After having three children in six years of marriage, my husband and I agree that we know HOW to have sex. But our sexual experience had become almost mechanical, and we wanted to re-ignite the spark we felt in the beginning of our relationship. This book was the perfect tool. The tone was neither too "clinical" nor too "raunchy", and the exercises were easy to understand and implement (not to mention fun!). The text was also accompanied by very tasteful erotic photographs. I highly recommend this book - you will not be dissapointed!

Dr. Keesling's book is written in an easily understood, progressive manner. Clear explanations are followed by simple, enjoyable exercises. Her words are very encouraging and the results manifest quickly. This book is for anyone hoping to both give and receive a higher quality of sexual pleasure and intimacy

Barbara Keesling's sex and relationship book, Sexual Pleasure (2nd ed., 2005), is a great book for both women and men, with lots of practical advice and over one hundred exercises, some specifically for men or for women, many for both. I especially liked her clear expression of the importance and exercising of the PC muscles for men and women. She not only deals nicely with the G-spot orgasm and female ejaculation (a favorite of mine), but also brings new research results about three other female sexual arousal centers: the A-spot, U-spot, and X-spot. Readers will both learn and be able to apply Keesling's information to expand the possibilities of their own love lives.

I've been married for 13 years, and I'm madly in love with my wife. We're close in every way, but the sex side hasn't been a big part of our marriage. (Sure, having 2 young kids in the house might have something to do with it!)

This book helped opened up a dialog about sex in our marriage. Since it focuses on developing intamacy and pleasure (as opposed to offering just a variety of positions), my wife was receptive to it. She's not a prude, but she was brought up with the idea that sex is serious business. (I was brought up without ANY discussions of sex!) Keesling's book let us learn together to be open to more sensuality. It's helping my wife get in touch with herself (pun intended), and will hopefully lead to viewing sex as a natural way to relax and have fun togehter. Keesling helps take the anxiety out of it. If that's what you're looking for, then this is a good place to begin.

I really enjoyed this book! I've been looking for a training manual for my penis for a long time and this one is the best I've found so far. I believe the exercises have been helpful. When I find the right woman I will be prepared to give her so much of myself, she will die in my body. Barbara provides very good male exerices for my sensitive and reasonable hang. There should be more books like this for males who want to keep there sexual staying power.

The only missing thing, and for that reason, missing from ALL similar books, is a list of food and drink that will keep my pride and joy, health and in habitual motion without taking those pills and other crap I get in my SPAM folder that probably will hurt me.

I hope she comes out with another book like this... being bias... for males.

I did not think this book was very good. I have been married for 2 years and I did not learn anything new from this book. I would say that over half the book and most of the exercieses are about how to play with yourself. For those of us that are not into that this is not a good book (Besides I wanted a book about sex not masturbation). Some of the exercieses are good but they seem to repeat themself and not expand on anything. It does teach some good stuff about self control which you can learn from but not very good for a beginner and not much there for the advanced. If you have even a little imagination and common sense you should be able to figure most of this out on your own.

This book definitely doesn't fall into the "playful ideas to spice up a decade-old marriage" category. The series of exercises, with the writer's continual admonitions to NOT skip any, because they MUST be done in order, made it seem more like math homework for a class you wish you had remembered to drop in time. Too much work and not enough fun, yuk.
