Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

The Guide To Getting It On marks a new generation in the story of sex manuals. The 1960s saw a new sexual revolution leading to the publication of The Joy Of Sex, which has graced many millions of bookshelves. This is a guide to come from the 1990s, now published in the United Kingdom for the first time in its third edition.

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

4.0 out of 5 stars No-nonsense & humorous. Obviously written by 'enthusiasts'!, 24 April 2001
By A Customer
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun and Factual, 17 Oct 2002
By A Customer
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, 27 Sep 2000
By A Customer
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.

A very useful book of the ins and outs of sex and such, but a bit of a disappointment in terms of how it politicises sex a little. Read more
