Very good.......2007-06-27

I felt pretty good about my knowledge of this area but I did learn some things I either didn't know or had forgotten we can all use a refresher. Worth the time and the cost would recommended to anyone wanting to increase the pleasure for both paties.

ok for linguists.......2007-05-13

I found this book verging on the ridiculus in as much as the excercises that one is expected to do with the lips, tongue and jaw are similar to an oral marathon.

wonderful.......2007-03-20

The book can be cut to the last 30 pages, but they are worth twice the price.
Make your lady a happy lady, Study up and you will be amazed.

Aging Boomers Pay Attention... .......2007-03-04

I found the item well worth the price...but of course I cannot say exactly
why! Suffice to say that if you are seeking some new strategies as you age,
you will find the book interesting. For those looking for cheap thrills,
look elsewhere. A mature book for mature minds.

Nothing new.......2007-01-13

There wasn't much in the book that I didn't already know. I would say it is a good book for someone who hasn't ever given a girl an orgasm, but for an experienced person, there is very little in the way of new information. The valuable information in this book could probably be condensed to 2 pages.

Book Description

In the long-awaited follow-up to her groundbreaking, million-copy bestseller The Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands, Dr. Laura now focuses on how men and women need to understand and appreciate the uniqueness of masculinity and femininity; what the best ways to relate, caretake, and nurture each other are; and how to bring a marriage back from the brink of disaster.

Dr. Laura asserts that in order to produce and sustain a wonderfully satisfying marriage, spouses must recognize and appreciate the polarity between the masculine and the feminine. Both husband and wife have power in the relationship, and each needs to realize this in order to ensure personal satisfaction. Using real-life examples from her call-in radio show, and giving real-life solutions, Dr. Laura focuses on the typical mistakes made by men and women in their relationships and shows how marriages can not only survive but thrive.

a feminist take on Dr. Laura.......2007-06-25

Dr. Laura is not a popular personality in many circles, to say the least. She's anti-choice, anti-feminist and anti-gay. So imagine my surprise when I picked up her latest book, The Proper Care and Feeding of Marriage, and discovered that I actually found some useful advice in it.

First of all, a disclaimer: I am not endorsing her political beliefs. And I admit she makes it difficult to get past her gratuitous rants about feminism. (Sample: "Chivalry is largely dead, and feminism is the murderer.") But please bear with me, because the fact is, Dr. Laura is not as crazily sexist as she first appears.

Her basic gist is that you should put your husband first, make him feel loved and be the kind of person that your husband would want to come home to at night. Those tips can be useful reminders, especially if you're the kind of person who plans so many extra-curricular activities that you hardly see your partner unless you schedule a rendezvous.

A newlywed myself, I tried following her advice for a week, and found that I did actually quite enjoy it. So did my husband. I took care of him more, made sure to "snuggle" at night and even cooked dinner. (I had my limits, though -- we still shared cleaning and shopping duties.) Dr. Laura even gets a little, well, dirty, which won't be a surprise to those who have read about her pre-fame nude photos. She advocates buying sex toys, naughty lingerie and even a Brazilian wax. Does that sound like conservative family values to you?

If you can flip past her snide comments, the book can be quite useful -- but you may want to look for a used copy to avoid funding her soapbox.

The Proper Care and Feeding of Marriage.......2007-06-09

For a Marriage to work you both need to be working together and headed in the same direction and working for the same goals. Is you don't all of the books in the world will not help a marriage. But if you work together, I think most marriages can overcome the problems, challenges, or hard times. Remember it is not greener on the other side of the fence, it is just the other side of the fence. Don't throw it all away for what you think might be there, work hard to keep and improve what you have...

Read this book and help your marriage.......2007-06-07

I liked this book much more than other books I have read on having a successful marriage.(Dr. Phil, Men are from Mars, etc.). Dr. Laura pulls no punches and gets to the point with out all the fluffy emotions and long relationship stories. Her premise is that the key to a successful marriage is to continually give gifts to each of from love. Sacrifice for each other you will get back what you give. She advises that this will work wonders if you are married to a normal reasonable person. If you are not, and have married a truly bad person, you should run, and run quickly at the very, very beginning. However once kids are involved she strongly recommends staying in the marriage if at all possible for the sake of the kids until they are 18. I agree with her in principle, but I could not do this, another decade with my ex was more than I could bear. The big point of the book is old fashioned in the fact that men should be masculine and women should be feminine with all the role appropriate behavior that entails. Women should respect and appreciate their husbands if they are working hard to support the women so they can stay home with the children, and not be self centered. Men should treat their wife like a queen, and women should treat their man like a king. Dr. Laura always suggests looking with in for selfishness whenever a spouse denies their partner anything reasonable. This book is a wake up call for many of us whiners. Everyone will get some great advice that will help them in their marriage.

