Critic reviews

"Cutting-edge." (Publishers Weekly)

Time well spent

Without a lot of Mars and Venus talk, John presents information about the way men and women view sex, that are helpful to dispel common areas of misunderstanding. I am not a big fan of lumping all women and men together into two groups and making generalizations, but some of the insights were new and very helpful. This is a presentation that everyone would love to know their partner had listened to, as it increases one's motivation to be more understanding and proficient. Basic techniques were discussed in a non-salacious fashion.

Good Place to Start

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Gray basis his writing on feedback on thousands of men and women, and although his ideas do not apply to every couple, they do provide a good foundation for lovers to understand each other.

A must read for any married couple

We listened to this book on a weekend retreat. I has increased or love and understanding of each other. My husband loved it because I no longer feel pressure in sex. And I loved it because now he takes out the trash with out me asking him to.

Very Good

I loved this book. It is very informative, and a great reminder of the differences between men and women.

Good information gives a vocabulary to use

This book isn't well written or narrated since it was read by the author. However, the basis for good communication is having a common vocabulary to use as you discuss topics and this book does that.

Sexual fulfillment is a hard topic to discuss since we as a society don't grow up talking about how to sexually fulfill the opposite sex. Typically we get negative or bad information from movies, books, magazines, etc. This book takes a general view of innate needs for men and women to be sexually fulfilled.

The concept/vocabulary of using food, i.e. fast food sex (quickies), comfort food sex, and gourmet food sex, is a great way to discuss w/your partner needs, wants, desires to ultimately understand how to sexually fulfill each other.

Its a quick listen, and if you and your partner listen together, I would almost guarantee you will have conversations like you have not had prior to listening to the book.

Learn the art of thinking

Very special book for learning the art of thinking when it comes to relation ships

Just perfect

This book gives all the advice you need in perfect bite sizes, a great read for married couples.

Good overall a tad old fashioned

I'd recommend this to couples with more traditional values. Very insightful exploration of the sexual differences between men and women, felt a little out dated in places but overall very good

differences between men and woman described well

the differences between men and woman described in a useful and interesting way. I am about to start his next book.
