Today’s review is for the three part Wild Ride Kit from Good Vibrations!

Normally when you pick up a sex position book, you’d flip through the pages and see picture after picture of people fucking in all different contorted ways. Thumbs up for Dr. Sadie Allison, who travels way passed that with her awesome instructional Ride’em Cowgirl: Sex Positions for Better Bucking!

Offering over 90 different possible bucking positions, Dr. Allison doesn’t just slap down the picture, she tells you why to get into a certain position, why it will feel good, how to reach the ultimate orgasm, how to make it a multiple, how to help your partner with his HE-Spot, while he touches your G-Spot.

She does an excellent job at touching on some very ‘not so talked about’ subjects, and the language she uses in her book is easily understood, yet very informative. I love that the points she touches on are helpful to many different audiences.  For example, if you’ve never masturbated or had an orgasm, she explains how to go about it, slowly but successfully.

There are many important parts of sex, other than just the act itself. The prep – there is cleanliness, grooming, partner consideration. Dr. Allison spends a good deal of time and detail on kissing, dry humping, foreplay, which are so very important. A few in particular that I enjoyed: the HE-Spot and the Backdoor Boogaloo. How often do you get tips on cleaning up the possible poop? She covers it.

Dr. Sadie’s layout of the book is for couple reading. A major fault among couples is the fear of expressing desires in bed, feeling you may be way out of line, or scare the hell out of your partner. If you’re reading this side by side, the embarrassment part is removed by ‘reading’ it. You can ask your partner at that time, is this something that would interest you? You never know, your partner’s favorite position may be the Banana Split, and you never knew. Read the rest of this entry »

A few months back, I got a chance to review Erotic Bible to Europe, an interactive website featuring a detailed map of every sex toy shop, swinger party, lingerie store and more, that Europe has to offer.  Of course I was blow away by not only the brilliance of the idea, but the flawless execution.  But then again, the project was created by the fabulous Erika Lust, porn director extraordinaire, so honestly, I’m not surprised.  And now this awesome guide to everything frisky on the other side of the pond comes in book form as well!

Organized by region and country, this hot pink hardback is the book to get if you find yourself en route to anywhere in Europe – from Benelux to the U.K.  Each of the nearly 250 pages is filled with beautiful artwork and detailed accounts of what every shop has to offer, as well as pages dedicated to erotic museums, film festivals, and even one on how to translate a few super sexy phrases into 4 different languages.  Tres chic!

While this book is seriously classy and a total must buy for any Europe-bound bon voyage gift, I do have one frustration with it.  Unlike it’s internet counterpart, this bible is destined to become dated before folks even take it off the shelf.  Stores open up and close down all the time, making the carefully collected information null, which is a total downer if you’ve gotten excited about a place that no longer exists, or miss one that does.  I suppose that’s why it makes sense to have both the book and the site work together to make sure the selection stays as current as possible.  Another website plus is the database that allows users to add their favorite erotic establishments, creating an all-encompassing list that includes a variety of options.

Whether you go for the site or the book, this dirty bible is a must-have for travelers and Europeans alike!

Tristan Taormino wasn’t kidding when she named her latest book “The Big Book of Sex Toys!” The book is huge! Well, not huge as in you can barely carry it to your coffee table, but massively packed full of more knowledge than you can shake a dildo at (and don’t worry, you’ll learn exactly how to shake it just right).

While this beautiful hardback book with tasteful, full-color images and easy to navigate organization gets 10 points for being stylish, smart and sexy, that’s really just the surface. To sum it up – this book is a book about sex toys that is so much more than a book about sex toys.

From the first page, Taormino’s relaxed writing and wit take the taboo out of the topic and lets the reader really explore sex toys from the ground up – starting with breaking stereotypes and (my personal favorite) a quick brush up on genital anatomy. I love that Tristan (sex writer/educator extraordinaire) makes sure to work from a solid foundation before moving on to materials and toy types. I mean really, you don’t want to be explaining clitoral vibes to someone who has no clue where their clit is… Read the rest of this entry »

It’s been a while since my last book review, but I actually have a reason besides laziness this time. Today, I am reviewing not one, but two erotica comps from Cleis Press. A couple of months ago, they released Girl Crazy and Boy Crazy – two collections of coming out erotica that tell of first time gay encounters. It only makes sense to discuss them both now.