The Proper Care and Feeding of Marriage.......2007-05-29

I love Dr. Laura's radio show, but this book was a disappointment. It is badly written and there are several grammatical mistakes and lots of badly phrased sentences. As for the content, Dr. Laura is recycling her two latest books - _The Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands_ and _Bad Childhood - Good Life_. Nothing new in this book and not worth the money. Get it at the library or skim through it at the bookstore; 15 minutes is all you need.

Engaging and I want to read more from Dr. Laura.......2007-05-25

I think this book is easy to read and quite engaging as Dr. Laura writes by using examples of her radio show callers in the form of narration and actual conversations. Admittedly, I was put off in the beginning where she emphasizes on how feminism plays a part in the conflicts of a marriage, but after she explains the core roles of man vs. woman in a marriage, I am quickly able to understand the rest of the book via the simplified perspective. I learned quite a lot from reading this book and I've just ordered two other books by Dr. Laura because I find the examples easily understandable, and I want to read more.

Book Description

The companion book to Ian Kerner's smash success She Comes First, He Comes Next offers women his sometimes radical, always expert advice on everything from the nature of male desire to sex-techniques that work

While women everywhere benefited from Ian Kerner's sexual philosophy of female pleasure in She Comes First, now it's time to learn all about what turns men on and makes them stay on. In He Comes Next, Kerner covers every angle of male sexuality, illuminates the most common sex-life ruts, and offers practical, knowledgeable answers to women's most frequently asked questions. In his role as a sex therapist, Kerner has spoken with countless men not only about the best sex they ever had, but also perhaps more important about the best sex they never had -- experiences they always desired and fantasized about, but were afraid to share with their partners. In the spirit of "full exposure," He Comes Next is the closest you'll ever come to waking up in a guy's skin and knowing what truly makes him sexually tick.

Sexual pleasure goes beyond tips and tactics, however. Our sexual identities -- and the expression, gratification, and growth of these identities -- is fundamental to the success of our intimate relationships. With step-by-step and -- yes -- blow-by-blow detail, Kerner provides a clear, concise, achievable vision of sexual pleasure, one in which each technique forwards the action and where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

Written in the same witty, insightful, and utterly readable voice that has made She Comes First and Be Honest -- You're Not That Into Him Either so popular, He Comes Next is the thinking woman's guide to enjoying sex to the fullest and ensuring that he does the same.

A great big O.......2007-07-01

I'd give this book a big O for outstanding. This book goes beyond just serving as a how-to on having great sex, but first and foremost provides a how-to on having a great relationship. (And, believe it or not, the two really are connected.) Continually entertaining, informative, and insightful from cover to cover, this book will likely suck (ok, puns are hard to avoid in writing this review) you in from the start and keep your attention throughout. As the author conveys throughout the book, the secret to having an exciting relationship in the bedroom is to first have an exciting one outside of it

WOW! This is an Amazing Book!.......2007-05-13

I picked this book up on a whim and read it cover to cover without putting it down. The author truly "has a handle" on how to please a man. He is straightforward and provides easy to understand instruction. I would recommend this book to anyone. I was amazed at what I learned and just applying a few of the techniques in this book will maximize your and your partner's experience.

Always learning.......2007-05-13

I think any man will appreciate a woman reading this book-it's written intelligently and I believe will truly enhance the male sexual experience when employed by women (and in turn, the men will reciprocate!)

Good for Basics.......2007-04-12

I got "she comes first" for my husband 3 weeks before I bought this book. She comes first is one of the best book purchases ever. Based on that, I bought this book. It has some good info on the psychological side of a man's sexual needs, and a few tips and techniques for women. It was a little dry, and I felt the focus kept coming back to me, the woman. It is a very nonjudgmental book, and is very reassuring. It does not expect some amazing bedroom act, rather it shows you how your own emotional tendencies are found in him, and how to satisfy them. It is a simple book with simple techniques that are extremely effective. I WOULD RECCOMEND THIS BOOK, AND IT'S EVEN BETTER IF YOU GET "SHE COMES FIRST" WITH IT. My husband has turned into a different person since this book, and I am loving it.

