Founder and Publisher Emerita Joani Blank, then working as a sex educator and counselor, started writing her own books about sexuality at her clients' and other therapists' behest.The press currently has a list of eighteen sexual self-awareness titles, including innovative and practical non-fiction with non-judgmental techniques for strengthening sexual communication.

This isn't bad. I'm a bit... uncomfortable? Unconvinced? Uncertain? about Queen's advocacy of naming and developing different sexual personae for different situations. I can see how it could work, but I'm not sure sliding towards Muliple Personality Disorder is a universally constructive approach for adding new elements to one's life. I'd kinda prefer an approach towards developing a single, unified personality.

Then again, not having tried it, I probably shouldn't knock it.

Otherwise, it's interesting, it's well written, it's worth checking out.
This book is written in Queen's usual casually witty and informative style. There is lots of information for how to be more comfortable being outgoing about sex. Queen's suggestions are helpful and allow you to be more demonstrative and outgoing about sex. You can learn how to talk dirty without stumbling and turning beet red instantly, and how to how off for a lover without feeling silly. I'd also suggest reading this with Hanne Blank's _Big Big Love_.
