Art of the Quickie: Fast Sex, Fast Orgasm, Anytime, Anywhere Book

It's unrealistic to expect to engage in full-on sex all the time, which is why "quickies" are not optional, they're damn necessary. The Art of the Quickie is a book that will coach readers how to have quick, but rewarding sex. Quickies can be even more fulfilling than those long sessions because the thrill involved in having sex unexpectedly and/or in forbidden locations adds a potent element of excitement. But what about women, is the quickie fair to them? The Art of the Quickie features definitive guidelines for women to experience faster orgasms-in 5 minutes!-thereby relieving men of the performance anxiety that often accompanies the responsibility of bringing their partners to orgasm. The Art of the Quickie features twenty-five full-color photographs of various techniques, positions, and exciting, forbidden places that are perfect settings for a quickie.

Psychologist Block (North Shore-Long Island Jewish Medical Ctr.) mixes hot scenarios with a wide menu of tips for speedy sex in many settings and occasions. Writing for couples past the honeymoon and too busy for love, he is especially detailed in explaining how women can power up to orgasm to enjoy fast, furious, and fun encounters as much as their male partners. His repeated advice about lubrication, safe sex, general safety, and legality is outstanding, and his style is frank and amusing. The book is illustrated with attractive, soft-core photos of one Caucasian couple-somewhat of a drawback, since the photos don't span ethnicities or ages, are sometimes repeated, and lend heat but not much light to the text. For large public libraries. See also Emily Dubberly's shorter and charming Sex for Busy People, illustrated with small, multiethnic color drawings but without the safety information.
