This review is from: Sexpectations: Women Talk Candidly about Sex and Dating (The Ultimate Beginner Series : Basic) (Paperback)
Pitched in tone somewhere between a Cosmo Quiz and one of the raunchier Salon columns, this is a fun book and very difficult to put down once you pick it up. Always stimulating and often quite arousing, though rarely very specific or detailed, the book consist of a selection of short interviews with women who are not at all shy about talking about their (seemingly very active) sex lives. The author makes a point of asking each interviewee the fastest way to get her into bed. The most common response would seem to be, say hello, get me drunk, and make me laugh. Well, duh! Notwithstanding this advice, this is not a "how to get laid" manual. Unless I've led a much more sheltered life than I realized, these are women of somewhat - unusual - tastes and I would say the odds of running into anyone with these inclinations are pretty slim outside of a handful of specialist bars in one the larger metropolises. Assuming the author didn't just make up these characters, and the variations in tone would imply that this is not the case, I was left wondering exactly how he met these women. I would guess through ads in alternative news weeklies, swingers' magazines, etc. Can you say self selected sample? No big deal. There is no attempt at (social) scientific method or any other socially redeeming quality, this book just good, smutty fun, and a useful reminder of the almost infinite variety of human desire. And the cover photo is pretty cool.

A waste of time and money,
By A Customer
This review is from: Sexpectations: Women Talk Candidly about Sex and Dating (The Ultimate Beginner Series : Basic) (Paperback)
Ron Louis and David Copeland wrote one heck of a book--"How to Succeed With Women." After finishing I was inspired to read "Sexpectations" and came out completely disappointed. Sexpectations is crude, obnoxious, and offensive. Louis' study falls completely short of establishing a thorough and comprehensive study, and creates a one hundred-something page pornography. Moreover, Louis fails to interview thousands of women--a primary component of sociological and psychological studies--by gathering no more than a hundred women who explain their sexual fantasies. Louis then concludes that he has answered the question that Freud failed to achieve--what do women want? There is one underlining point that Louis does find that is legitimate--women seek men that have confidence. But who cares; Louis and Copeland have already pointed this out in "How to Succeed With Women." My advice is not to buy this book and do what I have done--go out into the world and find out what women want for yourself.

Certainly entertaining, but the women Louis speaks to are not necessarily your average sort of girl. There's an entire section devoted to professional dominatrixes...
