Fun, witty, and wildly informative - these are the qualities that immediately come to mind when thinking about Kerner's book.

His consistent use of literary references and allusions truly makes this book far more mentally stimulating than one might initially expect. It's as if he is constantly challenging the reader's knowledge and inviting them to explore new literary horizons.

However, with all that said, it must be noted that he could have benefited from a better editor. There are misspelled words, clunky sentences, and missing punctuation throughout the text.

While these flaws do not completely overshadow the overall experience, they do undeniably hinder it. They can be distracting and may cause the reader to stumble or lose focus at times.

Despite these editorial shortcomings, the book still has a lot to offer in terms of its content and the intellectual stimulation it provides.

I read this thing in one sitting and it was glorious.

It truly captured my attention from the very beginning and held it until the end. The details and the way it was presented were just amazing.

I found myself completely immersed in it, unable to put it down.

However, I'm holding off on the 5-star review until I try all that stuff out.

I want to make sure that everything works as described and that it lives up to my expectations.

I'm excited to give it a go and see if it can truly deliver on all the promises it made.

Once I've had the chance to test it thoroughly, I'll be able to give a more accurate and informed review.

But for now, I'm just left with this sense of anticipation and excitement.

It's not technically incorrect, but I spent most of the book cringing.

As a book written by a man with expertise on how to bring women to orgasm orally, it is exactly what one would expect.

Again, nothing is technically wrong, but much of it is off-putting for various reasons. For instance, the analogies used might seem inappropriate or unrelatable. The constant touchback to dry and abstract academic subjects like literature can make the content feel less engaging and more detached.

Moreover, the lack of emphasis on obtaining clear verbal consent before certain actions, such as inserting a finger in the anus, is a significant concern.

This is certainly valuable and useful knowledge, especially for younger men. However, I don't think I have anything else particularly useful to say about this.

Perhaps it could have been presented in a more sensitive and comprehensive manner, taking into account the importance of communication and respect in sexual encounters.

Overall, while the information may have its merits, the way it is presented leaves something to be desired.

I didn't like it at all.

From the very beginning, it just didn't sit well with me. The way it was presented, the colors, the style - everything seemed to be rubbing me the wrong way.

I tried to give it a chance, to look beyond my initial impressions, but the more I interacted with it, the stronger my dislike grew.

There was something about it that just didn't click. Maybe it was the functionality that was lacking, or perhaps it was the overall feel that was too off-putting.

Whatever the reason, I couldn't find a single redeeming quality in it. It was a complete disappointment, and I would not recommend it to anyone.

I'm not sure if it was just a personal preference or if there were legitimate flaws, but either way, my experience with it was far from positive.

I hope that in the future, things will be different and I'll be able to find something that I truly like.

I picked up this book with the intention of getting a better understanding of female sexuality. However, to my surprise, I was presented with over 200 pages dedicated solely to the importance of cunnilingus.

While this information might be essential for anyone planning to perform oral sex on a woman, it wasn't precisely what I had in mind or expected.

I also found the book rather dull considering it was about oral sex. I tend to agree with another review that suggested it would have been more effective if it had been condensed into an article or a series of articles rather than being stretched out over 40+ chapters.

Perhaps a more concise and engaging format would have made the content more accessible and interesting for readers. As it stands, it felt a bit overwhelming and repetitive at times.

Overall, while the book does contain valuable information, its presentation could have been improved to better meet the expectations of readers like myself.

Okay, the first book I finish this year, and it's a sex book. Of course.

I noticed this book because it appears in Transformers 3. Sam's mom holds it up and declares, "There is some killer shit in here." My husband and I debated about whether or not that was a real book. So, for giggles, we googled it. And what do you know? It's a real book. (I lost the debate. I was sure it was photoshopped. I mean come on, look at the cover.)

Moreover, it has good reviews! So, we said "What the hell!" and downloaded it. You know, just to see.

Sam's mom is right.

It's meant for men, so I mostly skimmed the 2nd half of it where all of the techniques are. But I have wondered before how men learn what to do "down there". I mean, it must be intimidating. Enthusiasm aside, how do they figure out where to even start?

Anyway, I personally think all straight men should read this, ASAP. Knowledge is power, right?

Serious bonus points for imitating the style/layout of Strunk's famous little red book. It makes the reading experience more familiar and accessible for those who are accustomed to that classic style. The clear and concise presentation of the content, similar to Strunk's work, helps to convey the important information in an effective manner. Overall, it's a great read that offers valuable insights and practical advice for men.

A man asked me out last Saturday after less than three minutes of conversation.

Me: You move fast.

Him: I know what I like.

Apparently, he doesn’t like dates with me because he didn’t get one. My reason? If he jumps the gun on asking me out before even knowing my first name, or my reason for being in his part of Ohio…

he’ll probably jump the gun on everything else, including his own release in the bedroom. And at 45, I’m just not having it.

Speaking of which, the author of this book learned the art of oral sex as a survival mechanism, to compensate for his biological inability to achieve “sixty minute man” status. Honestly, not even six. So, you can say his challenge as an “early ejaculator” gave him a very real stake in the race to demystify the proper eating of fur pie, a pursuit some men and women are too lazy to study unto mastery.

Honestly, everyone needs to read this book. Women, men, and even oldish teens who feel mature - and safe - enough to explore their sexuality. Gay, straight, whatever, we could all learn a thing or two from this book.

The author holds a PhD in literature, which is important to note since he likens this guide to Strunk & White’s Elements of Style. You lit types will understand his comparison connotes the gold standard of beauty & practicality when it comes to the brass tacks of cunnilingus.

