Passionista: The Empowered Woman's Guide to Pleasuring a Man Book

This book had some good advice, but is a bit insulting in places. While he mentions never crossing your partners boundaries, he basically railroads over some of the reader's boundaries by implying if the reader disagrees with him, it is because the reader is inhibited. I have a great respect for inhibitions. They keep us alive and help us in our relationships with others. The way the author uses the term is pretty obviously negative, though.

Another very negative aspect of the book is how he glorifies exhibitionism. In 2 instances he describes approvingly how someone did illegal things in the name of fun and games.

One story described a woman who would go to dressing rooms in department stores during weekends, when the stores were at their busiest, and intentionally open the dressing room door when she was mostly or completely undressed. This public display was to gratify her self and her boyfriend's desires, without considering or consulting the "audience", which might include people who don't wish to see naked bodies out in public. Another instance described a woman sitting in a crowded bus pleasuring herself while her boyfriend watched from a distance.

The only explanation I have for these examples of misconduct is that perhaps the author is trying to overstate his case so I will lose some of my alleged inhibitions. It is also possible that he thinks these things are okay. I guess I'll never know.

I definitely got the feeling I was being "groomed" while I was reading the book. Something about the pushy way he words things feels off to me. I will not be reading any more of his books.
