Amazon.co.uk Review
Hip, frank, contemporary and clever,
The Big Bang is a savvy sex book, colourful in language and viewpoint. Authors "Em & Lo" of Nerve.com invite you to relish sex, appreciate your partner(s), and keep a sense of humour. This is not your parent's sex lecture: it's irreverent, chummy and downright fun. Part One, "Sex for Beginners", covers the basics, from understanding orgasm ("a few blissful seconds of rhythmic muscle contractions that release all that pent-up sexual energy back into the universe, like a whistling teapot from Xanadu") to techniques of all kinds for pleasuring yourself or a partner. Part Two, "Sex for Advanced Swimmers", discusses female ejaculation, fisting, sex toys and power play. Part 3, "Sex for Winners", promotes safer sex, with a frank, detailed discussion of STDs ("You know why flings are called flavours of the week? Because each one might have a different STD."). Whether you want to learn how to "house clean" for anal sex, choose a lubricant, use a harness or "paddle the pink canoe", you'll learn how here. All consensual sex acts are treated with delight and respect. The glossy book is illustrated with drawings of positions, sex organs and sex toys and colour photos of sexy young men and women, most partially clothed (lots of bare breasts and buttocks), in various configurations and activities. Refreshingly honest, direct and funny,
The Big Bang is perfect for sexual novices with open minds and equally fine for spicing up the sex lives of those who think they know it all.
