First, if you ever heard of the author before you know that this is not a how to book on doing it on the counters. Although the author is pro-kitchen sex and does include some basics on general sexual information on men and women this book was written by a Christian psychologist on how to have a good marriage. Which he feels includes having great sex by being emotionally connected with your spouse through out the day and treating each other with respect and love as an equal. Although this book included a lot of information already included in other of his books on things like personalities and interactions between people, I would recommend this book, if only because I love it when Christian writers “take back sex” by talking about how sex for a married couple is meant to be an awesome (in the traditional sense of the word) experience of connecting and enjoying their bodies, minds and souls. (Or at least the first and last of the three as the mind tends to shut down if one is really really enjoying the other aspects.) Also on a silly side it has a whole long paragraph on different silly names for the penis. (Which then goes back to being serious talking about peoples’ lack of useful sex education and societies demeaning of women with its views of sex, but still it was a refreshing laugh in a serious book.) Thought, on the subject of why boys are taught silly names for the penis, and girls aren’t really taught what to call the vagina, as a father of multiple kids, I feel he should have at least noted an important reason kids are not taught these words when young, that being if you teach a 2-3 year old anything, they will repeat it, and if possible at the top of their lungs in the most inapropate time.
