`How to Have Sex' is a book that pretty much does what it says on the package; it teaches you how to have great, fulfilling sex.  It is a guide to becoming a sexual guru that anyone would appreciate, if they like sex, and who doesn't like sex?I like the tips and tricks discussed in the book.  It was exactly what I was looking for to add a little extra passion to the bedroom and my marriage.  In fact, just reading the book made me hot!  I showed it to my husband, and he agreed that he liked it too.  Also, neither of us had heard of a couple of the tips before, so it wasn't the same old information rehashed under a new name.  It was also easy to read and quick to get through, but easy enough to refer back to when I want.I think the best advice in the book is the information regarding what the end result of sex is supposed to be.  I agree it should not just be about getting in and getting done, but it should be an opportunity to enjoy your partner's and your own body and learn about giving and getting pleasure.  Our bodies work hard for us every day; we should thank them with some great sex!  Plus it helped me appreciate sex more and be less self-conscious about it.  I have a hard time separating sex from the idea of something dirty or naughty, when in fact, it is completely natural, normal, and beautiful.  It is also vital to the success of any marriage, and I think it has helped my marriage grow stronger.  It's nice to see a book that both men and women can enjoy and benefit from!One thing that bothered me is the language the author uses.  It was nothing inappropriate or offensive, but rather the way he phrases some things that made me go `huh?'  I guess it is just the way he communicates and it didn't detract from the book, but it was a little annoying to me personally.It would have been nice to have illustrations but I understand that's not always possible in these kinds of books.  It could make them too graphic and be a put off for some people.  Still, the tips were explained really well so I could visualize them well enough to act them out with my husband, and we enjoyed figuring them out together.  It was a fun way to bring us closer together and rekindle some of the spark that has fizzled out after 15 years of marriage.  I think that this is a great book for couples to read together and enjoy putting into practice.
