Product Description

By the author of Quiver's best-selling title

Most books on sexuality teach women that satisfying their partner is the key to a great sexual experience. However, for most women, great sex is predicated on understanding their own bodies and desires first. Moreover, a woman's sexual desires and preferences aren't fixed-they are greatly impacted by physical changes such as pregnancy, menopause, and hormonal fluctuations. This guide provides a comprehensive overview of all the sexual options available for women throughout their lifetime. Intrepid sex journalist and expert Susan Crain Bakos provides in-depth treatment of every sexual option available to the sexually active woman. This resource shows any women how to sexually satisfy themselves and their partners, through masturbation, touching, oral sex, and intercourse. Racy, full-color photographs will instruct women on positions, foreplay techniques, and how to use sex toys on themselves or others. Women will also gain a deeper understanding of their own unique physiology, how to achieve orgasm, and how to stay healthy as they explore different sexual options.

About the Author

Susan Crain Bakos, dubbed "our most peripatetic sex journalist" by Publishers Weekly, has interviewed thousands of men and women about their sexual behavior and attitudes. She is the author of The Sex Bible, and has also written numerous magazine articles for publications such as Redbook, Cosmopolitan, Marie Claire, Men's Health, and Penthouse. She lives in New York City.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good not great, April 2, 2009

By	D. Thomas - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The Sex Bible for Women covers a lot of material. I wouldn't call it a bible though because I think a bible would cover a lot more, but what it does cover, it covers in detail.

--Arousal versus desire in women is covered and I have not seen any book give a better explanation than this one.

--The feeling/excitement of a new relationship verus a longer relationship is explained and some tips for keeping things good are mentioned.

--Of course positions are mentioned, not hundreds of positions, but the basics and some ideas of how to make them sizzle.

--The orgams loop, a method to get women to orgasm consistently is also explained in detail.


There are many other topics that you can see by looking in the table of contents.

One depressing part about the book is that the author more or less encourages infidelity. Integrity seems to be less and less of a trait these days.

Overall, I would say the book is good, not great. I think it is worth checking out, but I don't think it will go down as a classic.
