Review # 1 was written on 2009-12-17 00:00:00 Gregory Perry This book kept saying things that ought to be obvious, but are not obvious to everyone. Sexuality is complicated. Individuals are complicated. Sex is good. Men and women are alike in some ways yet different in other ways. Cultures differ. 2 + 2 = 4. Please, make it stop. The fact that by page 112 I was ready to throw the book across the room (I couldn't; I was on a plane at the time) means not that the author wrote a bad book but that I picked the wrong one for me. But jeez, I hated this thing.

Review # 2 was written on 2009-02-24 00:00:00 Daniel Hubert When I started reading this one I fairly devoured the book. However, it became clear to me early on that I shared a temperament that was not very similar to that of Tisdale's. I like sex, but I also like other things. I don't obsessively categorize my sexual fantasies, nor do I spend my time reading erotica just for the sake of reading erotica. I didn't go into this book expecting to be titillated; instead I was hoping for, as the book said, a philosophical approach to sex. However, the entire book ended up being about Tisdale's philosophical approach to sex, and while I will give her props for being open-minded and sex-positive, there were a few ideas she put forth that hit a sour note with me. The one I remember most is her idea that prostitutes and sex workers perform a service of sexual healing. Nw, I don't doubt that there are some sex workers who do approach their work in this way. (After all, if there is one thing I've learned in my three decades on this planet, it's that anytime you generalize about a group of people, you are probably going to be wrong.) But I also don't doubt that there are some sex workers who look at their work as a job that happens to pay really well, and I also don't doubt that some sex workers do their job because they have no other choice. If you are looking for an exploration of sex as it is in one woman's mind, than this is the book for you. If you are looking for something a bit more academic skip it.