Ok..........2007-03-29

The book is OK, but nothing like its counterpart She comes first. That one is a much better book with lot's of techniques, this book is very philosophical about the whole relationship issue and connection between two people. Not very excited about it and certainly did not learn any new techniques.

Book Description

“One of the most admired men in the world of seduction” (The New York Times) teaches average guys how to approach, attract and begin intimate relationships with beautiful women

For every man who always wondered why some guys have all the luck, Mystery, considered by many to be the world’s greatest pickup artist, finally reveals his secrets for finding and forming relationships with some of the world’s most beautiful women. Mystery gained mainstream attention for his role in Neil Strauss’s New York Times bestselling exposé, The Game. Now he has written the definitive handbook on the art of the pickup.

He developed his unique method over years of observing social dynamics and interacting with women in clubs to learn how to overcome the guard shield that many women use to deflect come-ons from "average frustrated chumps."

His tips include:
*Give more attention to her less attractive friend at first, so your target will get jealous and try to win your attention.
*Always approach a target within 3 seconds of noticing her. If a woman senses your hesitation, her perception of your value will be lower.
*Don't be picky. Approach as many groups of people in a bar as you can and entertain them with fun conversation. As you move about the room, positive perception of you will grow. Now it's easy to meet anyone you want.
*Smile. Guys who don't get laid, don't smile.

Customer Reviews:

Must own.......2007-07-01

The Mystery Method is a very well-thought out and presented guide for flirting and creating sexual curiosity and interest in women in the first five minutes. It kind of feels unusual reading these pick up guides, by since they are so popular I bought a few to see what they are all about. This book is very easy to find the lessons, as it's written almost in textbook fashion. Very compelling and fascinating material. You will immediately see things you are doing wrong, and how to correct them. After all, if you can't push a woman's buttons to start with, the only way to attract them is purchasing their attention, which is an expensive hobby that caters to predatory women you can't trust for a minute.

Of the other books, I would couple this with The Game, which is the Mystery Method in action in a fantastic story line. Also, you should pick up The Professional Bachelor Dating Guide - How to Exploit Her Inner Psycho which covers techniques after the first 5 minutes, ie, more in depth speed seduction psychology covering dating time management, and subconsciously attracting women for the longer term. It includes an asset protection guide to set up before marriage, which is invaluable.

Lots of Tips. Not a standalone material. Impractical content. .......2007-06-19

When I first look up for this book, I was looking for an alternate method of the Ross Jeffries's Speed Seduction course, and in fact the Mystery Method is well conceived. The problem is that this book lack of practical use. Don't get me wrong, this book explain the outline-strategy very well, but when Mystery gets to the part of showing you how to personalize your own routine (like Jeffries successfully do) the book falls out of practical use.

For example, Mystery doesn't tell you how to correctly structure openers or negs. Furthermore, when Mystery arrive to comfort phase, he does not deliver his message correctly, he doesn't show you how to build comfort or how to story tell, in its place he concentrates in giving you Tips and capsular information. In my opinion, this Phase lacks of a coherent and unitary message.

Instead of Mystery Method book, I recommend Magic Bullets e-book, is an improved and updated version of this method, with far more practical use.

Cracking the code.......2007-06-13

I agree with the other reviewers who say the book is dry. Well, it is a method and not a story like The Game.

Others may question the legitimacy of the method, or even the fact that there is a system like this that works.

Nevertheless, I found myself somewhat in awe of this guy as I was reading this book. Truly, this guy is a pioneer, and the good news is that he is not just successful because its him. It is rather clear that these results are transferable and can be modeled successfully, hence the method.

For me, as a person who works in sales, I am in awe of the compliance momentum concept, which is getting people to jump through a small hoop first, and then progressing to bigger hoops, and punishing them for non compliance. This is genius, and similar to Cialdini's Influence, when someone does you a favor, they become inclined to do you more favors in the future. Mystery seems to have taken this idea to another level. Even the neg concept is very Cialdiniesque-if you must criticise someone start out with the negative first, and then turn it into a positive- this raises your value. He also uses the social proofing concept pioneered by Cialdini.

MM starts out a little dry yet as you read along it becomes more fascinating, particularly some of the comments he makes, IOD's, IOI's,compliance momentum, comfort,overcoming LMR, jealousy plotlines, negs etc. I found my jaw dropping in wonder and awe on several occasions, as I can see how these methods would absolutely work.

