The good vibrations guide to sex Book

Good Vibrations is a bright, convivial, women-owned, sex-toy store in San Francisco, where customers of both genders and all sexual orientations feel welcome. Their book is as candid, upbeat and friendly as the store. It is filled with information that customers ask for most frequently, tips for enhancing your sex life, and reviews of a variety of sex toys. Good Vibrations believes that "there's more sexual pleasure available than most people experience" and "achieving this pleasure should not be difficult, dangerous, or expensive". This is a sex manual of a special sort. It starts with the basics ("Sexual Anatomy 101", "Communications", "Masturbation"), aimed at teaching the reader to receive and give pleasure. Other chapters ("Lubrication", "Creative Touching", "Oral Sex", "All About Vibrators", "Fantasies") describe how to enhance the sexual experience. You'll get answers to questions you never knew to ask: how to keep dildos clean, what is "packing", what is the appeal of S/M, for example. A substantial chapter on "Safer Sex" offers techniques both expected (use a condom) and unexpected (put it on him using your mouth). Quotations from real people about their sexual pleasures lend interest and eroticism. Explicit line drawings show sex between male-female, male-male and female-female partners, as well as solitary acts with vibrators. "In our fantasies, we dream of this book with its cracked spine and well-thumbed pages lying on your nightstand next to your vibrator, lube, massage oil and condoms", write the authors. For education and entertainment, this book is a winner. --Joan Price
