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.

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.