Is this book the gold standard for beauty as regards rhythmically applied pressure unto climax? Probably, yes. Though if I’m honest, I’ve only read one other book on the subject, and it was yucky. But in terms of practicality? Definitely, yes.

That’s not to say his instructions are fail-proof because each woman is different. Two small examples:

1. “Make your first lick a slow and tender ice-cream lick from bottom to top. Start at the fourchette and work your way up. Take in the full length of her labia minora and let your tongue rest briefly against her frenulum” (61%).

Yes, please!

2. “During foreplay, avoid direct contact with her genitals for a minimum of ten to fifteen minutes. Stimulate other parts of her body. Let the oxytocin wash over her and pervade her blood stream” (45%).

No, thanks. I’d like my hoo-haw acknowledged within, say, five minutes of (post-make-out) intimate commencement. Not fully addressed, mind you, just… acknowledged as being in the room.

As a wise friend once said to me, “Relationship books are great for people who aren’t actually… communicating with their partners. If you talk, though, you’ll figure out something that works infinitely better for your own unique situation.”

I agree. This book can’t offer bespoke tips for your personal preferences, but it’s still a terrific guide to fill in knowledge gaps or to get the ball rolling for couples who aren’t yet sure how to communicate their needs and wants to a partner. Even those in longstanding relationships, who’ve gone down on each other thousands of times, can learn something new.

Bottom line: all who wish to be more cunning linguists - or who aim to more precisely direct their partners' efforts - have no excuse. Get this book or forever wonder if you’re executing to the standard you’ve hitherto assumed.

Book/Song Pairing: Wild (John Legend, Gary Clark Jr.)

In all honesty, this book really could have been compressed.

It seems that if it had been, it might have received more appreciation. Instead, Ian Kerner chose to use flowery language liberally, perhaps to stroke his own writer's ego.

What could realistically have been 10 pages of content was stretched out to 200 pages of writing.

However, the 10 pages of actual content that are in there turn out to be quite valuable and practical.

Apparently, my abilities as a 'cunnilinguist' (a term used in the book) have improved since reading and applying the information it provides.

This information includes a great deal of detail about the anatomy of the female genitalia and some set routines for carrying out cunnilingus.

Overall, don't expect this to be a comprehensive textbook on sex, nor should you expect improvement to happen automatically just by reading this book.

My advice would be to skim through it lightly, looking for any information that you find useful, and then give it a try.

A really enjoyable and informative read! It is truly remarkable how the author, Ian Kerner, manages to present scientifically backed information in such a digestible way. His writing style makes it easy for readers to absorb and understand the complex subject matter. The ultimate goal of his work is for his readers to gain a better understanding of all the big and little aspects that affect a woman's pleasure. This is no small feat, as pleasure is a multifaceted and often misunderstood topic.

I believe that regardless of one's experience, age, or any other factor, everybody can benefit from the well-presented info provided by Ian Kerner. His insights are not only valuable for those who are looking to enhance their sexual experiences but also for those who simply want to have a better understanding of human sexuality. The book offers a wealth of knowledge that can help readers to communicate more effectively with their partners, to explore their own desires and preferences, and to build more fulfilling and satisfying relationships.

This book offers a truly valuable resource when it comes to understanding anatomy, physiology, and the dynamics of desire in diverse bodies, with a particular emphasis on cunnilingus.

The author presents a persuasive case for why sex should commence with cunnilingus. Their breakdown of sexual dynamics into foreplay, coreplay, and moreplay provides a useful framework. From personal experience, I can attest that this approach is highly effective in ensuring complete satisfaction for all parties involved.

While some of the specific techniques might seem a bit too prescriptive at times, there are numerous practical and beneficial tips. In fact, I have learned some of these through my own trial and error.

I greatly appreciated the authors' numerous analogies to literature and meta-literature, especially those related to Strunk and White. I never anticipated seeing a reference to Kundera in a book about oral sex.

My only minor gripe with the book is that it sometimes appears to have an overly cis-het framing. However, when I mentioned that I was reading this book, several queer women friends spoke very highly of it.

As a final point, the most unexpected thing in the entire book was the mention of Viognier, but I won't disclose the context and spoil the surprise.

Overall, this book offers a wealth of information and insights that can enhance one's understanding and experience of sexual pleasure.

Bangladesh, India, and Pakistan have their own unique cultural and social contexts. In this regard, it is advisable that girls read this book more than boys.

This book can provide girls with valuable insights and knowledge that are relevant to their lives and experiences. It may offer perspectives on gender roles, empowerment, and social issues that are specific to the region. By reading this book, girls can gain a better understanding of themselves and their place in society.

Moreover, the book may also serve as a source of inspiration for girls, encouraging them to pursue their dreams and goals. It can help them develop critical thinking skills and a broader perspective on the world around them.

In conclusion, while both boys and girls can benefit from reading this book, it is especially important for girls in Bangladesh, India, and Pakistan to have access to it and engage with its content.

Now I have to find some girl and a guitar for myself.

This task seems both exciting and a bit challenging. The idea of finding a girl who might share my interest in music or could be a part of this new adventure is quite appealing.

Maybe she could be someone I meet at a local music store while looking for that perfect guitar. Or perhaps she'll be at a music festival, enjoying the same kind of tunes that I love.

As for the guitar, it has to be just right. It needs to have a great sound, a comfortable feel, and a look that catches my eye. I can't wait to start this search and see where it leads me.
