Amazon.com Review

"Sex is a bit like typing," explains Australian sex writer Tracey Cox in Hot Sex. "You can get by using two fingers, but you'll never be as good as someone who did the secretarial course and practiced every night." Cox provides the "secretarial course," starting with 27 pages on masturbation and continuing through variations and nuances of every sex act a man and woman might do together. You get explicit lessons in erotic massage, oral sex, intercourse positions (including "orgasm potential for her" and "how to make it even better"), and much more. Equal time is given to men and women, with the sections labeled for quick reference.

This book is ideal for the sexual novice (it includes a first-timer's guide), or for someone who hasn't felt confident enough to experiment. Sexually experienced readers will learn how to understand themselves and their partners better, such as how to make your orgasm last 1,790 times longer, and how to find the A-spot (halfway between the cervix and the G-spot). The writing style is lively, sexy, and often funny, with comments such as, "People on soap operas have simultaneous orgasms more often than they eat breakfast but it's a little different in the real world," and earthy advice like, "Go for it. Make so much noise, your neighbours consider double-glazing their windows." --Joan Price --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

From Library Journal

Cox is a popular provider of sex advice in Australia. Her how-to is an enthusiastic, slangy, and comprehensive guide primarily for twenty- and thirtysomething heterosexuals. The sections on foreplay, intercourse, oral sex, contraception, and STDs are outstanding, and much of the rest of the book is direct and on target. Unfortunately, Hot Sex is marred by occasional bad editing and sloppiness, notably in a dictionary with grossly inadequate definitions. There are unpredictable shifts in point of view and some incomplete or confusing descriptions of body parts and techniques. Australianisms like STI instead of STD are not translated. A few illustrations and a short bibliography or resource list would also have helped. These shortcomings do not seriously compromise the books value for large collections, but smaller libraries can stick with Sari Lockers Mindblowing Sex in the Real World (HarperPerennial, 1995; Sex Texts Come out of the Closet, LJ 10/1/97, p. 5356.) for the same age group.Martha Cornog, Philadelphia

5.0 out of 5 stars A fun & informative read - spices up any relationship, October 14, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Hot Sex: How to Do It (Paperback)

A brilliant book. It explains the basics behind sex with loads of facts and figures and loads of stories from 'normal' people. It's a great bed-time read, and you can dip in and out as you choose. It's got loads of ideas from the very basic to the more bizarre to help spice up your love life, or just to solve any problems that may arise. It's great to know you're not alone! It's written in just the right tone - educational, amusing and not at all patronising - an absolute must-read for anyone whether your in a relationship or not.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book really rocks the bed..., December 11, 2002

By	neil (London) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Hot Sex: How to Do It (Paperback)

A visually stunning book that is more coffee table than reference book. Yet it still manages to be informative and fun to a degree that so few of these genre of books ever are, as it maintains a level of lightheartednesss where appropriate. I loved lines like "a mouthful of spunk has the same amount of protein as an average sized pork chop". Brilliant.
It also doesn't frighten it's readers by over intellectualizing sex, instead keeping it both real and accessible to all. It deals with sexual problems with both sensitivity and an understanding that offers geniune and new ways out of the darkness.
It has REALLY improved mine and my girlfriends sex lifes no end.
