Amazon Review
Back in ancient times, the barefoot doctor was a wandering medicine man who dispensed wisdom and healing to the communities of China and south east Asia. This modern Barefoot Doctor (BD), operating rather closer to home out of West Hampstead, has become something of a cult with his subversively sassy manuals that apply the teachings of the Tao to the great issues of modern personal life. First he did power, in Handbook for the Urban Warrior; then he did money, in Handbook for Heroes; and now, completing his trilogy, he turns to--what else?--sex.
A skim through the contents will soon show you that this is not a book about marriage or monogamy. But if it's sex you're after, BD does not shirk on the specifics. Divided into three sections--which could roughly be summarised "Before", "During" and "After"--he looks closely at the mechanics of seduction and desire, gets down and dirty with a bagful of erotic tips and techniques, and even looks at some of the less exciting issues and problems that can arise from sex. (Did you know, for instance, that what BD likes to call "Sudden Surprise Ejaculation Syndrome" is usually a result of "kidney yin deficiency", and can be treated with acupuncture and herbs?).
Always, BD's perspective is clear, uninhibited and, of course, refreshingly different, informed as it is by the knowledge of the Ancients. This is good, dirty, informative fun. --Dan Fielder

Excellent stuff - everything you wanted to know about sex but were too hung-up to ask, dealt with with love, respect and a truly wicked sense of humour. Should be required reading for all teenagers in particular but if you're 86 and/or Mr or Miss Lurve God/dess you'll still learn something and have a brilliant laugh. . A big contribution to the sexual wellbeing human race, but without a trace of patronising earnestness, this is like a trippy, enlightened version of the kind of tell-it-like-it is chats you have with your closest friends and lovers after the lights go out. Get it, read it, use it and spread the word. I loved it.

I like his column in the Observer so I bought this book. It is terrific. Cool, succinct, sensible and also inspirational. I left it around the house for my kids to read who are in their twenties. Particularly recommended for people in their late teens and early twenties who want to understand and learn more but also need to respect and understand each other. Should be on all recommended reading lists for young people.
