Sex should be "an experience to be relished from beginning to end," says Lou Paget in How to Be a Great Lover: Girlfriend-to-Girlfriend Totally Explicit Techniques That Will Blow His Mind. Paget (a woman) aims "to empower you as a woman, heighten the intimacy of your romantic relationship, and enable you and your partner to enjoy yourselves in intense new ways." She lives up to that promise with this friendly, titillating, educational, and explicit guide to enlivening your sex life and keeping your man coming back for more. Is he a bad kisser? Learn an easy strategy to get him to kiss you just the way you like it. Does he object to using a condom? Use your mouth to put it on him (a six-step process, complete with illustrations). You'll find information you might not find anywhere else, such as dozens of explicit manual and oral techniques (many illustrated) that will drive him crazy, a comparison of different brands of lubricant for different uses (along with sexy ways to apply it), techniques for anal stimulation, and a guide to sex toys. This book is fun to read, and will certainly open up the sensuality in your relationship. --Joan Price

Paget's "How to be a great lover" provides a lot of explicit and detailed instructions, and descriptions. She discussed a broad spectrum of topics from sexually transmitted diseases to oral and manual stimulation. My husband and I are experienced and for us most of the information was not something new. We did learn new things however and it was nice to read a book written by so experienced and genuinely interested in sex woman. We would like to recommend as well scientist Ritz' bestseller "Scientfically guaranteed male multiple orgasms and ultimate sex" because it provides breakthrough information, which made a great difference for us in bed.

I just bought this book a few days ago after reading the positive reviews. It was definitely worth reading! The best part about the book is the tone she uses. It really does come across as girlfriend-to-girlfriend. It's not clinical (which is a turn-off) or condescending in tone - she doesn't act like a sex guru speaking down to the plebian undersexed. She's very encouraging and her main goal is to give you confidence as a lover.
Some of the stuff isn't all mind-blowing or new, but if you're like me, it's kind of nice to read it and think, hmmm, maybe I do have a little sex goddess in me. For example, her sections on how to set an erotic mood and turn on your partner are more useful as a sort of confidence-boosting talk than for really specific ideas. The section on fellatio also, is not as detailed or advanced as some might like (this is not the book to buy for that). The section on manual (hand) techniques was very thorough and detailed, though. I'm sure I'm only going to be able to learn a few at a time. And there are other tricks scattered through the book that seem simple, but really erotic.
She also has some excellent sections on STDs and safe sex. Before I started reading up on sex, I didn't know how important a condom for oral sex is. It's important info to get - told from the perspective of the sexually active, not your high school sex ed teacher, so you learn how to best avoid contracting an STD and still have sex.

I'm surprised by all the rave reviews for this book. I don't think it's a bad text really, but I found some of the techniques VERY difficult to follow without a dvd or vhs tape to go along with it. Another reviewer mentioned that it would've been way better with a video aid, but I'm surprised I've only read one review like that. The handjob section is primarily what I'm refering to here. An action that requires various movements and various intervals can be difficult to explain properly via a text. As a result I just didn't feel I got as much as I would've liked out of lou's book.
