Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
The Guide To Getting It On is frank, explicit, humorous and informative. Like that other popular guide to emerge from the nineties, the computer manual, this is a pretty weighty and wordy book. And, like the computer manual, it is divided into very specific chapters, 51 in total, and is equipped with a comprehensive glossary and index. The chapters cover all manner of kinks and curves. Is anal sex your thing? Then there's a chapter on it. Want to learn about vaginal massage? There's a chapter on it. Oral sex, masturbation, sex toys--it's all covered.
But this guide isn't just about the sexual mechanics. There are sensitively written chapters here about the nature of eroticism and fantasy. There is good advice for first timers with sections such as "On The Penis", "What's Inside a Girl", and "The How-To Part", which stress the importance of emotional consideration and consent. There are also brief explanations on how to recognise the early indications of breast, testicular, and prostate cancer.
Each chapter is illustrated with cartoon-style line drawings, complete with the occasional witty caption, and with first-hand accounts of how people like to "get it on". These confessionals are reassuringly honest and sometimes touching. They elevate this guide from a "how to", to a "have done and it's great!" The depth of coverage in this guide is as comprehensive as it can be without breaching any laws. How do you like it? Well if it's legal it's likely to be covered by The Guide To Getting It On. It's fair to say that no matter what your level of sexual experience is, or how much of a great lover you might think you are, this book is guaranteed to put a smile on your face--and perhaps someone else's. --Iain Robinson --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Fun and Factual,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Guide to Getting it On! (Paperback)
This is an excellent book with a superb tone. It answers every question I ever had about sex and all the questions I didn't know I had!It's very practical in it's approach but conveys the information with a light touch. While recognising that sex is fun there seems to be an underlying feeling, which I liked, that sex is about more than the physical act of two people 'getting it on'. The illustrations are detailed without being too graphic and nearly all feature a cat which again gives the book, which in size is a heavy weight, a lighter feel. All in all I'd highly recommend it, especially if you can read it in conjunction with someone you enjoy 'getting it on' with.

4.0 out of 5 stars
No-nonsense & humorous. Obviously written by 'enthusiasts'!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Guide to Getting it On! (Paperback)
Although very occasionally verging on the cooler-than-thou, this book is a pretty damn thorough description of most thing that make people go squelch.Mainly, although not exclusively directed at heterosexuals, it's a page-turner of another sort - or at least was for me, as I wanted to see what they'd left out. The answer to that is not a lot. Most every ordinary position, quite a few extraordinary ones, and a lot of well written stuff that sounds like it was penned by people who not only have had but actively enjoy sex, rather than dry medicinal prose. The illustrations are a laugh too, a million miles away from the ghastly beardy man of the 'Joy of Sex' and its many imitators. All-in-all, probably one of the best sex manuals on the market, and don't think that sex manuals are just for 'beginners'. You may not learn much new, but if you enjoy sex, and like talking about and discussing sex, you'll probably like this book, especially if you can share it with that certain special someone.

Excellent,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Guide to Getting It on: A New & Mostly Wonderful Book About Sex (Paperback)
Very good book - straight talking and a great deal more explicit than others. Makes you think a bit more laterally about other aspects of sex rather than just doing it. Very good explaining a woman's point of view with some interesting analogies.
