I ordered Sexier Sex after finishing Gina's first book, The Sexual Revolution 2.0: Getting Connected, Upgrading Your Sex Life, and Finding True Love -- or at Least a Dinner Date -- in the Internet Age. The new book is an interesting look at sexuality and the ways that modern (and not so modern) technology can enhance human interaction. The book is geared toward women, but as a man I found a lot of the sections helpful. Not only does the information help ME as well, but it gives me an amazing insight into how the modern, tech-savvy woman uses all her options when handling sex in the new millennium.

Many of the topics in the book are geared toward more inexperienced users of technology. Gina takes the time to really explain the beauty and the hazards that exist in technology. Her writing style is filled with little comments and asides that bring the articles to life the way no ordinary 'how to' book could. She uses personal experience from her real life (as well as the lives of her readers) to illustrate her points.

Fans of her column in Wired or of her blog will find the format of the book familiar. Each topic is covered in about 2-3 pages, with sidebars giving additional information or addresses to help research her topics more fully. I think the thing I love most about the book is that I have talked to Gina for a while now as a fan of her column, and you KNOW that she speaks from experience. She isn't afraid to tell it like it is, and if she recommends a product or service, you know she has real-world experience with it.

Her writing style is also engaging and leaves no doubt that this person would be someone YOU could have a conversation with over a cup of coffee and feel completely comfortable. Reading her articles is like talking to an old friend. She doesn't talk down to her readers if they are not as tech-savvy as she is. She takes time to really explain her topics well.

The words "awesome", "helpful", and "insightful" are an inadequate review of this book. This is an honest and delightful look at the sexual experiences pertaining to technology and one's self image. Although the book was written for women, much of the topics and the material can be applied to men as most topics deal with how to approach technology and sex rather than what to wear (although there is a chapter concerning lingerie). The author, Regina Lynn is very knowledgeable source of technology, sex, and how the two cross paths in today's digital age and her style of writing allows the subject to be less embarrassing and interesting to read through.

Regina Lynn has done it again. Sexier sex is a fun filled informative book. I actually read this with my sex partner who enjoyed it as much as I did. It is now a permanent bedside book. Regina's writing style keeps me excited. As a guy I felt like I was delving into a secret women's club at times, learning new and wondrous things. Go Regina. BTW, I absolutely love the size of the book.

The cover looks great right? Well that's the best it gets. Its more into voyeurism. Sole voyeurism. Like on the internet and how to set up your own sex site. Then how to make money off doing sex acts on it. I was hoping for something a little more partner or self oriented on making myself feel and act sexier. About 1/3 of this book is how to get sexier sex on the computer. Not what I was looking for all all. SKIP this one folks!
