Dewey Decimal Number: 613.96082 EAN: 9781592333332 ISBN: 1592333338 Label: Quiver Manufacturer: Quiver Number Of Items: 1 Number Of Pages: 144 Publication Date: July 01, 2008 Publisher: Quiver Studio: Quiver Editorial Review: Product Description: The revolutionary method women can use to reach orgasm anytime, anyhow and anywhere The Orgasm Loop is a revolutionary mind/body technique for reaching orgasm anytime, anyhow, and anywhere. Based on techniques developed from cognitive feedback studies at Tulane University, The Orgasm Loop shows women how to remove mental roadblocks that dampen arousal and short-circuit orgasm. Women learn how to tap their unique arousal patterns and achieve orgasm easily and consistently, as they follow simple, step-by-step instructions for working the O Loop into their sexual routine. In addition, women who have difficulty achieving orgasm learn to teach their partner techniques, such as rhythmic breathing and different positions, for bringing them to orgasm-and they'll be able to adjust their unique orgasm pattern to coordinate with their partner. Other chapters will detail how to incorporate Orgasm Loop techniques into any sexual position and scenario including quickies, intercourse, and oral sex. Women learn how to beat fluctuating sexual response patterns brought on by physical and emotional shifts, sustain the Orgasm Loop, and achieve multiple orgasms-even if they've never had one before.

 Rating:  - Helps.The main problem, it seems, in reaching orgasm is concentration. The idea is to focus solely on the orgasm and how to get it. This book goes into detail about how to do just that, giving the reader some much needed advice on how to avoid being without orgasm. There is practice, but the homework is fun! Another good book on the subject: Good Sex: A Woman's Guide to Losing Inhibition. Rating:  - Only if you are alone!The technique consists of disassociating from the "here & now" to concentrate on hocus-pocus. Making love, by definition, involves a partner and this book seems to exclude whomever you are with. You may have an orgasm but aren't you merely mentally masturbating while your partner does the work? If women are having difficulty with orgasm, I recommend the "combo" technique taught in "Anal Sex for Couples: A Guaranteed Guide to Painless Pleasure" by Strong. The women I know say this delivers the most powerful orgasm ever. Even if not, at least this is making love and not drifting in the ether of some netherworld. For a better understanding of orgasm, I also recommend "Clitoral Truth" by Chalker. Rating: - A helpful, unique method to orgasmI was intrigued by the idea of the orgasm loop as a systematic method. Other books suggest similar forms of visualization and fantasy, but the instructions tend to be vague and unstructured. I think it is useful to have a set of visualizations, and a purpose to each one, because the mind has a tendency to wander during sexual arousal. Some readers may be put off or intimidated by the New-Agey premise of the Orgasm Loop, but these elements are designed to link the mind to the body and therefore enable the woman to bring herself to orgasm using self-dependent techniques. Bakos has made the steps accessible to even the most mainstream audience. I am between boyfriends at the moment and have decided to use this time to figure out how to stop faking during sex. So I have not been able to use the Loop with a partner yet, but once I master the technique I will be sure to take it to bed with my next lover. I found it to be extremely helpful as well as effective in the solo arena, however. I do have one complaint for the book. I feel that it was not descriptive or instructive enough in the way we are supposed to construct the three steps of the Loop in our minds. There are three steps - the arousal image, the energy movement, and the fire breathing. The author fails to mention if we are supposed to cease each step as we go into the next step, or if we are supposed to maintain each step as we add the next (which becomes a lot to keep track of). And in the case of the fire breathing, she mentions that we are supposed to create a circle of fire with our breath, but she fails to mention what path that circuit is supposed to take (ie where the "fire" goes after you exhale it). These complaints are hard to understand without having read about the Orgasm Loop already, but I have found that when I don't know the answer to these questions, my concentration occasionally breaks and so does the Orgasm Loop... and this could be avoided if the author had simply been more specific. Despite this, I still recommend this book to any woman who is having trouble with her orgasm. I plan to buy Bakos' Tantra book next. |
The story is pointedly set in the late 1980s, years before the establishment of the WNBA, so Monica's prospects for pro ball lie exclusively in Europe, while Quincy steps into the pros at home. It's a pleasure to see a character as passionate and fully developed as Monica, and Lathan gives a fiery portrayal (she had never played ball before the film, but you'd never tell from her performance). Prince-Bythewood favors her struggle over Quincy's and opens our eyes to her unique challenges with a sharp, savvy contrast. Alfre Woodard costars as Monica's harping mom (always trying to get her to be more ladylike) and Dennis Haysbert is Quincy's philandering father. Hoops fan Spike Lee produced. --Sean Axmaker
