Product Description
Most people know that thereâs more to sex than the missionary position. But to make sex really hot, some people need a little guidance. Thatâs where acclaimed sex educatorâand WCBS-TV relationship correspondentâSari Locker steps in.
The Complete Idiotâs Guide to Amazing Sex, Third Edition, has fresh advice on how readers can make smart sexual choices, cast aside inhibitions, and keep their sex life exciting well into their golden years. Readers get new and updated chapters on:
⢠Current sexual trends and attitudes
⢠Sex within marriage and long-term relationships
⢠Body image, obesity, and plastic surgery and their effect on sexuality
⢠Exciting techniques for reaching multiple orgasms for men and women
⢠Tips on specific sexual activities, including playful ideas on locations and toys
⢠Plus an 8-page full-color photographic insert of Sariâs eight original sexual positions
Sexy is as sexy does, according to Sari Locker (called "our favorite tantalizing sex writer" by
Playboy magazine). But how to feel sexy if you're a virgin, or if you've experienced sexual problems, or have serious body image hang-ups?
The Complete Idiot's Guide to Amazing Sex succeeds in not only teaching technique (as well as a book can), but also offers serious advice for boosting your self-esteem. As with other Complete Idiot guides, you'll probably want to turn this one backwards in your bookcase, or at least get a book cover for it. But get past the silly title and you'll find a plethora of facts, tips, and tricks on topics including sexual response, masturbation, foreplay, afterplay, oral sex, fantasy, sex toys, sexual preference, cross-dressing, and "The Big Om": tantric sex.
The margin notes liberally decorating the book are worth a hearty chuckle. The "Sextistics" are particularly fun and eye-opening. Some examples: only 9 percent of people surveyed believe sex appeal is innate; the rest feel it can be acquired!; about 7 percent of women have never climaxed; the majority of male crossdressers are married with children; and, according to the Hite Report, nearly 60 percent of men ages 61 to 75 said their desire for sex remained steady or increased with age, Viagra or no.
Locker, a sex educator and WCBS-TV relationship correspondent, has been a sex educator for more than a decade. That said, she should have placed the facts on contraceptives and sexually transmitted diseases earlier in the book, before the hot and heavy photographs of sexual positions. That gripe aside, Amazing Sex is worth investigating by both sexual neophytes and experienced couples looking to maintain a state of hot monogamy.

This is a great book for someone who is clueless or simply wants to review. She mentions lots of great tips for both men and women, interest statistics , and definitions on the sidelines of her book. It was a quick and easy read!
Great guide,

I have seen other books on this topic and found this one to contain better information. There is information in here that is good for beginners and those who have been going at it for years. I also recommend Sex and the Perfect Lover: Tao, Tantra, and the Kama Sutra
I bought it for some new ideas,