I would recommend The Game first, which is the story featuring Mystery as a leading character, and then get this. MM is certainly is an eye opening book, and I would love to see this guy in action. Cialdini's book is also a must read.

If you were to find this review helpful, please click yes.

Will really open your eyes.......2007-06-08

This book will really open your eyes if you are a typical "frustrated chump". Mystery may be a little crazy, but he has some amazing insights into the female psyche.

The problem with it is that his methods will not work equally for every type of woman. They're probably best suited for 20-somethings but there is a lot of truth in there.

Definitely worth the money!

Forget what your Mother taught you!.......2007-06-02

This information should be taught in school. Relationships are difficult enough but worse since most of us have been advised incorrectly. I personally have used this system with great success. Get it.

Book Description

In Sink Reflections, Marla Cilley -- the FlyLady -- helped hundreds of thousands of her fans combat overwhelming household C.H.A.O.S. (Can't Have Anyone Over Syndrome). Taking a "baby-steps" approach, she offered little chores to do every day, to wipe out clutter and feelings of inadequacy. Now, in Body Clutter, the FlyLady and Leanne Ely, the Dinner Diva and creator of the Saving Dinner series, team up to teach readers how to handle and erase the clutter they carry on their bodies and minds when it comes to body image.

The FlyLady and Leanne say that it's not about finding the perfect diet, it's about the way you feel about food and your body and understanding sound nutrition. With warm voices, unique lingo, and no preaching, they apply a step-by-step technique, coaching the readers from beginning to end and sharing their own success stories along the way.

Customer Reviews:

Terrible!.......2007-06-15

I'm not normally one to go online and post a bad review, but I was so thoroughly disappointed by this book that I felt I had to do something about it. Not only is it terribly written, but there's no true insight or mental depth to the book. The author's style of writing is just as haphazard and messy as one of the rooms in her house. I do not recommend wasting your money on this book. The most the book does is provide someone with a little bit of comfort to know that there are other messy, overweight people out there. But alas, it doesn't provide any fundamental insights on changing poor eating habits or increasing exercise.

It's not about the weight.......2007-06-09

I've read so many testimonials about this book -- and I've read the book twice myself. Author Cilley has really hit on something important, and it's not about dieting.

FlyLady's mission is God Sent.......2007-06-04

If you look on the grand scale of things you will appreciate the wisdom Flylady puts into this book. Its all about "Fully Loving YOURSELF" = fly, answering those self doubts and putting them to rest.

Marla exposes those inner demons that drive us to put ourselves down, and she gives us examples of how to overcome and take charge, one baby step at a time. Its just convincing yourself that you are worth it. And I believe we all are. Her vision allows us to see ourselves as Jesus sees us. Loveable souls

With the use of the baby step process of building routines that become a foundation for living, the way to success is really quite easy to follow. I recommend this book and her other one too. We are worth the efforts we put into caring for our families. Give back to yourself what you give to others and you will see more joy than you ever thought imagineable. Seize the day and order these books that will be your first baby step towards flying! You are incrediblity worth IT >----->

Good for today's environemnt.......2007-05-29

I'm not exactly the target market for this book but the discussions on body clutter, how we see ourselves, how the media adjusts how we see ourselves, how we deal with our emotions and past history through food, how we don't make the correct choices for our best, and how we let our "inner brats" take over our good choices have all been helpful and pertinent reading. Im in my mid 40's now and want to reduce my weight some without a fad diet and get my health in tip top shape. This book is a great tool for learning how to do that for myself, by myself without gadgets or the present popular diet.

Warm, loving support for turning around your life........2007-05-28

An honest account by the authors of the health, body, and mind issues of being overweight. Simple, but effective suggestions to discover and discard the "clutter" that defeats most diet programs. This is not a diet program, it is a declutter program that gets you to look for and at the roots of self-deprecating behavior. I am not overweight, but have other issues and this book is valuable for me, too.

I Hate you, Don't Leave Me.......2007-06-10

When I first read this book, I had to stop after each chapter..sometimes after each paragraph to cry. At last, there were people who understood and felt what I had been going through my whole life. It was such a relief. The only down side is that the book is a bit dated.

After a few weeks, I got up the courage to show the book to my husband and suggest that he read it. After all, I'm the one with BPD. When I showed him the book, he said, "Oh, our marriage therapist gave me this book to help me understand you better." My only regret is that I didn't learn about this book sooner.

