With 15 new illustrations, five new chapters, 48 additional pages and 2,753 updates, this fully revised and expanded 6th edition of the Guide To Getting It On is the best ever. You will be hard-pressed to find a single page of this down-to-earth sex book that doesn't bring a smile, a blush of crimson, or a moment of awe. Few books on sex are as satisfying.

This is a great book. I strongly beleive that every household should own one. This is a fun read and it's full of great information. With there being so many misnomer's about sex out there, it's a great way to educate yourself, your partner, and even a fun thing to browse through with friends. Great as a wedding present.

This book was recommended to me by a professor of Health Education. This book was written with honest, factual information like a textbook has but reads like any other book. Plus there is sketches. This book incorporates all information that a sexually active adult should know about. Including topics such as how to talk to kids about sex, different types of protection, what to do if something is uncomfortable, and even that different peoples' genitalia looks different. This also has some basic information about intersex and sexual orientation. I believe this book is a must for those of most ages (17+) who are sexually active or will be sexually active. I know that many people feel uncomfortable discussing these issues with other adults including their doctor. This is a great way to have basic, factual information about a variety of topics. This book is a great source of information. This is often found in the karma sutra section of a book store. This is not a karma sutra book. However, the information in this book can provide a basic foundation of a healthy sexuality and intimacy (including sex, love, and everyday relationships). I highly recommend this book for those looking for information. Tip: Many internet sites do not have factual information but myths and superstitions. This book is an excellent source of information.

This book is great. Whenever I or anyone I know need to know something about anything sexual we can turn to this book it's right about everything and is very useful. My friend got this book for me and I love it. The first day I got it I couldnt put it down now I look at it every other day or so. I just love it. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to know the truth and facts about intimacy.
