Rating: - Getting the Kink right : )
I don't know what the last reviewer is talking about because this book is amazing value for money. It's a half or a third the price of most sex books and absolutely packed with fantastic ideas to try. Sure if you want a big glossy coffee table style book this isn't the one for you but a book like that isn't necessarily going to have the best sex tips! I buy lots of books and I highly recommend Sensational Sex because it tells you practically everything you want to know about sex from oral and anal and everything in between.

Rating: - Oh dear
If my great aunty wrote a sex book, I think it would read like this. The tone is embarrassing and dated.

"With country music and line-dancing being so popular, lots of men long for the cowboy lifestyle"

Come on Pam - what decade are you from?

Most of the ideas read like a glossary of sex terms - very boring format and certainly not sexy. The "how to strip for your partner" section doesn't give any advice at all beyond setting the scene - for real advice on how to actually do the moves check out Tracey Cox's stuff on ivillage.com or even better, buy one of her books.

Perhaps this is one for the more mature reader but it is certainly not something you would want to take into the bedroom - more like preparatory reading.

Rating: - New Cover Same Book
Bought this book with good expectations as I had found her previous book Sinful Sex very useful. Found that this book is basically a republication of Sinful Sex less the line drawings, which I personally considered one of the most useful parts of Sinful Sex.

Rating: - A bit disappointing
Considering the title and all the 5 star reviews, I was a bit disappointed with the book. It's the first sex book I ever bought and I decided on this one because of the positive reviews, however I found a lot of the advice fairly common sense and certainly not 'revoluntionary' as the author likes to claim. The first 50 pages deal with 'sex symtoms' and other more general advice but it's really not rocket science to work out by yourself that being stressed at work, drinking too much etc can lead to less sexual desire!
The tips on 'before play', foreplay and oral sex are ok and left me feeling quite happy with myself, have apparently done some things right in the past! There are some positions explained that were new to me but I would have found pictures or sketches helpful, maybe I am thick, but I had to read a couple of them a few times to understand how to do it.
Overall, I had the impression that the author believed that most adults still have pretty outdated and stereotypical views about sexual roles of men and women what I found a bit patronising.
I would recommend this book to younger people who haven't had many sexual experiences or longer-term relationships. But I think most educated people in their thirties or older probably won't need it.

Rating: - All about sex, through and through.
I've read the "Sinful Sex", the first book Dr. Pam had and was really, really into it. This followup is all about sex, through and has lots of new materail. She also goes into some detail about "problems" and how to overcome them. A great read for anyone interested in improving their sex life. I also liked "Sex Machine"--Kane and would recommend it along with this one.
