Book Reviews of Guide to Getting It On, 5th Edition
Book Review: Just the Best of All Sex Manuals
Summary: 5 Stars
Sex is (or ought to be) fun. Books that are about sex ought to be fun. Pornographic books, of course, exist to give some sort of mental fun to the reader, but even instructional books on sex ought to be fun. A classic dud in this regard was the famous _Joy of Sex_, which had lovely drawings and a text that was as much fun to read as a 1950s biology textbook. By far the most fun of any sex manual, _The Guide to Getting It On!_ isn't just fun but it is also full of information, useful information that everyone who might be engaging in any sort of sexual activity ought to know. That category does not include just coitus! One of the attractive parts of _The Guide_ is that there is a great deal of attention paid to other sorts of sexual fun, kissing, rubbing, masturbation (solo, mutual, and simultaneous), and other activities that present exactly zero threat of pregnancy or transmission of disease. There is plenty of biology here, and sensible advice about hygiene, and about basic communication techniques, so this is a broadly useful volume.
There is, of course, much about coitus itself, not just positions, but techniques and tips. No one will want to try everything suggested here, but anyone reading _The Guide_ will get the thought, "I wonder what that would be like?" in at least some of the chapters. Reading this with a friend or lover would be a wonderful source of conversation and inspiration to erotic exploration. The illustrations, by Daerick Gross, are in a realistic comic book style, and fit the text perfectly. This fifth edition is one that the author says he is really pleased with. It has new chapters on such topics as sex in the military and why and how to invite a third person to join in lovemaking.
I have given this book to many of my young friends, and they didn't even realize that I was getting them vital educational information. They were just glad to have a fun, hot book; someday they are going to appreciate just how much they have learned from it, and how they have absorbed its easy lessons about adult responsibility. Here is a book that will increase the world's sexual joy and sexual intelligence. A masterpiece.
Summary of Guide to Getting It On, 5th Edition
The Guide To Getting It On! has won five awards and has been translated into 12 foreign languages. It has sold hundreds of thousands of copies from the dorms of UC San Diego to the bedrooms of Tripoli. Some people say The Guide is the best how-to book on sex ever written--we say it's the most fun to read. It is smart enough to be used in sex education courses, but is also a favorite at stores that sell the kind of sex toys that will land you in the slammer in Mississippi, Alabama and Texas. Schools even use it to train doctors. The Guide covers a full range of topics from romance, necking and losing your virginity, to things we can't even mention here.Sex Books