First up, because I’m a girl who loves girls, I’ll begin by tackling Sacchi Green’s Girl Crazy. Let me just say that I was surprised by the variety of tales told in this one. I was expecting a bunch of cute and relatively innocent stories about BFFFs (Best Friends Finally Fucking). While there were a number of them, and they were pretty good in general, I was glad not to read 17 consecutively.

Stories like Maggie Cee’s Femme Into Me, the tale of a budding (and kinky) Butch/Femme relationship that repeats the line “She Fucked The Femme Into Me” over and over again, were not what I was I was expecting. I found myself pleased and turned on as I poured over the pages.

If you’re looking to relive those innocent days when you found yourself wondering what your best friend’s hand on your knee really meant, the first story is super cute. Sommer Marsden tells the story of two friends who give in to their desires one hot summer day in Spitting Seeds.

If you’d rather read about boys, you’ll definitely love Richard Labone’s Boy Crazy. This collection of firsts has the same feel as Green’s, but with more testosterone.

My favorite story is The Viking by Ron Wolfsham. It’s the story of a young twink who finds himself at a frat party and ends up spending the night with a football player he’s dubbed “The Viking” due to his red hair and massiveness. It was super hot, but I also loved it because the Viking turns out to be a good guy who happens to love cock and football. It’s nice to see this story play out like a fairytale and I have no problem admitting that!

Overall, both books are a lot of fun. I love the mix of cute coming out stories and tales of torrid first sexual encounters and recommend either, depending on your personal tastes.

Add Girl Crazy or Boy Crazy to your library today. I’ve got both!

Porn superstar Tera Patrick is truly a renaissance woman.  With titles like businesswoman, entrepreneur, model and mega popular porn star under her belt, Patrick is trying her hand at a new distinction – author.  It was just announced that Tera Patrick will be releasing a tell-all autobiography in early 2010.  

“Sinner Takes All” will be filled to the brink with sex, passion, porn AND a foreward by comedian Margaret Cho. I can’t imagine this memoir won’t be a good read.

The result is a tell-all that takes an emotional and revealing look at the struggles Patrick has gone through to find true love, happiness, success and peace in a world that almost broke her. “For the first time, Tera talks about her inner demons, her darkest days, and how she overcame those obstacles,” Borzillo-Vrenna [co-author Carrie Borzillo-Vrenna] said. “I was surprised, inspired, and impressed by how open and honest she was willing to be in this book. It takes a confident and brave woman to share her most private moments.”

“Sinner Takes All” also includes “hot sex stories, funny anecdotes, embarrassing moments, an inside look at her marriage to rock star/actor turned porn star Evan Seinfeld, and a deeper peek at her childhood, as well as dozens of sexy photos, diary entries, and answers to her fans’ burning questions.”

This will definitely be a fun way to start the new year.  You will be making that resolution to read more, right?  Here’s the perfect chance to succeed!

Summertime is all about cashing out on your stored up vacation days and hitting the road in search of sun, fun and perfect weather. And what better to get you ready for your trip than “Do Not Disturb,” Rachel Kramer Bussel’s anthology of hotel sex stories. There is just something about a freshly made hotel room that begs to have its sheets tossed on the floor in a fit of passion and its sign hung on the doorknob.

Whether it’s the escape from real life or just the excitement of getting busy in a completely new and different place, hotel sex really is the best. Sure it means you get to take a shower together then toss your wet towels on the floor with abandon, but more so, it means you get to really work those imagination muscles and be whoever you want to be without having the fantasy wrecked by that pile of dirty laundry in the corner, or that bathroom that really needs to be cleaned. These twenty stories of getting hot away from home bring the thrill of those crisply made beds and mini shampoo bottles to your biggest sex organ (your brain, of course) and will easily have you thinking of taking planes, trains and automobiles just to get away and get it on.

I am a bookworm (hence the new tattoo – yes that’s my arm and my desk, and my new Sex & Candy book in the background).  I love to read pretty much anything and everything that comes in front of my face.  And while our friendly neighborhood Porn Librarian does all the erotica reviewing in these parts, in honor of my new tattoo (yeah, I’m nerdy like that), I thought I’d write about my favorite sex books.

Check out my top five sex books after the jump.
