From the Publisher
When it comes to the language of love, we may talk a good game in the powder room or the locker room, but we still have a lot to learn where it counts most... the bedroom. According to sex therapist Dr. Barbara Keesling, nothing is more exciting than talking sexy to the one you love and having him or her talk sexy to you. The right words at the right time can start a fire burning inside that feels like it will never go out. It can make you feel breathless, insatiable and unstoppable, and it can do the same for your partner.

Talk Sexy to the One You Love (and Drive Each Other Wild in Bed) is for all of us who are ready to heat up our lovemaking by learning to ask for what we really want and to say how we really feel. Talking sexy does not mean being degrading or disgusting. It means being provocative, seductive and secure. It means heightening sexual chemistry and having a lot more fun in bed.

"Talking sexy can change the way you experience sex," says Keesling. It can put sizzle in your love life, connect you to your deepest desires and most profound passions and unleash your greatest sexual power. It's hot, it's exciting, it's surprising and it's safe. "Be adventurous, be creative, be crazy, be dirty, be playful, be daring -- and, for the rest of your life, be the sexy woman you were always meant to be."

Dr. Keesling's exercises move from tame icebreakers to bona fide ice melters, showing us how to vocalize the thoughts that may always be on our minds -- by having fun with enticing adjectives, vocalizing sexual fantasies or reading aloud sexy bedtime stories. Talk Sexy to the One You Love offers safe and stimulating lessons to achieve a more enjoyable, fulfilling and electrifying love life. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Learning to talk sexy without talking smack, January 29, 2006

By	K. Fish "Great White Hunter" (California, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

My wife and I have been reading this book together, and it is a real "ear-opener." It is remarkable how uncomfortable most men and women are with truly sensuous talk in today's world where sex seems to be ubiquitous. However, just as there is a difference between f***ing and making love, there is a difference between the raunchy, cheap smut talk and truly erotic, intimate talk between lovers. If you are looking for smack, don't buy this book. If you are looking to express yourself in words that will truly animate and stimulate your sex life, this is a terrific book. One word of warning: There are 51 exercises in the book, and doing them will take some time. This is not a book to blaze through, check the box, and say, "OK, now I've read that book and I know how to talk sensually with my lover." Good sex is not automatic, and neither is good erotic dialogue. Practice makes perfect.

1.0 out of 5 stars No ideas, September 6, 2005

By	Sylvia Lawrence (New York, NY USA) - See all my reviews

I should've paid more attention to who the author was. She has the talent of creating a book without much essence and with tons of fluff. There are practically no ideas of what to say, just exercises of how to reach your own source of creativity and come up with the words. The whole book can be summarized in one plain sentence, "Get yourself in the mood and let go of inhibitions."
