quandary.
In her sex bible she once again talks from a perspective of clinical froth and romance-less pessimism. There are many great sex manuals out there and they serve to re-excite and further the bliss that well performed sex offers the players, this however... is an extreme
YAWN!
Bakos needs to get back to the classroom, and maybe start up a relationship with someone as Jaded and high stepping as herself. From where I sit the only possible thing this woman can hope to do for the sex lives of all who read her, is make it harder to enjoy and appreciate the natural desire and selection process that we are all born to experience...

This review is from: The Sex Bible: The Complete Guide to Sexual Love (Paperback)

Unless you are total virgin, this book is a waste of time and money. Definitely do not buy this book if you have or intend to purchase the Orgasm Bible - they are the same book except for maybe 3 pages. What a waste of money. Not a waste of time as there is very little substance in this book by way of words, pictures, or wisdom. Save your money.

4.0 out of 5 stars A very visual guide, January 31, 2009

I bought this as an "adult" give for my husband. There wasn't really much "new" it in. But it does have tastefully done pictures. If you are looking for a "manual" this isn't really it. BUT if you are looking for a way to open up on a more intimate level with your partner this is a good place to start.
