Editorial reviews

In Men in Bed, sex therapist and PhD in psychology Barbara Keesling contrasts a happy sexual relationship with owning a car. While she can take her car to mechanic, women are "pretty much on their own" when it comes to problems in bed.

Men in Bed essentially tackles male sexuality for women the same way an owner’s manual treats a new car. Keesling uses plain, giggle-free language and anecdotal examples to address hard-to-discuss topics like male anatomy, sexual dysfunction, and compulsive behavior.

Narrator Judith West strikes a warm but firm delivery that makes the material feel both approachable and authoritative.

Publisher's summary

Today’s woman will have on average far more partners and sexual experiences than her mother’s generation. However, she is just as likely to become confused, insecure, and surprised by what takes place in her bedroom. She’ll quickly discover that the sex she’s having doesn’t resemble what happens on the movie screen or in books. He may have trouble “getting it up.” She may even start a sexual relationship with a man who has difficulty “getting it down.” She will almost inevitably find herself in a passionate embrace with a man who is “too quick.”

Noted sex educator Barbara Keesling presents a much needed toolkit for women determined to forge a more satisfying sex life. She explains the physical and psychological causes of common (and not so common) male sexual issues and what a woman can do to help. Packed with anecdotes, sex positions, hands-on techniques, and advice on how to have an effective conversation with your partner, Men in Bed will be an essential troubleshooting guide for all women.

very informative

The author has a lot of knowlege and a pretty open mind. It seems she may also have a lot of experience on the subject which would be necessary to write this book. I enjoyed it but it wasn't particularly memorable for me. The examples helped make the topics seem less like a lecture. But overall it still seemed somewhat educational vs pleasurable.

Only on third chapter, so far almost a 4th chapter

I absolutely love this book so far. It is not exactly what I was thinking. It was going to be. I love the way that she talks about sex. She doesn’t act like there’s something wrong with sex and when there is an issue, it’s not to be a shameful thing. It’s a type of thing that can be worked on. She has so much freaking experience with not just education, but also experience, and she describes in the very beginning of the book with confidence and pride of not only her personal experience, but her educational experience. I am pretty open minded to all type of sex, but anytime I try to understand sex a little bit more and be a little bit more open. There was always shaming from one place to another whether it was somebody I was with that had a ED problem, or if I were to have sex with more than one person before I was married or any type of extreme of having sex with 90 million people all at once but the way she talks about it is just educational, easy flowing Things that make you step back and think huh? all right that’s cool nice to know where is my notebook let me take a few notes.

Informative, interesting & eye opening...

If you’re looking for some truthfulness about the nature of men and women, then this is for you.
It’ll help if you have an open mind, no judgement (put it aside for now), and are serious about hearing it all. If you’re looking to justify your beliefs, then don’t waste your time.
I personally loved hearing about the nature of the beast (I mean that in the kindness way) as I was looking to understand another way of looking at our sexual nature. Enjoy!!!

Loved it and learned a lot

This book is a must read for any woman. The author has a dry sense of humor that makes it easy to read and enjoyable. The content is jammed packed with very interesting conditions I never knew existed. Great read.

Nonthreatening, easy to understand

This is good information, and it’s laid out in a very frank way so that I don’t feel threatened by it, insulted by it, or condescending to. It’s hard to find a sex book that I can read without feeling one of those things. The narrator does a good job as well. She just laid it out there very matter-of-factly.
