4.0 out of 5 stars
More useful than I expected, December 20, 2004
This review is from: Tickle His Pickle: Your Hands-On Guide to Penis Pleasing (Paperback)
To be quite honest, I never imagined in a million years that a woman would need a book on how to please a penis. But the cute title of this tome and the reviews piqued my curiosity. Now, I don't claim to be a sex goddess, but when was the last time you met a nineteen-year-old penis that didn't literally jump out of the guy's shorts? Touching it causes it to quiver. But getting oral with it -- will literally send it to the moon!
Also, in talking with my girlfriends, I can't think of one instance where one of them has ever had a problem going down on a guy successfully. Looking back, I was nervous the first time I did it, as I'm sure most women are! But hey, have you ever met a guy who was shy about telling you exactly what he wanted? Not every guy is the same, I'm sure. But it doesn't take long to understand what get's him off! (Because he normally won't let you stop until he does!)
Granted, this book could be useful for girls who haven't done this before, or older women who are trying to rekindle their relationships. And if you're married to an older guy, it might take a little more coaxing to get the same response from him that was almost reflexive when he was younger. (Luckily, that's a bridge I haven't yet had to cross.)
This book, however, does give a lot of good background information, such as how to get yourself in the mood, and how to sharpen your "pleasure focus." There's a very thorough anatomy lesson, and tips on grooming and seduction. The author also devotes an entire chapter to using your hands - which did improve my own technique somewhat, but still not enough so that I could ever be successful with it. (Maybe penises aren't nearly as responsive as I had thought.)
The book also helps women to address the "gross" factor and overcome any misconceptions (or bad experiences) one may have had in the past. I guess I probably underestimated this as an issue, but the author talks about how the unpleasantness of a prior experience may prevent a woman from expressing her oral love for her man more completely.
Some of the last sections in the book deal with swallowing and deep throating. And the author encourages women to make the decision on their own as to how far they should go. (She breaks one of the topics into three sections: tasting, swallowing, and, of course, gagging. She also gives some suggestions how to accomplish the first - without necessarily having to experience the other two, which many women might find helpful.) She further explains how a man's flavor can vary - and how it can also be enhanced.
In regards to the latter point, she provides a recipe for a "smoothie sweetener" made with strawberries, blueberries, peaches, freshly squeezed orange juice, and bananas. (It sounds `yummy,' doesn't it?) And I don't know where my mind was at, but I thought the author was suggesting that a woman use this concoction - as a base -- to create a sort of mixed drink cocktail! It took me a few more moments to realize that she was intending for the MAN to drink this - BEFORE the love making session begins!
One of the last sections of the book - and the real reason I picked it up - was for the chapter on deep throating. I thought for sure that the author would advise me that my own problem with it was all mental, and that I just needed to relax in order to accept my lover more fully. But her instructions were actually much more practical - since she recommended a new position (lying on one's back with your head out over the edge of the bed) which positions your mouth and throat more in-line - sort of like a lady sword-swallower (but lying down instead of standing). At this higher level of achievement, gagging and controlling one's breathing both become more of an issue. But since I haven't tried to duplicate this - and I probably won't any time soon - I'll just have to take her word for it!
All in all, even though only 10% of this book was stuff I didn't know, I still got a lot out of it. Hopefully you will too!

4.0 out of 5 stars
I thought it would be "BIGGER" but then size does not matter, November 9, 2004
This review is from: Tickle His Pickle: Your Hands-On Guide to Penis Pleasing (Paperback)
Okay, this book should have been published in Hardback considering the price I paid but other than that the book is a keeper and 'super fun'.
There is nothing new in this book that you can't get from a dozen other sex educators but what makes this book special is the presentation. I said earlier, 'super fun', and Sadie Allison surely delivers that in this book published by TickleKitty. Where else will you find a cover with an enthusiastic woman and a pickle. I loved some of the chapter titles: He's comming, Slippery Stuff. Anyway, the book is full of facts, techniques, and some common sense advice when it comes to pleasing your man!
The book is broken down into ten chapters, an appendix, and a bonus letter at the end of the book. In 152 pages Sadie Allison covers everything you can do for your man with great caricature illustrations. The greatest message of the book is do it with 'enthusiasm' and I whole heartedly AGREE! If nothing else you'll have fun flipping through the pages and you might even learn a little something fun to do tonight.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Good read, but probably basic, August 15, 2005
This review is from: Tickle His Pickle: Your Hands-On Guide to Penis Pleasing (Paperback)
I bought this book in hopes I would get some simple, straightforward advice about how to perform oral sex and touch my boyfriend in pleasing ways. I don't have a whole lot of experience in these areas, and when in doubt, I read. This book certainly gave me the information that I wanted. The instructions were well illustrated, simple to follow, and haven't failed me yet. It's also short and easy to read. At the same time, I give the book 3 stars because, like some of Sadie Allison's other books, the techniques covered in the book are a bit simplistic. If I'd really sat down and thought about it or simply practiced, I probably could have come up with most of the things in this book on my own. If you have a lot of experience, this book probably won't give you much useful information.
