"Disappointing at best! A book about "giving up"" | 2008-09-16 |
| - Reviewed By User: AS9SCADYOC6YF |
| This book was really disappointing. Basically, it tells women: "just give up, you will always take too long to have an orgasm with your partner; just close your eyes, be on top, masturbate, and fantasize while you do it". Nothing wrong with doing any of this, but I couldn't help sensing a feeling of defeat while reading this book...on one hand, the book has its merits for translating to words what many women feel about orgasm, that it takes much longer with a partner than alone, that men have trouble learning the right speed and pressure a women need, that sometimes we are just lazy to go through the whole "process", how frustrated women get when the sex is over and the women hasn't come, etc. (and this why I gave it 2 starts instead of 1 - for its honesty!). However, the solution that the author points out (the so called "3 step") is basically: (1) be on top of your lover (we all know this is the best position for women); (ii) masturbate while you are on top; and (iii) have fantasies to help you have an orgasm quicker.br /Guess what the 5 min refer to? Women usually take 4 min to reach orgasm when masturbating themselves! So why not 5 min when doing te same on top of your lover? br /In the end, I felt she was talking more about 2 people masturbating on each other, than about a sexual experience you can only have as a couple. This is quite sad. Her honesty and good descriptions added to the "solution" she proposes translates to me as the following message: "just give up women, and masturbate!"br /I want to keep trytng to reach orgasm faster with my lover without having to masturbate. This I can do alone! Agree? |

"A LATE DEVELOPER BURSTS INTO BLOOM" | 2008-06-30 |
| - Reviewed By User: A1NQ48WHJQPGFQ |
| I'm what you might call a late bloomer. I saved myself for marriage, and stayed a virgin until my wedding night. Naturally, I didn't have anything to compare it to, and I definitely did not reach an orgasm that night. I remained faithful and married to the same man for 20 years. During that time, I never learned to masturbate or pleasure myself in any way. I could count on one hand the number of times I reached orgasm through intercourse alone. And intercourse alone is pretty much the way we always had sex. My husband did not like to perform oral sex on me since he was very religious, and thought it was dirty. After our children were grown, I decided there had to be more to life than what I had experienced so far. I divorced him, and became quite promiscuous, searching for that elusive butterfly--the female orgasm. I never found it until I read this book. This book does not assume that a woman is sophisticated or experienced in sex. I assumes that a woman who is unable to have an orgasm with just intercourse either (a) lacks knowledge or (b) is inexperienced. I was both. I needed to start at the beginning and work forward, just as the author shows you how to do. Now that I am having the time of my life with my new, much younger, boyfriend, we have moved on to more sophisticated things. Here is the helpful book, which was co-authored by Ms. Hutchins, that has taken my new partner and I to higher levels of orgamic bliss: The Sensuous Couple's (Flip Over) Guide to Seismic Oral Sex. It's a flip over book that has Fellatio on one side and Cunnilingus on the other. Buy both books and start a library! |

| Maybe some people knew this stuff, but I sure didn't, at least not the way it's presented here. This book helped me to get off for the first time without having to go at it all night long. |

"READ WITH CAUTION" | 2008-05-10 |
| - Reviewed By slappapy |
| My boyfriend and I found this book to be not only disturbing but also harmful to our sexual life. Hutchins is not a professional sex therapist and not only does she discredit some of our most enjoyable sexual activities, she also marginalizes men, women, and the diverse nature of female orgasm and the connection between partners (for example, she RECOMMENDS that partners fantasize about others while fantasizing that they themselves are someone else, not exactly a recipe for closeness between partners). Her arguments are reductionist in nature and reek of a hidden agenda based upon her personal sexual attitudes and prejudices. Please read this book with a certain amount of caution. There is perhaps information that some will find useful, but overall the book for my partner and I proved to be immensely depressing, damaging, under-researched, and not professionally presented as she continuously presents her own opinion as fact and the one-sided nature of her arguments are sure to make other women and couples feel as though the nature of their connection and the methods of their sexual release are inferior. May we suggest: "The Elusive Orgasm: A Woman's Guide to Why She Can't and How She Can Orgasm" by Dr. Vivienne Cass, PhD. |

| The main claim of this book - a faster orgasm for women, during intercourse - is delivered simply and successfully. It doesn't promise to give us everlasting happiness in love, or three day orgasms, or a ticket to heaven. It supplies a simple technique that works. |

| The method outlined in the book helped me a lot. Over and above learning about the technique - I received from this book, the courage to use it. Now I never have to worry about orgasm any more. My boyfriend is thrilled and so am I. We also bought the author's newest book: Was that an earthquake?
