This guide takes the fear factor out of anal sex and shows heterosexual couples the best positions for pain-free pleasure. Introductory material which will discuss how to experience anal sex safely and pleasurably, hygiene and safety, bringing up the topic with a partner, and the use of sex toys and accessories. Subsequent chapters will be position-specific: positions for first-timers; positions to spice up your repertoire; and advanced positions.

1.0 out of 5 stars Who writes these reviews?, July 7, 2009

By	J. C. Pelzer (Honolulu, HI USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

For an "expert," the author added nothing to our bank of knowledge. Everything here has been written before (by her plus everyone else) and anyone who has ever watched a porno has seen all these positions a thousand times.

Frankly, I was surprised at the glowing reviews. Then I noticed that they were all written within a few days of each other and most were clustered in New England where the book was published. Looks like friends and family joined in to pump up sales of a second-rate effort.

3.0 out of 5 stars Nice Pictures, May 9, 2009

By	SevenDelta - See all my reviews

If you were expecting porn, this is artistic soft-core with lots of concealing shadows. And, that's about all. Ms Taormino has already written several books and this one adds very little. A picture on one side, a few sentences on the facing page, some scattered "Words to Inspire You" and, suddenly you have flipped through 179 pages. I doubt seriously that any reader will touch this book twice.

Here's the bottom line: The vagina and the anus are about an inch apart. Any position for vaginal sex will work just fine for anal sex. My only exception would be Reverse Cowgirl because bending the penis too far toward his feet can cause grievous injury. Strange to me -- Reverse Cowgirl is the position on the cover.

This book is probably one book too many but now Ms Taormino is recyling with a new tome entitled "Expert Guide to Anal Pleasure for Men." How many times can she go to the same well before the bucket comes up empty?

Five stars for soft-core artistry, one star for information, average -- three stars.

2.0 out of 5 stars not for experienced couples, May 15, 2009

By	plush (Ca) - See all my reviews

Wish I had read Seven Delta's review before I purchased this book. As stated the pictures are not explicit and the text is very basic. I guess it's o.k. if you know nothing about anal activities.
