Learned so much!

I learned so much from this book. It is full of great ideas, techniques and conversations to have. I am much more excited about trying new things now and feel I am better prepared. Thanks to everyone who put this book together!!

Eye Opening and Educational

The author has a pleasing voice and direct approach, making the topics feel less taboo and more approachable. For lifelong learners out there, whatever the topic, it is well worth a listen.

Somewhat Dated

My only note is that while the Author is fantastic and well informed the material is somewhat Dated.

Great information

Tristan is definitely contributing to a sex positive world. I let a close friend read after me. They have always been a bit prudish or Victorian in their thoughts. Tristan even opened them up with her explanations and honest approach. This is a must read!

Very direct and informative!

Get the book! Loved the sections on role play and erotica. Make time to read parts with or to your partner.

Turning Vanilla on its Head

I’m picky about sex advice, but this is one of the must-haves.

Whether you’re happily vanilla or the type who’ll try anything, this book will probably give you a few ideas to make it even more satisfying and fun, either alone or with a partner (or two).

Taormino is, without a doubt, the hardest-working sex educator today. She’s in the news constantly, a multi-media threat with her feminist porn and educational videos, her VoiceAmerica radio show, or her new Feminist Porn Book: The Politics of Producing Pleasure. With a devoted and ardent fan base, Tristan is the go-to gal for many women and men who want the real scoop on imaginative, out-of-the-box sex.

Down and Dirty Sex Secrets covers oral sex, multiple orgasms, strap-ons, female ejaculation, erotica, S&M, sex toys, and more. Her warm conversational tone makes the book much more accessible, especially if you’re encountering some of these ideas for the first time.

Even though she speaks with unmistakable authority, I feel like I'm having a fun chat over lunch!

Laid-back direct approach to sexual adventure

good book. .not all the medical jargon. she is to the point with lots of ideas and how to.
