Customer Reviews

Husbands read this!

Any man - or woman - who has a female lover needs to read this book! Although I disagree with needing alcohol or intoxicants to facilitate certain, um, relationships, the straightforward information about how to please a woman is invaluable for anyone in any type of relationship - especially a longterm monogamous hetero marriage that may have grown stale, routine or otherwise boring. I personally do not advocate any extramarital physical/sexual actions due to all the diseases out there, but most of the information in this book can be applied to any relationhip or committed couple interested in greater pleasure, intimacy, or experimentation.

Not just for chicks

I agree with many of the other reviews that discussed what a great resource this book is for women, but don't forget another group who can benefit from this book ... men. My boyfriend picked up this book, mostly because he was curious, but the pig factor probably existed a little at first, too. He's learning lots of great things that benefit me (things that I had never realized to tell him), and I couldn't be happier. He's also recommending it to his guy friends so they can learn more ways to please their girlfriends. So, women may be the target audience, but when men read this book with a sincere desire to become better lovers, I'd say that's a good thing as well.

Two Nipples Up!

Jen writes so honestly, straight from the heart. This is, and I wish there was a more eloquent way to put this, a cool book. She does not shy away from the real deal facts of love, sex, exploration... in fact, she doesn't shy away from anything. It's as if you're reading a book from a regular gal who has one freaky sidenote, she does not get embarrassed! Which means you won't get embarrassed. Most of your fears will be allayed and man, once you are done, you will be fully versed on the inner workings of the female body, yours and others, and what turns said body on. Let's just say that can be very helpful. So, this is the deal, if you've ever thought of switch-hitting or just wanted to know how it actually works, Jen tells you in graphic sapphic detail (delightful illustrations are a plus. I don't know who did them but they're hilarious and cute and informative). She also provides resources that will help you "get it on," even if you're not ready to actually get it on with another person. And if you're a girl and you really do want to just go out there and see what's what with the ladies, there are certain details here that will make you seem like an expert in what up until now might be unchartered territory. It takes away the scary and the stigma by giving you all the answers to your questions and more answers to questions you will be glad you were given, if you actually get a girl to go home with you. I think what's refreshing is this could have easily been just another sleazoid book or a "Ha ha, look what I got you on your wedding night!" party gift. Instead it's an informative, smart, emotionally evolved, well-designed, entertaining and humorous "how-to" guide. If only they would have stuff like this in schools, people wouldn't be so messed up about sex and sexual attitudes. This is an important book for our generation. Of course if you just want it for the hot factor, it has that too, but you might find you are as pleasantly surprised as I was, to find such an intelligent perspective regarding sexual experimentation. It's nice to hear someone talk about checking out chicks without then labeling you one way or another. It's simply saying you're a sexual being and if you want to try this, here are the "ins and outs." Jen Sincero and hopefully others like her, are really our generation's sexual pioneers, prooving each decade, we mature a little more no matter how much fanaticism and intolerance is in our midst. p.s. I had written a previous review of this book and it never appeared. If it magically does, I apologize for the redundancy.

Thank god someone finally wrote this book!

I've been lusting after my daughter's first grade teacher for months and feeling really weird about it. I finally found this book and it not only made me feel good (normal) but it helped me get a date! It's full of practical advice, sexy pictures, funny funny writing....I highly recommend it for the bicurious as well as just anyone who likes sleeping with women. It will make you better in bed. I promise. It will also make you laugh.

Chick on Chick sure, but OH SO MUCH MORE!!

I have purchased and passed out at least a case of these books, not necessarily for the "girl-on-girl" parts, but for the chapter titled, "The Super-Huge Importance of Sticking Your Hand Down Your Pants." That by itself is a must read for anyone who wants (no - NEEDS) to be put more in touch with their own sexuality, never mind what gender you prefer. (Don't get me wrong - the rest of the book is pretty fantastic too.) I am constantly amazed at how taboo the subject of pleasure in one's own body is, and this book provides an amazing way to convey the message that we, as women, deserve to be our own sexual best friends before expecting someone else to make us happy. Then it shows us how!! This is of course not to say that those of us who revel in our own sexuality on most levels won't find something new and different - I found myself laughing out loud at some of the situations the author placed herself in, and very able to identify! It's also not just about sex-for-sex-sake, or picking up women, or one night stands; there is great information in here for long-term, committed relationships in here too. I may never actually seek out sex with a woman (though I'm not opposed), but don't think the title and alleged gender specificity in any way detracts from the many lessons to be learned from this book. It's about time!! (And it doesn't hurt at all that this chick is damn funny, and can WRITE!)
