This was an eye opener for me. I was looking more in the lines of "How exactly to do it?", but I was treated to a whole bunch of other risks and unexpected things involved with Sex. I am glad I came across those because, since I am getting married very soon, I never spared a thought on how the romance would be 10 years down the line. I thank Author foe that.

Seru & lucu juga ternyata...hahaha....

The book had some good points and important information. However, I don't think personal, subjective opinions should be expressed in such a book, yet it was ridden with such things. I would prefer just objective facts instead of author's ultra-conservative views (or any views for that matter) I'm not interested in.

I was particularly shocked by one fragment. In one of the chapters women are advised to close their eyes on their partner's fancy for pornography and the argument is that they shouldn't worry, because anyway, thèse beautiful pornstars wouldn't be interested in their partner, or even if they would, he would probably be afraid of them!

How on earth is this supposed to be a valid argument? It's like telling women "Well, your partner is too affraid of the real beauties so he's in a relationship with you. You can't compete with them, but hey, they wouldn't have him anyway so smile!". Basically it's like telling women they're not an amazing beauty, so their partner settled with them just because it was easy. Actually many female readers of this book might be conventionally beautiful, but seriously, are we supposed to say "oh yeah, what a relief!" here? So many young women already feel insecure about their looks and this is what they get. A confirmation of this and a suggestion their partner is with them just because there was no one better around or he was afraid. Yep, very thoughtful indeed.

Based. Barely scientifical and anecdotal evidence, mostly opinional. Promotes ancient conservative ideas.

I wanted to check this out of curiosity. I skipped a lot much information I already knew or didn't need. I say this is good for people who don't have much knowledge or maybe have some issues.

good

This nice sexual advice that has been written by Ruth K. Westheimer are really so great to the extent of Joy, I find all her recommendations and advice quite acceptable and understandable. she speaks about sex in General and to It's forms in particular with focusing much attention to the health section and safe sex recommendations, her book is really recommended to any person who is new to the world of sex and its joy and magic.

great read! i feel so much more knowledgeable

Many thanks to Hope at Tantor Audio for sending me a copy in exchange for an honest review

this will probably be as close to a middle school health class as any book will be

Eğer 18 yaşında olsaydım bu kitap bana hediye edilebilecek en iyi şey olurdu.

Seks, hiç tartışmasız insan hayatındaki en önemli konulardan biri. Temel bilgileri edinmenin zorunluluğu bir yana, kitapta da vurgulandığı gibi bilmek ya da şüpheden kurtulmak daha büyük bir hazzın da anahtarını teşkil ediyor.

28 yaşında bir erkek olarak ise bu kitapta aradığım başarı kıstası bana yeni bir şey öğretip öğretemeyeceği idi. Adı üzerinde ''for Dummies'', yani acemiler için. Çok genç birinin öğrenebileceği çok şey var ama bu konularda okumayı seven ve yaşını başını almış birine de faydalı olabilecek miydi? Doğrusunu söylemek gerekirse hayır. Çok güldüğümü, ufak tereddütlerimin giderildiğini ve birkaç cümlelik taze bilgi ile karşılaştığımı açık yüreklilikle söyleyebilirim ama benim için bundan fazlası yoktu.

25 yaşın altındaysanız, seks ve insan anatomisi hakkında etraflıca bilginiz yoksa veya cinsel bir sorununuz varsa bu kitap sizin için inanılmayacak kadar faydalı olacaktır. Biraz daha ileri gideyim: Önem sırasında kutsal kitapların gerisinde kalmakla birlikte geri kalan her şeyin önüne konulabilir. Eğer kendini yetiştirmiş erişkin bir bireyseniz de keyifli birkaç saat geçirmenizi sağlayabilir. Her halükarda insanı yormayan, lezzetli bir okuma. Seks konusunda okumaya yeni başlayacaksanız mükemmel bir başlangıç noktası. Her kesimden insana tavsiye edebilirim.

There will be a day when this subject can be captured in a great book. That day is not today.

I think I am probably beyond the "dummies" stage, but if you imagine Dr. Ruth's cute little old lady German voice narrating, then this book is a hoot!
