Answered all questions and then some...

Love (appropriately named) and Mavrides did an excellent job compiling this handy little coffee table book. I bought this while on vacation and my husband and I were intensely aroused with some of the obscure methods of sexual pleasure that were noted in this book. If you are the least bit interested in things that are "different," then I would highly recommend this gem!

A Dictionary of Kinks for Nillas and Kinksters Alike!

I "stumbled" over the on-line version of this book and just had to have it. I am the FemDomme Founder and Creator of some great FemDomme on-line clubs and have a weekly fetish discussion topic. After coming up with a year's plus topics, I was wanting to "dig a little deeper" and get some more ideas. This is a fantastic book. If you are conservative, this book will make you feel even more "normal", but you will certainly be better informed. If you are an "alternative lifestyler", you'll feel like whatever you're into still isn't the absolutely gamut of kinky!! Even I went EEEUUUUWWW a couple of times and I've been a FemDomme for over 16 years!! It has obviously been researched extensively, is written in a technical vein with a kink-friendly slant, and emphasizes all of the safety issues. Perhaps a better title might have been "Dictionary", than "Encyclopedia", however it is well worth the money and much cheaper than buying access to it on-line for two months.

This entry is excellent

This book is excellent. It gives you down-to-earth information on every aspect of sex. It is written clearly, cleanly, informatively, and in plain english - with no hype. It is not a textbook, but yet written to be informative. It covers every, and I mean every, aspect of sexual activity. It is illustrated. The illustrations are a little small, but they are there, and they help. You cannot know everything in this book. I learned, and I am 60, before I got to page 60. Thank god we might have finally got over our national fear about sex and on to dispensing all the information about it. It is both wonderful, and yet a little scary, to think that all of this exists, but it is necessary to let us know that it does. An infomred population will at least know what it is up against, and how to adjust to it's good points and bad ones. This type of information was a long time coming, in this wonderful form. This is a great addition to any home library, for both research, as well as inquisitive needs and questions. Thank you Ms. Love.

Everything you wanted or didn't want to know about sex!!!

Wow. People do that? Yuck. Ummmmm. Wow. Cool. With every term my emotions changed from arousal to repulsion. So many terms, so little time to try them all.An excellent resource and a ton of fun to read.Anything from "normal" to "weird" to "bizarre" to just downright "disgusting" can be found in this encyclopedic reference guide of sex.

Incredible things people really do!

You probably don't expect to find yourself compulsively reading a book called an encyclopedia of anything, but then you probably don't expect to be reading about men who coax angry bees to sting their penises in order to make the organ swell and become more sensitive. The 750+ listings here will propel you from amazement to amazement as they carry you from abduction as a sex act to zoophilia (sex with animals). You will be repelled and excited, entranced and titillated, shocked and sucked right into the world of sexual extremes and oddities. And, all the time, you'll be making mental notes of which entries you just have to tell this or that friend about. Maybe not a book everyone will be comfortable having on the coffee table, but one you'll want within ea
