A great beginner guide and more!

In 144 pages Ms. Taormino covers this subject completely in a very matter of fact and enthusiastic point of view. If you have never tried this kind of eroticism this is a great book to get. One of the reasons I liked this book was it was written by an enthusiast of anal eroticism and everything in the book she has a behind the scenes perspective that is very refreshing. Also, Ms. Taomino writes so casually, like a girlfriend giving you inside need to know information.The book is organized and concise from the Introduction to the Resource Guide in the back. No matter what your experience is with anal eroticism you can learn from this book. Each chapter gives you more insight and understanding on this taboo experience. I enjoyed the whole book. The Author does a great job dispelling the myths associated with this practice and delivering important information for making this experience pleasurable for the novice and experienced. There are 12 chapters excluding the introduction and the resource guide the book covers myths, anatomy, emotional and psychological aspects, tools of the trade, hygiene, heath aspects to the practice, and some of the funniest illustrations I've ever seen in a sex book.If you want to learn more about this practice this is a great book to get, it delivers the information in a relaxed, humorous, and matter a fact way. The book is a great guide for women and men wanting to expand their repertoire in the bedroom.girldiver:)

I've read this book (more than some reviewers could say!)

I first bought this book three years ago after meeting Tristan Taormino at an educational workshop. I was amazed at the enthusiam, research, and dedication she has devoted towards making anal sex a safe, pleasurable, and fun experience for all people.Taormino also has an amazing writing style. It kept the topic light and understandable - even in the thickest of chapters.The book was a quick read - I picked up endless facts, learned more than I could of imagined about the internal workings of the butt, and most of all - I was able to get honest safe advice about enjoying anal sex from someone with actual experience in that area.At least with Tristan Taormino - she won't recommend anything that she has personnally tried herself. How can you top that? (for the record, several big name sex-advice authors can't even claim that!)....If you have yet to buy this book - I open-heartedly recommend it. It is definately a beginners book. It covers all the basics from myths, anatomy, communication, trust, toys, anal health, positions, lube, common fears, to pleasure and more! Best of all Taormino includes a lengthly resource guide at the end of the book that pretty much covers everything! (the book would probably be worth buying just to get a look at that!) So if you still want more info - she helps you get it!All in all - don't pass this one up. If you've ever thought about butt play (if you know someone who should be thinking about it...) Give this a read! two thumbs up!

Its like asking a friend for advice....

This is a very pleasant book for a very tricky subject. I really enjoyed it. I read it within a few hours. Actually it didnt feel like reading but more like chating with a close friend while having coffee. The author really has the ability to write in a friendly way, giving advices on the topic like a good friend would.The book treats the subject in a very distinct way. Its humorous at times and on the same time it treats the subject in a scientific kind of way. For example the book has nice graphs of the human anatomy that explain lots of things.... It also has information about all the :gadjets: that someone may need for this kind of sex, like lubricants etc. At the end there is also a very helpful appendix with webpages of shops on the internet that can provide all the rellevant stuff.The book is fun and I really recommend it to people that are interested on the subject but are embarased to talk about it. And as I said before, reading the book is like asking a friend. I think that both parties that will be involved in the act should read the book for better results. Have fun.

Comprehensive and complete, both sexy and informative.

My search began with a quest for information as to how to pursue the subject of anal sex safely and with enjoyment. Although my spirit was willing, my flesh was weak upon first experimentation. After reading Taormino's manual, I have a new comfort level, both physically and mentally. Now I know that I was attempting too much, too soon. I learned that, physiologically, the process must be very gradual in order to be accomplished successfully. Every question I had was completely covered, and I now proceed with confidence. Worth far more than it's price!