Borderline Personality Disorder.......2007-06-06

This book is a good introduction to BPD for the lay person. It is not the final word for a clinical professional. Should be read with the understanding that there are gradations of BPD, as exists among all mental illnesses.

Great Insights, Slightly Dated.......2007-05-23

When I read the opening chapter on "Jennifer," my ex jumped out at me. It was as if Kreisman and Straus had met and perfectly captured her personality. The insights into those with a trapped child psyche made sense of the nearly incomprehensible behavior patterns of those we love and have failed to reach. More importantly, the authors provide guidelines into how to respond to these suffering human beings. I wish I had read this book before the relationship hit the rocks; it would have helped me understand what was happening with her and how to respond to her crisis. I do disagree with the authors on one point; those with BPD are not really manipulative. From what I've read and seen, BPDs are so focused on maintaining their adult facades that they have little ability to manipulate those that love them. Their behavior is nearly always defensive and self-preserving, a by-product of fear and resulting anger.

Great Book.......2007-04-16

This book is an absolute must read for someone who knows little or nothing about BPD. If you want to know more be sure to order this book you will be glad you did.

Entering the World of Borderline Personality Disorder.......2007-04-11

"I Hate You, Don't Leave Me", is a short and (bitter) sweet book on the topic of Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). This book provides tangible and lucid examples and/or case studies in order to understand the disorder and the pathology it develops from. The examples and/or case studies are painted in story format and are very easy to digest and read practically in story format.

In my experience with BPD I have discovered that this disorder is usually misdiagnosis as another disorder, such as Bipolar Disorder, General Anxiety Disorder, Schizophrenia or just plain old Depression. This book also tries to remove any conjectures in regards to myths about BPD. For instance, that this disorder only effects women or only transpires if there is a history of abuse. It provides the information in black and white. However, there is a strong legend for the rest of the information that mainly is gray.

I realize that there has been some criticism that this book is dated and provides little valid information in the 21st century, since it was written about 20 years ago. In some ways I would agree and in other ways I would not.

This book was written in 1989, so yes there is still this freeze on some of the substance. For example, some aspects of the Cold War and Russia are provided as examples in understanding BPD and Social Sciences. Now this isn't necessarily a bad thing, but reading this book 18 years later it seems more like a reference in history than social sciences. Yet one could argue that history, BPD and social sciences are all the same thing. Also since this book has been written, gender roles have come a long way, so has technology and psychological research. When this book was written the DSM-III was the psychological frame of reference, not the DSM-IV-TR, what is currently being used.

BPD is still very much a new disorder, not in the fact that it hasn't been around for a long time, but that it is just recently has begun to be understood. There are more references to it in textbooks, research, personality classification and pop culture (such as novels and film). It is not as much of a "leftover disorder" as it used to be. This means, that professionals in the mental health and/or substance abuse field are beginning to see the influence that BPD has in the realm of psychology and social sciences.

As for this book providing no hope for people suffering from BPD and this book could cause more damage than good, well I don't know. I don't have BPD, so I don't know how I could have reacted to this information if I was suffering from BPD. Nevertheless, this book provides treatment techniques, how to seek support, what type of medication that can aid the client/person of BPD and no "cure" transpires overnight. So these former notions might not mesh with the holistic ideology of client/person with BPD.

Overall, this is a great starting point for anyone, professional or common person, to introduce themselves to this interesting and perplexing personality disorder. However, this book should not be the only form of treatment for anyone. It should be treated as a frame of reference, not the "say all of the disorder". In other words, if you were hungry and wanted a sandwich to eat, should you read a book about how to prepare a sandwich, or you should you go and consume one?

A good read.......2007-05-13

I would rate this book higher if I wanted to be a player or whatever.

There's a lot in here that's useful for someone like myself who's just kinda shy and would like to meet new people - but ultimately I don't like all of the strategising - don't get me wrong, I may wake up one day and realize that maybe it's really necessary in today's world.

The truth is I haven't really had a lot of problems attracting attention but I haven't had any practice going out and "picking up". Unfortunately, my last breakup is accompanied by the fact that I no longer have the convenience of large numbers of classmates to interact with means that meeting someone is a little tougher now.

A great guide for seduction........2007-05-09

"The Layguide" really has it all together, as far as "lay guides" go. There are lists of things to do, to not do and how to act towards women that can inevitablly get you an "in". The real issue of the book, and issue of most guys wanting to date more, is the issue of having or not having money and/or looks. These things, according to the "Layguide" won't matter as long as you apply yourself. I can relate to that, as most guys can. While perusing Amazon, this book came highly recommended, along with Get Laid Now! The Man's Guide to Picking Up Women and Casual Sex. I'm glad I had the chance to find both of these books.

