A must read by Sergei Koulayev (NYC) 5 Stars

Great book, a few basic points, but - hey, they are the main ones! Its not a manual on physical aspects of sexual stimulation - one can read Violet Blue about that; its mainly about psychology of the relationship. It helped me a lot to clear a few things about myself and about two of us.

Are People Really This Lost? by Don Vargas (Sacramento, CA) 2 Stars

I've read Men's Health and for years been in a very sexually satisfying relationship. I checked this out of the local library curious to find some new information. While this book isn't terrible it is terribly basic. I didn't get the sense that men are portrayed as "conquerors" as other reviewers; it just seems that men are portrayed as clueless.

Personally I didn't find anything I didn't already know, just in this volume it's dressed up a little bit presumably so Dr. Gray can sneak the word "dick" in to show us he's "getting real."

The book of books by Michael A. Sinclair (Mount Airy, NC) 5 Stars

I am not affraid to say however many of you may be affraid to admit there is a lot of thought and truth to be found within these pages.

There are better books by mbeaty77 (TX) 2 Stars

Book is ok and has some good points but it is def written from a mans point of view. Lots of advice about giving him quickies when you don't want to have sex. I'm not sure that helps me at all. Seems more like I would be resentful?? Anyway try the books by Dr. Laura Berman instead. She seems to have a better idea as to the why's and how's of things. Good luck.

This goes straight to the bin by Avid Reader (Jersey) 1 Stars

In which year was John Gray born, some time in 1870???

I can't believe this book is for real. The intro is promising, but then it goes off on the premise that women are generally frigid and men are sex animals. The repetitive theme is how important sex is to men, and how women should always agree to have it. Therefore, the solution for a successful sex life in a long term relationship is that men should constantly coax women into having sex with them and women should always say yes, even if they are not in the mood. The overriding theme is stroking the male ego, as men need to have sex to feel loved. The importance sex and orgasms to women, is all but dismissed totally. In fact, Gray even presumes that orgasms are not important to women.

It seems to be a dream book for men. There are many unpalatable parts of the book - for example, women are encouraged never to refuse sex, but there is one outrageous part of the book which suggests that if the man is too tired to be in the mood for sex, the women should take responsibility of her own pleasure, start the groundwork on a solo basis and in the final two minutes, call in the man so that he can complete the job and claim the honors of giving her the orgasm. I also had to pick my jaw off the floor when I read his analysis of how to interpret a woman's sexual mood by her underwear colour. This must have been written at a time where red lace was considered scandalous and illegal, as there are only entries for black, white and pink lingerie. Be prepared for lots of idiotic passages like these.

I was hoping for a book that would spice up my sex life to prevent my husband and I from getting routine and complacent. Also, in order for us to connect deeper on a sexual level. Both of us enjoy sex, orgasms are equally important to us, and our relationship is one of mutual love, desire and respect, and therefore, this book misses the mark on all these points. Instead of being one for couples to enjoy, this book is biased towards the male needs. It takes little into account that women's attitudes to sexuality, and roles and responsibilities in the household have somewhat changed since the Victorian era. I would have expected John Gray to do a bit more research on the female psyche and come up with a more balanced approach, instead of this truly awful caveman piece of writing. What the heck, he's now laughing his way to the bank.

This book is better off in a trash can, and that's where mine's going. Don't waste your time and money!
