Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

Pleasing color sketches and simple diagrams adorn the pages of Satisfaction: The Art of the Female Orgasm by famed Sex and the City actor Kim Cattrall and her husband, jazz musician Mark Levinson. The fact that Cattrall's character on the show, Samantha Jones, is a sexual giantess is likely to bump up sales a notch for this attractive, children's-size book, but nevertheless it's a very worthwhile read.

Simple concepts--open communication, trust, love, and a consistent interest in pleasing one another--are the ingredients for an enriching and fulfilling sex life that can bring two people ever closer, according to the text. The facts speak for themselves: when pressed, women will confess in droves that they are sexually frustrated. It's tricky to communicate one's carnal desires to one's lover, yet both parties must be open to this type of ongoing discussion for the formula to work.

Meanwhile, a little education for men can go a long way. The concepts are basic--anyone who isn't a virgin probably knows them. But the rub lies in the consistency, the selflessness, and the patience required of the man. Cattrall and Levinson ask their male readers how they'd feel if they experienced some physical pleasure during lovemaking but never got to climax; they would likely get frustrated after a while. So an abiding devotion to pleasing the woman is a basic assumption throughout, and one that isn't commonly pointed out in such an open way elsewhere. Some readers may think Cattrall and Levinson's approach offers nothing new or exciting, but this honest reminder of what it takes to be a sensitive and satisfying lover is just what the doctor ordered. --Teri Kieffer --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.



From Publishers Weekly

"Some people... assume that for me to play a sexually open character, like Samantha Jones on HBO's Sex and the City, I must have had fabulous sex most of my life. Well, the truth is that until three years ago most of my sexual experiences were miserable," confesses Kim Cattrall, in Satisfaction: The Art of the Female Orgasm, a slim yet pensive guide to pleasing women in bed. Simple sketches accompany the dry text (written by Cattrall and her husband, Mark Levinson), explaining different techniques men and women can use. This book is decidedly unflashy and its approach is not at all brashly sexual (like Cattrall's TV character). Rather, it is a thoughtful manual on women's orgasms.

4.0 out of 5 stars a manual in technique. good for everyone., March 10, 2002
By Holly Montgomery (Oklahoma City, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Other reviews for this title seem to be written by anonymous men and fueled by sour grapes. No book will make you a great lover, especially if you're not interested in what it asks you to do.

No, their partners do not cause all of the sexual problems in women, but some can be solved, regardless. This book isn't about pointing fingers in blame. It's about giving pleasure...that's all.

This book is a GREAT guide for oral sex, and really only touches lightly on anything else (to avoid redundancy, according to the authors. To paraphrase, "many great books have been written on technique in intercourse" etc). The authors were very specific in the problems pleasing most women, orally and otherwise. It addresses that all women are different, there's nothing that will work on everyone, and tips on how to find out what your female partner enjoys.

Even men (and women) that *think* they know how to satisfy a woman would learn something from this sensitive, well-written book. It's full of sexy secrets that will bring something new to bed...or improve old acts.

WARNING!!! THIS BOOK IS ALL ABOUT PLEASING WOMEN, mostly orally. If you're expecting anything but a book telling you how to UNSELFISHLY please a woman... look elsewhere. I think the title covers that, but some people just don't seem to understand.

This is a technical guide on how to cause the female orgasm.

Almost every page has artful, but very helpful, illustrations. I also like the *very* open ideas this book supports exploring (anal stimulation, for example).

The book is written for men, to use on women, it translates well for women to use on other women, too. The sections discussing penetration with the penis could easily be done with the hands, or device. The oral and hand stimulation sections need no translation.

My only true complaint about this book is size. It's a very large book. It's a pretty quick read, and easy to understand, but it won't fit on my bookshelf. It's more of a coffee-table book. What a thrill to your guests if *this* was in your living room.

In summary: this book could have been called "get her off: a diagrammed tutorial on how to use your mouth, hands, and body to make a woman orgasm" but it you'll have to lay it horizontally in your book case.

5.0 out of 5 stars If You Read This: She Will Come, September 14, 2002
By Annex "annexgirl" (Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada) - See all my reviews
I was extremely impressed with this book. As stated by the title, it is a guide to the female orgasm, so it focuses on that instead of intercourse as a whole.

It uses tasteful yet very useful illustrations and easy to understand directions. The tips in this book REALLY work and are a wonderful guide for men who really want to maximize their partners pleasure. Not all women are alike so they don't all respond to the same techniques. This book explores a wide array of ideas, and focuses on communication, to find out what a woman really likes.

I have read some of the reviews and have found a few negative ones written by men. But if the point of the book is to make a woman come, and the techniques listed in the book work (Do they ever, I'm STILL smiling) and focus on bringing the couple closer together, then how could a negative review be possible? Well, I suppose if a man is only focused on his own pleasure and is of a "get on, get in, get off and get out" mentality, then the book would not be of much use.

But as for you fine gentlemen out there who seek to please your partner and fine tune your techniques, I highly recommend this book. A satisfied woman is one who is more likely to spend more time on pleasing you. :)

3.0 out of 5 stars A book from a different angle, February 15, 2002
By Blade Fan (Albany, NY United States) - See all my reviews
First, let me start out by saying I am no expert in sex and hope not to portray that image in my review. I am going to attempt to write a useful review to those really contemplating on purchasing this book.

I bought this for my wife and I. I was hoping to read it with her, perhaps giggle a little and say "ohh, we gotta try that" but that never came. Fortunately, I don't feel like I lost a lot (only because it didn't cost much). This book is probably most useful to the couples that don't really communicate sexually and especially for those men that are doing the same things and are almost certain it isn't working. Think of its purchase like this. You spend less than $20 to get something new to try. It may work for her, and it may not. But, if your game is already scoring major points or the two of you communicate well enough to explore and find out what works (the best part) leave this one on the shelf. The key to reading the pictures is something you might have to cutout so you can refer to it with forthcoming pictures. Ok, maybe not that bad but the images aren't good (and no we weren't looking for porn). This book is shrink wrapped for two reasons one, for the kids and two for the adults that will skim through and realize it's just plain fluffy.

I have to admit Kim plays such an intersting part on Sex in the City I thought this might be worth the purchase. But, that is acting and the book is the real world. Actress she is, author she is not.

With all that said,(...) Happy reading to all and I hope this helps.