Thoughts on The Layguide by Tony Clinke.......2007-05-06

Although I believe 100 percent that Mr. Clinke is himself an exceptional PUA, he lacks proportional talent in writing.

The book lacks structure and at times is very inconsistent. One minute it's "get her phone number" and then it's "never ask for the number, let her give it to you" and then it's "never give her yours" and so on. The book is full of little rules for behavior, that A. often contradict a previous rule, and B. are painfully vague and generalized. In the end, the book is just a messy pile scattered ideas that places no focus on the fundamental issues, leaving out all of subconscious things and subtleties that truly determine how women feel about you. Needless to say, it does not live up to its silly and excessive title, which promises the world but more than likely will just set the reader back even farther in the game. After reading it, he will most likely say to himself "wow, if i can't get laid after reading this book, then there's really no hope for me at all". Let's keep in mind, this book is the thoughts and experiences of one man (and not much of a literary man) whose personal successes are the culmination of his unique qualities... not that of the general population. Find your own way, reader, instead of reading this sloppy guide which will more than anything confuse, and possibly hurt your chances with the opposite sex.

More Fun Than Anything.......2007-04-08

This is a pretty good book. It is more fun than most of the books in the pua genre, not taking itself too serious. The advice is pretty general and can be found all over the Internet. It doesn't get in-depth like other books do. It does have some good laughs here and there. I think this book is better for guys in their late years of high school and early years of college than guys older than that. Also read The Professional Bachelor Dating Guide - How to Exploit Her Inner Psycho, which is for a more mature audience and has some more in-depth, good advice, as well as God Is a Woman: Dating Disasters, which is very good on all levels.

Alpha Summation.......2007-04-03

One of 100's of "How To" guides - but in this volume the reader will find a composite and detailed summation of most of the basic information on the subject available.
Clink, although accomplished in his own right, gives credit where credit is due. In fact, if one has read Neil Strauss' THE GAME - a lot of the names will be familiar. I found this book practical and entertaining, and pretty detailed. There's many schools of thought out there on the art of the pickup, and Clink touches on most of them. The more I read on the subject, and the more I practice the gambits, the more it boils down to being a confident male. But a lot of the information contained herein will enable the reader to build that confidence with the knowledge he acquires - or better said, be able to fake it till you make it.

"Most people suck performing oral sex," writes Marcy Michaels, and "a simple want of skill and knowledge is to blame." Blow Him Away aims to supply that skill and knowledge and teach you how to give your man earth-shaking pleasure.

Speech therapist and voice coach Marcy Michaels is "a doctor of the mouth." It's not such a stretch (pardon the pun) that she can guide you towards "mastery over your lips and tongue" for performing fellatio. Before you practice on a warm body, you'll do solitary exercises for jaw control, proper breathing, easing tension, swallowing, and "tonguemanship." Work out "lazy lips" with kissing exercises such as Saltwater Pump, Monkey Face, and Jug of Plenty. Twenty-seven tongue exercises are next--both basic and intermediate level--for flexibility, suppleness, and dexterity of this love muscle. By the time you bring your partner into the picture in Chapter 10, you're ready to give your man oral sex that will leave him cross-eyed.

Twenty line drawings illustrate positions and techniques. This earthy, graphic guide to fellatio is lively, clever, and fun to read. And your partner will appreciate it! --Joan Price

Too Basic .......2007-03-21

This is all the stuff you learned in high school. Save your money and ask your partner what they enjoy!

Blow Him Away.......2007-03-08

Excellent book. For someone who thought they knew everything, I found out I was not that knowledgeable. This book gave me good ideas and exercises to use. My husband says Thank You!

