first a little background on how i came to order this book...my wife and i have been married for 20 years. i believe we have an excellent marriage (my wife would agree, most days) and a very good "love life".however, since i have more of an interest in the, shall we say, "physical element" of our relationship, than my wife, i have recently begun buying books on this subject with the goal of improving what is, to my mind, already good.my wife has been gracious enough to read these books, and we have been utilizing some of what we have learned.since we share a Christian faith, we started reading books written from a Christian perpective -The Married Guy's Guide to Great Sex: Building a Passionate, Intimate, and Fun Love Life, pennerIntimate Issues : 21 Questions Christian Women Ask About Sex, dillowSheet Music, lehmanFor Women Only : What You Need to Know About the Inner Lives of Men, feldmanA Celebration of Sex: A Guide to Enjoying God's Gift of Sexual Intimacy, roseneauthese are all good/excellent books, which i enjoyed to varying degrees, each one with a different focus or perspective. all of these books stress the importance of a healthy marriage relationship as the foundation upon which enjoyable sexual intimacy is built.after that, we moved on to what i refer to as the "technique" books -She Comes First : The Thinking Man's Guide to Pleasuring a WomanBlow Him Away : How to Give Him Mind-Blowing Oral SexHow to Be a Great Lover: Girlfriend-to-Girlfriend Totally Explicit Techniques that Will Blow His Mindthat's the framework from which i write this review.i certainly enjoyed parts of the book, and there was some helpful information. however, overall, i was disappointed.the first half of the book, the author explains her background as a speech therapist and how that gives her special insight into the topic of oral sex (a reasonable point) and then gives instructions for a number of exercises to perform, presumably to strengthen toungue and lips for "show time".my wife was not at all interested in doing the exercises, and i can't say i blame her. maybe we are missing out on the main benefit of reading this book by not doing the exercises.there are really only 2 chapters in this book that were of interest to me - the "techniques" of oral sex. much of this was information with which i was already familiar.a couple of the techniques described didn't work "as advertised". for example, there is a technique which the author claims will bring a man to orgasm in 30 seconds, for those times when a "quickie" is called for. that was not our experience. at all.the drawings were "tastefully" done, but again, not much "new" to us.overall, the book has good, basic information relating to oral sex for "beginners". however, more experienced couples, while possibly picking up a new idea or two, will find most of this book to be a review of what they already know.
