Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Sex. It's got three letters, makes for a hatful of points at Scrabble and it's a total mystery to most of the male population of Britain.

Men of the new Millennium need to know more about the act of "doing it" than can be learned in the snug of the "Frog and Calculator" and that's where this book on the subject comes in very handy.

Covering everything from foreplay to fetishism, Real Sex approaches the job in hand in a highly entertaining yet thoroughly informative fashion, giving very real advice and insights into the wide world of sex without being condescending, judgmental or just plain seedy.

Its secret to success is in its humorous take on the subject matter, rather than adopting the kind of rigid, scientific approach of previous "educational" volumes, like the Joy(less) of Sex, author Grub Smith hits the ground with a few well chosen one-liners and races through almost 200 pages without letting the pace slip.

It's a very laddish read, the language is strong enough to make your mother blush and it's packed to the hilt with pictures of people in the nude practising a variety of positions to give you a feel for the subject matter. However, as pictures speak a thousand words it's a real winner in the style department (so to speak).

Take any of the elements in abstract and it's either a sex manual, a crude joke book about sex or 200 pages of "naughty" pictures but add them together and what's left is a highly informative book which successfully manages to makes it point, educate and entertain. Every home should have one. --Chris Russell

Product Description
A funny, realistic book on sex for men by FHM's sex columnist. Grub Smith's column is compulsory reading in Britain's biggest selling magazine. His style is exactly right -- the amused detachment, the invitation to share his experiences and inadequacies, the fun and the adventures. The style will transfer to the book, and the content is completely new. It will take a man from first approach to final success. Grub Smith discusses, with many examples drawn from famous people as well as his own experiments, how to find and give the greatest pleasure for the man, and the woman: lists the varieties of the kiss, and presents an authoritative guide on the best positions, the most interesting places, and the way to avoid problems.

4.0 out of 5 stars An amusing and informative way of improving your sex life!, 6 Mar 2002
By rachaelbosworth@yahoo.com (Lancaster, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Real Sex (Paperback)
The author is also a writer for FHM so it is somewhat expected that the book was written soley for men, but being a woman, I also found it extremely fun to read. Its relaxed, informal appraoch to various elements of the subject makes it accessible for virtually anyone. It generally teaches you that sex isn't meant to be taken too seriously, and that 'sex is for everyone.' I found that the jokes helped to liven up the format, and the fact that positions are given ratings was highly useful. I would recommend this book to anyone wanting to genuinely improve their sex life, not just for themselves, but their partner(s) as well. Go buy it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Funny, to the point and informative., 20 Feb 2000
By A Customer
This book made me laugh so much that it got me thrown out of the library. It is unpretentious and honest, and it encourages readers to think creatively about improving thier love lives rather than bemoaning their inadequecies, or worrying about irrelevant spiritual claptrap. I was able to show the book to my girlfriend without feeling embarassed, and our sex life has consequently improved. Everything is covered here, from cunnilingus to dodgy chat up lines. Even if this book has nothing new to teach you, at least you can read it quickly and have a good laugh.

5.0 out of 5 stars A favourable review by an experienced and happy man, 27 Oct 1999
For over half a century - and during a few varied but affectionate heterosexual partnerships including two happy marriages and a number of less lasting but equally happy affairs - this reviewer has been looking out for a really good sex book.

Such book has to be 1) well and interestingly written using plain words for plain things 2) informative and set out in such a way as to make the information both accessible and, often, entertaining 3) clearly illustrated with proper colour pictures, rather than indistinct line drawings, of the many different mating postures that human beings can adopt 4) free from pretentious psycho babble and/or sentimentality.

This book meets all those requirements very satisfactorily and, although it is written by a man for men, women can be reassured by it; it is a kindly good-natured book. The writer takes some trouble to affirm that the proper object of making love actively to a woman is to please her and, in particular, there is fair warning that some women, when penetrated in some positions, can experience discomfort that it is their lovers' business to avoid inflicting.

Useful notes, referring to each of the many mating postures described, gives them 'star ratings' in regard to catering for individual needs and preferences.

This is a very good book - a truly moral book - and we have to hope that at least one of the author's ladies might write a companion volume from the feminine point of view. If she writes as well as Grub Smith then she could be a very interesting woman indeed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well presented, good fun, and may save your marriage(?)
Grub Smith excels in his writing styles for this book. His rather shaky link to the lad mag FHM may cause you to believe that this book will just be an extension of an FHM... Read more
