Ten Commandments of Pleasure [ABRIDGED] [AUDIOBOOK] (Audio Cassette)

~ Susan, Dr. Block (Author, Reader)

Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

According to sex therapist and erotic-philosopher Block, sexual stupidity is at the root of human problems, ranging from heartache, misery, and loneliness to prejudice, bigotry, and violence. Further, she asserts that even after the sexual revolution and contraceptive advances, a multitude of state laws and religious commandments pertaining to sexuality continue to be restrictive. She therefore offers 20 commandments?ten for women, ten for men?designed to help identify and activate both common and individual pleasure points vital to achieving sexual freedom. Together, these laws of love and pleasure embody a code that the author calls ethical hedonism. Although her advice constitutes an adequate workbook for individuals in healthy sexual relationships, it falls short of providing the detailed techniques in more comprehensive works such as Barbara Keesling's Sexual Pleasure (LJ 2/1/94). Block's sound-bite approach and irritating habit of referring to her readers as "darlings" also detract from the book's appeal. A marginal purchase for public libraries.?David Johnson, Fayetteville P.L., Ark.

5.0 out of 5 stars Never too late to learn!, May 17, 2000

By A Customer

The audio-tape of this book was excellent and very worth the money! At first, I didn't realize it was on tape, I thought I bought a book. Since it wasn't available in any other medium, I went ahead and listened to the tapes - and they were awesome! I'm in my 40s and this tape taught me new things to make my husband happy and he's noticed the difference. It also was right-on in telling the woman's point of view for my husband to hear; this tape said things I hadn't been able to. It's a great couple communication tool and just plain fun to hear. Enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars This book has changed my life!, July 2, 1998

By A Customer

Before I'd ordered this book, I was a sexual miscreant, abusing my precious sexuality in ways to horrible to mention here. However, after delving into Susan Block's masterpiece I emerged a sexual dynamo, crackling with the newfound libidinal energy unleashed through her detailed and easy to follow techniques. If you're interested in giving your sex life a swift kick in the pants, then this book is for you!

1.0 out of 5 stars TEN "EXTREMELY OBVIOUS" COMMANDMENTS, July 15, 2005

By	B. BOESENBERG "REPTILED" (WANAQUE, NJ United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Dr Block maybe an excellent therapist in person but on paper she writes with the grace of lead hippo! "Keep your partner's desires in mind." There, I summarized the entire book for you! That's all of it. If you're older than 13 you can probably skip this one. Were's Dr Ruth when you need her?!