New Approach.......2007-01-23

This is a whole new take on the sex manual. It's not a list of the same, boring suggestions you'd find in Cosmo. Instead, it suggests mouth, lip, and tongue exercises to increase your ability and stamina. It makes for a fun way to learn a new exercise routine.

great guide for getting over some oral sex hurdles.......2007-01-17

This book talks about getting over "ick" factors (mental hurdles) as well as physical ones (exercises for the neck, mouth, jaw, and tounge and how to keep breathing). I highly recommend this even for people who think they might know it all but have some troubles with cramping of the mouth or jaw (like I used to haha).

best book on this subject.......2006-12-13

Let's just say, I suck at sucking. I have had several issues ranging from not being able to breathe to lockjaw, and never knew how to fix them. Also, I thought all you needed to do was suck and that was it. The other books I've read just go into how to do things, not how to get your jaw, tongue, and throat into shape so that the act can be performed correctly. It addresses main issues women have with the BJ, and has exercises so that you can get past the physical and emotional issues, and get your mouth into physical shape so that lockjaw, gagging, cramps aren't issues. I highly recommend this book for women who generally dislike BJ's but want to do them more. :)

Amazon.com Audiobook Review

Relationship counselor John Gray focuses on the differences between men and women--men are from Mars, and women are from Venus, after all--and offers a simple solution: couples must acknowledge and accept these differences before they can develop happier relationships. In this unabridged version, Gray gives a spirited delivery of his message, especially when role-playing typical male/female interactions. Although it takes some time to adjust to his slightly nasal tone, the information is sound and gives both men and women helpful hints on improving themselves and their union. (Running time: 9.5 hours, 6 cassettes) --Sharon Griggins

Book Description

Once upon a time Martians and Venusians met, fell in love, and had happy relationships together because they respected and accepted their differences. Then they came to Earth and amnesia set in: they forgot they were from different planets.

Based on years of successful counseling of couples and individuals, Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus has helped millions of couples transform their relationships. Now viewed as a modern classic, this phenomenal book has helped men and women realize how different they really are and how to communicate their needs in such a way that conflict doesn't arise and intimacy is given every chance to grow.

Customer Reviews:

Truly a revelation.......2007-06-23

Apart from the Bible, this is certainly the most important book I have ever read. What a revelation! John Gray's analysis is brilliant and invaluable. Almost every situation he describes is familiar to me. If only I had known and understood these things forty years ago, so much misunderstanding and heartache would have been avoided and love enjoyed so much more.

Many characteristics we may assume peculiar to our spouse turn out to be "Martian" or "Venusian" traits, and conflicts are inevitable however much we love each other. Understanding these fundamental differences with our partners makes the strange and unfathomable become fascinating and attractive!

This book is essential reading for all men and women who desire a fulfilling and loving relationship with each other, whether single or long married, happy or otherwise. It is very easy reading and will capture and hold your attention from the first chapter through to the end. You may laugh and you may weep, but your love life will be transformed for ever.

.......2007-06-12

I was so looking forward to reading this book. I really was interested in what this famous tome could offer to my already-solid relationship, and found it to be so frustrating and so typically male-dominated when I was through. It really isn't all that helpful learning how to never ever make a man feel like you disapprove of something they are doing, never ever ask them to do anything using the word "could" (always make sure they have an out if they don't want to get up off the couch by asking him with a "would" so he doesn't feel obligated) and never ever make him feel unloved or rejected or even show one single second of slight disappointment (you are instructed to go to another room and "center yourself" so you can come back with love and acceptance in your eyes) no matter how many times he rejects you or doesn't support you or doesn't give back, only takes. Barf! Even the sections that address women's "needs" are really back to more ways they need to treat their man -- "Men don't say they are sorry because then it would appear they were wrong??" Give me a break. If you're wrong or someone is hurt by what you do and THINKS you're wrong, be a big enough person to apologize for what you did that upset the other person, make it right and move on, no matter what gender you are. How is that a partnership with one person doing all the relationship repair and giving unconditional love no matter what she gets in return because a man doesn't want to appear "wrong"? How is one half's pride the most important, driving force in a twosome? I sure wouldn't want a life like that. I think I will stick with what's working in my already-solid relationship instead of wanting what this author thinks is "perfection". Sure it is = for him!

An invaluable resource........2007-05-29

Yes, it is a bit gimicky, but that just adds to it's charm, and adding humor into a subject that makes everyone tense and emotional only helps lighten the mood. Like another person said in their review, this is an invaluable resource. This book doesn't focus on how to play games with the opposite sex to win them over. I hate books like that. No one is truly happy playing games and pretending to be someone else in order to get the person they want because deep down we want the opposite sex to understand and like us for who we are, and this book helps us learn how to be oursleves and get what we want, what we really want. This book has not only helped me connect more with my boyfriend, but has also allowed me to understand other men in my life, like my father and brother. =) The gimicky language makes reading it more fun.

