4.0 out of 5 stars More descriptive than erotic, 3 Sep 2005
By A Customer
Toni Bentley's discovery of the joys of anal sex is told in this book in a way that shows a couple of things. Firstly, that she has a dancer's approach to her body, regarding it as an instrument to be used as effectively as possible, in this case to achieve the best orgasms possible. Secondly, that she is totally unembarrased and matter-of-fact when describing sex acts she has performed so far and the pleasure she got or gets out of them. And of course the practical advice on performing (or preparing for) anal sex comes in handy for those who would like to try it for themselves sometimes. And lastly, that ms. Bentley shows a tendency more often encountered in French female authors toward sublimation and putting her thoughts about her sexual feelings on an intellectual level; possibly thus wanting to make her book more "salonfaehig" for a mainstream readership.

But when sub-heading a book as "an erotic memoir" the idea should be to get the reader as emotionally involved and exited as you as the writer felt yourself when having all those wonderful erotic encounters. And this is where the book falls short in this reviewer's opinion. Graphically descriptive this book certainly is, as well as practical for the novice in the field. But "erotic"? I don't think that reading this book together with your partner will get you both terribly in the mood. On the other hand, it IS well-written and may teach you a thing or two.

For a book that is - if not really erotic - at least entertaining, it fully deserves it's 4 stars.
