Regardless where the toy market takes us or when/if the multitude of website addresses in this book become obsolete, good advice is good advice. The most important information in this book (on safety, communication, imagination) will stand the test of time. It starts out slowly--with tips on introducing sex toys into a relationship--so as not to overwhelm a true beginner. However, by the time readers reach the end of the book, with its chapters on sex machines and alien probes, their own kinks probably seem quite vanilla in comparison--and that is this book's subtle gift. Kudos to Ms. Blue! After all, the sex machine aficionados are clearly not this book's target audience. They're well past it on the kink-o-meter. Including information about the wilder devices and contraptions gives the nervous novice a big boost of confidence by saying without saying: "You just want to peg your boyfriend? Pffft! That's nothing. What are you waiting for?" The book is quite comprehensive in its coverage of toys--from standard vibrators and dildos to harnesses to webcams and teledildonics to pain play to sex furniture. The author's smooth narrative makes for an enjoyable read. I laughed out loud at a couple clever turns of phrase. And, yes, I did learn a thing or two. Until next time, peace & passion, ~ Alessia Brio for Toys for Tarts http://toys-for-tarts.blogspot.com

Violet Blue has written some of the most informative sex books on the market, and this is just another good example. It may be for a somewhat specialized audience, but it still covers the subject with a thoroughness and readability characteristic of this author. You would certainly have to be a very adventurous couple to use some of these toys, but the information is all here if you need it. Another book couples might want to investigate, particularly "adventurous" couples is The Sensuous Couple's (Flip Over) Guide to Seismic Oral Sex. Everything you need to know about oral sex is in this volume. In Book I, you'll read about cunnilingus. Flip the book over, and you will read about fellatio. Buy both these books together, and you will be the most adverturous, sensuous couple in the county!
