Sex: How to Do Everything
By Em and Lo
Published by DK Publishing (United States) and Dorling Kindersley Limited (Great Britain)
The authors of this book describe their writings on sexuality to be informative but fun, opinionated but nonjudgmental, and sexy but never sleazy. This new work lives up to their claim. It’s a visually stunning book that offers clear and concise sex advice on a range of topics and it does so while maintaining a sense of humor and lightheartedness that’s refreshing over the sometimes clinical explanations of sexual technique found in other works. Beautiful photographs by Rankin are generously merged with the text to provide both a reading and visual educational experience.
Do you want to pick up some tips on improving the basic intercourse experience? Or do you want to explore some BDSM or roleplay? This book can serve as a wonderful resource for both, and much more.
Em and Lo offer up a plethora of sound advice and technique tips amidst nicely demarcated chapters on seduction, anatomy and orgasm, manual sex, oral sex, intercourse, anal play, sex toys, fantasy and sexual health. Those of my readers who fancy themselves to be among the more hardcore of the kinky might find this book a bit too gentle and introductory in nature. However, that’s one of this book’s charms. It caters to that larger audience of readers for whom sexual exploration is not necessarily approached as an identity, but rather as something that simply enhances life and relationships.
I particularly appreciate the open-minded and nonjudgmental approach the book puts forth. All sexual paths are considered valid and good as long as everyone is looking out for the well being of others in the process.
It’s nice to see a book available to the general adult public that covers such a gamut of sexuality topics in such a friendly and nonsensationalistic manner. While the author’s clearly wrote this book for a heterosexual readership, there’s no reason other orientations can’t find plenty in this book to improve their sex lives as well.
