Anyone who is unhappy with the relationships they have, sexual or not, can benefit a LOT from this book. It's funny, witty, and thought provoking. Not just about sex, but about *you*, and why you don't have the relationships you want.

This is not about the sexual positions of sex but about intimacy in the context of sex.It tells you why you are after it and how most of the time you have been or got programmed in Life to not get it. One is also better off reading his other books before getting this one i.e. `Games People Play' and `What do you say after you say hello'.

The title is misleading. This book is about much more than just sex. A good explanation of Berne's teaching, easier to follow than the complex `Games People Play.' I wish I had taken the lessons of this book on board when I first read it at 18. The moral of the book: most of us have unhappy scripts handed to us by our parents which make our lives unfulfilled, sometimes tragically unhappy, but those scripts can be rewritten with determination and insight. The humour is a bit too cutesy but the book deserves a 5 for sure.

I bought and read this book years ago. The title was probably used make the book sound "sexy", when in reality it is a very well written book of the love that can be shared between a woman and man. It has a bit of appropriate humor and a great deal of the romance that can develope between two people that have "found" each other. One fine example are words taken from a short story of the love that can be developed between two lovers. i.e. "when one dies, the other soon follows". I have enjoyed reading the excerps many times. Of course sex is discussed, but always in a loving way.