Men go into Caves, leave them there!!!.......2007-05-14

Very good read could save time and money in avoiding counselling. Clearly indentifies the sign posts in situations and advises best course of action, even if that is not to say a word particularly when man is thinking in his cave!!! Also great for identifying how ones own behaviour can be causing confict, to recoginise this and adjust.

The aliens have landed.......2007-05-02

This book is an invaluable resource for improving relationships. I have never read another book that has managed to hit the nail so sqarely on the head when describing the "why's and when's" behind "alien" behavior. I cannot believe how many times I have taken a man's behavior personally, judging his actions from the standpoint of why I, myself, would act in such a way, rather than understanding these things make perfect sense to him, and that some of my behavior is just as puzzling to him. This book teaches you how to overcome this type of miscommunication.

This book will decode for you mysterious behaviors such as "Mr. Fix It," the phenomenon of "the cave," lack of/initiating motivation, and "strange" translations of what you may believe to be be plainly obvious statements. For the guys, the decoding includes how to initiate the release of (female) resentment, reasons for talking, the miscommunication of what may sound like blame, and the phenomenon of the "well." For everyone, there is great information about differing emotional needs, respectful communication, asking for/receiving support, and avoiding arguments. I thought John Gray's analogies were right on the money.

With this blueprint for communication, you cannot help but bring more ease into the relationship you have with your favorite alien. This is the original foreign language dictionary for relationships, and it is still the best.

Book Description

Women want to be in love, get married, and live happily ever after. Yet disrespect for men and disregard for the values, feelings, and needs of husbands has fast become the standard for male-female relations in America, often creating struggle and strife in what could be a beautiful relationship.

Countless women call Dr. Laura, unhappy in their marriages and seemingly at a loss to understand the incredible power they have over their men to create the kind of home life they yearn for. Now, in her most provocative book yet, Dr. Laura shows you—with real-life examples and real-life solutions—how to wield that power to attain all the sexual pleasure, intimacy, love, joy, and peace you want in your life.

Dr. Laura's simple principles have already salvaged and revitalized innumerable strained, stagnant, even seemingly dead marriages and have changed the lives of millions. Now they can revitalize yours!

Customer Reviews:

No Nonsense Sense.......2007-06-08

Dr. Laura always shoots the straight goods & this book is no exception to her track record. She's not intending to solve all the world's problems, but she does speak directly to the heart of MANY problems our American families struggle with in today's culture. Proper Care is a practical, kick-butt, inspiring book that ANY woman would benefit from. It's also a great gift book!

The biggest issue.......2007-05-29

We find in relationships when we have problems that respect is really the biggest issue. Dr. Laura's book " The Proper Care and feeding of husbands" is a mind changing book. Dr. Laura is an in your face kind of gal. When I was in highschool I was first introduced to her by my Latin teacher during a free-period when I helped grade tests, and papers. I was shocked as I had never heard anyhting like her radio show...a strong woman...I was amazed.
I came to read this book years later when I was struggling with a relationship. Everything in this book clicked with me. When you're in a bad way in a relationship- as much as you want it to be right- you create your own barrier most times. It taught me to be respectful, gratuitous, and to remember the hard work that every person commits to the relationship. Instead of nagging about what you don't like- cut some slack and appreciate what you do like.
Dr. Laura also addressed the issue of insecurity. She made me realize that part of why I was not happy with my significant other was because I was not happy with myself. That alone gave me the courage to do what I needed to do for me. It's a book about respecting the ones you love, and respecting yourself.

Have an open mind & it makes sense.......2007-05-27

If you're worried about slipping decades back in the feminist movement by following Dr. Laura's advice, then you'll probably skip right past the common sense advice. Dr. Laura promotes celebrating the differences between husbands and wives. Generation X and all that came after have been brain washed into thinking that there is something wrong with being a woman. This book points out the beauty of how men and women can compliment each other. Men have their roles - they are men. Women have their roles - which are no less valuable to the world or marriage - they are women. This book can truly change your marriage.

Common Sense.......2007-05-11

This book is not as bad as some people have reviewed it to be. Although, I found a lot of the content to be common sense. You know...mutual respect, making the other person in the relationship feel wanted and needed. Plus, it implies that if you follow all this advice, your husband will be putty in your hands. I gave it a shot and did not really see any difference.

This will help your marriage!.......2007-04-28

This book has helped our marriage in more ways than one. Our relationship, our parenting, our intimacy, our friendship. This book was exactly what I needed!
