This was a decent beginner's book written for men by a woman, so I'm not really the target audience but felt I could give an honest review regardless. The book contains very basic information, but good conversation-sparking ideas. Nothing too kinky. Shame my ex-husband didn't read it! Hah. But anyway, it's a good place to start. There are better books out there, though.

You won't find many kinky sex tips in this book (and that may be a good thing)! Written by a woman for men, "Sex So Great She Can't Get Enough" is an accessible, non-judgmental book on basic communication in the bedroom. For men who have difficulty expressing intimacy with their wives and girlfriends, this book is a good place to start. Those who are looking for advanced tips, or want to spice things up, should probably look elsewhere.

I confess I was curious when I borrowed this book from the local library. The author based herself on lightly on psychology, common sense as well as personal experience to write it. It is an easy read clearly destined for mass consumption. I finished the book feeling far from knowing "everything a woman needs to know about the good, the bad and the kinky" as promised on the jacket.

like some of these reviewers, i wasn't the target demographic for this book. however, i did learn a few things from it. it's written in a very accessibly style, very down to earth. the author obviously understands how sensitive (ahaha) some guys can be about this subject, and discusses it all very matter-of-factly.

as for the suggestions themselves, most of them are rather obvious, at least they were to me. they fell into two classes, mainly psychological, i.e. "pay attention to body language," and physical, i.e. pc muscles and breathing exercises. none of it seems to me to be life-altering information, but of course your milage may vary, especially if you're younger and/or not as experienced.

all in all, something to get out of the library, perhaps, rather than purchase.

This is a horribly titled book, but it does give you an indication to the books contents. While there are a few helpful and insightful additions in this book, many of the things discussed in the book are fairly common sense and the rest are so completely geared for the male anatomy, that as a woman, they did not have much resonance for me. That said, I think that if a man wanted to improve his sexual prowess this would be a good book to read to help with confidence as well as performance. It is written in a friendly and non threatening tone and there is not a judgmental attitude you often encounter with sex books. So, this is a pretty decent book, but one definitely geared for men who are in heterosexual relationships.½

Keesling, Barbara. Sex So Great She Can't Get Enough. Lanham: M Evans, 2012.

Before you start scratching your head and thinking I've lost my mind let me say but one thing: yes, I am reviewing a sex book for men. Call me a raging feminist but as a woman I had something to prove by requesting this book from the Early Review program. LibraryThing called my bluff and here I am. I want to believe I can review any book and that I'm not restricted by my gender or narrow mind. When asking for books to review I don't want to be limited by genre or preference. I think I am capable of taking any subject matter and giving it a fair shake - MY fair shake. I also requested Sex So Great to play devil's advocate. What if a man is too shy to buy such a book? What if a guy is just the opposite, too egotistical to believe he needs such a book? Either spectrum of a man's ego could deter him from furthering a sexual education with Dr. Keesling. What if I dated a man and knew he needed the good doctor's help? Could I buy the book, translate her knowledge into my own words and garner a better sex life for myself in the process? Not exactly. This is a book primarily written TO men with one curious section for women discussing vaginal shaving. (As a side note, what's a man supposed to do? Hand the book over and say, "here honey, this part is for you"? So, having said all that let's turn to Sex So Great She Can't Get Enough.

I want to commend Barbara Keesling for her calm, gentle, and understanding (and sometimes humorous) manner with which she writes. You can tell immediately by the language she uses and the tone she conveys that she is has expertise when talking to people about sensitive subjects, not just men about sex. She is super careful not to offend. Let's face it, men are sensitive about their private parts. As a woman, you can never call him "little" or "wimpy." Leave that up to him. Self degradation is completely acceptable. Based on Keesling's writing style I would say she is a good therapist and her other books (at the least the ones related to sex) are equally approachable. Sex So Great is mostly common sense advice that would sound just silly coming from my mouth. Keesling exaggerates the vulnerability and timidness of a woman to prove a point. Every moment a man makes must be slow and thoughtful. He could easily frighten his woman away. That's not entirely true, but I get it.
Don't get me know. Sex So Great had it's educational moments for me, too. For instance, I never knew men should exercise their pubococcygeus muscle or practice a series of breathing routines for improved sex.
So. In the end, could I read the book and pass along the information to my lover? Some of it, sure. But like trying to give myself a foot massage it won't be as effective and it certainly won't feel as good.½

This is a guide directed at males in a reasonably stable relationship. As with so many of these sorts of books it will likely be read by the female who will attempt and fail to persuade the male in the relationship to read it. A pity, since it is well presented and addresses many common relationship problems. No matter how experienced someone thinks they are they will likely derive some benefit from this book. A little introspection and perseverance never hurt anyone.

Amazing what one can learn if they just open their mind. I thought that I knew enough about sex and my equipment. This book taught me how much I didn't know. There are some good exercises in this book that can help guys in the bedroom.

Sex so Great She Can't Get Enough was written for the married male in mind, but there are a few sections for the single man such as body language and how to tell if a woman is interested. The book is a quick read briefly covering a dozen aspects of sex. When information is light, there are no further reading selections or bibliography. I thought she did a great job summarizing the pros and cons of the major copulation positions; explaining the reasons for low desire and ways to increase it. There are several exercises to improve your breathing, tongue dexterity and PC tone. Unfortunately, I found the instructions somewhat confusing. I did appreciate when she suggested certain activities, foot rubs comes to mind, she gave clear directions on how to do them. The last chapter is entitled 'Make Her Want You' which seemed like the focal point of the entire book and a great place to tie all the information together.

I was not a fan. It seems like it was written in 1985 and the tone is a bit light and fluffy for my taste. I found the information elementary and did not come away with much new knowledge at all.

I really should've read the description for this book better when I requested it. I didn't realize it was aimed at men, and being a woman, am not really the target demographic. Nevertheless, it was a very interesting book and I did get some good information out of it. I would really recommend this book to anyone, male or female, who just wants a little more information about sex in general.

A good little book to help men last longer in bed. It really works, but like all this kind of stuff it takes prolonged effort. No silver bullet, but I do have to say the process is fun, some exercises are with your partner which makes the hole thing fun for everyone.

If you only own one self-help book, make sure it's this one. An excellent book to have on the shelf when you need some revitalization and need to remember the sexy woman that got lost in the 9-5 drudgery. Complete with exercises and sassy advice!
