Amazon.com Review:
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

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Really helped to open up my mind
I grew up in a pretty conservative, religious home where sex was never discussed, nor was it really talked about among my like-minded friends. As a result, I wasn't comfortable with my sexuality, and any curiosity I had about anything that I might think could be considered mildy "weird" or "abnormal" was quickly brushed under the carpet. But after reading this book, I felt so liberated. "Gee, I guess there really IS a wide range of sexual proclivities out there. I guess everybody really DOES have their own kinks and desires. I guess it DOESN'T mean you are a freak." I am so grateful for having read this book....
Rating: - A Perfect "First-Timer" Gift
I gave this as a bachelorette gift multiple times last year, and every friend loved it! A wonderful, tasteful guide to branching out, with lots of information to even do traditional a little better.
Rating: - Excellent Starting Point
No one book can adequately cover all aspects of human sexuality. Consider this an introduction and an excellent menu to plan your erotic repast. This book offers good, well-researched, basic information in quick easy-to-read format. Start here, determine what you like and how far you are willing to go. Then search out books that concentrate on and expand your favorite subjects.
Rating: - An essential
If you are looking for accurate, creative and mature information about the sex this is the book to buy. It is great on its own. My boyfriend and I like to try new things they describe that we are both interested in. There is something for everyone in the book. It is written so that you can take take what interests you and leave the rest. Written in a concise manner and extremely accurate information. It is a great complanion also to more visual books like position manuals or erotica. Definitely recommeded.
Rating: - It's in the name COMPLETE!!
This book is honestly the most thorough guide I have come across for sex. Far beyond just typical, and not so typical, intercourse facts! I loved the chapters that dealt with fantasies and S&M. I knew the book was special when I checked the index before purchasing it to see that it actually acknowledges female ejaculation!! This is an elusive topic and an even more elusive event in most women's sex lives and I was so pleased to see a book that will educate partners to help achieve this mind blowing effect! A fantastic book that all of my girlfriends have now read after my recommendation.
