So what can I say about this? Well, I gotta say that if you are curious as to why certain things happen before, during, or after sex, then grab up a copy of this. With questions about every thing from what's the world's smallest penis to do animals prostitute themselves (yea, I know....CRAZY questions!), you get your 200 naughtiest questions asked, and answered.
This is not show more something I would have normally bought. But, it was extremely interesting to read the questions and sometimes, have a good laugh. Though, I will admit, it's not all the "hot" if you are thinking that's what it's going to be. It's not a story, it's not meant to be a "turn on". It's meant to answer questions and give advice.
So, with all that being said, this is a quick guide for those that are filled with curious questions. Definitely not something read everyday or over and over again, but over all, an interesting take on sex. show less

Don't let the title fool you. This book is full of helpful and practical make-up and beauty tips that you can use for more than when you want to look sexy. One of my favorite portions was the box "The Eye-shadow Quad Demystified. I've figured out the trio, but this really helped me with the four colors.

Not meant to be a compendium of every technique and position known, this book illustrates in glorified stick-figure form some positions that can help the "tired of missionary" couple. The rating system seems to be arbitrary and there is no clear organization to how the positions are arranged in the book. It's not the best book on the subject, nor is it the worst. It does give some interesting ideas for a couple who want to flip through and try without doing a lot of reading.

kama Sutra Lite. What do you expect from Cosmo? Taking ancient Indian techniques and giving them a modern twist may work, but this is more like watering them down so that any can fall for them. Not recommended.
